One thing people forget about "Grey Man," is the idea is to blend into the local population, which means if your in a liberal area, you need to look like a liberal, if your in a rugged conservative area, you need to look like a rugged conservative, you need to blend in. Its nice lots of companies make "low-vis" kit but most of it still looks fairly tactical.

I've just in the last few months come to realize that most people, and by most I mean probably 80-85% of people really don't pay any attention to anyone or anything around them. It's just always come so naturally to me that I just assumed everyone was like me. But it's really true most people don't know anything is out of place until it's happening. And I've noticed that a lot of people don't really think that violence is real. They seem to think it's something that happens in movies or in New York City or something. I've seen where people are obviously about to get down and other people are milling around or even standing there running their mouth at the person who's obviously about to do something wild. Because they've just never been exposed to it in real life. And they're always in total disbelief when it happens. However, I'd say it's very difficult unless you've been taught, (and I haven't) to know who the people who *ARE* paying attention are.

As an old fud, I never thought of that. Good idea.

Exactly a year ago I was attacked as a security guard on patrol. The fight got pretty intense where six cops were needed to break it up. Bad guy got arrested and I went to the hospital covered in blood. Turned out all the blood was his. I was 66 years old and a retired LEO/Soldier. I held my own due to training and attitude. I'm also 90% disabled. At 6'4" 300+ pounds I'm a tad bit heavy. In my prime I fought at 250 pounds. I would say getting to the gym and doing some running is very important. BUT even more important is your don't quit attitude. I decided as a rookie cop in 1979 that I was not ever going to lose a fight. Especially for my life. Just cause your old and a broke dick doesn't mean you have to be on the losing side.

Funny story about hand held lights and needing them separately from your weapon light. I work with a SWAT team and we have our own rudimentary ambulance and when one of the officers tried to drive it to a scene one night he didn't know how to turn on the lights and sirens and couldn't see what buttons turned it all on. Sooo he was driving about 80mph and had his weapon light out looking at the dash trying to get the ambulance lights and sirens working.

Been carrying for a long time…every day. I use the same aliengear IWB holster for the same reasons you mentioned. I carry a spare mag in a sticky sleeve in my weak side back pocket. Very easy to get to and protected from pocket ick. My flash is a fenix single AA model (forgot the number). On high, it provides a lot of light. Being an old guy, a handheld light is very useful. There’s also a good quality folder. I alternate between a ruger LC9 and an sig 365 in addition to a prestaged TQ. I keep a small blowout kit in a cargo pocket (includes the TQ). I sometimes wear a fanny pack sized for mostly just the blowout kit. I don’t mind being that “old guy with a fanny pack…. Nobody pays attention

Learn a lot from these. Appreciate the videos.

Recently added an item to my EDC that not many are looking at and are worth the thought, lock picks. A set of picks are cheap, easy to carry, and if you need them can be worth their weight in gold. Buy a set, practice, and you will see that you can become very proficient at things like raking locks open with only a few hours of practice. In an environment where civil protests or mass attacks are becoming more frequent, the idea of being able to open a lock that you can re-secure behind you becomes a pretty interesting concept.

​@@deadbrocks Absolutely. Local laws are really where it comes into play. Some states and local laws have no issue with picks unless using them in a crime, much like bolt cutters or wrecking bar. However other states or counties just the possession could be "possession of an instrument of crime" or some wording like that. I typically don't EDC picks, but do have a 4 way key for water sources and box access being an urban environment. This gives me water in a 9/11 level event or other large scale attack without needing much else to get water access if vehicle egress is unlikely and I'm on foot. Nalgene bottles, small low profile backpack with these items is my go to. I do have some tools like Firefighting tools of Babylon shove knive and door plastic. This will open most anything I need to access. Most cheap padlocks are easily defeated without picks, most doors can be bypassed with basic tools on your person that are multi use (unless deadbolted but rarely have I gone through a scenario of needing to bypass/pick a deadbolt.) Bumping and bumpkey/w bump rings on your keys might be a lower profile option for EDC. Same with mini combs or jigglers.. just some things off the top of my head for adding to my own EDC since you made me think about more shit to carry 😂

