My biggest thing about looking tacticool /out/dooors is that if you wander onto someone elses property or you're just exploring around doing things 'out of the ordinary' for your typical hiker, you look suspicious. Plain and simple.
I see someone wandering way off trail wearing super bright hi-tec clothes, I think- Hikers.
I see someone wearing full camo, I wonder why he isn't trying to be seen.
I see young people in normal clothes with no gear, I assume they're probably smoking a little dope.
This is all just my personal opinion and bias, and I've reduced it to the simplest possible terms (i'm sure someone will try to pin me down on something.....) but that's just my first reaction. If I see 5 guys all tacticool'd out at camp and I figure they're just goofing around, but 5 guys tacticool'd on the back of my grandmothers several hundred acre farm? I figure they're out poaching.
Point being, tacticool is nearly synonymous with camouflage, camo is for not being seen. Not being seen is for activities which you don't want to be seen. Not being seen either implies sketchiness or hunting. Not having a weapon like a bow or rifle, as well as the absence of blaze orange implies not hunting. Processes of deduction leaves sketchiness.
