I am black and stand with the Lord. So, I am already a very big target regardless if I am a grey man or not. Regarding tactics in this situation. You might as well need to wear whatever tactical gear , fire arms that can stand out because you're going to be attacked regardless.. tactical gear does give intimidation look because most likely you know what you are doing. I'd rather have people be scared of me then not be scared of me.
Use what works... the whole Grey man thing is overrated and just another term you tubers use... all but 1 of my packs are all.military surplus.. not worried about what other think...
The actual fact is that less than one percent of the population of the world has a MOLLE backpack… you may want to challenge what the malfunction in your brain is that is causing you to think “everyone has one”….
@@BoneTactical the only brain malfuntion is that yours doesn't understand inference, clearly I don't mean LITERALLY everyone. and I'd happily challenge this "Fact" you refer to. where exactly to you obtain this "fact" that only 1% have molle?

Don't feel bad. When my older brother got out he decided he didn't any of his take home and was gonna toss. I scooped that shit and have been using his old "day pack" for better part of 15 yrs now. Sometimes take the deconstructed ruck when I got deep woods hunting for the week but generally don't even need that much space anymore. Use what you have if you have no choice, upgrade when you can.
You go into a buisness meeting, a kindergarden, a hospital, a bank, ... with a molle backpack, you look wrong in this environment. Like you are lost or an intruder. With a normal backpack like an Eastpak or a buisness backpack - you fit into the environment. It's like having a shotgun over your shoulder. In the woods or and the range - perfect environment. Everywhere else - not fitting into the environment.

"Not translatable into multiple environments" You'll have to explain that one, I have no idea what you were even trying to say there....with MOLLE I would argue it is the most versatile for hauling different gear for different environments. Backpacking, hiking, camping, overnight motorcycle trips, etc. Putting stuff on the outside isn't practical? What? Where do you put your Nalgene holders then? Where do you attach your wet gear to dry out while hiking then? Where do you attach additional pouches to hold more inventory? Do you even do outdoor activities? My FILBE was $50, is tough as nails, and will last me a lifetime. Good luck with your overpriced hipster pack.
Urban environments, where modern human beings spend 99% of their lives surrounded by other human beings. This is where MOLLE is not translatable. Unless you’re in a uniformed military troop movement, it’s not a good idea. Check out “the real greyman theory” to take your tactics to the next level 👊🏼
@@ConnorT.ya, he’s just yapping. He’s just trying to get as many words in as possible. No matter the backpack type, if you have one on the enemy force will see u as a threat. Does a Molle backpack help? No but there’s not much difference
Interesting points, I mainly use military packs for my gear since most civilian backpacks wear out quickly. I guess it really depends on the environment, if you live in a city than it’s probably gonna stand out more, I live in a small town in the south of USA and everyone here owns something with camo print 😂. It also depends on the situation, if we’re talking full on apocalypse then I don’t see the point in caring about the color of packs, most people would be too scared and would hide out in their homes at first, they wouldn’t come out until they needed something, after a week everyone who didn’t prepare would be dead only leaving those who did prepare left which would decrease the need for caring about stuff like bag color since everyone you meet would most likely be a prepper/fellow survivalist.

I agree with the first point. But that's more situation and environment rather than a negative point. If you want to be inconspicuous, use an inconspicuous backpack. If you want to be tactical and equip/attach multiple things to be prepared for more/dangerous situations, use the tactical MOLLE backpack.
Yes my friend you’re getting there! Give yourself time to process and then integrate this information into your tactical systems to become more effective👊🏼
What do you mean its not translatable in multiple environments? I legit dont understand and am looking for clarification just so that's clear. In my opinion i think the "it makes you a target" idea is nonsense. Now a days i could where a shirt that says "i am literally carrying a gun bang bang i wanna be a hero look at me." And i guarantee you no one would bat an eye. Molle is on everything and it doesnt get any attention. I know people say that criminals are different but i just dont believe it. Please feel free to prove me wrong by showing me cases where armed civilians were targeted. I dont think you can go wrong by blending in but i am just not convinced these things matter. Just my 2 cents that no one asked for.
I was looking for anyone’s 2 cents so it was definitely asked for. This guy is just a twit who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He thinks that wearing a MOLLE backpack as a civilian is a big deal, when really no one gives a flying F
I think you misunderstood the video Jim. It’s not about whether you stick out or not, it’s about whether or not your MOLLE backpack will help you be more effective in your daily life and better meet your goals, or whether it will be detrimental to your success. The details matter, my friend don’t cheat the little things. Have a great week.
Profiled: Ok the "Terrorist" will target me but if i go in a bank i get in and i get tf out, i dont stick around specially if someone is shifting, looking at camera and shit. Looks dumb: Fucking subjective wtf??? Not translatable to other environment:..... the fuck does this mean jimmy?? Extra: I can hook my 8L bag and my camping gear on it. Nice fucking dogs tho.

I've had a molle strap backpack for the last four or five years and I love hanging all my equipment on the outside on the molle. It is very handy, plus mines all camoed out so.
for poorly trained or untrained low level military grunts MOLLE is practical absolutely. Not for the people using it but for the government paying to equip the disposable soldiers. Once an operator gains a little experience he learns that jingling and jangling around like the Beverly hillbillies with crap strapped all over the outside of his pack that can get caught during room clearing or in heavy brush is possible to get him killed… thanks for showing your level of skill (or lack thereof)!

