- Mr. Bone teaches why tactical backpacks are actually a disadvantage while comparing and contrasting some popular models with The Greyman Operations Pack:
bonetactical.com/

At 60 liters it's big enough to carry everything you need while being well built, comfortable, and chock-full of organizational capabilities. With this back we now offer one more of the finest EDC items available on the market today. Carry with confidence, carry concealed, carry Bone Tactical.
Amazon has flooded the marketplace with “tactical” packs in the $35-$65 price range. Molle webbed backpacks are everywhere now. Junior high and school kids use them.
If everyone is using a tactical backpack that means you can use one as a grey man and still blend in
Yeah guilty, mine is a black tactical but it’s a bloody good bag, I just put some Hello Kitty patches on it so I should be good…
I’ve seen 10 people in the last week with tactical back packs and a couple of them were wearing ones I was looking to buy😂
Maybe everywhere where you are… and if you want to risk being singled out that’s fine. This is only for the few who want to utilize Greyman theory and be the best they can in any environment. Many people are happy being a sheep a soft target and living a life of mediocrity. That’s why Amazon sells so many crap $50 tactical backpacks. And we’re all thankful for those guys, since they’ll be the first to go 🤷🏻♂️
So with your logic if you wear a 'tactical' bag you're a target but if you don't wear a tactical bag then you won't be??? Dude you're tripping
All very good points. Though over the last 10 years the adoption of 'Tactical' backpacks or Ruksacks as everyday carry bags for average people has become pretty normal. Here in NYC and Brooklyn, you can get on a bus or the subway and 1 in 10 people are carrying a tactical backpack. More specifically tourists, freelance workers, laborers, construction workers, students, people in photo, video and film production; no one gives it a second look. These bags have become so common that even the NYPD ignores them unless you look weighted down and lost. I've been using one for my everyday photo production use for the last 8 years and the only time I was stopped by the Transit police was when I was carrying a smaller book bag from 20 years ago. As the Rucksack becomes more of a personal style or "Fashion trend", they will simply begin to blend in with the fabric of everyday life.
Hi. Never been a train. Why do police stop people with heavy bags?
@@l3loodyfingers potential IED / bomb. They've had pressure cooker explosives' go off on the trains before.
@@sayNotoBrooklyn83 i guess the constitution doesn't apply to new york in more ways than one.
Pretty much same in Hong Kong, and thats not even a place where people could potentially posees a gun.
Its kind of funny to watch these guys on YT saying: "keep it low profile don't use backpack with MOLLE straps etc." While no-one gives a fart about looking tactical anymore. But I believe that person/ author might be living in some area where situation and culture is very specific, that's totally possible. It would be nice if the author would specify what cultural and security context is he talking about / for.
You can make statements like that, but the truth is, it depends on where you are. Camo bags are normal in some places. In some places, the silly Hawaiian shirts say “boog boys” and you get shot first. Blanket statements are stupid.
@NOMADIC SLOVAK thank you 🤟🏻🇺🇸👍🏻💪🏻
i like dem flowered shirts,,, just not on me
In a disaster/apocalyptic scenario, all bags are targets, grey style or not
🤣🤣all bags are targets when everyone has one? 🤣🤣 didn’t think that one out very well did you jajajaja
@@BoneTactical you will always want what you dont have
1. he is right. 2. graymen are especially suspicious since it has become the new tactical city camo. @@BoneTactical
I agree. How you walk says everything about someone. Loosen up, you'll blend in so much better.
This makes sense, in theory but there are too many variables to be worried about how your pack "looks" to others... Because the main issue is going to be WHO you are with. Grey Man or Full Kit are irrelevant in a SHTF scenario. People are going to get targeted for many different reasons. Poor situational awareness and being alone is a huge one. We live in "peace time" and people who look like they don't have anything, get robbed all the time. As a youth in NYC, dudes would rob people for fun. For bus cards, bags, purses, jewelry, jackets, sneakers etc.. All things that more than likely got tossed. They were done to prove a point or show that they were "bold", to others. Mob mentality is the scariest part of the situation. All it takes is 5 armed people to rob EVERY passer by that they encounter, in a urban scenario. It won't matter whether you have a $20 pack or a $500.. When robbery becomes "Culture". The most important thing to invest in is a "community" of your neighbors, that you train with and can roll with in the event of a situation. People think that they're gonna easily escape to the woods or a safer location, by themselves/with family, with nobody trying to follow you. Most people are gonna instinctively follow people that seem to know what they're doing or where they're going. That will be multiplied by 10. Even peaceful people will try and end you if they see you inflate a raft, knowing they're gonna get left. Even if they don't know what to do with it or where to go. Lol. Find at least 5 men, in your community, that are "No Joke". Get a plan together and train together. What people don't understand about SHTF is that societal/moral norms will deteriorate quickly. People will navigate to power and as always... Will turn into a battle between the righteous and the wicked. That means that rhe righteous are gonna have to be 10 times more aware, prepared and ready to do what's necessary. We live in peace time and are surrounded by degenerates. That number will explode if "law and order" become a thing of the past. You're gonna NEED a Group to protect your gear. Doesn't matter whether it's a $20 Jansport or a $600 Eberlestock. If they have the numbers, the drop on you or catch you in the wrong place at the right time... You're leaving with your pockets looking like Bugs Bunny ears.
