Very refreshing to see someone recommend subdued, non-militaristic clothing for gray man bugout scenarios. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen someone in cargo pants with a painfully obvious gunbelt and thought, "Operator Wannabe".
Awesome! I completely agree with your ideas and philosophy..with the exception of wool. Wool is very itchy and abrasive. Camo does make people stand out as military and black looks tactical (S.W.A.T.). You're right about your hands. If anyone has been out camping you will find that your hands get beat up quickly. Your hands are your life. Good job, great vid!
Some types of wool are as you described, merino wool for example isn't. It's great, breatheble and still holding heat if you need it to, somehow works good in summer and winter and everything inbetween, for wool you should research though. Some sheeps don't live well.
I personally go for the Bruce Lee Dragon look, I call it Kung Fu camo. No one will want to try and steal from someone who looks like they have crazy Kung Fu skills. But you know drab is cool, if that's what your into...
+BlackScoutSurvival Great video, I very much respect and admire your knowledge that you share with us.
3 things I think of when I see someone wearing 5.11
1. Military (prior or current)
2. Any kind of LE (prior or current)
3. Someone who's equipped with a self defense weapon/ mindset
If I was trying to be gray man, I would not wear something that is marketed toward government agencies. My personal rule of thumb 5.11 = shoot me first cloths.
Agreed. However when you bug out that means SHTF is happening. So it's not gonna matter what you wear. Look at Katrina. Normal everyday people. Who would be considered "gray" got robbed and raped and killed. All the gray man stuff goes out the window once shtf happens.
I have a big blue external frame backpack that I camp with, but luckily found a camouflage rain cover for it. Civilian to camouflage in an instant.
Best clothing is merino wool. If u wanna invest in clothing that works in any temps and our ancestors survived in for thousands of years. Merino wool is best choice.
Great intel! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
not enough vids of this kind on RUclips. Really struggling as a rural woman of " real " proportions on where to even begin when having to buy online.
My Amazon Cart Is full and Costs 700 Dollars....
EMPF4 lol just filled my cart over this past week and it has 77 items. Too afraid to look at cost right now. Maybe when i have more savings.
EMPF4 go to surplus store dumby
I always wear camo pants or shirt daily. I also wear my USMC 8point cover and boots. When shtf I will be wearing camo, not a gray man outfit.
Camo and a AR
Nice to see REAL useful items without bells and whistles or "gadgets" most seem to like. I agree...feet, hands, head are crucial for protection....feet may be only mode of transportation, and if you can't use your hands your dead....protecting head from heat loss or FROM heat exposure leads to better thinking and choices. I also like and agree with the use of some military gear (non camo), it is proven durable and I too prefer NOT to look too military. I keep two pair of boots, both 8" one 800gm thinsulate for winter and swap out for desert tan no insulated for summer. People don't realize they can be "camo" simply by mixing natural color gear....don't have to be patterned.
Jeff Swartout exactly!!
BlackScoutSurvival What moral patch is that on your hat, and do they make them in arid? If not, can you tell me where you get arid moral patches that aren't pvc? Also what hat is that you have on and what color?
Thanks so much and great videos!
I’ve never thought of having a sniper veil in my pack. Great idea!
Excellent video with sound advise! Everyone has their own ideas and reasoning on the gear they carry. Just remember that this is what he chooses to carry and he is only giving you some good advise, something to think about.
His comment about taking care of your feet is dead on accurate! Wool socks and foot powder is a must (learned this in the Corps). KEEP YOUR FEET DRY! Carry multiple pairs of socks and change them whenever you stop to take a break. Air out your feet, powder and new pair. Turn your used socks inside-out and hang from pack (if dry outside)! You should also keep some feet bandages in case you start getting sores on your feet. You will be walking more than what your used to (unless you just got out of the Corps) lol. Another good idea is getting a good pair of sole inserts for your boots. This will help with feet knees and back pain and fatigue.
Powder will also help prevent crouch rot! A good pair of sport boxer briefs will help prevent shaifing!
And on a side note: if your traversing through mountainous regions, with a topographical map; just remember that you may think that going up and over a mountain is faster than going around it, It's not always the best route. Going UP will use more energy (calories) and you will take more breaks. Then going down the mountain, you have a higher risk of injury, especially your ankles and knees. Some times it's just better to take the time and go around. You want to get where your going safely because all you have is time!