As a military aviator, I agree with your first point to a certain degree. Whenever we go to certain countries we are advised to blend in and not stand out as this would make us more likely to be a target. However, for the average civilian I don’t think this matters much considering I always see people wearing tactical gear back in the states and most people don’t care about it.
It is most definitely situational the dependent, and as a military aviator, they may brief you on some of the basics, but you would greatly benefit from checking out my videos on the real Greyman theory. If you ever find yourself going down behind enemy lines, my playlist there or survival, escape and evasion could save your life. 👊🏼
I wear my molle II rucksacks everywhere, and have yet to be "taken out"! It is bulletproof, and modular so completely adapts to any situation, though it is heavy...
Well, generally speaking, when you enter a situation where you have the potential of being taken out, you don’t get a second chance, and you don’t get to brag on TH-cam about having survived it. I am simply sharing some facts to help some of the people who would like to learn the ability to survive such a non-permissive environments.
Yes, if no one is carrying a backpack just having one will get you profiled. Absolutely. That’s why I keep one in my vehicle, office, home, etc. ready to go. People carry backpacks when the situation requires it, so carrying a backpack when you need one will be normal. Busy city streets, gym, coffee shops, airports, busses, taxis, train stations and public transport… even offices and job sites. They all have people carrying backpacks. And unless you’re on a uniformed military op or in the woods with no one around… a MOLLE backpack will be one of the worst options 👊🏼
Thought the exact same thing when I was building my pepper pack. However a military backpack is compatible with body armor. So u can attach it to ur vest or even stick a plate in the pouch inside it on mine. Which will protect my stuff (water, radio etc) from getting holes in them.
Yes! I have several videos on body armor as well. That will really help you with your planning and prepping, as well as to realize that both military backpacks and military body armor are very near the bottom of the list of recommended items for US civilians inside the US
Greg, Everything you said about Molle backpacks is absolutely true, [but] I have to admit I am “that guy”. Now with that said let me explain. I have three molle backpacks and they all do a different duty. One goes from my house to the car and stays no further way from me than a chair in my house, the backseat of my Subaru or my hotel room. I have a ton of things on the exterior of my EDC molle bag; e.g. hard sunglass case, IFAK & tourniquet, S-hooks, carabiners, gloves and anything that I may need easily. My range molle bag carries everything that I will need for whatever range trip I am doing. I much prefer a backpack over the standard range bag. It is one less thing I have to carry in my hands. Furthermore, it is larger than most standard range bags. My travel molle bag is one of my carryons when I fly and you would notice it immediately. It is loaded with enough clothes and other essentials so that I can complete my trip even if my check luggage doesn’t make it. My travel molle bag is Camo patterned, but the thing that screams tacticool more than my backpack is my ball cap, with its Velcro patch on the front, Camo pattern and BrimIt clips. One BrimIt clip is Molon Labe and the other is the Sig logo. If you saw me in the airport, you would probably roll your eyes and think to yourself, “What a dork.” Then you would immediately dismiss me and start scanning for someone who your spidey sense indicates may be a threat. What is the old adage, “What is better hidden than what is in plain sight.” Now let’s talk about you. You would set off my spidey sense so quickly it would make my head spin. You could carry the most indescript backpack, wear a button down dress shirt and khaki pants, and you would still scream “operator” to anyone familiar with your business. Now if you wore loafers with no socks, you just “might” make me discount you 😂, but probably not. Thanks for making these videos. I do find them very interesting. While I have never been an operator or in combat, I am very aware of the things that can indicate, “shoot me first.”
agree with point 1 but also it does not matter on how you bag looks when sh!t hits fan as anybody with big bag ends up as walking lootbox for someone else and thats the thing you need to have on mind all time and also if you didnt realised lot of "civil" companies or bag manufacturers adding fake molle webbing on their bags and those are impractical as they just looks as molle but really not have parameters of molle... btw if you dont want to ppl see your molle you can just add bag cover...
@@KusagiTsuki you’re not understanding the concepts shared here, my friend, I would highly recommend checking out the video I have here titled “the real Gray man theory for beginners“ I actually made that video specifically for people who needed a little bit more basic training before being able to understand this video… so once you watch that one, just go ahead and let me know and we can actually get into some valuable discussions. It will really be mind opening and life-changing for you to help you become much more effective in your daily endeavors.
I like that you mentioned 'big bag'. Other than somewhere like an airport, anyone carrying a big or full backpack is going to stand out, regardless of the style of pack. Where I live, molle style packs are used by school kids, gym goers and mums at the park, so are quite commonly seen. Around here, wearing odd pieces of camo clothing would usually classify a person as being from a lower socio-economic class.
My tourniquets are on my single point sling. I have a couple Strike Industries single/dual point slings. And I also have two Mollie II rucks. Not for public environments, kept in the back of the van.
I have a few molle back packs and I have a few bags that can attach to them. I keep my diabetic setup in a smaller bag that I attach to the main pack. I was unable to be in the military due to medical issues, but I still know how to keep a decent tactical kit. My winter diabetic kit has a red cross patch on it and it says diabetes on it. It sounds to me like you are just the type of person that is afraid of his own shadow.

I went to the hospital last month for a procedure, i took my HELIKON-TEX RATEL Mk2 Shadow Grey Backpack filled with my Get home gear and a change of clothes. I had my leather jacket, jeans and 5:11 boots on. The security guard said (are you a doctor starting here?) i said, i wish i was😂 i was just asking for the registration office, he was cool and told me where i needed to go. Didn't even asked me anything about my bag or contents.
Doesn't matter what I wear or carry. Last time I flew international I had a blue and gray hiking bag and the airport security still asked me if I'm military. On point 3, I've found attaching gear to the outside of my pack is very practical.

I don’t think you guys understand, he’s right. Also, if your response to this is “don’t tell me what to do! They’ll be scared of me” you absolutely have a mindset that will kill you. What he’s talking about is a very real special ops training subject called “grey man”. Whether it’s an enemy of the state, or the state itself, you want to blend in, it’s your advantage, you want to to move between crowds, cities, urban areas and not be singled out as capable. Any small amount of research would’ve told y’all that you want to blend in, you’re not scaring anyone away, you’re just getting shot first. Sturdy bug out bag is fine, but blatantly rocking that look is a luxury an advantaged combat force has, not you evading or trying to survive.
While I am doing what I can to help others and to make the world a better place it’s also helpful to us that this type of person makes them self a target so that those of us intelligent enough to better ourselves will survive
Problem is, he's saying what he's saying while looking like he's looking. It isn't going to be the backpack that this guy is carrying that gives him away. Conversely, I see pink haired obviously-dudes-trying-to-be-not-dudes here in Portland carrying molle bags all the time. Nobody, anywhere, ever thinks one of those marshmallows in a rainbow colored dress and fishnet leggings over xer cankles is going to be the prepper in the room, molle or no.
@@davidoftheforest no, just a foolish comment. But much appreciated. Would love to see you walking around town with a molle backpack with a bright blue cover on it 🤣 do a video on how that works out for you!
@@BoneTactical people are simple. In a crowd, they see blue, they think tourist or non-threat. Most civilian backpack shoulder straps have MOLLE webbing on them so it wouldn't look very unnatural especially if the cover is secured with shock cord so that it looks like a pack and not a cover. I don't understand why you think someone would suspect a blue or red or orange backpack cover, but I suppose that's why you're the expert

I would say the number one reason you should not buy a molle backpack is that you don’t need one. From a practical standpoint, there is no difference between a well constructed “normal” backpack and a molle backpack (and some of them are poorly constructed) other than you can attach molle pouches. And most pouches you would want to attach anyway only add unnecessary bulk to an already bulky object.

Nobody is trying to look like a soldier by simply using a military style backpack. Some of us like the look and quality. I got a huge digital camo backpack from my dad over 10 years ago and it still looks like new. It’s amazing quality and built well. If I buy normal backpacks they break or tear in a few months or a zipper breaks and it’s completely useless
@@disturbedpyro4511 That man is right! Besides it works for clothes too.I can pay once for a pair of trousers and wear them for 3 years or I can pay the same amount of money in a clothing shop with a normal clothing and need to buy another trousers because they have teared apart🤣
MOLLE is great if you need to add volume or use different pouch configurations, that’s what its design is for. #1 reason why not to use MOLLE is that all the MOLLE webbing adds WEIGHT. I have a few MOLLE packs and I am always amazed how much heavier they are side by side with other bags of equal volume. Yes, they have a distinctive look but to me it’s just backpack plug-n-play pouches. The worst is a MOLLE bag with 2-3 different patterns of fabric, THAT looks bad.