I agree, I consider my self a good guy and would have no problem shooting people on sight regardless of what they are wearing because I dont want to take the chance of them shooting me on sight. Imagine what the evil people will be doing. Someone thats starving and has already resulted to robing and killing ant gonna care how grey. Its fantasy thinking, like planning for zombies. Grey man will get you killed if shtf. Now blood stains and a scull hat may scare away good people, then you can just kill everyone that didnt run away or hide from your war paint feeling confident they were evil and going to target you. I feel like if shtf one of the biggest struggles will be not trying to kill innocent people while not being killed and I think the best way to do that is look like some crazy purge guy armed to the teeth with a necklace that has a bunch of human ears on it. In theory good people will hide or leave and not want to engage with your crazy looking ass and then again in theory you can then assume everyone else is the bad guy. Kinda like gang tattoos on the face, its to intimidate good people but it doesnt work on other gang members that are inked up too. So yeah if I look crazy AF like Im enjoying the carnage good people will avoid me and then I wont have to kill one thinking they were bad and gonna kill me.
sobering truth is sobering. thank you for this excellent reality check.
Extremely well said.
Fair point. However, I don't plan on being seen at all in the woods. In an urban scenario where there's more eyes, I agree it's a good idea to blend in and not look like Rambo.
Nah urban doesn’t matter either. Most people aren’t autistic crybabies and won’t care.
You don't have to be in the woods if youd not a threat ding dong. Why is anyone going to waste their attention on a useless dork walking around when they are on high alert for camo gear , then those people have the good Loot of ammo, guns, food, survival thing.
Find you in the woods is Jackpot.
Plus your not hiding from a cheap Chinese Amazon drone with IR, and night vision. That shit can see you a mile away the moment you move.
Just walk like a normal person and you can move faster
@Oscar Bear
1. If someone is out looking for me with illintentions, I am a threat.
2. I will not be alone.
3. Hiding from ir is not as hard as people think. Also, ir capabilities are not based on movement.
4. If you see me or one of my comrades, it's because we wanted you to.
@@talontd3727 agree, nobody makes me bleed my own blood
@@GG-kc6ie xD!
Guys, let's be real. Grayman shit only passes when things are calm. When SHTF it doesn't matter what your BOB looks like, anyone and everyone carrying a bag is an equal target. So you put on your body armor, and you pull your weapon out into a semi ready position and everyone can see it. To quote John Wayne in thy movie Big Jake "Everyone knows what we got, this just let's them know they can't have it".
Actually quite the opposite is true but thank you for sharing your opinion
@@BoneTactical really, hmmm. The lion picks out the weakest gazelle at the back of the heard, and when shit hits the fan, humans reduce themselves back to their animal instincts. You see this in 100% of total anarchy situations. This is like telling someone the best way to avoid getting attacked is to come off as non-threatening as possible, which is literally the dumbest thing you can do.
When the George Floyd riots started in Minneapolis, which was literally as bad of situation you can prepare for, I had to get a female friend out and to safe part of the south suburbs, away from it all, I literally had on a tactical assault pack, helmet, vest and my weapon was out. Literally everyone avoids you. They focus on weaker targets who won't put up a fight.
Less than .001% of the population is even physically prepared to handle violent confrontation, this idea that you're going to have fight off groups of well trained and disciplined attackers who know what to look for is completely fictional.
100 million bags out here they're literally carried by age 9-90. Good way to blend in.
