Some can help fund others that can’t fund themselves. When it comes down to it, instead of buying one chest rig for $275, you buy four Condor or surplus rigs for less than $200. Instead of buying 1 Daniel Defense AR, you buy 5 PSA ARs. Instead of buying $600 comms kit, buy $100 worth of Baofengs, and upgraded antennas with PTTs. Lots of cheap contingency kits, caches, spread out because chances are in the most probable scenarios we face, you will have to ditch the kit to blend it and save your life to fight another day.

Not true. Research Neighborhood Watch coordination with law enforcement. Many departments will support & appreciate your efforts so long as you’re trained and participate in some sort of “civilian” augmentation capacity. A good start is getting involved in your community’s C.E.R.T. Program and get certified. If your community’s emergency services and law enforcement don’t support such, you have the capability to initiate such programs as afforded by law. You just have to conduct a smidgen of due-diligence .

One of the most sensible videos I’ve seen. About 8 + years ago I was introduced to you tube. I stumbled into Bushcraft videos which I really enjoyed because I grew up camping and hunting. Then stumbled into some prepper channels which I was first exposed to being prepared during the Cuban missile crisis. Then Y2K and started slowly increasing supplies and knowledge on potential possibilities. Now at 74, still needing to hone my skills more than ever, I can no longer run and gun, but am still at 50% of the two. As fitting in, in this area I feel a little left out without a tractor, a side by side, or a tractor. As for clothing, anything less than business casual is in style. Sometimes my situational awareness slips but quickly returns. Learning gardening and food preparation and continually trying to better home security.

hello from Spokane

Probably the best video. No bug out bug in tactical bs nothing. Just practical basics.

A lot of robbers will wear bright colored sports team gear, then ditch it and have darker tones underneath so they don't match the description.

I've been working on this concept I call, Clandestine Carry. There will be tasks that require a level of discretion and quick action, that requires groups to blend in. What you carry then I feel is more important than what you'd carry as a full-fledged minuteman. We get that you need a rifle, plate carriers, TQ, radio, etc. How many times are you going to be doing a full assault op though? A lot of what I carry and gear towards is this Clandestine Carry concept. I dress like a hipster cos I live in Chicago. When I go to the rural areas, I wear flannel and ball caps. When I lived in the desert I wore sun shirts and hiking pants. You have to adapt not just your kit but yourself to the area. In all those areas I had full medical, a handgun, and occasionally a rifle or shotgun in an atypical carrying case. If people really think they're going to do work in the end times, train to do it in gym shorts, and watch how well you can scale to do a real operation with battle rattle

One thing to keep in mind of is your bearing & the way you walk. You have no idea how many people ask if I’m a cop or retired military just because of the way I carry myself. Your clothes may not give you away, but your actions might.

Here in Texas it's tan/coyote work boots or some form of cowboy work boots like ariat or Justin. Faded worn blue jeans depending on age you can get away with overalls and not get noticed. Shirt range from tee shirts to button down depending on age. Flannel is never seen except by people not from here and you'll stick out like a sore thumb so avoid those here. Even black boots aren't very common. Go into any store that sells boots from a western outfitter to Walmart and look at all the work boots and coyote will dominate the shelves with just a few black or other colors. Hunting stores sell camo but those are usually more like snake or mud boots and only worn during deer season and you better be wearing full hunting camo otherwise you'll get odd looks. Hunting pattern shirts are common but not any form of military style camo again that'll get you noticed fast while a mossy oak camo shirt won't attract any attention no matter time of year.

I think you hit on something at the first of the video. I am a 52 year old dude who has had health issues (stage 3 cancer survivor among other things) and has no illusions about the physical shape I am in. I also live in rural East Tennessee and have never been in the military. If trouble came to my area I would certainly be willing to fight alongside my friends and neighbors but we would certainly be 'irregulars'. Further, why would I load up and leave my friends and family to go and fight for New York or California? Heck, I'm probably not even going to be all that motivated to go to the other end of the state and fight for Memphis. That is just the reality. Something else to consider is that we Americans often do, in daily life, identify with our state, region, etc. more than the country as a whole. Our Founders were the same way. They were often fighting for Virginia or Massachusetts, etc. The colonies may have been fighting for a common cause and there was the idea of 'join or die' but many were fighting for their homes, families, etc. Wheen you consider that the state of Texas is BIGGER than the country of Iraq (by quite a bit), the state of California is about the same size as Iraq and even my state of Tennessee is about 1/4 the size of the entire country of Iraq it begins to make sense that we, as irregulars, insurgents, etc. would identify with/fight for our area, state or maybe region of the country. As far as clothing, I am an office worker. I wear mostly Dockers (and similar) and polos to work. I don't wear jeans all that often even if I am not at work because I don't find them to be all that comfortable. I do wear cargo pants, sometimes but those are usually the Docker type, as well and that type of cargo pants/shorts isn't uncommon in my area. Flannel is pretty common here - probably because it is pretty inexpensive, comfortable and a flannel shirt or jacket over your regular clothes is often enough to keep you warm during the greatest part of our Winters. Carhartt, Dickies, etc. are common, as well.