Just some info to think about! Stay safe, stay prepared!
Really like this channel. Just getting in survival and prepping. This channel has some of the best info. Keep it up.
Thanks for the great pointers and suggestions. I found your advice very helpful.
Excellent video. Brought to mind a few aspects of "combination camo" . Items that allow you to go grey in an urban environment yet would suffice to minimize visibility in a woodland, or other, outdoor situation. You've got me rethinking my GHB clothing choices.
Awesome. thanks
I have done a complete 180 since I began prepping. I DO have a Maxpedition Gyrfalcon with the "Tactical" look. I recently bought a slate gray Rain cover for it, that will go over i even when its dry outside. I am shifting EVERYTHING n my preps to GRAY MAN!
I live on the gulf coast and recently I have changed my entire approach to footwear. When I'm out and moving fast, I've switched to a wet friendly boot like Lalo tactical. I've never had a pair of water proof boots last more than a year. Boots that allow water to flow freely in and out has been the best choice for me in this part of the country. Pair a free draining boot with a decent wool sock, my feet might get a little wet but they dry fast and if I'm out moving and my blood is pumping, I won't get cold. The boots and sock dry in no time. I would love to see more videos regarding coastal wetlands and beaches! Keep up the awesome work.
I love draining boots. You can add diving socks, for full winter use.
Wise counsel Sir! -- Thank you!
thank you
I am blown away by goose down. I have what is called a goose down "sweater" which is really just a more compact light weight jacket but they are insanely efficient insulaters. It weighs as much as a fleece sweater yet is as warm as my heavy wool coat.Very light weight and compressable and relatively cheap. Admiyttedly fragile.
This is a great video. I agree on the camo thing. I buy all my gear in base colors. OD green and coyote tan. All of my friends have gear in realtree and mossy oak camo and using my 2 base colors I can camouflage my gear just as good as there's. Keep up the good work. You've earned a new subscriber
Good point. Also, mixing olive and coyote (maybe with some black here and there) gear makes a great "all terrain" camouflege.... that doesn´t seems camouflage at all.
I learned that maybe wool socks will keep my feet warm, that would have been useful in the past when I was close to frostbite on my toes. Good to know. Black Scouts are good. I think this video is odd though. Normally Black Scouts packs lighter and normally has better ideas. Some ideas in this video we're good, but not the normal expertise I'm used to seeing. Too heavy. Can't move really quick with the heavy gear, unless you bury it in a safe place to get later and travel lightly with assault pack. Overall, I love watching Black Scouts. Their work is priceless, although some things could be done better. I don't mean to offend anyone. I know I don't do everything the best way either, which is why team work is good. What I know, combined with Black Scouts is amazing. Good Job, Black Scouts!
Great video! Thanks for the tips.
Great ideas , thank you for this
Black Scouts are amazing, period.
Not to sound like a creepy weirdo, but what pants are you wearing in this video. Do they offer any sort features/storage?
Great info! Keep up the good work.
I think this channel is the best
Nice video do you recommend keeping items like this in the vehicle as well. I usually keep a change of clothes, boots, socks, etc. Just because my days can change very quickly. And I have rode home an hour after changing a tire in the snow wet.
Who would you recommend for a quality sniper veil? (Durability, Color Accuracy, sizes, etc)
cotton is a bad choice no matter what the situation is. 1. it takes forever to dry when wet.
jeans are also a poor choice. also take forever to dry.
I hike alot. I have nothing but wool and stuff that will dry really fast or wicks it away.
Semper- Fi bro, damn great work your doing. Got any advice on how to find a prep group for SHTF ? Let me know, any advice is better than no advice.
I'm a chick and loving all your videos! Thanks for sharing
Could you or anyone recommend military surplus stores online? In my area there is only one and it’s downtown. Far where I live. The closest one closed down cause of COVID. So basically they’re closing military surplus market demand in my area.
Nice video and since you mentioned boots or other footwear I have a question:
What do you think of Haix boots based on your experience? I have a few pairs and never got any problems with them. Are they similar to Oakley?