@@doubleb222able Even though people are going to get robbed when they're not wearing backpacks, people are going to want something of use. Do you have video evidence of your encounter of supposedly helping this lady? Anyone can claim any experience in a TH-cam comment.
You have cargo shorts and a Hawaiian shirt on. They scream “I left a gun in my glovebox, please lootdrop me”
While I don’t think I’ve ever worn cargo shorts in my life, you’re starting to get the idea of what this video is getting at. Check out the real Greyman theory for beginners to learn more 👊🏼
The being low key or "blending in" depends on several different factors. Scenarios and environments will dictate what type of gear you will be using. If SHTF, bugging out in regular clothing is good if you're in an urban environment. But if you're bugging out anyway, you're gonna want to stay away from urban areas. All together, so called military style equipment and color would be beneficial in a couple of ways. 1. You'll blend in with your environment and 2. People will most likely f*ck with you less if you look the part. Again, everything depends on the type of scenario and environment you are in.
Exactly , this guy is planning on bugging out to his desk job
Check out “the real Greyman theory” it’s much more involved and much more complicated than just blending in or being low-key!
tactical backpacks are everywhere now.. you can get them at ross. i dont think they stand out anymore
I'm in a relatively safe place and use a "military" backpack daily for two reasons:
1) Durability. I was FED UP with typical backpacks breaking after a year or so, this one I have for 3 already and I see no damage so far.
2) Capacity. Good for going to the grocery store and buying like 10kg of stuff.
Some hiking backpacks would meet those criteria too but I just didn't want to risk having to throw it away again.
Also, sometimes looking dangerous is what you want. For example, people are less likely to ask you to wear a mask :P
Plus most people aren’t a larping prepper so none of this video is relevant anyways. Also “hiking” backpack easily lasts just as long.
You ruck your groceries? Damn. You got it made.
@@scowler7200 Ya, shop is close. I usually take a bike.
@@aleksanderczajka6072
One day I'll move off this hill and down into the valley. Then I won't need a car!
yep , and only thing that can match good ol' military big bags are bags 1 like Mares 100 L spearfishing bags ( can even be worn on back like ruksack ) and 2 sport bags 50-100 L , but again make sure it can be worn like ruksack cos it's 10 times easier than to carry it by hands ) . I stopped buying expensive and non durable stuff from hiking companies , they are just not worth it . I bought military duffel 75 L bag for price of 25 L hiking ruksack and it's 20 times as durable . I use it for groceries often too , nice point ! I use it for winter swimming and trips to nature and short trips to wild beaches . I cannot just go to nature with small hiking backpack . Big bag is the best investment I made , I can put in my duffel military marine bag so much stuff I need . and I am so simple , for me there is no base layers , mid layers , it's always the same and simple . In summer just one shirt and soccer pants to be light as possible + light hiking boots , cap on head and that's it , in nature I take shirt off and jump in sea , I don't care about uv rays etc . But without 75 L duffel army bag I couldn't do it . Even in summer , I need 2 l of water , hiking shoes or boots , sometimes fins for diving , mask , big towel to sit and lie down on rocks and to dry after swimming . 25 L hiking bag is just toooo small for anything more serious . Duffel bag is just one big bag , so simple and that makes it superior for spacing bigger items like fins . In winter I need space for putting big jacket . Day can be warm and I leave house in t-shirt . Suddenly wind and cold air , rain comes I need jacket . I go with bus , and that's essential , many young people don't own car and they would benefit with big bags . But even with car , you cannot aproach nature with car directly , you need big bag too . One thing - military bags can be damaged and you will need to repair it sometimes , it's not piece of steel , it can be damaged . Spearfishing bags are even more durable because of nylon and PU addition on them and if you are often on sharp rocks and just throwing military bag without care , it would be damaged , but it won't be destroyed like hiking bags that are just too light and fragile for hard use . But spearfishing and even sports soccer etc bags can last a looong time . Spearfishing big bags are good choice for those who are afraid of sea water damage and are waterproof often . So next choice for me will be those big spearfishing bags that can also be used as rucksacks to be worn easily . P.S my duffel military bag is heavy bag , but it feels so light on my back , so ergonomic , suprisingly efficient and I don't feel pain while carrying big loads . It can be easily adjusted to be worn more on hips or more on lower back or more on middle back , it takes seconds to adjust it design is so simple and genius in same time !
Keep up the good work Man. I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos.
