I have a kangooroo skin too, Kenny. was draped in it and crawling through the bushes and some dingoes attacked me! fuck they hurt! never made it to the plants that day.
When in the city, I wear a monkey suit, and when I'm in the woods, I don a ghilly suit.

right on man.
Friend // the deal is you have to blend in. if that means camo gear then wear it. i prefer to wear a green or brown shirt and camo pants or camo shirt and brown pants. the thing is you gotta have a reason to be out wherever it is you're growing. Like a fishing pole if you're near water, a shotgun or 22 rifle if it's hunting season. a bird book and binoculars would work i guess although never tried that one. Sometimes i just go under the pretext of "going for a walk". the hardest part is when you have a 5 gallon bucket of water with ya.. if anyone asks just say you didn't wanna get thristy.
the best thing is never to get spotted, go early or go late, even go in the dark, you'd be surprised how much you can see in the dark, specially under a big moon. boy the sounds in the dark sure are amplified though.
have a plan before you hit your spot.

Sure do, i believe its a must.
swamp thang: crazy sniper outfit you have going 
yeah man, that one always gives me the creeps... i have to carry the big 80L soil bags in at night so nobody sees me.. and because i cant transport those other than by car, so i usually drive as close to the woods as possible, park for a few minutes only, and unload all the bags well hidden in the rear of the woods. the next day i come back by bike (which i then hide in the bushes) and carry the bags through the woods to my spot.
same goes for the other way around: when harvesting, big bags get hidden near the exist of the woods and then picked up (also sometimes by mountainbike if its a small spot/partial harvest).
when driving the bike or the car i try to look like a normal recreational sports guy, green tshirt is a must though... as soon as i hit the bushes or entrances towards my spots the camo head has to come out of the always ready backpack.
the camo hat gives gives me a strong feeling of protection from choppers and hidden deer cameras that i am missing when not wearing it. even when its summer and i am digging holes, the hat has to stay on for as long as i am near my spot...even if the sweat is dripping off the cap.
otherwise a green tshirt and maybe a camo jumper. the (always long!) shorts are usually regular sport trainers. and i am always wearing thick ski socks under the long trackpants. it gets hot as shit but at least for the way towards the spot it is mandatory to not get too many tick bites and scratches on the legs.
going all camo would look a bit weird in my neck of the woods.
in my always ready backpack i always carry a pair of gardening gloves, rose scissors / garden scissors (for cutting thick stems/tunnels through the bushes), some big green plastic bags, some cable ties, a bottle of water as well as a folding shovel. the big shovel i have to bring in with the bags of soil since it looks far too suspicious sticking out of the backpack.
happy and safe season 2013

I wear camo when I fuck. That way she won't see me cumming.
I hunt. I am good at it. When we are in the mountains or colorado plateau I wear light or dark colored natural color clothes and can blend in much better in my drab wool and camel t shirt than some one in their fresh new camo that has so many uv brighteners in it they look to glow in the sun. Even the old camo that is well worn seems to stick out more than the faded colors I wear.
If you must wear camo look into an outfitter pattern or predator camo. They blend in and break up your outline more than any other, your outline is what they will see most.
And stay off the skyline. If you must crest out do it next to a rock or tree. The point is to break up your human form so a bush or rock in front is as good as one behind.
Most hunters I know scout year round so the trophy hunting excuse is a good one but other hunters are wise and you must know the area and trophy animal you are supposed to be looking for. Hope my rant helps, good luck on that trophy buck man!
Well at least wear outdoor clothes to protect yourself from the elements and nature. Thick leather hiking boots would be a start. Where I live we have snakes. Also, maybe change out of your boots before you leave the field. Maybe hide them somewhere. Besides covering your face, I would also wear gloves, especially if they already have your prints on file.

Camo wearing will bring suspicion, period, and it takes just that one time. If its hunting season, great, if your 10 miles from an urban area, not so great. Special Forces don't jaunt around the woods in camo, lets put it that way. Its over-rated, Im a veteran too!
Had a cop try to search my car over GLOVES, told him no! Another one questioned me over an empty glass jar that had water in it. Lesson learned from those fuckers.
Gloves are good though, plastic bags over the boots works well in mushy areas.

The less stuff associated with growing you use or display, the less hassle there will be, in my experiences.
One pet peeve of mine is taking the time to find a spot where I can just plant, walk away and Do Nothing. I almost die laughing when I hear stories of people dragging in soil and other shit in the wee hours of the morning. I salute you braves souls, but wtf? Most of us already know gardening and such, take 5 minutes to dig around for good soil, which is free. I have literally hundreds of these spots, Im not trying to sound like some know-it-all dick, rather, I am just lazy i guess. I hate seeing people spend money and take into the woods, where everything is really provided if you spend the 5 minutes.
I always hire the lazy guy, he will find an easier way to do it. - Bill Gates

i go completely naked screaming "BATHSALTS" at the top of my lungs......... haven't had a single person approach me yet....interestingly enough, they run.
all kidding aside...... I wouldn't be caught dead out there without camo.

Let me elaborate, I am not saying wear yellow. Just that many simple clothing choices that will work just as great as blending in as camo, without the hassle of change-hiding, random encounters, whatever. I just think it sends a red flag if someone happens by chance to see you out Ramboing. But if you are the random hiker w/ plain clothing in the middle of nowhere, you might not get that 2nd look as often. 30 years of fucking around in forests, what do I know.
Its all about mis-direction...you know the Kansas city shuffle...

i think oregonism has a point tho ..if your in the woods with all camo and someone does spot you and your not hunting why are you in all camo....if you've got a hunting listens and are carrying a rifle or a bow or w/e then...the fuze would just be like o ok hes a hunter that makes sense and at most ask for your hunting license..
it's not like you need camo for fishing/hiking/brid watching ... although camo maybe stealthy it can also raise suspicion if you have no good reason for being in the middle of the woods....atleast to the fuze.
it's like putting a crack house in a wealthy community ...ppl/fuze are gonna catch on.
im not AGAINST camo tho. just have a good cover up.

Yes this thread is a joke. Pot growers, I find, tend to be egocentric. All this about only wearing camos during hunting season. What season? Bear? Coyote? Grouse? Quail? Rabbit? Where I live no matter what season there is always some animal you can shoot.
Besides we're not the only ones running around in the woods doing secretive bullshit. I've been traipsing through the woods for years, and all the people I've met on chance encounters never mentioned or thought what I was wearing to be suspicious. The best thing you should do is not act suspicious.