Here in the country where i live, it would mark you with a big fat red spot for corrupt police, and informants for state security if you have a hint of being a suspicious foreigner... i carry a non-descript gray backpack instead.
First this is a burner account haha, I’m not saying what you’re doing isn’t important, quite the opposite I applaud you…. But as owner of a grey man PMC domestically in the United States, after so many employees and trainings I truly think some will let pride be their downfall, just a brief of these comments shows pure ignorance(pride) and a general lack of knowledge and understanding that the odds of dying in these scenarios is almost absolute. Only those who except this and train and learn realize every little thing we can change and or perfect from voice to appearance will give us another % to live.
Putting things that are important in an easy to reach spot where it can't get lost is not stupid. A molle anything is great for extra storage and modularity in a shtf situation
Putting things that are important were you know they are inside your backpack and where they’re easy to get to as a great idea. Strapping them to the outside of your backpack where they are easy for thieves to get to anywhere if you are operating in a jungle environment or urban room, clearing or heavy foliage where they will get you stuck and likely get you killed is not such a good idea, especially when they are jingling and jangling around, but it’s always good that we have a few who are willing to use packed out MOLLE bags to be sacrificial lambs and take attention off the rest of us so that we can be successful
1* You can attach or detach items, depending on ur situation, You can have attachments ready for different situations &/or environments 2* Having stuff on the back makes it easier for quick access and and less hand movement. *3 Have a MOLLE peportion bag concealed in a specific area, if you don't want to draw attention. I would have a small MOLLE belt pouch hidden and ready for my situations

I have a karrimor SF 60-100 backpack for my camping/prepping trips, it's a Bergen style backpack so no molle on it. It has 2 big lateral pouches that can unite in a small backpack for casual trips. It looks weird as they're two vertical pouches attacked to a rig but it can take a lot of stuff inside.
I'm big into playing airsoft, so here's my take. When at a team event, i use my molle backpack as quick-to-improvise ghillie gear. I'm the event i need to hide my pack, or temporarily blend with wooded surroundings, I place foliage and branches into the molle loops. I mean, it also involves a boonie hat and my vest too, but even still. I'm a situation where you're in the woods, sometimes it's better to have a pack like that to remain undetected as long as possible. A solid colored pack screams "here i am"

I see what you mean. Wearing a MOLLE even as a civilian prepper/survivalist obviously has a military or law enforcement association (profiling) whether it is intentional or unintentional. Meaning that you risk becoming easily targeted by the country’s opposing forces or hostile groups. It could also make you stand out in civilian settings, raise your perceived value, and make people form assumptions about its contents. So, it’s probably best to avoid any unnecessary attention to lower your risks of being singled out. Some people imagine the typical survival scenario of being stranded by themselves in the wilderness where your appearance doesn’t matter, but that’s not the only scenario that can happen.
You’ve got a great head on your shoulders young man. Most people have a hard time even understanding the most basic concepts discussed here that directly affect their everyday lives, but you are clearly very perceptive. Stay sharp, and God bless.
In my city, where most folks spend time outdoors, head out of town for camping/hiking/portaging, thousands of daily bicycle commuters, with 10s of thousands of more casual cyclists, there's molle packs everywhere you go. Heck even the skaters wear nikeSB(skateboarding) packs covered in molle. Then you have the anarchists and punks who get surplus gear with molle webbing, not for 'tacticool' reasons but typically because they're broke. So I don't think having a molle backpack betrays the greyman principle where I live.
The backpack is just part of the overall concept, and only one indicator. The point here is that a Molly backpack does not translate to multiple environments and although you might be able to get away with it in certain specified situations for certain specified individuals, there are just much better options!
Yes! I've been saying this for a while now I think this trend is so stupid. The molle is supposed to make it tactical but the molle is the only thing that makes it tactical and 90% of people don't use it, they just use the velcro for patches

It really depends on what part of the world you’re in. In my country, no one cares if you have MOLLE backpack on, probably because the outdoor segment of backpacks are saturated with cheap Chinese made tactical backpacks. This is pretty much an American problem, but not so much for some if not most parts of the world.

Tbh it just shows you don’t really understand how much backpacks have evolved. Even Japan love different backpacks with molle for hiking, camping and outdoors. Not everyone goes out and looks for “where are the military and law enforcement” when looking at bags. Also there’s military bags without molle that can utilize just buckles and straps or just zippers. Molle is generally adopted in backpackers because you can do more with less. Also… would it really matter if that person had a really small molle backpack… another factor is there’s different kinds like if that molle backpack looks dirt cheap like they got it from ROSS versus a $300 backpack
I’m sorry that you overspent on your backpack and are looking for a way to justify it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t change the fact that less than one percent of people in the world use MOLLE backpacks which makes them easily profiled as members of the military and/or fools 👊🏼
I'm in Hampton Roads VA. Civilians, Active Duty, Vets, and retirees...along with LEO and FFs...all have molle packs especially for the extra potential of more storage. Members of all branches are out here. Good luck choosing the wrong individual. 😂😂😂
They are generally heavier then normal hiking gear. Unless you use it, don't have it. I am looking at Molle bags because I am moving items between bags for different trips. It would be nice to be able to see at a glance if I have my first aid kit with me among other things.

