The items in my Clothing Module are meant to compliment my bug out load out clothing that I wear during a bug out scenario. The module is stored inside of the bug out bag itself in a purple packing cube. Purple equates to Clothing in “The Color of Prepping” organization concept. Clothing items are prone to taking up a lot of space in your pack. To help minimize this, I have tried to leverage ultralight gear that is lightweight and compact. The items in the Clothing Module itself also follow the Gray Man approach.

Using a poncho in an urban setting is utilitarian, but also extremely disruptive. Every time I wear a poncho in any kind of urban environment, people stare. I bought a Cabelas brand rain jacket - places that I go, you'll see more Cabelas and Carhart than Patagonia or North Face. I can wear that rain jacket in any urban setting and I'm lost in the crowd - nobody stares, nobody cares. I love it. However, I always carry a poncho in any BOB I have because it's just so useful. Great videos! I like that you share practical knowledge and don't get caught up in the gear craze or the tactical ridiculousness many other channels have.
That orange (or yellow) safety vest is one of the most underrated items. I've seen people get past checkpoints at festivals and then get through the aftermath when the booze busses etc show up by explaining they are festival staff and need to get through...while high. No kidding.
...all about a hi viz vest. I've seen people enter and leave construction sites, events, protests, all sorts of situations. The ultimate gray man is invisible...because of societal blindness to the hi-vis factor. in those situations is the tradie, the construction worker, the parking valet at a concert, the shit cleaner at the superbowl.. the garbos...whatever. basically the unseen workers ALWAYS have to wear these vests. They become invisible, and so can we by utilising this info. Mind you...If you live in France right now choose carefully because yellow is a different story. All power to you if you believe in the Y vests but you will become a target, and that is the opposite points of this videos discussion.
Thank you for the detailed comment! Yes, I think there are a LOT of applications for having an orange safety vest. Putting one on immediately puts you into an "official" looking position, which could be a good thing for certain scenarios, even if you just use it to help with a community's evacuation.
except right now in France with the Yellow Vests unless one wanna feel some repression in the form of teargas, batons, grenades and flashballs...
I refer to hi vis safety wear as a modern urban camo. You'll be seen but it's so ubiquitous that no one is going to pay any attention to you, you'll just be dismissed as another tradie. Look like you belong and you're unlikely to be challenged. An actual shirt rather than vest can work better though the vest has the advantage of being quick to put on and take off. Of course if you're wearing the vest over a business suit that might get some attention but otherwise it'll get you less attention that someone in normal clothing.
A clipboard and some papers might add to the illusion as well.
Agree,grey man isn’t necessarily dressing grey it wearing hi vis at a building site, a suit in a law firm and a clown costume at the circus.
I'd love to see Mrs Urban Prepper's bug out clothing module (& Kid Preppers' too)!
You set the standards when it comes to instructional bug out/prepper videos ... thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Wow! Thank you so much. I'm just trying to make high quality videos that I can be proud of and that hopefully help inspire others with their own preparedness planning.
@@TheUrbanPrepper You have certainly accomplished that and then some :)
The whole point behind "greyman" is to blend in. Not be noticed. It doesn't just mean "wearing grey clothes". They have to match what others wear in your environment. You've mastered this skill. Wearing items and brands that are "common for people to wear in Seattle" suits you perfectly. Great job!
Yes. That was my goal in these videos; to fit in with my local environment and community. I hope I didn't give the wrong impression to viewers about Gray Man equaling color choices specifically. That was not my intent. It was more about not sticking out in a crowd, as you mentioned.
@@TheUrbanPrepper Not at all. You were spot on with you description. My comment was just highlighting it for other readers. You "do" happen to wear gray a bit, but it's natural for your environment. "Gray Man" in Hawaii wouldn't come across the same. Keep up the great work!
Excellent. Your concept is on target well though out. I have a GI camouflage poncho I keep it with my web gear as camouflage will most likely draw to much attention from ether the police or the local hoodlums. If you have GI gear maybe you have something else worth stealing. Civilian gear may be more expensive but hoodlums may not know its value. So stealing it may not be an issue.
The orange vest is a good add on it will allow you to be visible, also using it as a flag to wave could call for help. I’ve never use silk inner sock and everyone I’ve known that did got blisters. If you had better luck that’s great.
I like this video, it would be cool to make a few female video. Maybe feat. Wife. Like clothing, personal and higiene modules. I do know What I need but sometimes you throw some ideas that does not come to mind at the moment. Even also for the kids. Love your videos. Saludos desde PR
I know that this is an older video, but I wanted to say thanks for how you have laid out your videos so that I can follow along to what I need. I've been binge watching your videos for several days and I really appreciate your content.
You're so awesome. By far you're my favorite prepper.
Wow! Thank you so much!
