Before you decide you are the Gray Man, blending into your surroundings with the stealth of a pecker in a whorehouse, might want to glance around first. Most everybody would agree that it's advantageous to blend into wherever you happen to be, but it amazes me how many "operators" think they create their surroundings regardless of where they happen to be standing. For those who just looked like they fell off planet Dimwit, figure out where you are. Philadelphia PA and Buckhorn WY are not exactly next door to each other.

Check out what regular, local people wear. Multicam and an Infidel T-shirt might not be exactly gray man attire. People do notice things that are out of place and in this century, don't ever think that there won't be somebody around who will know exactly what Rhodesian camo looks like. And they will be asking, too. Maybe not you, but they will damn sure ask local law enforcement - and the local Sheriff may have just been in South Africa and wondering the same thing, which is just who do you think you are? Better have a great backstory for those kinds of questions. Unless you really like attention, you might be much better off wearing Wrangler jeans and a work shirt.

Most of the readers who stop by this blog are used to being around guns and other weapons. Not so with the average person, but if they do know guns, they'll respect competency, not expense. If you go hunting someplace, the guides will not be impressed with your engraved Weatherby unless you can shoot it like a rock star. Do your firearms fit your location? If the locals use Winchester 30-30s, your FN-FAL or M4 is going to get noticed. If I am in Kansas City, a sport jacket and any high capacity semi-automatic for concealed carry, I look like everyone and no one. Where I live now, I have not seen a sport jacket here ever.

There's a time and place for anything. If you want to disappear, it's something to consider.