Yeah, people make the same argument against open caring a Pistol. Don’t say the bad guy will see you and kill you immediately. I don’t think that’s the case. Statistics don’t prove that out. I think the same thing with wearing anything that might look remotely tactical. I don’t think it makes you a target. That’s not what people are looking for even bad guys looking to do harm. They’re looking for the easy target.
Anyone who open carries a pistol has little to no real tactical knowledge of solo operations. Common sense is all you need to know that the element of surprise is your biggest advantage in many situations, followed by being able to act instead of react. You literally take yourself out of the fight by open, carrying if you are alone, or even in a small man team, when you don’t have to open carry, or when you can maintain the element of surprise. Again, extremely basic common sense stuff here, and anyone who would argue these points does not have the ability to implement tactics or subterfuge.
I carry my small assault pack on airliners. When I fly through the Middle East, I always get searched "randomly" from top to bottom. I don't even care. I think it's funny. People get waved through with baggy clothes, burqas, hijabs, etc., and I'm over here practically getting strip searched because I have a MOLLE. They usually swab me for gun powder, too. 😆
So Cal LEO here: Same thing goes with the “shoot me first” fanny pack. And any pro 2A decals on your car indicate you have a collection of firearms at your house, which I’ve located off the registration in your glove box.
Been studying homeless encampments and those in them. Screamers are avoided but remembered, while those quietly mumbling to themselves are forgotten by the next corner. Grayman tactics are good but a more, out of the box adaptability is paramount. You want to be innocuous or at least easily forgettable. Never underestimate the power of a filthy, ratty, duct taped, "Hello Kitty" child's backpack. Get in, get what you need and get out. This is one thought of disguise, remember adaptability. Recon your target area, take note of what works and what draws attention.
I have tried to explain this to people, but some just won't listen. If you look like a threat, you will be taken out from a safe distance before you have a chance to warn them about your 3 years of taekwondo.
So many people have such a hard time with this concept! It makes it worse that they’ve invested in gear that’s not helpful to them! Rather than admit that they were wrong and do better they prefer to defend their position even after they’ve noticed they were wrong and seen the better way. It hard for us to admit we’ve wasted money and been doing it wrong sometimes!
gray man is superior to tactical in most civilian situations. also, use what you got when in an emergency. no one will question a tactical pack after an major earthquake.
Grayman theory is truly relevant. Ask any Iraqi Insurgent, Afghani Insurgent, whomever fights wars like this. Gorilla Tactics and Grayman, 1000%. Those guys took on the US military in near full force for decades. I fought in Iraq twice. I would know. People should really be looking into Grayman Theory. If you want to survive, this is how you do it. I was always told this, "To beat the devil, it is terribly important you give him no advance notice." If anyone thinks Grayman is not plausible, then they have another thing coming. Grayman is entirely plausible, and I have personally dealt with it. We'll put it this way. While I was in Iraq, during my first tour, I was tasked with a rotation at an outpost. Some knucklehead called over the radio about a possible car bomb. Here was the description he gave. "Iraqi male, long beard, wearing white garb, traveling in a white car with orange corner panels." The rest of the units in the area said, "You literally just described every-single-taxi driver in Iraq. Good job!" 😂
Like you pointed out profiling. Too many folks dont take that into consideration. Maybe they just wanna look cool in front of others but if ur getting stuff for an actually real situation, you dont want to look like ur geared. U may think ur big & bad & no one will mess with you but its the opposite, ur a bigger target now bc u got nice things man.
It’s not about whether people care or not. It’s about presenting yourself as correctly as possible to be successful in your daily endeavors. And it always depends on where you are definitely check out the real greyman theory playlist hit here on my channel for more information. The first rule of operations is know your AO!
Valid however everything is mission dependent. In a wilderness survival setting where I’m trying to evade whoever, I’m taking the molle back pack due to how much easier it will be to conceal because of all the anchor points. You can stuff the molle with vegetation, tie down camo netting, or even both if you got the time. You are 100% right though when it comes down to urban evasion especially through checkpoints. You want to blend in with the general population as much as humanly possible. At the end of the day, so long as you have situational awareness, you might be alright.
So much space can be saved attaching things like towels, water bottles, rain ponchos to the outside, also makes them very easy to access. Also why am I worried about getting attacked? 99.9999% just want to go on with their own day peacefully. You make it sound like as soon as you get off any plane you are going to be a target.
You should probably be a lot more worried about being unsuccessful in your daily endeavors because you look like a crazy person with all kinds of crap attached to your backpack and then, if you do ever get in any kind of a situation where you need to be Tactical, all of the same crap attached to your backpack will get you stuck and held up, which could also cost you your life in a combat situation
I agree with hanging s*** on the outside of your backpack is stupid, the purpose of having a backpack is to put things inside. In a straight-up combat situation I can see the advantage but not in your everyday carry

I'm just gonna throw my opinion in for the fun of it, but i think they are cool bags and if you had a black one u may not standard out as much but in a shtf situation anyone with a backpack would draw attention, anyone in camo would draw attention, reason 1 to own a molle bag is it's good for camping, you can attach a bundle of small sticks or twigs to help start a fire, you can carry an axe or machete, you can attach canteen water bottles, pouches if u run out of room, hiking poles, jackets, sleeping bags or whatever u need
Thank you for your opinion. The seed has been planted on “the real grey man theory” and I hope you water it and let it grow into knowledge and skills to help you in your future endeavors.
I respectfully disagree. It truly depends on the environment you’re in, and potential threat level around you that will dictate your pack out/equip. needed to be readily accessible on the outside of your gear.

Sounds reasonable.
You must have been a SEAL.
Preppers already know they’re a target.
You would think that they should!
Cool thinking 😊
Molle backpack or not, this is my point exactly 😂
I am black and stand with the Lord. So, I am already a very big target regardless if I am a grey man or not. Regarding tactics in this situation. You might as well need to wear whatever tactical gear , fire arms that can stand out because you're going to be attacked regardless.. tactical gear does give intimidation look because most likely you know what you are doing. I'd rather have people be scared of me then not be scared of me.
Use what works... the whole Grey man thing is overrated and just another term you tubers use... all but 1 of my packs are all.military surplus.. not worried about what other think...
“Looks dumb” is not an objective reason. It’s an opinion.
Thank you
You are right! Absolutely. Looking like an idiot is subjective and as subjective as it is, it can greatly limit your effectiveness in any endeavor
@@BoneTacticalno it looks cool so yea it’s just your opinion
except that everyone uses MOLLE packs now, so even a fat, out of shape person carrying a MOLLE pack is NEVER going to be mistaken as military
The actual fact is that less than one percent of the population of the world has a MOLLE backpack… you may want to challenge what the malfunction in your brain is that is causing you to think “everyone has one”….
@@BoneTactical the only brain malfuntion is that yours doesn't understand inference, clearly I don't mean LITERALLY everyone. and I'd happily challenge this "Fact" you refer to. where exactly to you obtain this "fact" that only 1% have molle?

Reason number 1 why i use a molle backpack: it's what i got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
😢
Don't feel bad. When my older brother got out he decided he didn't any of his take home and was gonna toss. I scooped that shit and have been using his old "day pack" for better part of 15 yrs now. Sometimes take the deconstructed ruck when I got deep woods hunting for the week but generally don't even need that much space anymore. Use what you have if you have no choice, upgrade when you can.
Molle is great, this guy's a phony. It's like ripstop on steroids for the big on top of just being cool looking.
Something i dont understand is how a molle pack isn't translatable to multiple environments but some how a regular pack is.
If you still couldn’t understand that after watching this video, then I have a full in-depth video on tactical backpacks for you!
@@BoneTactical okay ill be sure to give it a watch thanks.
You go into a buisness meeting, a kindergarden, a hospital, a bank, ... with a molle backpack, you look wrong in this environment. Like you are lost or an intruder. With a normal backpack like an Eastpak or a buisness backpack - you fit into the environment. It's like having a shotgun over your shoulder. In the woods or and the range - perfect environment. Everywhere else - not fitting into the environment.
Bullshit, I've used Molle packs for years including work. And nobody gives a shit.
@@johan.ohgren This! Even my wife has one nowadays, they're pretty common. You won't stick out.

