For all its advantages, keep in mind that polyester clothing is not fire-resistant. If you're trying to escape from a burning building, for example, intense flames could melt the clothing to your skin. Also, designer labels/styles could make you a greater target for scavengers.

I agree. So does Lieutenant Dan: "There is one item of G.I. gear that can be the difference between a live grunt and a dead grunt. Socks, cushion, sole, O.D. green. Try and keep your feet dry when we're out humpin'. I want you boys to remember to change your socks wherever we stop."

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

In Seattle the best "gray man" bugout thing to do or wear is bike attire. People think nothing of seeing a guy/gal in bike attire with helmet and a backpack. Get a bike and ride out while everyone else is stuck in gridlock traffic. I mean face it, I'd rather ride 15 miles to the suburbs than walk if I have the option.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

That's a good idea!

I try to avoid sythetic clothing if and where possible, especially in built up areas as they are so damn flammable, If bugging out a burning building or a city in a riot scenario the risk of severe injury from burn injuries in greatly increased. my base layer is normally cotton.

[@panpiper]

I experienced a bug out situation once, in which I had to evacuate my home in the middle of the night. There had been a gas main rupture just a few doors down from me and a huge jet of flame was literally shooting a hundred feet into the air. It was so close, it filled my sky. Problem is I sleep in the nude. I didn't have time to put on clothes! I would recommend that one's bug out clothing be kept not on hangars, but in a shoulder bag right beside your bug out bag. In an emergency such as I experienced where you don't even have time to dress, you simply use both hands to grab both bags and you are gone. The second bag you can discard after you have emptied it of it's contents by dressing yourself.

[@OhPervyOne]

Thank you for this. As a nudist, this advice may come in handy for me as well. Actually it's always good to have extra bags available for gathering whatever may be useful. If you have to have a campfire to keep warm, that bag can be used for gathering tinder materials. What I would suggest is maybe get some of those collapsible backpacks, like you see at trade shows, etc. Plain, light-weight cloth bag with small rope shoulder-straps. It folds up like a hanky and tucks into its own zipper pouch. You could empty out the clothes (put them on, apologize to the neighbors), fold it up and tuck it into your bugout bag. Lightweight and compact means you never have to discard a perfectly useful bag. Indeed, I advocate keeping 4 or 5 of these in your BOB & GHB, just for the purpose of having packs available for whatever you might need a bag for. I always keep a pair of comfortable light-weight string-tie athletic shorts by the front door, for going out to get the mail and other such out-doors chores. That would be part of my first-grab on the way out the door. I jump into my shorts first and worry about getting fully dressed later. Isn't it funny how everyone's worried about being seen naked in public... until there's a fire and suddenly we discover which of our "priorities" really are the most important. LOL

[@djzrobzombie2813]

And a beer to blend in

[@Saiarts_yt]

for the grey man outfits and recommendation. I like going out with my casual clothing. The area I go in will dictate how I fit in. The suburban area I might wear brown leather jacket and a jeans with white t-shirt. The urban area neither downtown or uptown area, I would usually wear blazer for professional setting and thin/thick hoodie for informal setting. My everyday carry will also adapt depending on my area as well. From transitioning to backpack to packable travel bag, g-shock to panerai, and grey shoes into brown shoes, from dark pants and light shirt to switching the opposite way. Just alternating what I look can help blend in easily as well. Also by looking natural to that environment is important thing to urban survival as well (sources from, blackscoutsurvival Considerng the fact you are blending in to the environment, in one of the podcast I have listened to from Mind4Survival. They key skills for preppers basics are situational awareness, leadership, camouflage, and likability. But then you should take the advantage of teachning your kids and their friends about stealth. Using the hide and seek game with team cooperated usually in 3-4 kids in each team. If there is more than a one kid to play like 5 or 7 kids, try having them to be the observers, see from the game what they can learn. Make it fun for kids to let them have your un-used phone. By allowing them to use the parent no-use phones, they can at least improvise or use it for something good. Also they at least need to learn something while having a party right? I would also recommend for the high school or college students if you are planning to be prepared is to go to your local outdoorshop and see what workshops and classes they offer. In addition to that try outdoor activity focused primarly on the following subjects like fishing, hunting, orienteering, wildlife photography, etc. Using your senses and mapping them to your advantage is the must if you want to be a sniper or scout for that reason.

[@MariusHofert]

As base layer shirt, one can also go with Merino... for example, Icebreaker shirts, they are excellent. I use them in Canadian winters and hot/humid summers, they cover the full range.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

True. I used to have a Smartwool for my base layer T-Shirt. The price tag hurt ($80) and it eventually shrunk, so I went with a cheaper option.

[@sylla2]

I love Merino. However, I have decided to always choose manmade materials whenever possible. The reason is that moth and wool is a very bad combination. I got tired of sharing my stuff with those greedy little bugers :-(

[@dutchcourage7312]

lastly, not everybody 'plays well' with wool, now i personally haven't tried Merino and i certainly intend to, but i fear my overly sensitive skin to particularly wool may drive me back to synthetics in a hartbeat (and a lot of scratching). But if you are not, then all the power to you… Wool would still be my choice for a softshell though, the fire retardant properties as well as insulative properties (even when wet) and breathing, make it almost invaluable (like the Netherlands are comparable with Seattle as far as climate and temperature goes, and being more rural something warm at night in all season is a welcome option, just not on my skin!)