Will do thank you👊🏼💪🏻🤙🏼
Ive had 2 deuter rucksacks tear within a few months of owning them, weight was around 50lbs. Durability is very important to me especially when hiking on a several day long hiking trip
Interesting thanks for sharing
Buy Fjallraven their bags are mostly 500D
For long term out in the sticks, it’s good to load up a bigger pack. Once you are stationed, you can unload or use what you brought. It really matters on situation. You should always have a 3day ready for anything
My 3 days ready for anything is to find your main bag, Loot it while your out and about with your day bag. 🤣
On a serious note if your 3 day bag should be your 3 month bag. If you get injured and have to be moved. Nobody is going ti carry you and your bag. They can barely carry you.
So your 3day light weight bag is all you get in practice
I have a big bug out bag for long term and smaller bags I can use if Im going out looting for the day or only need a few tools for a task or what ever. 70L hiking pack, 72hour military style and a small sling bag. If you are already smashing around with enough gear to build a walmart whats 2 smaller empty bags clipped to your main bag? If Im already carrying 80lbs of gear I dont think a few more ounces will kill me.
Bone i appreciate your content, would you consider making vidz on the lost art of blacksmithing?

@@BoneTactical it's a pleasure brother
Every mission has different gear and each pack has it place. These backpacks are like tools you don't use a screwdriver to pound in nails
You have a point on approach but people have different scenarios for different reasons. I personally was just looking for a nice Rucksack pack to have a decent load last for a “big out” scenario. Basics medical rations etc. but thanks for the great insight and great vid🤙🏽

I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming because my theory in life, no one person can know every thing
So true! I share videos on a very finite and refined subject matter because like anyone there’s a lot I don’t know. I share what I know because I enjoy sharing and helping others and I really appreciate your feedback
I think you are one greatest sources of information of anybody, however I don’t agree that you would be a target in a US SHTF situation if people knew you were loaded up that way. Why would they target somebody who’s trained/not messing around? The only time I would see that would be if they were big gangs of people that had no fear and will target you, but then again why would you even let them know of your existence, or even be in a position where somebody could get a drop on you. In a true SHTF situation you would not be walking around or going out and being around people, you’d be sheltered/forming funnels.
I'm very interested in what specific firearms you recommend
You’ll be very interested to watch my firearms videos then. Thanks for your feedback and support.

ive never saw grey man like that, deff gave me something to think about. ill check out your grey man playlist, thanks.
Good info and vital info thanks Greg!
Thanks for watching
Which bag is that? ❤
I would argue that a tactical bag would make a great bug-out bag if you plan on keeping it stored somewhere. If you had a bug-out bag at home or at the office, the extra storage space and bonus pouches would be extremely useful. I wouldn't have it as an EDC mostly because it's bulky above anything else. In most situations you would realistically face, you would have time to retrieve your bag from home anyway, but an EDC with some basic supplies could come in handy. I would rather use a tactical if I was camping or just going through the woods. Never know when you need that extra storage space, especially if you are out foraging.
Thanks for your opinion! If we are going to base our preparedness on having time to prepare after disaster strikes, then we are not really prepared to begin with.
If you're open carrying a rifle, how much does the pattern of your bag matter?
Yeah if you’re open carrying a rifle you have no hope 🤣
I’m learning and appreciate it! Thank you
Thanks for your feedback and support enjoy

Interesting vid. I can see this bring true in some places. So many people run tactical packs in my area - even school kids. As a result a person can blend with a tactical pack. At least i could.
You can never blend. You can only give the impression you want to give, if you’re good. But first is to learn the tru nature of your reality.

I agree Greg, your points on grey man strategies are spot on, and are very applicable to the realities here in Venezuela. A tall fair-skinned Caucasian features civilian using a tactical backpack will get picked up by the national police or state security forces in a New York minute.
Thanks for your feedback and support Venezuela is indeed a great example
Yep. I've backpacked there, best survive is looking very poor and or homeless.

Thanks brother i appreciate the vid i do not carry a tactical bag any more it tends to snag on stuff and i am a big dude so in thight spaces it also limmits movement used to carry a tac bag every day but i don't any more
GOD BLESS you brother please stay safe and stay sharp
Good decision
very cool mr bone love the videos getting body armor soon
OK sounds good my professional opinion would be that body armor is probably the last thing you need unless it’s a job requirement
@@BoneTactical yeah i may never need it and if its not on sale when i get paid i may just get an lbv instead needed something to hold extra mags i can throw on figured if im gonna be heavy may as well be up armored
Excellent video….going to your other bug out bags.