"Not translatable into multiple environments" You'll have to explain that one, I have no idea what you were even trying to say there....with MOLLE I would argue it is the most versatile for hauling different gear for different environments. Backpacking, hiking, camping, overnight motorcycle trips, etc. Putting stuff on the outside isn't practical? What? Where do you put your Nalgene holders then? Where do you attach your wet gear to dry out while hiking then? Where do you attach additional pouches to hold more inventory? Do you even do outdoor activities? My FILBE was $50, is tough as nails, and will last me a lifetime. Good luck with your overpriced hipster pack.
Urban environments, where modern human beings spend 99% of their lives surrounded by other human beings. This is where MOLLE is not translatable. Unless you’re in a uniformed military troop movement, it’s not a good idea. Check out “the real greyman theory” to take your tactics to the next level 👊🏼
@BoneTactical but that's not "multiple environments" like you said in the video. That's urban environment.
@@ConnorT.ya, he’s just yapping. He’s just trying to get as many words in as possible. No matter the backpack type, if you have one on the enemy force will see u as a threat. Does a Molle backpack help? No but there’s not much difference
Interesting points, I mainly use military packs for my gear since most civilian backpacks wear out quickly. I guess it really depends on the environment, if you live in a city than it’s probably gonna stand out more, I live in a small town in the south of USA and everyone here owns something with camo print 😂. It also depends on the situation, if we’re talking full on apocalypse then I don’t see the point in caring about the color of packs, most people would be too scared and would hide out in their homes at first, they wouldn’t come out until they needed something, after a week everyone who didn’t prepare would be dead only leaving those who did prepare left which would decrease the need for caring about stuff like bag color since everyone you meet would most likely be a prepper/fellow survivalist.
Friendly prepper tip: when the tap runs out, pull from your water heater. Should buy you at least another week :)

👇Every one with an Alice rucksack
You should’ve started with “ it just looks dumb”
I care about functionality, you care about looks. Yut.
You should care about looks if you want to be successful at anything you set up to do…
I agree with the first point. But that's more situation and environment rather than a negative point. If you want to be inconspicuous, use an inconspicuous backpack. If you want to be tactical and equip/attach multiple things to be prepared for more/dangerous situations, use the tactical MOLLE backpack.
Yes my friend you’re getting there! Give yourself time to process and then integrate this information into your tactical systems to become more effective👊🏼
What do you mean its not translatable in multiple environments? I legit dont understand and am looking for clarification just so that's clear. In my opinion i think the "it makes you a target" idea is nonsense. Now a days i could where a shirt that says "i am literally carrying a gun bang bang i wanna be a hero look at me." And i guarantee you no one would bat an eye. Molle is on everything and it doesnt get any attention. I know people say that criminals are different but i just dont believe it. Please feel free to prove me wrong by showing me cases where armed civilians were targeted. I dont think you can go wrong by blending in but i am just not convinced these things matter. Just my 2 cents that no one asked for.
Definitely check out the video titled “the real Gray man theory for beginners” it explains everything you are confused about
I was looking for anyone’s 2 cents so it was definitely asked for.
This guy is just a twit who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He thinks that wearing a MOLLE backpack as a civilian is a big deal, when really no one gives a flying F
I live within 20 miles of the Pentagon and two military installations. I don't stick out with my MOLLE backpack around here lol.
I think you misunderstood the video Jim. It’s not about whether you stick out or not, it’s about whether or not your MOLLE backpack will help you be more effective in your daily life and better meet your goals, or whether it will be detrimental to your success. The details matter, my friend don’t cheat the little things. Have a great week.
Profiled: Ok the "Terrorist" will target me but if i go in a bank i get in and i get tf out, i dont stick around specially if someone is shifting, looking at camera and shit.
Looks dumb: Fucking subjective wtf???
Not translatable to other environment:..... the fuck does this mean jimmy??
Extra: I can hook my 8L bag and my camping gear on it.

I've had a molle strap backpack for the last four or five years and I love hanging all my equipment on the outside on the molle. It is very handy, plus mines all camoed out so.
Thank you for your service, sir
for poorly trained or untrained low level military grunts MOLLE is practical absolutely. Not for the people using it but for the government paying to equip the disposable soldiers. Once an operator gains a little experience he learns that jingling and jangling around like the Beverly hillbillies with crap strapped all over the outside of his pack that can get caught during room clearing or in heavy brush is possible to get him killed… thanks for showing your level of skill (or lack thereof)! It’s important for us to see how ignorant the common English speaking person is in our modern times so we can make more basic videos that are able to be understood by the average person. Sorry this was over your head young man, check out “the real gray man theory for beginners video” to develop entry level tactical knowledge and progress towards being able to understand the basic concepts shared in this video 👊🏼
@BoneTactical Good advice 👊
As a military aviator, I agree with your first point to a certain degree.
Whenever we go to certain countries we are advised to blend in and not stand out as this would make us more likely to be a target.
However, for the average civilian I don’t think this matters much considering I always see people wearing tactical gear back in the states and most people don’t care about it.
It is most definitely situational the dependent, and as a military aviator, they may brief you on some of the basics, but you would greatly benefit from checking out my videos on the real Greyman theory. If you ever find yourself going down behind enemy lines, my playlist there or survival, escape and evasion could save your life. 👊🏼
When you go to foreign countries...limit the use of ball caps. Those would make you stand-out more than anything else.
I wear my molle II rucksacks everywhere, and have yet to be "taken out"! It is bulletproof, and modular so completely adapts to any situation, though it is heavy...
Well, generally speaking, when you enter a situation where you have the potential of being taken out, you don’t get a second chance, and you don’t get to brag on TH-cam about having survived it. I am simply sharing some facts to help some of the people who would like to learn the ability to survive such a non-permissive environments.
Where I’m from, people don’t really ever carry a backpack.
So just by carrying one, in this situation, you’re probably going to be profiled.
Yes, if no one is carrying a backpack just having one will get you profiled. Absolutely. That’s why I keep one in my vehicle, office, home, etc. ready to go. People carry backpacks when the situation requires it, so carrying a backpack when you need one will be normal. Busy city streets, gym, coffee shops, airports, busses, taxis, train stations and public transport… even offices and job sites. They all have people carrying backpacks. And unless you’re on a uniformed military op or in the woods with no one around… a MOLLE backpack will be one of the worst options 👊🏼
Thought the exact same thing when I was building my pepper pack. However a military backpack is compatible with body armor. So u can attach it to ur vest or even stick a plate in the pouch inside it on mine. Which will protect my stuff (water, radio etc) from getting holes in them.
Yes! I have several videos on body armor as well. That will really help you with your planning and prepping, as well as to realize that both military backpacks and military body armor are very near the bottom of the list of recommended items for US civilians inside the US
Good looking pups
For sure!
Greg, Everything you said about Molle backpacks is absolutely true, [but] I have to admit I am “that guy”. Now with that said let me explain. I have three molle backpacks and they all do a different duty. One goes from my house to the car and stays no further way from me than a chair in my house, the backseat of my Subaru or my hotel room. I have a ton of things on the exterior of my EDC molle bag; e.g. hard sunglass case, IFAK & tourniquet, S-hooks, carabiners, gloves and anything that I may need easily.
My range molle bag carries everything that I will need for whatever range trip I am doing. I much prefer a backpack over the standard range bag. It is one less thing I have to carry in my hands. Furthermore, it is larger than most standard range bags.
My travel molle bag is one of my carryons when I fly and you would notice it immediately. It is loaded with enough clothes and other essentials so that I can complete my trip even if my check luggage doesn’t make it. My travel molle bag is Camo patterned, but the thing that screams tacticool more than my backpack is my ball cap, with its Velcro patch on the front, Camo pattern and BrimIt clips. One BrimIt clip is Molon Labe and the other is the Sig logo. If you saw me in the airport, you would probably roll your eyes and think to yourself, “What a dork.” Then you would immediately dismiss me and start scanning for someone who your spidey sense indicates may be a threat. What is the old adage, “What is better hidden than what is in plain sight.”
Now let’s talk about you. You would set off my spidey sense so quickly it would make my head spin. You could carry the most indescript backpack, wear a button down dress shirt and khaki pants, and you would still scream “operator” to anyone familiar with your business. Now if you wore loafers with no socks, you just “might” make me discount you 😂, but probably not. Thanks for making these videos. I do find them very interesting. While I have never been an operator or in combat, I am very aware of the things that can indicate, “shoot me first.”
Glad I could help you get it the next level brother! Stay sharp !
agree with point 1 but also it does not matter on how you bag looks when sh!t hits fan as anybody with big bag ends up as walking lootbox for someone else and thats the thing you need to have on mind all time
and also if you didnt realised lot of "civil" companies or bag manufacturers adding fake molle webbing on their bags and those are impractical as they just looks as molle but really not have parameters of molle...
btw if you dont want to ppl see your molle you can just add bag cover...
@@KusagiTsuki you’re not understanding the concepts shared here, my friend, I would highly recommend checking out the video I have here titled “the real Gray man theory for beginners“ I actually made that video specifically for people who needed a little bit more basic training before being able to understand this video… so once you watch that one, just go ahead and let me know and we can actually get into some valuable discussions. It will really be mind opening and life-changing for you to help you become much more effective in your daily endeavors.
I like that you mentioned 'big bag'. Other than somewhere like an airport, anyone carrying a big or full backpack is going to stand out, regardless of the style of pack.
Where I live, molle style packs are used by school kids, gym goers and mums at the park, so are quite commonly seen.
Around here, wearing odd pieces of camo clothing would usually classify a person as being from a lower socio-economic class.
My tourniquets are on my single point sling. I have a couple Strike Industries single/dual point slings. And I also have two Mollie II rucks. Not for public environments, kept in the back of the van.
They can be used in rural environments for sure! Just not the best option since they’re unnecessarily heavy and usually have terrible water resistance
its like wearing 5.11 pants shirts or glasses. people think your leo or have a gun.
Exactly
I have a few molle back packs and I have a few bags that can attach to them. I keep my diabetic setup in a smaller bag that I attach to the main pack. I was unable to be in the military due to medical issues, but I still know how to keep a decent tactical kit. My winter diabetic kit has a red cross patch on it and it says diabetes on it. It sounds to me like you are just the type of person that is afraid of his own shadow.

