Do any of you who use ground blinds in firearms season put hunter's orange somewhere near the blind as a safety precaution?

I plan on using one of the "pop-up" type blinds a little this hunting season.  
I will be putting some remnants of an old "blaze-orange" hunting shirt on some of the brush and trees real close to the blind!

I suggest making them stationary so that they do not flap in the wind!  This way they should be undetectable to game, but very visible to other hunters!

I wrap an 8" wide piece of orange flagging aroung a tree, at about 6' high right next to my blind.  I feel safer that way, especially hunting on state land.