Hey biggin, you have to be the most organized prepper on RUclips, thanks for the PDF.
Thank you so much, I gain knowledge, resource info & content from your channel. Appreciate all the time & effort you put into this useful content, love all the module ideas, and you're excellent❤️😊
I’ve been using the Exoficio briefs for a couple of years now. Amazing! I also have the sock liners in my kit, but I’ve honestly not tested them yet. Thank you again for a helpful video!
Thanks for watching! Yes, the Exofficio's are awesome.
You should make a version of this video for women. Or is it basically the same but add some sport bras into it?
It's what I did
Good to see you're still on here killin it!
Good job, I've never commented on one of your videos before but I have to say that I love the modular gear
Wow! Thank you for making your first comment to one of my videos. I really appreciate your support of my channel.
As always, great content, to the point, organized video and really enjoyable to watch. The accompanying PDF files are great. thanks!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my videos and PDF's. They're fun for me to make.
Well Cliff, I think you gave me more idea here. I would suggest having a flight suit and/or a camo suit (not ghillie suit) for using the effective camo in that terrain. I will also not suggest going fully grey. I like having maroon, seeder red, brown tan, navy blue, foliage green, and even khaki/coyote colored clothing. I also have clothing that has functionality. Like using the women's tights as a base layer and a swimming trunks as a underwear and a shorts. Simply using everyday items for bug out gear.
It's obvious that you put a lot of thought into this topic. Well done!
Thank you! Yeah, I enjoy the analysis and planning part of emergency preparedness. So many possibilities!
As always, well thought out and applicable use for all items included! Keep up the great work C!!
Thank you very much, Larry!
Wit has been a while since I commented on one of your videos. Nice to see you are updating . Good job sir
Love your videos! Can't wait to see more of your bug out bag!
Thanks, Marina! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. More BOB videos are on the way!
Excellent video! Thank you for making the PDF too. That was very kind of you.
I love this Idea. You truly are ready for anything with that load out. Thanks for posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it! It's hard to be ready for anything, but I can certainly try!
Outstanding as usual-im currently working on starting a RUclips channel myself and this is one of the first topics I will be addressing. I fully intend to suggest to all of my ( potential) viewers that they go to your channel and take advantage of the extreme wealth of knowledge you have provided the community for years. (A) I hope that that isn't a party foul (B)Most likely anyone who would be interested in my channel will already be very familiar with you already. In any event thanks again and keep up the good work. Educational and inspiring as always
AWESOMW !!! Always interesting. Great info. Thanks for taking the time to put these suggestions together as a tool for all of us to use.
You are very welcome, Alan! Thanks for watching.
Dood. You can also make small military rolls from underwear, t shirt, and socks.
Thanks Cliff !! Another great video!! Add the poncho, maybe, Patagonia all the way!!
Man so good to see you again, great videos
It's been fun cranking out videos again after going on a sabbatical. I feel more inspired.
Can’t wait for the new Urban bug out bag
Dude 😎 true gray man I found some of your ideas good.
I have two bags, a summer bag and a winter bag, I always keep one in my car. The bags are Sea to Summit dry sacks, green for summer, white for winter, packed with seasonal clothing. The winter bag is a compression sack because it is bulkier.
Sounds like you have a nice system in place!
TheUrbanPrepper I’m in Atlanta, the summers get hot and humid with massive thunderstorms. The winters get cold, wet and icy. One set of clothes year round won’t work. I like the dry sacks because I would likely have to deal with water. Besides being uncomfortable, wet clothes can get really heavy. I was inspired to color code my bags from your vids. So thank you. Your vids have given me many great ideas. I made a really cool pocket toolkit based on your Altoids tin design.
Excellent Presentation!
Love it! One thing I might add are some goggles? Especially in cases where you might be around smoke, dust or gases (near riot situations). That could go into something more immediate than having to go through you bag and module to get to that... Maybe in the sunglasses pouch in your bag?
Great vid as always!
Cliff another great video. This series is awesome and helpful. The only problem is having to spend more money lol.
Very nice video, good ideas and well thought about.
Thank you very much!
Wow, kevlar lined gloves, nice
You're logic is correct. For tech cities like Sea, all that Tac shit will get you noticed way more fast. Pretty much for all of incorporated King County "grey man" is looking like the average programmer/engineer. Excellent vid.
Great video. Very good items you selected. The ex officio underwear is the best there is. I also been using the people socks for the last 3-4 years. Only socks I wear. They last very long if you wash/dry them correctly. This year I used the merino wool buff and I must say it has replaced my beanie that I’ve been using. Same as the original buff but a heck a lot warmer. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much, Joe!
I'm wearing some ex officio right now HAHA! And as someone that used a military poncho in the field...keep what you got, it just turns into a funnel soaking your lower legs, socks and boots.
Love my Exoficios too! Good vid.
