Madhouse Posted August 6, 2020 Report Posted August 6, 2020 I've been reading and researching gray man concepts and practices. Does anyone have any links or info to share on this topic? My brain is still hungry.
98Z5V Posted August 6, 2020 Report Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Brother, are you looking at the gear side or the mentality side? Those are the two big sections of it. Inside of the mentality of it, you need to know how to use your gear, and you need to know how to move in/through a crowd unnoticed (with all your shiit) and get the fuk out of there. EDIT- for those that don't know - this is a great primer on it: https://www.thebugoutbagguide.com/gray-man-theory/ Edited August 6, 2020 by 98Z5V
Madhouse Posted August 7, 2020 Author Report Posted August 7, 2020 Nice, thanks bro. I've had the mentality side of it down for years, but I know that I never know all that I need to know, ya know? 🙂 In short, both, and all. Thanks for the link!
98Z5V Posted August 7, 2020 Report Posted August 7, 2020 It's damn good info, but there's so much more, deeper info, that you can get into in each little area. A long time ago, I built a gun for a specific reason, posted pics... 8" 300Blk pistol. This is it's carrying case: Kinda makes more sense now, in this topic, but that's why I did it back then. Truck gun, a daily. And I can get away easily, with that thing across my body or over my shoulder. Nobody would think twice, in a crowd. Just be casual, walk away,move like they move - go with the flow, break away when you can... When I built the 12.5" Grendel, I got another Wilson tennis racket case - but the12.5 Grendel was too long. So I stuck a LAW Tactical folding stock adapter on it. I'll find the pics of that one and put them in this thread...
98Z5V Posted August 7, 2020 Report Posted August 7, 2020 For whatever reason, I can't find the pics here of this 12.5" Grendel in the case. At any rate, this is the gun, and folded, fits nicely into that case. Same purpose for the build - "Who would think?..." This gun gives alot more reach than the 8" 300Blk does, though.

Being of slightly above medium height and wearing the same utility uniform as the other 80 recruits was a big factor. My name was never called for almost three weeks until I got a letter from my Mom. The Sr. Drill Instructor called my name and he said "Maggot, how in the hell have I not noticed you in my platoon, before now? I said "I don't know , Sir." (Keep your mouth shut and stand still in the shadows, or walk along with the crowd)
Radioactive Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 I have a big mouth so gray man doesn’t fit for me. I like the concept though.
98Z5V Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 Here are some older articles I've saved on this mindset - they're all good, and worth the read, individually. @Madhouse https://www.offgridweb.com/preparation/50-shades-of-gray-man-blending-in-versus-standing-out/ https://www.offgridweb.com/preparation/survival-self-awareness-the-gray-man/ https://www.recoilweb.com/gray-man-in-kabul-beyond-the-t-walls-150137.html
mrmackc Posted September 14, 2020 Report Posted September 14, 2020 here is a link to an article related to the Gray Man concept: https://www.offgridweb.com/preparation/threat-perception/
98Z5V Posted July 25, 2021 Report Posted July 25, 2021 @Madhouse, found another stashed link, should have posted it before. Ed Calderon. Search out his work, because this is what he does on the daily. https://www.offgridweb.com/survival/the-way-of-the-tijuana-donkey-ed-calderons-gray-man-mindset/
unforgiven Posted July 25, 2021 Report Posted July 25, 2021 That is truthful information. Good Link brother.
Madhouse Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Posted July 26, 2021 Nice, thanks man. That's a good read.
Magwa Posted August 15, 2021 Report Posted August 15, 2021 This is really good info, .... thanks for the links.
jtallen83 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Posted August 15, 2021 Not grey in the true sense but mental illness provides certain rights and causes reactions in people that can be a benefit in certain situations. You need to know what they are looking for to fool them....... https://www.corrections1.com/correctional-healthcare/articles/hes-faking-it-how-to-spot-inmates-invented-illnesses-dx3GtdjSL9acMbxn/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/machiavellians-gulling-the-rubes/202102/criminal-malingering-defendants-who-fake-mental-illness
