To camo or not to camo....that is the question! So what will you be wearing wshtf or wrol?

A few years ago I had woodland camo everything....then I got to thinking too. Blending in with your environment is the point. Not just woods. Just like op said, Iraqis had no uniform, their uniform is civilian clothing. I'd say dress like a merc and you'll look less of a threat.

sandals are the worst, dude

Personally, I think if troops/cops are around, I'd wear jeans or shorts and blend in as a poor schmuck.

Plus I don't want to attract attention from neighbors/strangers that would make them assume I have any preps.

Only if I hooked up with others/friends would I do that.

merrell,keen,solamon,for footwear.point of wearing camo is to not be seen.

I've been trying to find indiscreet gear, but I'm also shopping on a budget. I rock a decent Swiss Gear bag(get home bag) to work with my laptop and a small array of knives, lighters, first aid kit, and clif bars. It's no 3 day bag.

I love to shop outlet stores and sales.

I found a pair of Brown Columbia waterproof hiking boots for $35 at Gander Mountain, and a Brown Rainforest 2 piece Water/wind proof jacket for $30(originally $325) at Marshalls. It looks professional. I just need to stock up on good pants.

Khaki and Brown are my colors of choice for Urban areas. No reason to make yourself stick out like a sore thumb. 2 weeks into WROL, I don't care what color my clothes are, as long as they are going to last me a very long time.

I think I will stick w/the civilian blend in look.

Also need to consider the local climate.

I see different setups and theories on how/what to wear wshtf. Some people prefer camo gear in multicam, ACU, OD etc. I have also seen theories of civilian look to blend in.

I believe each situation will determine your load out. I think a pair of cargo pants, black shirt, base ball cap and gear under a big jacket looks way less suspicious then all out ACU camo gear everything and looking like special forces is coming to town. Look at the Iraqi's and Taliban. They couldnt be easily defeated because they blend in general populations.I would keep a pair of camo gear in case its needed due to environment changes.

But I see all these peppers on youtube loaded with tons of gear that weighs u down(how does 8, 30 round ak47 mags feel with a plate carrier and 8 pound plates?) pointless attachments to weapons, and camo everything. When its like Syria then that's cool if u can run with all that gear, but it ain't gonna fly like that right away. That's just my thoughts. What's yours?

I also believe is shtf, it will be much like Syria. Again, my personal thoughts.

Oh and check out this video, kinda fucked up
