I prefer orange. I guess some camo-dude survivalists might not like it. High visibility cordage means it can be spotted easier, plain and simple. Have a knife lanyard made with it? Find your knife easier in hard-to-see conditions. Anything you use it for or on can be spotted easier. Anything lashed to a tree strung across your little campsite or whatever that you don't want to run into? Nice to hear from you Boacrow, any time-elapsed pics of a shelter you want to show us?