Thanks in advance
As always good info!!!
Love your videos, watch them all the time. Speaking of footwear, what would you recommend for a versatile climate like denver? Thanks!!
Good vid, thanks.
Love your vids man!
"If you live in Antartica..." lol
great point about gloves and add to that eye protection
Excellent info! Excellent video!
Thanks
Picked a couple ideas here.
Excellent vid. Ty
If you carry all that in your backpack you won't have room for all the other items you need to survive in the forest during Winter. I have my clothes taking up very little of the items in my pack and the other items left to taking up very little space also. My sleeping system takes up the most room since I need that to keep warm on those cold nights. My backpack itself is a military style bag and got it from the area military base where they sell the best and one which is used by the military.
As an EMT, I've shown up to several car accidents where the only thing people are wearing is shorts and a hoodie. In winter. Wearing or having access to halfway decent clothing is something that most people do not think about.
5.11 are the best pants
It doesnt matter if you wear camo or not, if you have any gear or anything that anybody wants they will try to take it, if you have a backpack that looks full and full of goodies they would want it if they was looking for anything to take
Great stuff. I also like to mix up military and civilian gear.
Jack Bones me too
I like your boots alot !
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thanks
Hello Sir I was wondering if you could make a video of bugging out situation n using a hydration pack with gear for scouting n for a sentry if u had to watch over ur camp something like that?
I guess, everything. Pants, shirts, coats.. maybe a recommendation to one of your videos that address this area...that will fit in a pack. 25% of my weight would only be 35 pounds..;)
At 6:50 I have some clothing that same color is that color good for blending in if you're in the woods
Sound advise. Thanks.
Great vid like always ! Wat 511 pants are you wearing??
Greetings, I wonder what brand of clothes uses . Such as shirts and pants shown in this tutorial. thanks
Bates boots, Rocky, LaCrosse, and Damned are all good boot manufacturers that are not to expensive but offer a variety of quality footwear. If you dont carry much, extra socks,shirts, and underwear are important to staying clean and preserving your hygiene. Pants if you can but not as important.
Are you still off the camouflaged colors? I was thinking about getting a bonnie cap for urban situation
would have never considered buying a sniper veil but now that you mentioned it could be used as a fishing net im pretty much sold
Excellent. Glad we could help
Good advice
Great video, just wondering what do you recommend for a belt or multiple belts for different situations? Bugout, survival, outdoor wilderness and Edc.
Sivatharusan Sivakumar thanks. i use leather. its comfortable and can be used as a strop
Just thought id throw in my 2 cents, probably already covered in the vid, but just in case your scrolling thru. Plus this is just my Opinion so take it witha grain of salt.
good quality hiking boot and one of those spray can of water repellent if you want em semi water proof then a set of camp shoes so your feet can breathe after long day of hiking.
wool socks light weight for summer and med to heavy for winter climate depending
Down here in Texas its hot like 75 % of the time so shorts are good but when it gets cold personally I like Dickies work pants. 2 of each and your set for a good while.
Ploy or synths are good for colder weather since they can wick moisture but they always seem to retain heat (in my experience) during the summer months and in Texas thats not what you want in the summer. So cotton for hot and poly for cold
a good wool of fleece sweater
a rain shell
work and warming gloves
then a ploy beanie and your set
The fabric of the clothes you wear is what is important.
Your clothes should be rugged built, loose fitting and versatile for the environment you are in. Nice canvas pants and shirt jacket with plenty of pocket space yet roomy in fit, non-binding. Basic color that blends with your surroundings or is neutral, grey, brown, black, dark green.
Boots with good soles made from duty service grade materials. You want boots that will last and keep you comfortable and safe. Always throw in comfortable socks and underwear that will last. Changing out on a regular basis with a clean extra pair.
Good leather is always preferable to synthetics.
Gloves, boots, belt, even a vest with good fasteners are a must.
Bandanas, hats and scarves to protect your face are often overlooked and should be packed specifically. Keep in mind that in an urban scenario, security may require covering your face, also there may be health and safety concerns that you may need to filter the air you breath or strain water you drink.
Don't forget eye protection either. Being blinded as the SHTF leaves you helpless.
Always have available a knife, lighter and flashlight the basic for survival.
