    On the notion of sounds. If you hear sounds of birds and frogs around your area then it stops something new has come into the area be on alert. Once the animals around you get use to you they will go back to they normal activity, when something new comes into the area they will stop and be on alert.

    Back when I was on tanks in the Army every time we went out to NTC to train for a month we would spend the first and last weeks in "The Desert Shades".
    Each tank has 4 crew. Each crewmember had one shelter half. Drivers and loaders then TCs and gunners would put their halves together to form a small pup tent that two people could somewhat comfortably sleep in.
    When living on the tank during exercises, we would spin the gun tube over the back deck, put the turret in trav-lock, drape our tank tarp over the tube and tie it down to the 4 corners of the back deck and then manually elevate the tube until it created a "tent" we would all sleep under.
    Since the tank engine is literally a jet turbine, it would keep everyone warm the whole night since it took many, many hours to cool down when shut off.
    On deployments overseas, we slept inside the tank using various "sleep systems" created just for that. Think "tiny hammocks inside a tank".
    One member of the crew would be awake all night on watch and we'd rotate through the crew.

    100 percent spot on on the gray man discussion. In my area, camo is the most common, cultural thing to wear. Kids wear it to school, people wear it at work, hunters, fisherman, hikers, etc. Wear it in and out of town. You can go in a restaurant and see numerous people wearing it while eating. People camo there vehicle, and we even have a camouflage painted store! Dress up in gray,, and you'll stand out like a sore thumb.

    • @joshberry4301
      @joshberry4301 Рік тому +2

      I think this topic is so misunderstood...
      Gray man doesn't mean dressing in gray. It means to blend in to your surroundings and be totally unremarkable, completely forgettable, just a piece of the background.
      Camo can be gray man, but in an area with lots of military might even stand out if it's the wrong camo pattern.
      Dressing as a homeless person in San Fran can be gray man, unless you're clean shaven, or your cologne gives you away.
      A hard Hat, clipboard, and high-vis vest can be the ticket... unless it all looks brand new.
      Brown slacks, brown polo, and a brown hat, and I bet you could get about anywhere carrying a big box so others open doors for you. Brown is the new gray!
      Portland Oregon? Black jeans, black hoody, and a black mask, so you can blend in with the rioters long enough to get out of the area. Gray man.
      Urban? Woods? Walmart? A football game? Gray man is just about blending in to the background no matter where you are.

    My take on the "Gray Man" has always been dress as the locals would dress in whatever part of the country you are in or even to be more specific dress as the locals of the town or city or even neighborhood (hood) your in...Basically what you are saying.
    Just my humble opinion from living on the streets in a few towns and cities.. Another great video by the way. You have helped me many times over the years with your videos.

  • @TerryWindell
    @TerryWindell Рік тому +2

    Another great video and some very good points about stealthiness. To me, the concept of "Gray Man" never meant actually dressing in gray. I always took it to mean blending in with your environment - whatever and where ever that happened to be. If you're in an urban environment and you look like you belong, then anyone you come into contact with will usually assume you DO belong and aren't a threat.

    True story. Flying as a crew chief on a Huey under NVG's I got a rude education on futility of light discipline against high tech devices. You could literally see what each troop was doing in their tent. Walking into the same tent later after our flight it was amazing how dim it was because they was using light discipline.

    Great video yet again mate. Too many "Bushcrafters" in combats, chopping stuff up and lighting great big fired in public woodlands here in England. Whenever I go out, I blend in with colours, occasionally use camo trousers, but never start chopping down stuff and risking big fires...firstly because of fires getting out of control and secondly because there is nowhere publicly in England that you are allowed to camp, hence why we stealth camp and chopping down s**t isn't stealthy either. Good sound advice you're sharing buddy

The tower must have authorized a low altitude fly over.

    The fact that people took the concept of the 'grey man' and put a hard archetype of what that person would look like versus understanding that it simply means to blend in (A in survival, act like the natives), screams to the lack of common sense the average person has in 2023

    Awesome Video, I 100% agree with you on gray man concept however if you look at the definition of gray man (or blending in) is based on your location as you stated east coast camo in town and a store no one gives it a second thought. So, in essence that is the gray man concept. Second, I took my military poncho liner and added a 100-inch zipper to make a light weight sleeping bag, works great.

    Brilliant as ever corporal. Always look forward to your videos.
    Would you be prepared to send your patches to the UK?

    Dress for the occasion, to fit in. (Even if you have to wear your hat backwards. Ugh) 😏

    For me stealth camping is about keeping my privacy and also improving my chances of seeing the fauna in its natural behavior.

    You should make a video on how to hide from AI in the woods. How to avoid a heat signature from a thermal sights. Things like that.

    Early in your video, you defined stealth camping as not being seen. I suggest changing that to “not being detected”. Stealth should guard against all methods of detection. Sight, hearing, and smell. Even being “sensed” by someone alert enough to realize that something is different.
    I don’t try to hide, but I do prefer to not have neighbors. Though sometimes they have been beneficial, the odds don’t run in that direction.

    Question, while sleeping on the ground, how do you keep the spiders, chiggers, ticks, and snakes off your body? Crawling and moving thru the brush is a recipe for poison ivy, and assorted insect bites. Also, don't forget wild dogs that roam in packs looking for a meal ???
