Pink Tent And Sleeping Bag

I keep reading about hunters getting lost and dying. So when I go hunting I take GPS, maps, compasses, waterproof matches, tent, sleeping bag, water filter, food, warm clothing. Basically, I take all the stuff my dead father used for backpacking (except the GPS). I tie dozens of flurescent pink marker ribbon all the way from my car to my hunting spot. (Yes, I remove them when I leave, I am environmentally responsible.) To me, this is just common sense. I was raised in Los Angeles, not the backwoods. When I mention this to other people at the gun club, they roll their eyes or laugh themselves sick. Even my best friend, who is a Forest Ranger, and has to waste time finding stupid lost hunters, snorts when he sees my Dad's 30 year old Kelty Pack with all the stuff in it. I think I am showing good sense. Why do I catch a load of ridicule for this?

I didn't think of the directions in the car. Also I use pink because NO OTHER hunter picks it.
