You're watching a new eppy on What Not to Wear survival edition and this time it's focused on a prepper's clothing.
The prepper who is being judged is far from passing the test because he made a big mistake by not wearing the proper clothing.
If you were the survivalist on the show, would you pass the test?
It's likely that when the grid goes down, preppers will be thrown back into the Stone Age. Even though it's likely that most preppers will disappear into the woods where they'll spend most of their time in their bug out shelter, eventually they will have to leave. Why is that? They'll need to get more food, trade, and perform other tasks.
When a prepper ventures out into the woods when things have settled down a bit after SHTF, it's likely he will come across threatening people. During that time the last thing a survivalist needs is to wear clothing that'll make him stand out. Camouflaged clothing is best so he can remain stealth.
What a prepper should never wear is full tactical gear such as camo pants, a shirt, and a ton of weapons.
If he goes out like this, he's looking to get shot.
After the break discover what clothing a prepper should be wearing post-collapse as opposed to full blown tactical gear. It's best to wear clothing like this to stay safe from potentially being seriously hurt!

Wearing a reputable flag may also help you in the situations you have gotten yourselves into. http://www.forbes.com/sites/karstenstrauss/2016/06/24/the-worlds-most-reputable-countries-2016-u-s-a-ranks-28th/#1e4870c78145
Gray man tactic
simple Grey-man tactics.. leave the Camo for the woods & wear Scuffed up denim for the urban areas…
“During that time the last thing a survivalist needs is to wear clothing that’ll make him stand out. Camouflaged clothing is best so he can remain stealth” – Bull! Wear everyday type of clothing. Blacks/grays if in an urban environment and earth tones (green/brown/tan) if in a rural environment.
Mao Zedong’s comment about guerrillas is also relevant to preppers. ” The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.”
What is SHTF? Sorry for ignorance.
s**t hits the fan.
Ricky L. Grohowski. Here ya go. This is what I was talking about.
So How’s The Family?
The best thing to look like would be a homeless street bum. Do not display anything expensive. Wear a bit of street dirt. Keep your head down a bit. Street bums are invisible.
Idiot…!!! First two minutes proved that… Idiot…!!!

Sorry jeans and a well worn hooded sweatshirt. Just another guy, pay no attention
I thought it was Uncle Si.
A blue helmet to start.
>implying I’ll be anywhere near densely populated areas.
Great job, Doc!
Shhhhhh! 😉
Nicknamed the Greys. Can blend in to anywhere without a second look
In my area even in the summer camo is still fairly prevalent. You blend in with the surrounding population. My suggestion for blending in just about anywhere is a pair of boots jeans and a generic hoodie. I say boots because even cheap hiking boots are better than tennis shoes and a hoodie is great for hiding weapons and tools and fairly common everywhere
Ya everybody wears camo now….prepper or not …means nothing
suggestion for some good book are the foxfire book on plain old fashion living how the old timers did things
Slang term that the prepared use to describe when a situation (whatever minor or major) goes down the toilet.
Thanks for all replies. Even the smart$#%&!@*ones.

Living in a rural area where travel through the outdoors & wilderness areas. I keep camo ,h neutral colors in my bug out gear. In the winter I also keep white gear for snow. The neutrals work well in urban areas as well. This keeps me prepared should I find myself in either environment

Lol, don’t wear fatigues, you’ll be confused with a bum!
I didn’t read it but I’m gonna go with crocs.
Gray man gear
This???
When the world goes to$#%&!@* do I REALLY want to live in it when my fashion choices get me killed?!
The smart$#%&!@*ones are kinda funny.
Since SHTF had never happened this is all theoretical anyway.
Bullshit.
Your group will get rekt.

Your mom will get rekt.
Ive got tens of thousands of rounds of ammo, access to machine guns including belt fed, and 50 cal rifles….and enough people to man them.
A Raiders Jersey?
Articles such as this allow the public to blow their opsec openly so any alphabet agency reading is able to take notes easier.
Rule #1 never divulge your opsec.
What’s a prepper
Where u at
Dual drop leg = guy cant aim
Plate carrier
This comment =sarcasm.
Bit north of you. Lol
Don’t tell me “wear camo to blend in, but then don’t wear camo cuz you’ll stick out…” the$#%&!@*y’all smoking? Seriously quit holdin and pass that$#%&!@*to the$#%&!@*to the left!$#%&!@*your discretion I’ve got a plate carrier for a reason Damnit! To live dangerously, or die trying. Y’all know the adage give me liberty or give me death? Quit being afraid of death, it’s gonna fuckin happen to all us eventually. I’m not saying go out being careless looking for people to engage in a firefight with. But why not be prepared? It’s like carrying a gun… Better to have and not need, than to need and not have. And if you get shot at, that plate might at least make you feel a smidge better about the overwhelming suck factor…
I will take a guess. An “I’m with her” shirt?
Don’t worry about what to wear when SHTF.. do your watching now.. most likely the ones running around wearing 5.11 gear LoL..
