"SURVIVAL SITUATION" IN THE FOREST?

That is a big category. I assume you are addressing the elements. Your comment on "...most likely needed..." is somewhat different that what color.

One "...point being that if you go into the forest all dressed in camo, greens and blacks you will be harder to find..." That is a pleasant way to be in the forest.

To weather the elements, I use USGI Goretex EXCWCS top and bottom. Underneath is a heavy poly set. BDU's next. Commercial silk long johns last. Continually change during the day as needed.


To address being seen - an SDU-5/E strobe at night and a rescue panel for day.

To initiat rescue - ACR PLB MicrOFix

To communicate - VX-7R unblocked for Idaho important frequencies.

To not get lost - Garmin 60CS