Also, if your response to this is “don’t tell me what to do! They’ll be scared of me” you absolutely have a mindset that will kill you.
What he’s talking about is a very real special ops training subject called “grey man”.
Whether it’s an enemy of the state, or the state itself, you want to blend in, it’s your advantage, you want to to move between crowds, cities, urban areas and not be singled out as capable.
Any small amount of research would’ve told y’all that you want to blend in, you’re not scaring anyone away, you’re just getting shot first.
Sturdy bug out bag is fine, but blatantly rocking that look is a luxury an advantaged combat force has, not you evading or trying to survive.
While I am doing what I can to help others and to make the world a better place it’s also helpful to us that this type of person makes them self a target so that those of us intelligent enough to better ourselves will survive
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
Problem is, he's saying what he's saying while looking like he's looking. It isn't going to be the backpack that this guy is carrying that gives him away.

@@BoneTactical people are simple. In a crowd, they see blue, they think tourist or non-threat. Most civilian backpack shoulder straps have MOLLE webbing on them so it wouldn't look very unnatural especially if the cover is secured with shock cord so that it looks like a pack and not a cover. I don't understand why you think someone would suspect a blue or red or orange backpack cover, but I suppose that's why you're the expert

I would say the number one reason you should not buy a molle backpack is that you don’t need one. From a practical standpoint, there is no difference between a well constructed “normal” backpack and a molle backpack (and some of them are poorly constructed) other than you can attach molle pouches. And most pouches you would want to attach anyway only add unnecessary bulk to an already bulky object.
@@zeus907 incorrect. There are major differences in design and construction. MOLLE backpacks are heavier, and less waterproof.

Why are you acting as if simply wearing a MOLLE backpack is equivalent to "looking like a soldier"?

Nobody is trying to look like a soldier by simply using a military style backpack. Some of us like the look and quality. I got a huge digital camo backpack from my dad over 10 years ago and it still looks like new. It’s amazing quality and built well. If I buy normal backpacks they break or tear in a few months or a zipper breaks and it’s completely useless
@@disturbedpyro4511 That man is right! Besides it works for clothes too.I can pay once for a pair of trousers and wear them for 3 years or I can pay the same amount of money in a clothing shop with a normal clothing and need to buy another trousers because they have teared apart🤣
MOLLE is great if you need to add volume or use different pouch configurations, that’s what its design is for.
#1 reason why not to use MOLLE is that all the MOLLE webbing adds WEIGHT.
I have a few MOLLE packs and I am always amazed how much heavier they are side by side with other bags of equal volume.
Yes, they have a distinctive look but to me it’s just backpack plug-n-play pouches.
The worst is a MOLLE bag with 2-3 different patterns of fabric, THAT looks bad.

Esto que mencionas es totalmente cierto, soy de Latinoamérica y si pasas por frontera ilegalmente y alguna guerrilla te ve algo de uso táctico ten por seguro que te dispararán, incluso usar algo de color verde militar te hace un blanco bastante llamativo, conozco casos reales de muertes ocurridas así. Haces buen contenido, saludos.
Exacto
Si
The puppies are so adorable.
Absolutely!
Here in the country where i live, it would mark you with a big fat red spot for corrupt police, and informants for state security if you have a hint of being a suspicious foreigner... i carry a non-descript gray backpack instead.

