Tactical gear is pretty cool. No one's arguing with that. However, while we may fantasize about donning head to toe body armor and taking on the entire world when SHTF, the reality is that if we did this, we would likely die within a few minutes. Watch the video below to find out why.
In a SHTF situation, you want to become a “gray man.” Or woman. In a sense, you want to be so unnoticeable that nobody could even pick out your face in a lineup.
When you don full tactical gear or any military or militia uniform, what you are saying to the military, police and the populace as a whole that you are armed and are likely very dangerous.
In these events, police and military will be doing everything they can to reduce the threat to the public, and seeing someone on the streets who is packing a noticeable weapon and looks ready for trouble will definitely catch their attention. With tensions high, the best thing you can do is never be noticed in the first place.
What happened with Katrina a d the gun confiscations was messed up. What he forgets is that in an emergency the authorities will will laugh in your face when you are quoting the constitution. When the sh!t hits the fan the constitution won’t be worth the paper it is written on. It is called martial law for a reason.
Flip flops . . .
Yep, the nail that sticks up gets hit first.
Never stand out… blend in and keep moving
I wouldn’t wear that crap anyway. It’s like bikers who dress normal every day of the week and on Saturdays get dressed up like they’re going to a Halloween party as Hell’s Angels.
Bikers dress in leather to protect them if they go down. People who wear shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes while riding are morons. Just like you, some people comment about things that they know very little about.
Try to avoid direct eye contact since that creates a connection between you and the one who has reacted to your gaze. Stay aware of your surroundings but when observing other people avoid looking higher than shoulder level. If a shout you believe may be directed at you do not respond. Do your best to continue on as you were before the shout was heard. There is a chance that IF the verbal message WAS aimed at you but the authority figure or possible person with evil intent is not intent upon interacting with you your ignoring that shout/order/demand/whatever could possibly have you going on your way and the one who shouted at you will select a different person who will respond as the typical American indoctrinated sheep does leaving you free to get the heck out of that area.
There isn’t enough national guard to do it ….regular army and marines will be in the mix
US military fatigues aren’t going to get you shot….neither is carrying a gun….but being stupid will
Our military is not big enough to even cover every major city in a bad situation let alone the country side that will fall back to local sheriffs many of them will call the militia groups they belong to…
This is why 3/4 of my neighbors are Amish …..and why I help them any time I can ….I stay put and not starve
I’m in Kansas right by youder. Huge amish town. Good people. I make hand made boots. So it’s a good trade to make deals. God speed
I moved here…because of them and because I have a brick house on top a hill….it’s no .50 proof but no 5.56 is going to blow through double brick 3/4 inch plank insulation then 3/8 pine inside lol…..plus open fields for 400 m minimum around it
Good deal. That will do. Not too many guys have a 50 so you should be good. I’m hoping to get 15 archers here soon with a couple wells
What it fails to mention is that the reason the military came in was because armed gangs were firing on emergency personnel. There was no “confiscation in well-to-do neighborhoods,” the Marines went in to the city where armed gangs of looters and criminals were wreaking havoc.
You’re also failing to mention the times that law enforcement officers opened fire on unarmed refugees while they tried to escape.
In a situation like that, law enforcement is not your friend.
A baby blue helmet??
Lol, mall ninjas.
I agree,
When did law enforcement do this?
Probably around the time that one of the Police higher ups was just about “arrested” by the National Guard units for looting….
When the commanding general found out they were disarming citizens during Katrina, he told them to cease and desist. The liberal mayor, who is now in prison, ordered the confiscation of firearms.
UN and foreign troops and intel will be out there.
While I strongly agree with most of this video, I must take exception with your hair and beard. Since the earliest records of military have been kept long hair on the head is not recommended. It makes a great handhold in close combat. A close trimmed appearance is much harder to grab, be the attacker be a good guy or bad. Something to consider.
