    It's not just the color, but the sheen plays an important role in perception as well. I made an 11' hammock from Robic 1.2 with matching Bishop Bag, in foliage. I like it.

    You could DIY your own for 10 bucks. They also have a dyneema kit for 13. I'd substitute a plain zipper for the water proof one. I have the zpacks pockets on my arc haul and find the water proof...

    About Aug 3-4. Out and back heading up from Flagstaff Lake campsite. Goal is to hit Avery, West and the Horns. Obviously, I don't want to carry more than necessary.