Thank you
I feel like the molle style is so popular now especially amongst school kids that you can't get away with it
There's two common extremes tactical logo schmedium t-shirt with multicam bag, 5.11 cargo pants and oakley shooters glasses strutting through walmart scowling or other extreme mr gray who thinks that means dressing in all gray still covered in velcro all serious and uptight so instead of looking like a navy delta seal ranger from a 90's action movie they look like an undercover on stakeout. My usual is a bright colored t shirt, polo, or blue Kuhl snap collared short sleeve, khaki or gray columbia hike shorts or jeans, tennis shoes or sandals, ray ban style sunglasses and an under armour logo hat carrying either a gray vertx ready pack that looks and functions like a laptop bag with laptop/tablet or osprey day hike bag. I either look like business dude off work or hiker/beach sporting goods frisbee golf type dude. Nobody has a clue on me/near me always is a unity clutch belt w/2 pistol mags, ar mag, trauma kit, boo boo kit, Yaesu ht radio, e/e kit, grayl filter, wilderness survival kit, pick and bypass kit, rain jacket, sig pistol, sometimes 5" 300BO sbr. Shit look at my profile pic lol, I don't look like a dude wrapping up year 20 year in the mil who edc's a get home bag/crap load of gear.
You’re getting they’re brother 🙌🏻 thanks for the feedback and support
My favorite test is the Portland Riot situation. Can you bring your kit without getting bad looks from those peaceful looters? There is a time and place for covert and overt. Not getting singled out by the mob is a really nice goal to aim for if you're in that situation
I noticed that quite a few of the riot people had "tactical" packs with them. Military surplus is cheap, tough as hell, and everywhere.
You cannot safely walk around these cities with a backpack of any kind, even under the best daylight conditions. Very few understand how dangerous everything has gotten.
Except your "gray man" backpack is jus as noticeable as any "tactical" backpack. If you actually want to "blend in", go buy a cheap backpack from Wal-Mart instead of this boutique brand knock-off that makes you look like a rich tourist AKA a target.
I live on the edge of town so for me, I have a smaller EDC bag and then I have a larger tactical bag for 72 hour push into the forest which is only a few minutes from my front door. I think it really just depends on where you live and whats around you.
It definitely depends on where you live but also on a lot more than that as well
Love the videos man
Thanks for watching
Finally some common sense , I mean even as a drafted soldier I had orders when on a leave not to wear or carry anything " tactical " and identity giveaway in order , in case of a shtf scenario to be able to blend in the crowd and get back to the unit..
It's just common sense guys the moment you exist your door with all your tactical gear ,you either going to get shoot for looting that said gear or perceived as threat to be neutralized..
Either way you won't hear the bullet that killed you
unfortunately common sense isn't common anymore!
you ever heard of a rucksack cover? lmao
"Get back to the unit" as in, back to your tactical gear and a larger support network? I'm not gonna disagree with the idea that modern society tends to lack common sense, but proper application of larger tactical packs during shtf seems to be a more likely issue.
I just ordered one for camping in black so as not to look too tactical. That is strictly for camping. My large INCH bag is also in black.
Dang! Too bad you didn’t watch this first. Browns and tans are the way to go
mines in my closet full of essential necessities and ammo rdy for that possible day👌🏽
Good job young man stay ready
Where I live people target you less if you have one cuz they know you have a gun and that your not a weak person

Thank you sir have a great rest of your weekend
You have a backpack on your back no matter what it looks like you're at Target
You’ve got a lot to learn young man
That is not true for me. A military backpack with molle system is very useful for hiking, last forever & everything is at hand in pouches when I need it, first aid, cookware, rain jacket, etc. For trekking is better a proper non-military one with a comfortable fit. You can get much better and comfortable everyday backpack than that survival one for better price and buy the survival gear separately. The only thing I agree is that if you live in a shithole, it is a bad idea to carry a backpack that looks military because, yes it can call the attention.
It’s true for everyone. Some are just not aware 😔

Well in a carp hits the fan any backpack will make you a target no matter what it looks like keep that in mind
I’m not sure what carps and fans have to do with anything but in a situation where everyone has backpacks, you might want a backpack that doesn’t portray the wrong message
For college I was backpack shopping I went with a "tactical military backpack" fully blacked out so I don't think this really applies to that
Yes, it directly applies to you!
