when choosing outdoor stuff do you go for the tactical military stuff or the bright colors?

I prefer the colourful stuff. Especially for winter clothes. When everything around you is just white its nice to have some colour

I prefer subtle colours for most things, but if there's a good deal on good gear, then I'll use whatever colour.

That's why my tent has a neon yellow fly. I hate it's look, but it's a great tent

I buy based on function not on appearance. Whether its' camo, bright orange, or whatever, makes zero difference to me as long as it does what it's supposed to.

I like lots of different bright colors. Makes it easy to find stuff in my pack. It would be a pain in the ass if my shell, down coat, and fleece were all black, so instead they are sky blue, red, and lime green.

I like ridiculous but honestly who cares.

I wear earth tones.
I don't wear the tacti-tard shit, though, because it's typically over-priced for the same functionality, or has functionality I don't need.

I like my stuff different colors from each other. So it becomes that much easier grab what I need.

I used to (long time ago) go with all black, but digging your your bag to pull every piece of gear to find that one item got old.

Without going full tactical, I stick mostly to earth tones, though some higher-end stuff can be extremely colorful, especially the ones on sale, and in this case you can't really afford to choose.

Plus I can be using some of that stuff on an everyday basis so I want it to be acceptable to wear in public and not look like a mall ninja. And if I need to hide innawoods, I take out my large rain poncho and hide underneath.

fpbp.

I think a lot of mainstream clothes/gear companies are catching onto this and not offering things in only brilliant colors.

The paradigm I think has gone from this
>bright colors- be seen in emergencies, indicates something new and nice
to this
>neutral colors/earth tones- LNT, blend in better to not be so obnoxious, wearability in town

it's a move I'm in favor of.

Strictly dependant on what I'm doing /out/

My snowboarding gear is neon colors- makes it easier for ski patrol to find my corpse.
If I'm out on my property, its mil spec gear I was issued or surplus I've bought, color varies by season. I don't like people knowing what I'm doing, even if I'm just checking the fence line or some shit.

If I'm just minding my own in the forest, and do aime casual /out/ nights in safe surroundings, then I want earthy 'tactic' colours. If I'm climbing a mountain or do anything extreme where the chance of me getting lost or dies then I want bright colours (orange, lime green, red etc.).
In snow it's always nice to have some colour.

I do a lot of hitchhiking and roadside camping; it's generally safer to not be visible. So all my exposed gear is either black, earth tones or camo. Items that I rely on though, like my knife, lighter, filter, etc are all blaze orange so I don't accidentally leave anything behind.

That's why I like that big orange Kershaw I have. After catching a feesh, I will often set the knoife or my Leatherman down in the grass while I hurry to relase the fish (if it isn't a snek) and I have had to search for my Skeletool and little CRKT many times when I notice they are missing 20min later.

I should get some flourescent orange or yellow enamel that I can bake in the oven at home. I could disassemble the Skeletool and just apply it to the handle or outside frame of that and could even do the blade of the CRKT and just sharpen it again after.

Right, except in the actual purpose of camo you need to be less visible both when using a knife and when not. Hell, drying your naked feet is demasking in a combat scenarion.