Ahh, Common Sense is back in Fashion Again !! Love the vids.

Good informative video, I’m in Appalachia, hoodies are very commonplace where here. Open carry of guns and knife are common place, my preference is concealed. Also hunter camouflage is very popular among the population. Jeans and bibs are most common pants, shorts and t shirts in summer . Wearing a military field jacket or shirt is not uncommon. Because of the pockets I wear and old school OD green field jacket. Those were a big trend in the seventies.i guess 6 out of 10 people I see today will be wearing a hoodie, including myself . During the warmer months I wear a boonie hat and or a baseball type cap

A no frills older all white pickup truck with an equally old bed box , with a worn brown Carhartt coat , a STANLEY lunch box up front and a old scratched up white hardhat all on the seat will get you into most semi low security sites without anyone paying you any mind at all . As for where to stash a weapon, well that is what old hollow clip boards are , that have been lined with foam and have a cutout for a pistol and mags to not rattle around in . Don’t forget the yellow steno pad and a tiny little brass lock to slap in place , just so you don’t “accidentally spill any invoices out” ...😂 If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck then most likely it’s just a non-threatening duck !

It is also about how to move and how to behave, as well as of what and how to think. Because your thoughts also travel around, and as a gray man, you don't want to raise a bad feeling or suspicion. You want to not leave any impression, as you have never been there. Invisible, like the air.

That said a problem I am in noticing more is group organized crime aka circling pack hunters. They will take anything on. The mask mandate media and members of governance have a lot to answer for by normalizing masks. Masks are a tool for criminals. And mask don't stop the spread of disease, it is a psyop for weak mind comforting and the inculcation of submissive behavior.

This is my style. Thanks for the confirmation bias. I'll walk around this war like it's a Pearl Jam concert.

Well thought out video in which I mostly agree.

The answer is always “it depends.” I have regular clothes and I have other stuff. And bro, no rules during a civil fubar storm. Who knows what the rules of engagement will be.

Converse Chucks, I’ve been saying for years…The original urban assault shoe…😅 Grew up wearing them in the 70’s and 80’s. Truly a very good versatile shoe. And stylish…

I wore them through my teens and 20's, and it wasn't till my last pair that it occured to me to use insoles. Total gamechanger.

The Altama OTB shoes are really good. I wore them when I was roofing. They hold up great. They have good ankle support too. The upper part is much stiffer than Converse shoes. They don't breath well though. They would smell like dumpster juice after working in them all day.

@@michaelkraus4135 Vans Sk8 HI’s. You can get them in an MTE(?) version now with a reversed waffle sole, “comfy cush” insoles for more support and comfort, Gortex, Thinsulate, quick lacing…. Tons of options. It’s even an option in their Customizer now so you can build them however you want for a one-off pair.

As someone who works at the hospital.. concealing in scrubs is hard! 😅 I need to make a go bag for the trunk for a "Red Dawn" situation no matter how unlikely

Excellent insight!

All good info but I think you're 1% odds of something happening are far too low. Nonetheless, I hope you are right about that.

Nah dude. Bright yellow banana hammock and a huge sombrero. Go all the way😂😂😂

The only thing I'm tied down to is my Rottie/Akita and Bull Mastiff/black Lab mix beasts. No family in sight. 42. A bunch of cheap gear that works. Nice video and ideas.

Best all around boots I’ve found are red wings tradesman. Steel toe electrical isolated (if needed) comes in black and brown leather. I’ve worked in them and hiked in with them besides Merrill Moab’s those are my #1 boot

A cheap gun can defend you as good as an expensive one. I would rather lose a 300 gun over a 700 dollar one

@@ShowMeeYourFeet oh I know. There is a huge difference between Poverty Pony Anderson and Daniel Defense. I build my own stuff and can get the price point to where I am not dropping 2k for a 2k quality rifle.

In an urban setting, the local thrift stores are your friend.

Great points made.

Good stuff, appreciate it!

Another fantastic video and one that mentioned a couple of things I didnt think about. Disposable gear was something that never really crossed my mind that much but makes a hell of a lot of sense when trying to fly under the radar. Your right about Americans outside CONUS, they are a walking billboard, lol!

I love the Sams club/ Wal mart pants, lined wranglers. Or weatherpoof cargos.
