I was going to post a question about BOB color. I use a mil spec ruck (black) but have realized that I'm using it more for carrying my laptop than being a dedicated BOB.

I want to get another ruck just like it, but was wondering about the color. I though to myself, "If I get tan/khaki, then it will not draw so much attention if I encounter others in a long term survival situation, or (may the universe forbid) I end up in a shelter." Then I thought, "If I get ACU camo, it will be less noticable from a distance if staying out of sight is required, but that might draw unwelcome attention from others."

Then I came up with this solution: get the ACU pack and a brightly colored rain cover.

If I need to blend in, I can go without the rain cover, and if I need to look like an average guy, I can put the rain cover on...to blend in with a crowd.

Comments? Suggestions?
