Many of the cruise-friendly Caribbean countries have camouflage as their military uniform and so it’s illegal to wear it in these countries.

    Dick Cheney? Is that you? Homie? You never had to even make an excuse.

    Which gets back to “why do you want to be hard to spot when people around you have guns”. Unless we are now apparently saying that birds can see orange and actively ignore it like in the other branch.

      I realize you’re speaking from a position of ignorance, but yes birds can see orange. Even the states I checked nearby have an exception specific for waterfowl. It’s also the reason their hunting seasons don’t overlap.

      From the Wisconsin DNR:

      When and where a firearm deer season (listed on page 3) is in progress, it is illegal to hunt any game, except waterfowl, unless at least 50% of the hunter’s outer clothing above the waist is colored blaze orange or fluorescent pink.

        This thread is hilarious. People acting like experts about shit they know nothing about. I appreciate you engaging with these morons so I don’t have to.

          Yeah, it’s a confidently incorrect situation for sure. That said, I agree with it being weird to wear camouflage if you’re not in the military or hunting. It’s kind of a poser thing to do. Like wearing a Harley Davidson shirt and not having a motorcycle.

            tbf it is a kinda neat aesthetic, i ended up with a couple green camo tank tops because they were a good price and i kinda vibed with them.
            like it is intended to look like nature at a distance, and i do like nature…

            And even for specific hunting clothes, those will inherently be made to be warm and presumably comfortable, makes sense to buy it if you’re gonna be out and about a lot for whatever reason.
            At least here in sweden, a country that’s like 70% forest by area, hunting stuff (aside from guns obviously) is very readily available.