Fact: most ppl think the gray man is just blending in with ur surroundings yes that the main idea but sometime standing out looking like most harmless person/poor w/e your situation like hiding from the police if their out looking for u & ur next door(under their nose) the closer we r to danger the farther well be from harm
Name of big backpack?
The Greyman operations pack and the Eberlestock gunslinger have the most storage space

Watching this from Europe felt surreal. Felt like it was dedicated for a vr game
I use tactical bags because they’re more durable and can hold more weight than an average Jansport bag. But I wouldn’t mind people chasing me, I would actually be wanted by other humans for the first time
Yeah, you probably shouldn’t use an average Jan sport bag if you’re talking about bugging out but hopefully you are learning from this video because you’re in the right place to gain the knowledge you seek

Good information.
Thanks for watching
My bags always black doesn’t look that tactical should be ok
This is all dependent on plan and scenario. Some scenarios require rural survival. So packing food, shelter, and other equipment might require the more spacious camouflage pack.
The most important thing to bring, more than food, gun, or shelter... is.
Water 💧, 2 days of hiking no water, your in a serious condition. 3 days your dead...
What ? I have to say I seen more mil surplus gear used in construction and hunting than the military lol I really don’t think anyone is paying attention plus that gray man thing only works for people that can’t recognize certain things
I'd say buy whatever bag you want to buy I wouldn't be telling people what not to do and what to do because at the end of the day people are going to do whatever they want it's their choice if I see someone who's decked out with a shotgun and a rifle and a pistol Common Sense would tell me that they're probably trained and know how to use all of it because why would you have a bunch of gear and a bunch of weapons when you don't know how to use it.
😬
Shtf I plan on getting as far away from city's as possible people are going to turn on one another very quickly .
Good call
Okay on an everyday basis I agree with this statement.. in a Bug Out situation… I guarantee they’ll know I’m the guy to shoot not because of my backpack, It’ll be because of the Pistol and Rifle I’ll be holding 😂
Thank you for your service my friend. By making yourself such an easy target if things go south, you give the rest of us a fighting chance and by being so full hardy with your firearms you make them easily accessible to anyone with basic skills or training. Please just keep your weapons, clean and well oiled for me.
OMG Speak the truth! Great words. Tell more people to steer away from the "tactical gear" that is made for looks.... Not function.
Keep it up Gray Man.
Awesome brother 👊👊👊
👊🏼💪🏻🤙🏼
very good concept
Thank you sir
Awesome bro. I love the grey idea
You should ALWAYS have more than one of everything. METC will dictate your equipment. This video is obviously made for covert gray man stuff. But military packs are extremely durable, and modular as they are used in systems. Military surplus is also a way to get some great used gear at great prices. But youre spot on about grey man. If its a SHTF scenario we are going to see a shit ton of military gear, equipment so they will not necessarily be a bad thing or indicate a compromised status.
Thank you, my friend! Gear is always good, but just know that gear is never a substitute for skills
A lot of people doesn‘t even realize what molle webbing is… in my experience what attract peoples attention is camo patterns… i wear a lot of tactical gear in black or ranger green and most of the people doesnt even notice… only people who are used to this tactical stuff realize… but in shtf scenarios such things aren‘t that important… there are only two options in my optinion: 1. You make sure no one sees you 2. When they see you make them understand that your not easy pray.
Hello my friend thank you for your comment. I’m glad that you spoke from your personal experience and I’m glad that you also had the opportunity to learn more from other perspectives, based on a broader range of experience 👊🏼
@@BoneTactical Kind regards from switzerland!🇨🇭
@@user-pw7ep7ek7l welcome to the channel! Enjoy
I disagree I believe because the Tactical bags and tactical looking bags are everywhere... That having a tactical looking bag actually blends in now
I see kids going to my kids school wearing bags of Molly webbing all over them.. I see people wearing McDonald's uniforms going to work carrying military style backpacks. They are everywhere
We can’t all be winners and we can all be survivors. Thanks for filling the gap and playing the role most guys don’t want to you. Thanks for your feedback and support as well know that you are appreciated
The main advantage of having a tactical bag is that it lasts. Built well so you can survive in the wild. Gray man theory is the paramount paranoid way to make yoyrself a target.
False & wrong again… but thanks for your feedback.
@@BoneTactical If I was to see a big guy wearing an ill fitting Hawaiian shirt, I'd be looking at him with some concern.