​@@donjohn1620This is true. I do know someone who going into a theater/venue/comedy club depending on the day with security who were off duty LE get questioned about a Bogota Ti 2 pc set he would EDC. Basically accused of trying to break into shit at the venue or other criminal activity prior or after the event. Dude knew the laws and was basically fighting to not have them confiscated. Finally local PD did confirm that unless he was using them illegally, he wasn't breaking the law. I know plenty of people stateside and overseas who carried those exact picks and no one ever knew what they were. I don't typically carry my picks, I do occasionally driving for training work, if I'm going to be sitting in a hotel between days I'll pick some padlocks, random locks I have laying around. Test some bypass prevention methods where I'm staying. That's all stuff packed in a box and not on body. I EDC in my backpack a small 4 way water key and locks for water access points. This has helped at classes where water is locked, also on worst-case scenario in a large scale event I can access a water panel on a building for drinkable water if I need to hoof it like we saw in 9/11. I've considered a pick and comb card that is a small card. Keep one broken apart to practice with and one to carry. I have one I've been meaning to try that was gifted to me. I agree 99% of people will have no idea what they're looking at on many tools. If you have them in a soft case you can put some random company for electronics repair or something on it. Any diversion is a good idea for most gear when possible. I've seen camera stickers or golf stickers on larger Pelican cases. Still high value which is not ideal but immediately getting off a plane you aren't advertising you have multiples guns to everyone.

Great breakdown on gear and why. A few things I've tested and beat on. Some things recommend to me from guys like Joe from Gray Fighter. (Great Dude) and other guys I've worked with who abuse gear. I typically have cargo shorts or pants on. Not uncommon for my area and doesn't stand out. Summer is camo cargo shorts for nearly everyone in my area. It's the Philly Wally World Special. 😂 For on body medical I've EDC'd a SOF-T in a Phlster Flatpack TQ carrier on my belt. I've worn this specific one for 4-5 years+ daily and probably 1000 hours in scenarios for TacMed training with a training TQ in it for students to apply. I swear by these. I have 4 others now. One soft looped for pocket carry in a suit or belt line print is more visible. Others with molle locks for classes or my own plate carrier. This carrier and TQ combo is my go to no matter what I'm wearing or doing. I perfer this TQ over the CAT for self and buddy aid. Also for a leg wound, having a clip is a HUGE benefit to unclip and clip, pull slack and turn. Immediately ready vs trying to lift a wounded limb which doesnt always work In my experience. Clip and being staged correctly allows rapid use and work around limbs faster than a CAT. I keep CATs for others where 2 hands are typically available. I train on both and earlier models but that's what works for concealment at on body. For additional medical i pocket carry either the Phlster PEW (Pocket Emergency Wallet) or Tactical Outdoors low profile FAK In a pocket. Vacuum sealed is a stripped down of packaging Z fold gauze, packaged Celox and Celox rapid ribbon, Sentinel Chest seals and 2 pairs of gloves. The Sentinel chest seals are the smallest, and most easy to carry compared to even Hyfin Compact. I carry 2 in the space of 1 hyfin. I occasionally throw a Cleer compact pressure dressing in my pocket or an ETD but both are bulkier than i like for on body. They have a place but Celox, Gauze and TQ are primary. The vacuum sealed stuff is stagged to tear open easily and reduce footprint. You're immediately getting antibiotics in the ED so opening and vac sealing seems to be better than not carrying it because of space. I do add more depending on where I'm going and the 2nd Flatpack is great for this for a pocket while remaining deployable 1 handed. Shockcord on these can be under high stress can be broken, but I've never broken it in heavy daily use, only in a real world threat and it was pulled off with a purpose. I know these were designed with plain clothes in mind to still have some medical on your person. I believe Gray Fighter makes something for TQs also. I haven't tried it yet. He makes some killer products for all kinds of covert gear carry. For things like running into a situation *not recommend* or other scenarios where you don't want to get identified as the threat. For off duty LEO, EMS with Tacmed/Active threat training who happen to be in a situation. Gray Fighter makes the roll up ID panels for Police, Medic and Sheriff's with front and back panels, with reflective lettering. This is for plain clothes and off duty. I believe VisiBlue is talking about making some Hi Viz stuff for EMS in the future, not just police. These are an option for EMS who carry and are already in the situation, don't have family with them and could possibly help. The Gray Fighter panel's are great because they're where panels would be on plates when worn and immediately where your eyes would track to firing a center mass shot, so ID'd before getting shot with those. All about the edge, pokie stabby things. G10 and steel is basically 7 days a week for me. It's 0400 and I'm working in knives while listening and watching this. Great video while hand finishing new G10 stuff

I didn’t know you were in LA?! I’m in the Shreveport area. Do you guys know off the top of your head of any upcoming classes in the Shreveport/Texarkana area? (I’m going to check your site now, I’m not lazy lol)

That alien gear hybrid holster is excellent. Because it does disappear so well, I've found reholstering a little slower and difficult. For EDC that's irrelevant. But for something like IDPA or dry fire reps, not so good.

