I'm as camp as the SAS that drive the pink 4x4's. What's worse, is that I'm able to wear pink and make it look butch. Those fairy wings of yours BP....still not butch mate haha.

That is correct,..also [ and I cant confirm this] but Pink is almost invisible against a bright sky
...and of course wearing camo, is no good without make-up on...
,.. even the black guys have to put on camo cream, faces light up very well night or day

Realtree is very effective when used in hedgerows, I use it when pigeon shooting. If you want ultimate invisibility then 3D camo, the type with several layers of cut shapes sewn together or one layer of cut shapes over a black mesh, is amazingly good but tangles up with everything. I use a 3D mesh type camo net to build hides with and you will be surprised how well it works.
Remember, there is very little real "black" in nature, so dark greys are a good choice of solid colours as long as you don't have everything the same shade. Big bold strips of asymetrical grey shapes will confuse humans ability to subconsciously register another human shape, so differently coloured arms or legs is useful.

I keep a ghilly net for hunting use, but don't wear camo, prefering to wear ordinary outdoor work clothing in natural earth tone colours. That way I look like the natives, do not attract attention and my appearance is no different from any farm or construction trades worker.

camo in British farming country is normal working gear.

You have not been outside lately have you CH?
It's deer season. It started in September and will run through Feb. 8 of 10 people in WVA and KY are wearing camo at this point in time. They will continue to do so until spring turkey season ends.
There is more camo clothing on the hangers in Walmart than all other colors combined!

Camo seems silly when you are required to wear blaze orange for safety.
During archery season, perhaps. But not in gun season.
RE: What Camo are you rocking? - Mortblanc - 29 October 2013
You are wearing the orange for the people, not the deer. The deer can not see the orange and one can take the orange off when not in the field.
In my state the orange is not required when archery hunting, only for gun hunting, and that is only two weeks of the season.
I generally wear camo for duck and turkey hunting too. The orange is not required for that. Turkey, geese and ducks can see the color spectrum very well and full camo is almost mandatory for turkey.
I also keep a 3x size hooded camo sweatshirt with the GHB. It is big enough to fit over any coat I might be wearing if needed for a "slip between the trees" trip home.