Also I think prepper channels should redact their voice and face Sicne you don’t want to get recognized when your going off grid
Love your video
Good stuff. Apparently I need to do some shopping.
Sorry for causing you to spend money. :)
Thank you for NOT modeling the skivvies. 😂😂
Seriously, great video. Seems like a lot of clothing but you have addressed most circumstances for your region. Thanks for putting yourself out there... I always see at least one “nugget” (usually several!) in your vids. Stay safe.
Haha... Thanks Christopher. Yeah, I'm not in any condition to start modeling underwear on RUclips.
Ive swapped out all my drawers to ExOfficio. Love them. Threw all the rest in the trash.
BUG OUT BAG TIME=GREAT VIDEO
Great video, as always!
ATB from Sweden
Thank you for watching and representing the people of Sweden!
I love the format of this video and the pdf link. Makes it really easy to review and adapt to my needs. I would recommend replacing the exofficio with board shorts. This allows one to shed outer layer of pants without having to walk around in underwear. Over the past 7 years of using this system, I have found this system works great in spring, summer, early winter environments. Deep winter may have to go back to exofficio as board shorts don’t fit great under long underwear.
I'll look into the board shorts. Thanks for the comment!
TheUrbanPrepper The ones at Costco are about $15. I like the ones with a zipper and 3 pockets.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
3rd...
I've never been this early for one of your vids.
Awesome kit, never thought of adding a safety vest to a bug out bag, good idea
Thank you for being so early to watch this video! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the safety vest isn't as popular in BOB discussions, but I think it has a lot of benefits.
@@TheUrbanPrepper I would have to agree
Excellent Video. 👍👍😎
Thanks, Kelly!
Well done
I wounder what bug out gear is in the topped over bug out cart
great video! (note: i think the dome hat is not listed in the pdf....?)
I like the rain jacket that North Face offers. The main point is the armpits have zippers to let heat out. This helps for wearing your rain coat in the hotter months. Plus....I typical get hot under my arms if I’m walking and wearing a rain jacket.
Great video. Informative as always. I couldn't keep my eyes off the tipped over homeless cart and what looked like their cardboard house in the wrap-up at the end and kept wondering where the owner was......
Yeah, I noticed that back there too during editing. Seattle is getting more and more of that all over the place lately.
for me to blend in i'd have to get all camo stuff, lol. i live in a suburban area with lots of trees and wooded areas; and some rural areas not too far away. so for me, i can go with camo and fit right in. there's lots of guys (and girls) around here who wear camo year-round. so i'd just look like everyone else at any other time.
Nothing wrong with the black hat but I love that the Buff is not also black. A black face cover is just too loaded an item, much better is your grey one even in an industrial steel plate pattern. Your orange vest works with your more work uniform colors; it wouldn't look as natural in a city if it was over brighter hiking style colors.
In order to waterproof your clothes, have you considered a 2 gallon ziplock bag? It looks like it just might be the right size to fit inside your purple bag.
Nice, can probably reduce the bulk some more in a compression bag, a waterproof one would even be better… but i guess spending your money on high end gear doesn't leave much budget for the carry and containment option.
Poncho...checkout the Snugpak patrol poncho
If you want to change your sleeping bag to a multi-use item, try out the Helikon-Tex Swagman Roll. Check it out, it's basically an insulated poncho, but you can use it as a sleeping bag too! You can find it on Amazon.
What jacket do you recommend for concealed carry in an inside the coat pocket?
Good morning! what a super early upload
Good morning to you too!
clothes took up alot of space in my bag. I'm surprised you got it in that small purple bag.
It sucks that you have to go with ultralite clothes to make it fit, which is expensive, but that's the only way I've been able to make it work.
Love the videos!! I am starting to build my bug out set up, do you recommend getting the final bag first or obtaining the gear and then getting your final bag based on the items chosen??
Thank you, Adam! I would start by obtaining the primary gear first, store it in a laundry basket temporarily. As you are building up your supplies, try lifting the laundry basket to ensure that you can handle the weight. Once you have a good baseline at a reasonable weight, figure out what specific backpack would best server your needed. Hope this helps!
Great video. One thought. If you are wearing your hi-vis vest for safety and wearing your backpack, you will lose the rearward safety value. Some reflective straps or a reflective panel would do the trick.
If your vest is big enough, you can put your vest over your pack. I used to wear my vest over my pack all the time when I rode a motorbike instead of putting reflective straps on my pack because it was easier
You mentioned that purple case isn't waterproof. I'd take steps to waterproof your clothes. It doesn't take much water making it's way inside your pack to make your clothes damp and that just sucks, especially if it's underwear.
I'd either put stuff in individual zip lock bags or wrap your clothes individually in cling wrap. Both options are reusable and multipurpose but will stop most of the water getting in. I wouldn't put them underwater but it'll keep the rain out. I use cling wrap personally
Solid
Thanks Jay!
much love from TACOMA
Love T-Town!