Yep 🤣🤣
@@BoneTactical Thank you for the comment! I love your channel and I have 3 items on your website in my cart as soon as the money train arrives!
I close my eyes and can't help but hear the warrior poet guy.
I’ve heard that he’s a big fan
First this is a burner account haha, I’m not saying what you’re doing isn’t important, quite the opposite I applaud you….
But as owner of a grey man PMC domestically in the United States, after so many employees and trainings I truly think some will let pride be their downfall, just a brief of these comments shows pure ignorance(pride) and a general lack of knowledge and understanding that the odds of dying in these scenarios is almost absolute.
Only those who except this and train and learn realize every little thing we can change and or perfect from voice to appearance will give us another % to live.
Yes indeed, thanks for stopping by
Listen and learn, you might learn something, beware of your environment.
Good advice 🤌🏼
Wise words.
Indeed, thank you🙏🏻
Putting things that are important in an easy to reach spot where it can't get lost is not stupid. A molle anything is great for extra storage and modularity in a shtf situation
Putting things that are important were you know they are inside your backpack and where they’re easy to get to as a great idea. Strapping them to the outside of your backpack where they are easy for thieves to get to anywhere if you are operating in a jungle environment or urban room, clearing or heavy foliage where they will get you stuck and likely get you killed is not such a good idea, especially when they are jingling and jangling around, but it’s always good that we have a few who are willing to use packed out MOLLE bags to be sacrificial lambs and take attention off the rest of us so that we can be successful
1* You can attach or detach items, depending on ur situation, You can have attachments ready for different situations &/or environments
2* Having stuff on the back makes it easier for quick access and and less hand movement.
*3 Have a MOLLE peportion bag concealed in a specific area, if you don't want to draw attention.
I would have a small MOLLE belt pouch hidden and ready for my situations
@@ButteredToastVid for poorly trained or untrained low level military grunts MOLLE is practical absolutely. Not for the people using it but for the government paying to equip the disposable soldiers. Once an operator gains a little experience he learns that jingling and jangling around like the Beverly hillbillies with crap strapped all over the outside of his pack that can get caught during room clearing or in heavy brush is possible to get him killed… thanks for showing your level of skill (or lack thereof)! It’s important for us to see how ignorant the common English speaking person is in our modern times so we can make more basic videos that are able to be understood by the average person. Sorry this was over your head young man, check out “the real gray man theory for beginners video” to develop entry level tactical knowledge and progress towards being able to understand the basic concepts shared in this video 👊🏼
I have a karrimor SF 60-100 backpack for my camping/prepping trips, it's a Bergen style backpack so no molle on it. It has 2 big lateral pouches that can unite in a small backpack for casual trips. It looks weird as they're two vertical pouches attacked to a rig but it can take a lot of stuff inside.
I have one as well it’s not a bad pack
I argue against reason 3 because having the ability to add more spaces to your backpack is useful. If it helps then it’s not dumb.
If it gets caught on stuff like doorways or heavy brush and gets you killed is it stupid?
@@BoneTactical I’ve worn a school backpack that has gotten caught up in foliage before when exploring the woods. My clothes also got caught up.
@@christhemonkey7867 yes it happens as you learn and develop the experience to know what works and what doesn’t young man 👊🏼
I'm big into playing airsoft, so here's my take. When at a team event, i use my molle backpack as quick-to-improvise ghillie gear. I'm the event i need to hide my pack, or temporarily blend with wooded surroundings, I place foliage and branches into the molle loops. I mean, it also involves a boonie hat and my vest too, but even still. I'm a situation where you're in the woods, sometimes it's better to have a pack like that to remain undetected as long as possible. A solid colored pack screams "here i am"

I see what you mean. Wearing a MOLLE even as a civilian prepper/survivalist obviously has a military or law enforcement association (profiling) whether it is intentional or unintentional. Meaning that you risk becoming easily targeted by the country’s opposing forces or hostile groups. It could also make you stand out in civilian settings, raise your perceived value, and make people form assumptions about its contents. So, it’s probably best to avoid any unnecessary attention to lower your risks of being singled out. Some people imagine the typical survival scenario of being stranded by themselves in the wilderness where your appearance doesn’t matter, but that’s not the only scenario that can happen.
You’ve got a great head on your shoulders young man. Most people have a hard time even understanding the most basic concepts discussed here that directly affect their everyday lives, but you are clearly very perceptive. Stay sharp, and God bless.
In my city, where most folks spend time outdoors, head out of town for camping/hiking/portaging, thousands of daily bicycle commuters, with 10s of thousands of more casual cyclists, there's molle packs everywhere you go. Heck even the skaters wear nikeSB(skateboarding) packs covered in molle. Then you have the anarchists and punks who get surplus gear with molle webbing, not for 'tacticool' reasons but typically because they're broke. So I don't think having a molle backpack betrays the greyman principle where I live.
The backpack is just part of the overall concept, and only one indicator. The point here is that a Molly backpack does not translate to multiple environments and although you might be able to get away with it in certain specified situations for certain specified individuals, there are just much better options!
Yes! I've been saying this for a while now I think this trend is so stupid. The molle is supposed to make it tactical but the molle is the only thing that makes it tactical and 90% of people don't use it, they just use the velcro for patches

It really depends on what part of the world you’re in. In my country, no one cares if you have MOLLE backpack on, probably because the outdoor segment of backpacks are saturated with cheap Chinese made tactical backpacks. This is pretty much an American problem, but not so much for some if not most parts of the world.
It’s important to remember that, even if you don’t understand the way that the world works around you, the world keeps on working the way it does. I recently published a new video on my playlist titled “the real Gray man theory” that you would find very helpful and enlightening.
I disagree about the profiling. If you are bugging out for shtf, you always assume the people near you are your enemies regardless of age or size.
It’s not about agree or disagree young man… there are people out here with the skills to read you like a book. You don’t have to understand it for it to affect you. I’m planting the seed of knowledge here, if you have the ability to learn and grow… check out my teachings on “the real greyman theory”
Never wear camo, never use ex-military equipment, never look prepared. Never look like you have useable resources or are a valid target.
Unfortunately you misinterpreted the video… never say never… there’s a time and a place for everything young man.
Fantastic video, and puppies too.

Tbh it just shows you don’t really understand how much backpacks have evolved.
Even Japan love different backpacks with molle for hiking, camping and outdoors. Not everyone goes out and looks for “where are the military and law enforcement” when looking at bags.
Also there’s military bags without molle that can utilize just buckles and straps or just zippers.
Molle is generally adopted in backpackers because you can do more with less.
Also… would it really matter if that person had a really small molle backpack… another factor is there’s different kinds like if that molle backpack looks dirt cheap like they got it from ROSS versus a $300 backpack
I’m sorry that you overspent on your backpack and are looking for a way to justify it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t change the fact that less than one percent of people in the world use MOLLE backpacks which makes them easily profiled as members of the military and/or fools 👊🏼
I'm in Hampton Roads VA. Civilians, Active Duty, Vets, and retirees...along with LEO and FFs...all have molle packs especially for the extra potential of more storage. Members of all branches are out here. Good luck choosing the wrong individual. 😂😂😂
Yes, all dead giveaways… thanks for making my point 👊🏼
They are generally heavier then normal hiking gear. Unless you use it, don't have it. I am looking at Molle bags because I am moving items between bags for different trips. It would be nice to be able to see at a glance if I have my first aid kit with me among other things.

