Re: [RC] surveyors tape/flagging - RDCARRIE

I posted yesterday about two good sources for cheap flagging (Forestry 
Suppliers and Ben Meadows) but my post somehow didn't show up.  These companies 
give 
a price break if you buy 12 or more rolls of a given color.  Regarding the 
"disappearing in the dark" problem - I work for the Forest Service, so use lots 
of colors.  In the fall we have to follow flagging in the dark to find certain 
trees out of which we need to trap certain woodpeckers (long story... <G>)  
You're right, some of the colors that are great during the day (hot pink, 
orange) aren't so great in the dark.  When marking a trail we'll need to follow 
after dark, we often use the striped flagging (marked with alternating diagonal 
stripes of white and some other color).  The white stripes really help.  This 
would eliminate the step of having to add a piece of white.