[@constitutionalrepublic1966]

Dutch Courage Amazon sells wool merino socks. Look for a high % of wool in them. I wear mine in my Xpeti -30 degree waterproof all terrain boots. The tongue of the boots are sealed to the side of the boots so water can’t get in.

[@DeirdreCeridwen]

Dunno if you read comments on older videos, but I wanted to say... it's been 1 year since I discovered and started watching your videos and taking your advice, and I've finally recently completed my clothing loadout and modules, and just went out and did some urban hiking and outdoorsy stuff in clothes that's ALMOST all your suggestions... and I have to say, I have never felt as comfortable and well-prepared for all weather and activity as I do now!! (Some differences, I already had a high-quality leather belt, I went with a different sock liner brand, and the Kuhl "Silencr" slack now are pretty different from what you show but I went with them anyway...otherwise, from the Peoples socks to the Buff, I went with all your suggestions, and I am SO glad I did! I'm a poor person, so it took a year to do it, but I believe this is a situation of where you get what you pay for, and I want quality instead of inexpensive and not work. I have to tell you, I've never bought shoes online and was scared to death to spend that kind of money foot-unfelt, but these Salomon X Ultra 3 LTR GTX Hiking Shoes really are amazing! And I don't mind sounding like a commercial for them. (I'm someone who has ALWAYS balked at spending more than $20 on a pair of shoes.) Granted, the durability of all the clothes have yet to be seen, but if they all last me several year... very worth it! I am absolutely certain should I need to hike across town, or to the next town, camp in these clothes, or even just go out and look unremarkable, I'm covered! And comfy! Thank you SO MUCH for your videos!!!! Fan for life! (Although I still think worry over EM/radio waves is bunk ;) )

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

[@DeputatKaktus]

Great video, good tips there as well as awesome reviews. One factor tends to get overlooked by many, however: if there is a big delta between the clothes you wear normally and those in your bugout/get home/shtf/whatever bag: do try to wear those at least a couple of hours or days before adding them to your pack. Get used to them. You need to feel comfortable in these clothes first of all. If you don’t feel comfortable, it will show. You should never feel like you are wearing a costume. Also, and this cannot be stressed enough: find a brand of T-Shirt/pants/shoes/raincoat etc that YOU find comfortable. Do not buy stuff based on the fact that it worked wonders for some dude on the web (no offense meant!). For instance, I was shopping around for new shirts a while ago. Turns out, Nike makes some really neat looking shirts. The size was right, the price was reasonable, I liked the color - it ticked all the boxes. I was almost sold but then I tried it on. And immediately took it off again. It was too narrow under the arms and the shoulders didn’t quite feel right. Nope, sorry. It just wasn’t right for me. In the end, Under Armor was my brand of Choice. Looking into some merino wool t shirts right now, but HOLY frickballs, those are expensive. Anyhow, that’s my 2 cents worth. Take care and be safe 👋🏻😁

[@dutchcourage7312]

I find this one of the hardest categories when it comes to 'bugging out', and part of this is due to a lot of it also depending on your plan and the actual emergency situation, as well as the actual meaning of 'grey man'. So 'grey man' first, what constitutes as 'grey man' depends a lot of what everybody else is wearing, to example this say wearing your outfit during a military parade or say during a transparade (both not actual emergency situations, but both do demonstrate the concept in regards to being a 'grey man' in the crowd), you'd be sticking out like a sore thumb in your chosen attire. At which point i think your plan also has to be included, along side one's environment. Are you planning to stick to the city for the duration of the emergency? or where will you be going? And what sort of emergencies do you plan to bug out for (do those involve chance of fires, or is rain a big issue), do you try to go with a car at first and ditch it in grid lock (in which case you will likely be moving along with 'the herd' for quite some time ~ in which case you will just want to look as everyday as possible). And i sort of know what these are for you (to some extend) so i can understand your choices to some extend (like i don't like the polyester when it comes to possible fires when Rainer might go off ~ but then again wool can be incredible uncomfortable and when it comes to rain combined with ash clouds then having a good rain jacket (which will be inherently plastic) will be a grace). So, i get your clothing, and i think for your particular location and climate, as well as bugout scenario and plan, you picked a reasonable set of clothing due to the weigh off of factors and situations you plan to bug out in (maybe a bit to 'grey' for a family type bugout ~ like why not dress like a family on vacation struck by disaster at their time of leisure, would explain some of the bags and such ~ and that too is 'grey man' in regards to it's meaning for preppers, aka. do not stick out like a prepper in an environment of needing unprepared people!). So perhaps this series needs a 3rd episode, with some deeper thoughts behind what clothing does, and what it can do for you, what types of fabric are suitable for which situations, as well as how the 'Grey Man' philosophy interweaves with one's bugout plan and expected scenarios. Because as my opening here states, it's a difficult topic, and it's not just the climatic environment that weighs in.

