I dress in various ways,depending on my mood and what I will be doing. A fair amount of my clothing is quite bright and conspicuous, and some of it is reasonably dull. Not much of my gear is tactical;that is mostly a marketing term for heavy, specialized gear. I am not spending much time on battlefields these days.

When doing SAR, I and my comrades spent a lot of time looking for people wearing tan shirts and gray pants or other inconspicuous colors, not always successfully. Some bright clothing would have helped the search effort. It is a good idea to have something conspicuous so you can stand out.

One of the best items I ever had wass a light reversible down jacket - one side was a dark green; the other was international orange. Both colors came in handy in different situations.