Yeah tactical gear looks cool in movies. I try to look as normal as I can. No punisher skulls and other nonsense
Good call 👊🏼
Yeah, people make the same argument against open caring a Pistol. Don’t say the bad guy will see you and kill you immediately. I don’t think that’s the case. Statistics don’t prove that out. I think the same thing with wearing anything that might look remotely tactical. I don’t think it makes you a target. That’s not what people are looking for even bad guys looking to do harm. They’re looking for the easy target.
Anyone who open carries a pistol has little to no real tactical knowledge of solo operations. Common sense is all you need to know that the element of surprise is your biggest advantage in many situations, followed by being able to act instead of react. You literally take yourself out of the fight by open, carrying if you are alone, or even in a small man team, when you don’t have to open carry, or when you can maintain the element of surprise. Again, extremely basic common sense stuff here, and anyone who would argue these points does not have the ability to implement tactics or subterfuge.
Came for the bag stayed for the pups
You got lucky 👊🏼
The more every day issue with profiling is how ive had to tell dozens of people at work that I'm not in the service when they assume and ask
You’re absolutely right! The everyday profiling is the biggest issue, and most people don’t even begin to understand the concept.
All of the normies are getting upset in the comments.🤣🤣🤣 Don't try to take away their molly packs.
I carry my small assault pack on airliners. When I fly through the Middle East, I always get searched "randomly" from top to bottom. I don't even care. I think it's funny. People get waved through with baggy clothes, burqas, hijabs, etc., and I'm over here practically getting strip searched because I have a MOLLE. They usually swab me for gun powder, too. 😆
Now imagine if your life depended on not being singled out that way!
So Cal LEO here: Same thing goes with the “shoot me first” fanny pack. And any pro 2A decals on your car indicate you have a collection of firearms at your house, which I’ve located off the registration in your glove box.
Indeed
Been studying homeless encampments and those in them. Screamers are avoided but remembered, while those quietly mumbling to themselves are forgotten by the next corner. Grayman tactics are good but a more, out of the box adaptability is paramount. You want to be innocuous or at least easily forgettable. Never underestimate the power of a filthy, ratty, duct taped, "Hello Kitty" child's backpack. Get in, get what you need and get out. This is one thought of disguise, remember adaptability. Recon your target area, take note of what works and what draws attention.
If you really want to take your tactics to the next level, check out “the real gray man theory” and prepare to have your mind blown
I have tried to explain this to people, but some just won't listen. If you look like a threat, you will be taken out from a safe distance before you have a chance to warn them about your 3 years of taekwondo.
So many people have such a hard time with this concept! It makes it worse that they’ve invested in gear that’s not helpful to them! Rather than admit that they were wrong and do better they prefer to defend their position even after they’ve noticed they were wrong and seen the better way. It hard for us to admit we’ve wasted money and been doing it wrong sometimes!
gray man is superior to tactical in most civilian situations. also, use what you got when in an emergency. no one will question a tactical pack after an major earthquake.
If you think Grey man is awesome wait to you learn about “the real gray man theory”!!
Grayman theory is truly relevant. Ask any Iraqi Insurgent, Afghani Insurgent, whomever fights wars like this. Gorilla Tactics and Grayman, 1000%. Those guys took on the US military in near full force for decades. I fought in Iraq twice. I would know. People should really be looking into Grayman Theory. If you want to survive, this is how you do it. I was always told this, "To beat the devil, it is terribly important you give him no advance notice." If anyone thinks Grayman is not plausible, then they have another thing coming. Grayman is entirely plausible, and I have personally dealt with it. We'll put it this way. While I was in Iraq, during my first tour, I was tasked with a rotation at an outpost. Some knucklehead called over the radio about a possible car bomb. Here was the description he gave. "Iraqi male, long beard, wearing white garb, traveling in a white car with orange corner panels." The rest of the units in the area said, "You literally just described every-single-taxi driver in Iraq. Good job!" 😂
Absolutely and if you find the gray man theory relevant, you should check out “the real gray man theory“ and you will find it truly enlightening
Like you pointed out profiling. Too many folks dont take that into consideration. Maybe they just wanna look cool in front of others but if ur getting stuff for an actually real situation, you dont want to look like ur geared. U may think ur big & bad & no one will mess with you but its the opposite, ur a bigger target now bc u got nice things man.
Too many sheep don’t understand what’s going on around them in the minds of intelligent people!
It depends on where you live and the situation If you live close to a military base people don't even Care
It’s not about whether people care or not. It’s about presenting yourself as correctly as possible to be successful in your daily endeavors. And it always depends on where you are definitely check out the real greyman theory playlist hit here on my channel for more information. The first rule of operations is know your AO!
Valid however everything is mission dependent. In a wilderness survival setting where I’m trying to evade whoever, I’m taking the molle back pack due to how much easier it will be to conceal because of all the anchor points. You can stuff the molle with vegetation, tie down camo netting, or even both if you got the time. You are 100% right though when it comes down to urban evasion especially through checkpoints. You want to blend in with the general population as much as humanly possible. At the end of the day, so long as you have situational awareness, you might be alright.
Well said 👊🏼
Just throw a rain cover over your backpack and they won't know. 🤷♂️
If looking homeless is your goal that will work!
Omg bro your puppies are all I could focus on here…
What were you saying about a bag or something ?
😂🙏
Such a good assessment here, this is why most people that got a molle backpack used it one time and then hid it in their closet.
Thank you my friend. Most people can’t even understand what I’m saying here! 🤯
@@BoneTacticalif only Crooks would have had a molle backpack maybe the Secret Service would have profiled him correctly. 😂

So much space can be saved attaching things like towels, water bottles, rain ponchos to the outside, also makes them very easy to access.
Also why am I worried about getting attacked? 99.9999% just want to go on with their own day peacefully. You make it sound like as soon as you get off any plane you are going to be a target.
You should probably be a lot more worried about being unsuccessful in your daily endeavors because you look like a crazy person with all kinds of crap attached to your backpack and then, if you do ever get in any kind of a situation where you need to be Tactical, all of the same crap attached to your backpack will get you stuck and held up, which could also cost you your life in a combat situation
I agree with hanging s*** on the outside of your backpack is stupid, the purpose of having a backpack is to put things inside. In a straight-up combat situation I can see the advantage but not in your everyday carry

So simple and so well said!
I'm just gonna throw my opinion in for the fun of it, but i think they are cool bags and if you had a black one u may not standard out as much but in a shtf situation anyone with a backpack would draw attention, anyone in camo would draw attention, reason 1 to own a molle bag is it's good for camping, you can attach a bundle of small sticks or twigs to help start a fire, you can carry an axe or machete, you can attach canteen water bottles, pouches if u run out of room, hiking poles, jackets, sleeping bags or whatever u need
Thank you for your opinion. The seed has been planted on “the real grey man theory” and I hope you water it and let it grow into knowledge and skills to help you in your future endeavors.
I respectfully disagree. It truly depends on the environment you’re in, and potential threat level around you that will dictate your pack out/equip. needed to be readily accessible on the outside of your gear.