A nice first aid kit augmented with chapstick, eyewash and lotion.
Something everyone seems to forget to carry and is seldom mentioned is TP.
How many times I've been hiking or camping and a companion didn't think to bring with them some butt wipe.
Ah thier discomfort, good times. I seal several rolls in heavy duty ziplock plastic bags and carry them in a variety of kits.
Heavy duty garbage bags also come in handy. For improvised shelter and raingear as well as storage.
Most important topic..
Having a change of clothes in bag if u can even anthing will help your moral far more on a wet cold day than hot chocolate lile many suggest.
i love it collin
I totally agree with you about the boots and knife being the area where most money should be spent, also your rucksack because it holds your precious gear. Would you recommend a certain model or brand of boots for temperate weather?
Lowa Zephyr Desert Boot. Its the same as my goretex Ive shown here, but a desert model that doesnt have gortex. Some of the best boots you can get.
BlackScoutSurvival I was considering your recommendation and a few others. But I ended up getting a pair of Belleville 550ST Jungle Desert Boots. They are pretty badass and seem stout and robust, and will protect me from a snake bite to the ankle ( I've seen snakes pop right out of the side of the trails). Although they are heavy I think it's worth the weight.
Thanks for the video. I don't usually think into what material my clothes are. I just sorta wear the item in question for the day and see how it effects my temperature... :S
Hopefully we changed that habit
Enjoyed your video and information! You mentioned dipping a shirt in water and putting it back on when hot. Were you referring to the base layer or the button-down? In my opinion, you are doing some really great stuff!
Thank you Kris, Im referring to the button down outer layer and removing the base layer when hot.The airflow given without base layer and the damp shirt is fantastic for cooling.
Good to know! Thanks for the clarification...
Which one you think be better for Ohio earth brown color olive drap or kakkie thanks
Personally for me, this is what I wear and keep in the closet,
Danner lookout tactical boots.
Black fleece joggers.
Black t shirt
Grey Wool coat
Black Knee pads
Ski mask
Black tactical gloves.
(Trying to obtain some non-ballistic body armor)
I know this is millitaristic but I'm not going for blending in with the crowd, the black does okay in all enviroments.
Awesome and Great points!
Black shows really good under night vision
I personally don't agree with going with a hikers backpack. I started off with those and yeah they are great for certain reasons but the reality is if you're in a bug out situation you have no idea whether it's going to be two days, 2 years, or the rest of your life and those type of bags just simply will not hold up. With a heavy everyday use she'll be lucky if you even get 6 months out of them. I highly suggest the 511 bags or something similar in quality. Just my personal opinion I thought I'd share with anybody who is interested. Stay safe.
What was the make and model of the OD long sleeve shirt with the hidden pocket on the hip area?thanks!
Triple aught design overland shirt
Depending on exactly what time of the year I would have to bug out and exactly how I would get to where I near to bug out I wouldn't take anything other than what I'm able to wear just to get there. THEN, I would get "naked and afraid" as soon as I get there.
AMEN!
I have several pair boots, Asolo, Danners, merrell, keens,, Under armor spped freaks and a few more, the Asolo tps 520 are BOMB proof long time to break in and are heavy, Danner proghorns fairly light weight very comfortable quick break in period, merrells haven't lasted nearly as long as the others, and not least Keens, not as comfortable as my Danners or merrells, if I had no idea were I was going id take the Asolo tps 520, in the lower 48 states I would take my Danner proghorns or my under armor speed freaks the UA are VERY light weight super fast to move in and have held up pretty well!! maybe this will help someone
New drinking game. Every time he says subdued colors take a shot
Thanks
I live in Montana what city in Montana did u go to
"a bad sense of fashion" LOL
More seriously, I agree on the camouflage issue. Not to mention, some cammo patterns work well when you're not moving, but, when you start moving, they tend to attract the eye because they have sharply defined areas of color. And plain drab clothes are not only less threatening, but, they don't scream "Doomsday prepper" to the general public, which means people may not react to you as a wild eyed kook (which is how the media portrays preppers and bushcrafters)
Exactly...I do consider myself a Survivalist though. lol
where could i get a sniper veil and or how could i make one
That model of Oakley Assault boot suck. I had two sets and the soles fell of both in weeks. I have gone back to Altamas and Danner.