Aside from that obvious flaw in the gray man example yoy have used, the most important aspect of tactical back packs is the durability. How would you get home/survive if your bag falls apart after two days of hard walking?
But there's this really cool new thing out, called a "Rain Fly", and it will Gray Man that pack out. LoL 😆
You think? 🤣
I agree 💯
👊🏼💪🏻🤙🏼
Because in a real SHTF situation, they are not going to care if you're grammar or not, their going to go after you. You are a target just for being in their vicinity.
🤦🏻♂️
both options are good to have, but there are no absolutes. mission dictates everything.
Yes absolutely
Might work in the US where concealed carry of a pistol aka a surprise is allowed. If you look like an average guy in Germany you get robbed by the average migrant from Syria, Iraq, or Morocco. You better look like the 6.3 ft 200lbs KSK or Delta Force guy to deter those little fellas.
Not at all my experience in Germany but if you think so! I also am the 6 foot 3” 250 guy so that part I can’t erase
You wouldn't be flying under my radar bruh 😉😅
I just use a black TNF daypack for travel.
Maybe not… But “the real greyman theory” has proven to be unbeatable so far!
Almost every dude I see in my country on a motorcicle or on any trip has one. And most here are boight from good stores and are quality ones. Also,everyone wears them nowadays after the military clothes came back in fashion as a trend 5 years ago. Plus most dudes buy them during their conscription time so many of us have them. So this does not apply,at all
Less than 1% of people have a MOLLE backpack. And in fact, by confirming dudes coming back from conscription have them, you’re actually confirming the point of this video. The most dangerous thing, young man, and some thing that I hope you can take away from this is that whether you realize what’s going on around you or not it doesn’t change the reality of what’s happening. if you realize those around you or sizing you up and that those around you with elite, tactical or operational experience can tell very much about you by what you wear and how you hold yourself. Then you have an opportunity to be much more successful in life. If you don’t realize the treasure of information shared in this video, then you are simply dooming yourself to the same repetitive unsuccessful endeavors that you have already tried and failed. I hope this helps.
I get what you are saying but grey man isnt really thought through. 1st no one takes into account the people that will shoot you on sight no mater what you are wearing. Id rather be ghillied up sneaking around than in a Hawaiian shirt. Id rather have my guns where I can get to them quickly like on a sling or on my hip, not in a bag or under 3 layers of cloths. The presence of me with my guns should make good people go the other way so if you are coming my way in grey man I have to wonder your intent, if you coming at me while Im in tactical gear guns out I know you are bad news and dont have to wonder I can just open fire. I live in an area where city meets the wilderness so camo will come in real handy for traveling through the brush to pop in and out of town to look for supply's. Anyone that would target me for a loot drop because Im wearing camo would most likely target me for a loot drop if I was in grey man cloths. Lastly theres the possible intimidation factor, theres a lot of combat vets out there so theres a chance some street gang type might decide to pass on you and go after a more civilian looking target when they see you smashing around like special forces armed to the teeth. If I was a bad guy or group Id much rather target someone that looks like a high school teacher than someone I have to wonder if they have deadly training and been in gun fights. Grey man sounds cool on youtube when everyone talks about it and it attracted me for a little while and then I started thinking more logically and less trendy and decided Id much rather be able to jump in a bush and disappear than look like a push over. Id argue taking it even further with trophies from people hanging off me like war paint. Most people would run or hide if they saw someone armed to the teeth with a skull hat and a necklace with like 10 ears on it and cloths stained with blood. Looking like trouble is good repellant even now. I bet if most people saw 5 guys with gang tattoos all over their faces chilling in an ally most people will avoid going down that ally but normal looking guys in normal cloths Im sure most people would walk right past and feel perfectly safe. I think grey man will get people killed if shit did pop off. Its like dressing up like a deer to walk around a bunch of lions and hyenas, Id rather dress up like a lion.
Grey man theory is great until you're alone at a Waffle house at 2am in a SpongeBob t shirt and someone is asking you questions trying to find out if you're worth robbing. -happened to me
That’s not grey man theory, check out my series on the real greyman theory and learn what you’re doing wrong!
Me: *Wearing a 40-liter backpack*
Also me: *Giggle* I'm in danger
Uncle Joe & aunt Kamala will protect ya 🤣😅
And the shirt is pretty sweet.
Thanks. Still a few left. Www.BoneTactical.com
