Just got a shipment of ranger green concealed carry chest packs in, and can't help but be impressed with how well this color blends in a variety of environments: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hillpeoplegear.com/Portals/21/SmithCart/images/KitBag_Colors.jpg) You can have your foliage and coyote, make mine ranger green!

Yeah, i really do like the ranger green. I favor OD but the ranger will blend in more the farther i head east from the crest in WA. Ordered mine about a half hour ago, cant wait!

I've always liked ranger green but it's just not as available from some manufacturers. Had a TT pack that was my favorite nylon ever color wise. Are there "upgrade my color" trade ins Evan?

Smokepole, I'm tickled. Did that tall gangly kid demonstrate that you can shoot a bow just fine while wearing one? Something about a bear you saw this past elk season? :-)
You can buy them right off of the site using a card. although the transaction is handled by paypal, you don't have to have a paypal account to check out.

Thanks for the heads up. This is the first piece of gear I've gotten excited about in a long time. It will solve a number of problems for me, like forbid if I get separated from the dogsled. Butt packs don't cut it for running along.
I ordered one for myself and my son.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I've always liked Ranger Green to. Foliage can be too light especially in darker timer and OD depending on the dye can be too bright.

Range Green: almost as subtle as the advertising in this post!

We should add YCMV to the lexicon of internet acronyms. Just received a piece of Eagle gear in "Ranger Green". In late afternoon (indirect) sunlight and overhead incandescent it appears identical to my HPG "Foliage Green" gear. I'll be curious to see if there is much, if any, difference in direct sunlight. Obviously, HPG has truly different FG and RG fabrics in play but it's funny how things vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. I'm pretty sure RG has more of a slimming effect than FG or CB.  edit to add: The HPD FG is just bit grayer and lighter than the the Eagle RG. Have to look close to see.

Personally, I don't care what the deer sees, it's like ZZ Top said--"every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man."

Yeah, all the blaze orange requirements really mess up the well appointed hunter.
