What is this obsession with wearing green when we're out? I'm wondering if it's not misplaced somehow, and if all our bushcraft roll models were wearing blue, would we be?
Are we hiding from something when we're out? Surely not animals, they can't see in colour anyway?
People perhaps? In most cases isn't it better to be seen, because let's face it, I'd be much happier seeing somebody sitting very quietly in the undergrowth wearing something bright purple than stumbling across someone whose trying not to be seen, in green.
And if any of us run in to trouble when we're out. As a sensible bloke once said, better red than dead...be seen.
Why are we so worried about people spotting us when we're watching wildlife, as for most of us, it's the wildlife we're there to spot not the people?