man I'm don't mean to be the "smarty pants" but I'm digging in SHTF clothing for a while now and the items you propose may give you a hard time if... so from what I understand from hunters, hikers and a guy that jumped into the lake at 5°C in clothes is that a WOOL clothing is the one to go + some rain/wind resistant jackets or poncho or something like that as a shell if needed, a waxed cotton jackets do well. Yeah. Wool is pretty much better at everything. It's warmer, it keeps your body warmth even if completly wet in winter, it last for long, its quiet for hunters, its not stinking even if wearing for months). There's many types of wools as just a regular wool (like Filson stuff, very outside, hardwork), Merino wool (let's say modified regular, better to skin, great base layers, tshirts, shirts) and alpaca wool (more elastic, even warmer, tougher, better for socks and gloves). Downside is that it can get pricey. But I definitely recommend checking it out! and.. what's up with that Sun protection?

[@mikehart5619]

Excellent video. Great look. While you probably don't want to look like a homeless person when you bug out. Well maybe you do and you could specifically go for that.

[@mudman6156]

Forget all that. I’m going to be wearing BDU’s. They’re extremely tough, durable, and practically indestructible. Along with that I’ll be taking along a wetsuit. A decent wetsuit will keep you warm and dry on in the worst weather, and if you find yourself in a flood, the water that seeps in is quickly warmed up by your body. I noticed that you’re wearing tennis shoes. I’ll be wearing waterproof combat boots. They provide ankle support that’s second to none. Nothing like trying to bug out when you’ve injured your ankle. My goal isn’t to blend into a building. It’s to wear the most durable clothing available and keeping myself warm under the most extreme circumstances. I will be carrying a few weapons for my own safety from over aggressive thieves that I would fully expect to come across. So I’ll be carrying any excess equipment in a military style backpack. Attached to myself will be a couple of canteens, a drop holster, and my gas mask. Additionally, I’ll be wearing a tactical helmet with several lights, a GoPro camera, and noise suppressing headphones with a UHF/VHF communications radio system installed. All that equipment would be for a buyout due to the breakdown of government and society itself. Otherwise, I’m staying put.

Shirts I to like a good button up shirt to wear but suggest a grey plaid because I have seen that cause a person to be less visible standing in the open at 50 yards because it broke up his silhouette. In wet areas the habitat fishing shirts are nice but to me a little to hot. For pant I like 6 pocket cargos in my desert tan or grey the store discount store brands are cheap enough to change out regularly to avoid failure point no need to bug out with you ass cheek showing. And the cotton is fairly quite. I have these in real tree hunting pants but these are for hard core E&E. For a belt I use a nylon web strap with faster buckles no metal so I don’t need to remove my belt for metal detectors. My rain jacket is a Columbia in tan and black. My cap is an “Allegiance” sweat proof cap in dark grey.

One important thing you forgot to talk about, is the underpants. Really essential, though, when you have to walk all day long to escape from other people, or find food and water to make you and yours survive. No ?

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

That's going to be covered in Part 2, which is set to air this Saturday morning.

All I need in the area I live in is a t-shirt and jeans and I'm practically invisible.😆

[@995cool]

blending in does not mean camo

[@Tourn86]

Is this for Bob 3.0

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Yes it is.

[@Tourn86]

@@TheUrbanPrepper thank you now I can put it in the proper pdf folder lol

[@ufmam6254]

You been taking some modeling classes cliff?

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Haha! No. Maybe I'm a natural talent? :)

[@MADMAX839]

Blending in with concrete makes no sense at all, IF most of your fellow citizens are wearing tye dye shirts and sandals. Or, if you prefer, if most everyone is wearing a sweatsuit. If you’re wearing a gray outfit (describe it however you’d like) and most anyone else in your area is not, YOU stick out. THE GRAY MAN concept in a couple words: WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMANS DO.

[@Hostile-Hondo]

The gray man concept should be always practiced even if you're in a rural area just because you live in a farm ville today doesn't mean that in 10-15 years it'll still be trees in other words when people stop moving to the city they'll move the city to the people and you never know when shit will hit the fan could be tomorrow when your area is woods could be 15 years from now when they made the forest you live in into a giant ass truck stop lol

Blacked out ninja mode looks the coolest but is not practical

[@ohcrap3263]

I’m impressed with your intelligent presentation, sadly it will go over many people’s heads. ( they will focus on the Antartica reference)

Hat is too Unique

Your pronunciation is slower than in your videos from a year ago. Very good improvement!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I've been working on it. Thanks!

Remove the labels, mask them off and spray paint them matte, black

[@cdlady54_95]

Great video. Can we get a woman's model and see what her attire would be. I am sure its the same, but in woman's fit. Thanks.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I can look into it. I'll need to call in a pinch hitter.

[@pamcoley5056]

so I live in Hawaii so flowers, and ocean colors

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Exactly! :)

Hanks belts

[@DanDannyDanielleBob]

Trade out that synthetic t for a marino travel t. Synthetic is less durable, less thermoefficient, is worse in fire or rain but most importantly it will accumulate b.o. faster than wool

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I was using a Smartwool T-shirt. Maybe I should go back to it?