Regarding FOS medical: if you have a belt, you have a tourniquet. If you have a shirt, you have bandages. If you have a sharp knife, you have shears and a scalpel. If you have training and practice regularly, you can keep the bleeding slowed. First On Scene kits I see for sale tend to be specialized instead of swiss army knives. You don't need aspirin, blood glucose monitors and a blood pressure cuff to keep someone from bleeding out. And it's not your job to stabilize a room full of patients like a doctor in a triage ward. You keep them alive long enough for properly equipped EMTs to arrive, tell them what you did, what you know about the injuries and get out of the way. Might even get your belt back. However I agree. #makefannypackscoolagain

What is your EDC knife and why? I like a good quality karambit with a E. wave (3"'). In some states like N.Y. anything but a fixed knife less than 4"s is illegal. With the way things are going "pat downs" will become more common.

You can use a belly band for the medical equipment. A plain blazer if that's what others are wearing works well enough. The point about friendly shooting is valid. If you draw your weapon put it away asap. In New York City or San Francisco you leave anything in your vehicle and that includes your insurance and passenger registration it will get broken into and taken. I've seen two dollars in coin taken after they broke out a $300.00 window. I personally don't run a suppressor because I want as much shock as possible. Besides if I'm using a rifle then the philistines are in the wire and no one will care if I have one.

Solid content. I agree to "make it make sense"

Definitely different things work for different people. I can’t carry on my side. Jabs into me and is just awkward. Just isn’t comfortable with my body shape (only a 30” waste.) but in apendix it sits “in my lap” and the muzzle (g19) sits just above..the goods. So when I bend or sit it doesn’t jab into me down there. Medium shirts a little tight. L shirts fit a little better while carry but doesn’t look ridiculous. Can draw in places where getting to your side is just more difficult to do. Possible just harder. Works for me.

Tier one has the MSPRO series of holsters and mag caddies, developed in conjunction with Modern Samurai. The mag caddies will angle sideways some I put a 24 round in it and it settles nicely pretty close to the belt line. Makes it much easier to conceal.

Great video to watch while i modify my holster

I dont think it will go with your style, but have you looked into the rucksack plate carriers to eliminate that rear print.

I don't think a rucksack is low visibility

I found that Blackhawk! (yeah them) has a slick carrier that works well for low vis and I think I picked up a few for $35 bucks. Good stitching, bartack stitching. My old Beez Combat Systems slick PC did the job back in the day and it's still 110% serviceable and coyote tan back when coyote tan was a color, which I don't care about because it was worn under a loose-fitting button-down or polo shirt . If I need mags, I use a bank robber chest rig, 5 x M4 mags (IIRC), and a super slimmed-down gsw kit.

Thank You the informative video!! 💪🇺🇸

Good vid, good info!

“Lots of Jordan’s went missing “lol😂😂 homie great info and context

I am in Philadelphia and I find that a lot of people, "normal" students homeless whatever carry back packs and so they are just so common that carrying even a military style does jump out. Many people are pushing shopping carts and I like that. Layers of clothes are common and I do not care for "gray man" either. The idea of it is, I am not a threat and I am not worth a second look. I think that if things go really bad it will not matter though because the real bandits will act like sifts and want to check all bags for anything of value. I subscribe to dirt ball. Looking really dirty and then a lot of people do not even feel it is worth it to make any contact due to disease is also good. Nice neat and clean is viewed as someone who might have something. Hobo, bum, scrapper, dirt ball thumbs up.

I’m digging the jacket. Did you say which one that is?

It’s from Abercrombie and Fitch 😂

Minneapolis 2020 was wild, so happy i left that state.

I really don't have any issues with carrying appendix, its way more comfortable with a tier 1 concealed "sidecar" holster, way more stable, and its the only way i can carry in a tshirt without printing

"Many Jordans went missing" is the funniest thing I've heard in a while

I truly emjoyed your facetiousness.

Man just dropped a “Snatch” reference. Heck yea

Great video thanks

Having live at a street level, if I saw anyone walking down the street with a fat duffle bag, that alone would Garner my attention wherever you are.

Why would an American-Liberal company not suckle form the Military Industrial Complex's teat? Imperialism is the one thing American "Conservatives" and Liberals will never differ on.

I don’t remember why I started off appendix carrying before trying anything else, I think it was the quickest draw for me, but I’ve never carried any other way. I’ve tried the other ways and just could not do it. I felt awkward, and I don’t like how I have to use the same hand that I draw with to first pull up the shirt, I feel like I draw much quicker appendix. I never had to change the size of my shirts or pants or belt. It’s so comfortable for me that I don’t even think about it, or I’m so used to it, it doesn’t matter. And it doesn’t interfere with my junk because it’s offset in the groin, not flattening my dick. And I have a spare mag on the exact opposite groin. Body types really do seem to matter with comfortability, and I’m not talking fat and skinny. There are obviously slight differences in everyone’s body in one way or another.

would love to see more room clearing videos or taking angles of exposure

That’s about 90% of our existing content dude.

