Thanks. I've got similar one on both my bikes.
Nice! What do you run in your pack? I use a duter bike 20 with a camo rain cover when I'm off roadways and don't need the hi vis so much. I have snacks, water, extra layer, home brew first aid kit etc.
A ton of stuff actually. A pump, inner tube, DSLR camera, hex keys, masterlink, chain tool, zip ties, drink bladder, extra clothing such as beanie, scarf, thick socks, merino layer.. garden shears and folding saw for trail maintenance, a powerbank, trailmix, lighter, sawyer water filter, canteen, tourniquet, toilet paper, insect repellent, head torch, rear light and other miscellaneous small stuff.
I don't wear camo per se, but green and earth tones along with water proof boots. I like to not be seen when ever possible and that seems to work most of the time. I occasionally explore abandoned buildings and other places I'm not necessarily supposed to go to so I prefer to not draw too much attention but also I guess I suffer from some form of military autism aswell.
The shears and saw are great ideas. Multiflora rose is the bane of my existance!
I played Metal Gear 3 as a kid which awakened the military/camo nerd in me lol but no I don't wear a ton of camo out and about other than that cover which is in knockoff multicam. Like you I prefer to keep a lower profile in the woods if I can, makes it a more interesting place
