Make smart choices. , If at night, black is not best as it can define your human shape more clearly.
Try dark navy blue or dark green.

Wear shoes with just one piece of rubber on the bottoms.
Try to avoid shoes with designs cut into the rubber on the bottom. , If in a forest setting, wear greens and browns.
If in an urban setting, wear clothes that don't stand out. , Know when to move and when not to.
If you've played "Call of Duty 4" think of the Chernobyl level, all hilled up. , Don't hurt someone, rob someplace or trespass on the property of others.