What do you think about those shoes that leave behind animal tracks instead of boot prints when you walk?
They dont look natural to a trained tracker. Which is when you would need to truly hide your tracks.
What is the name of the smaller Kelty pack?
Links where you found everything?
I want a nice low profile black urban waterproof bag.
Excellent info, but way to many clothing items than I would carry.here in the desert. I've been rethinking my bug out wear since I watched another of your videos, and even though my pre-laid out wear was civilian it was a bit too militar appearing.
+Harrison Blackwood Depends on what kind of desert conditions you are experiencing. Many deserts can hit below freezing by night requiring ECW clothing.
rudolph Walker. Yes i know. I've been in many deserts. The one I'm in is much like Afghanistan. It gets cold at night but not ECW cold except in winter. My warmth layer in the summer and spring is simple 2 piece long johns. Our mountains can get damned cold though. Thanks for weighing in.
Harrison Blackwood
The issue with modern ECW gear is volume rather than weight and it is getting lighter and more compressible every year. Still I am not a fan of "travel light freeze at night" methodology. I'd rather hump a little extra gear and get a good nights sleep ;-)
Rudolph Walker I agree with that. I do like a good warm bag at night. Sleeping in a poncho with a liner just isn't that warm, even a highly modified one. I love fleece but as you pointed out it's bulky. And fleece never has enough pockets for my taste.
What are the hiking boots called
Great Job on the Video!!! Where is Black Scout Survival located?
southeast
Where in SE? I'm living in Tn. In future would like attend one if your classes.
Pacific North West Son ha i was thinking that also im located in the southeast
If I have some questions for you. Could I email you? I'm in Minnesota and have some general questions about bugging out and survival in general.
Sure. It may take me some time to get back to you but I will when I get a chance.
Why no gorka?
A pair of sandals (in which you can run) is a good pick for inbetween and camp. Otherwise you will "swim" in your boots pretty fast. A pair of old leather boots might also be a good pick, depending on how long the situation takes, because one can repair them. GOOD woodsman/lumberjack/hunter leather trousers are also good and will last forever. Expensive though.
"Gray man" depends on the area. Depending on where you are you would be perceived as a of duty/undercover military or police person. One might want to look more like a craftsman, librarian or maybe hiker/camper/lumberjack. At least have the possibility to look like one. Remember take raingear like a poncho.
If there were checkpoints and you would guard it what persons would you examin closer? Remember Katrina. Would you even let a certain kind of people get close to you? Would you let em get through without "taxation"? Questions one should ask.
All depends on the situation, area and time. Have options.
triple aught design is good, if you want to spend $200-$300 on a shirt
I was wondering what bad you are using there. I did not catch that? I like it....I currently am looking towards the ILBE or something similar
Jeremy Aker pack
A lot of clothes do you carry all of them? Good vid very helpful.
no...just ideas
BlackScoutSurvival great ideas that helps. How many of each would you keep in your bag?
wear cargo pants for a zombie apocalypse if youre going to scavange much
can you put the references of your packs please?
Yeah the gloves thing is funny. Yeah 99% of the time i don't wear gloves. But if shtf i don't want to get a little cut or splinter to get infected without the proper treatment's available. Also in the "real world" you can take a break when you're hands get too sore. But when shtf you don't get a choice of whether or not you want to be using your sore hands
LINKS PLEASE...lol. Dude you should really be linking to those products. Increases money in your pocket and also gives the rest of us EXACTLY the material you are talking about to decide if it works for us. From a marketing perspective, you left a lot off the table for us to consume.
+Randal Blanchette I linked to all relative items.
What if you do live in the desert? Not really any good survival videos for desert environments.
I wear jackboots all the time even when in the City just pull your jeans over the Jacks and wear Casual shit like baggy jeans denim Vest And a Cap and Shoulder bag plus a Backpack
Unless I'm at home at the Time then I have a Different set Khaki for where I live Texas and pretty light webbing with Cap for loads of Rounds I dident Count but ill Count and Comment once I have
flaps on the back of shits like that is for ticks. they only crawl up, then they get stuck.