Actually depending on your urban environment, the military poncho may fit in fine as there are more people with those on the streets than high end rain wear.
Yeah. I think I'm going to include both just for options, since the poncho can also serve as Shelter. On normal days, wearing a Poncho would stick out a lot. Perhaps not in a Bug Out scenario. I hope I never have to use any of this stuff.
I think your high vis vest should focus on being light weight rather than features like pockets and durability
@UrbanPrepper it looks like the Mountain Hardwear Dome Perignon cap wasn't included in the PDF.
Thanks for the heads up! Fixed.
These are great for my hubby, BUT....could you also make a video for "gray woman"...your wife will understand....I hope...
Which Lav Mic were you using there? I am looking for a new one so I was wondering. Thanks. Great Video btw.
I use the Sennheiser EW112PG3A Wireless Microphone.
@@TheUrbanPrepper Thanks much appreciated. I guess you're happy with it?
Yes. I like it a lot, although it was expensive.
@@TheUrbanPrepper it's 600€ over here.. I am seriously considering it but it's quite a bit of change lol
Rubber gloves?
I love the video but for some reason 1:08 to 1:48 could be titled "intro to burglar gear". I'm kidding, i thought i was the only one who kept a balaclava in their bug out bag.
The military style poncho/woobie is a great choice because it can double as shelter and camouflage.
Yes! That's what I'm thinking too. I'll have to tweak my Shelter Module, but that's OK.
How much is your BOB weighing now?
If you're not going fully brandless/tagless, at least switch all of that Patagonia stuff and hats with Quechua, especially if you're in Europe. It's more affordable, practically the same quality (sometimes even more modular!), and way more discreet as either more people will be wearing them and you'll blend in, or fewer would pay attention to the brand because it's not as easily recognizable so they wouldn't know if it is pricey (therefore not making you a target) like big names.
Remember people, capitalist fashion is something to avoid, no matter how useful it might look. There's always a more discreet, better alternative. THAT is what you want if you're TRULY not looking for excuses to get into trouble just to have a story to talk about.
Everyone knows you don't walk into a really bad neighbourhood with a glittery gold Louis Vuitton suit. Wearing Patagonia or whatever at a time of survival is the exact same thing, everyone recognises that brand as something useful for those scenarios, and henceforth as something worth pettily fighting over for. The difference is that the world has become that bad neighborhood, and all of your clothes the glittery gold Louis Vuitton suit.
Your gear is the real gold here, including the clothes on your back. Take care of them, and they'll take care of you.
After you show yourself on a toilet, showing your underwear seems very tame. Haha! Your videos are ALWAYS fantastic. Thank you!
Haha! Thanks Denise. Yeah, it doesn't get much worse than the toilet video.
Dude, I like the idea but that is a little too grey for me. Great job on both the videos.
Patagonia is far from gray man. I also live in seattle and you'd stick out anywhere but an amazon convention or lunch time downtown.. worn work boots, shitty dirty clothes, and an old jansport backpack would be more appropriate. Youd be a target wearing what you have on down in Westlake.
Agreed. That new, clean Patagonia jacket does kinda stick out
Costco carries the identical socks without the PS logo.
Excellent!
Thanks, well done. I too wear ExOfficio (for women) and many of your choices are unisex. Does your wife have items that are unique for women?
#1. Keep your current rain gear. You don't need to look like a hobo.
#2. Keep your current tent setup. It's more appropriate for a family man.
#3. Keep a whistle and signal mirror in your safety vest's pocket. Being heard is often associated with being seen.
I would avoid the poncho in a big city or town. I can't speak for the states, but if you walked around the UK in a big city in a poncho people would think you're potty.
Yeah, I don't trust it as much in the city. I may though outside of the city, especially if I needed to leverage it for shelter too.
James, please notify the People’s Poncho and let them know that they make people look like potty. www.thepeoplesponcho.co.uk/pages/about-our-ponchos
It would do them great service and they can stop wasting their time.
Purple WTF
We wear the same underwear. lol
Where's the homeless person that belongs to the cart behind you? LOL Yet another "I like the way you think vid "Keep 'em coming
I'm not sure. There was trash all over the area were I filmed those segments. The Seattle streets are getting dirtier and dirtier.

The last thing you should do is bug out. Please for the love of god don’t leave the safety of your home unless you absolutely have to. I think you make good content but I think people are far to eager to bug out when 99% of the time staying right where you are is the best option.
I agree. My plan is to Bug In for the majority off issues and only to bug out if our Bug In location is compromised (e.g, fire, earthquake, civil unrest, etc). This series is on bug out items. I have other videos for my Home Preps (Bug In).
Don't look like you're trying to be greyman.