The irony is that I got a video ad for vortex before the video where the guy is wearing crye pants tucked into combat boots with a flannel. Exact opposite of this video 😂

This is America there is camouflage all over in are society among civilians. From Gucci camouflage to hunting camouflage and military surpluss from sneakers to backpack to hats. Like the presentation says no one is really looking.

What formed leather holster do you use? Is it also light capable?

Great Video ! Thanks for very little commercials!! Great Stuff

As a "grey man" at 4 continents I'd just advise to do your homework, do your IPB, and adjust to the locals. In other words, don't dress Kabul while being in Akron, Ohio. Sometimes all your stash can expose you rather than save you. Being low visibility in a reconnaissance op can be the thin line between life and death, stashing up like Rambo can get you nowhere except in a local jail...

One thing that I,ve noticed on videos is when loading a magazine, most dont remind people is not to push on the bullet itself .its easy to do and not notice that . But a few thousands of an inch can increase chamber pressures to an unsafe levels. I,m guilty of doing this and luckily I ended up with a plus p round with no damage to my pistol but enough to remind myself to watch where my thumb is when loading a magazine.

It’s refreshing to hear such a prominent voice in this arena speak honestly about appendix carry, and so gracefully. Most of us are in and out of cars all day, and sitting down in various other situations throughout the day. That alone has always had me scratching my head as to why it’s so popular to push appendix carry(I guess people are worried about printing?), and why the spergs adopted it as strict dogma. I’m a taller thinner guy myself and it’s still shitty, especially in a car with your seatbelt fastened. It IS uncomfortable, and it IS inconvenient for the most part when it comes to drawing from there. I maintain roughly the same speed from my IWB at 3/4 o clock as I do with my “duty rig”, for what it’s worth from an internet stranger… and it’s not pointed at my “member” nor my femoral artery all day(not that I really worry about random NDs, but if we’re all honest, it can’t help but there in the back of our heads). I maintain my peace of mind and don’t worry about printing a full sized duty gun on my hip. 🫡 Thanks for the content.

have you ever tried holsterama? i discovered them 15 years ago and switched to it for my ccw. i like their iwb/out ambi one thats like 25 bucks. wont work with a light but awesome for p220 and g19. you should try one. the price is right

The best gun to carry is the one you train with and are most proficient with and make sure to train with your concealed holster, drawing the firearm is just as important in the moment, I have luckily never been in a situation where I needed to draw my gun but I do know how important the muscle memory will be if the day comes.

Us "old heads" didn't used to have weapon mounted lights. Didn't used to have rails on handguns. I guess I am really getting old.

49:56 best advice ever given in under 10 seconds

Gucci gear rules. Mainly 5.11 tactical pants and now that they have different styles. It’s hard to tell that they are tactical. When it comes to foot wear. Original Swat . Makes a good tactical tennis shoe. Two main styles, a low cut and an 8 inch zip.

5 points for the Marty Robbins reference

Finally someone acknowledged the downsides of AIWB. 🙌

Appendix became much more comfortable when l lost weight and tightened up my body at the gym. 250 and powerlifter to 160 and cut, 6'0. I hated appendix before but did it anyway. To each their own and I agree with the consistency and comfort being a huge factor especially when you want to be consistent about carrying everywhere.

Jeans, vans, a black&white graphic tee, a watch, and an appendix carry weapon. I dress like anyone else because I am anyone else. Pockets: flashlight, knife, tiny pliers, extra g43 9 rd mag. Amazon backpack: TQ, gear pouch with odds and ends, battery pack, dude wipes, wera tool check plus, home made first aid kit/meds. Maybe a gaming laptop with controllers/headset

Wonder if all them Jordan’s were ever found lmao. Great video

Where can you confidently buy a concealable level4 plate (actually a pair of them) for less than mortgage money? And huge backface deformation??

What suppressor do you have on your rifle?

As a 6’7 220 lb lefty with “love handles” I also side or kidney carry. If I’m not comfortable, I’m not carrying.

I kept thinking that Max Miller from tasting history must be using the T gel

would you attempt to conceal the waist pack with the shirt or wear it over the shirt.

Thank you.

One thing I tell everybody who wants to “fix holes” or dive in and be the medical first responder, Is that you risk being injured very very badly or killed by responding cops. This happens disturbingly often. Cop will go charging onto a situation typically with the blinders on and to them everyone in the AO is the enemy, everyone is a threat, everyone is to be taken down. Quite frankly, I stop and assess a traumatic situation before I even consider getting involved. If there’s time for me to get on with 911 and clearly explain that a person with my description is the first responder, and not a part of the problem, I will, but it’s very rare you’re gonna get this. When you decide to engage as a first responder in a situation, you do so at your own risk.
