Is it even possible to become "The Gray Man"

[Jmac00]

By my reasoning, unless you give up EVERYTHING electronic. Such as Credit cards, cell phones, banking and any computer device(s), AND stay out of the big cities. And pay for everything with cash, is it even possible to become the gray man??? And if the bank forces the country to a CBDC it would be almost impossible to disappear

any thoughts, suggestions on how you would become the gray man???

 

[SomeSoldier]

Yes, but for the avg person, or even a person that somewhat wants it. No.

If you were single and had zero family it would make it more possible.

There’s no way I could do a total gray man but I’m trying to do it with how I look. Nothing fancy, muted colors, no logos, and no stickers on my vehicle

Going off grid does not make you the gray man.

It makes you a black hole, which may well *draw* attention.

The gray man doesn't "leave no trace". He leaves a perfectly average trace.

To be a gray man, you need to look exactly like everyone else. Today that means draw a salary, pay your taxes, take vacations financed on credit cards, post highlights of your life on Facebook, the whole shebang

The guy who pays cash for everything and has no digital footprint is going to throw a lot of red flags.

Hate Trump. Love drugs and illegals.

 

[RedBreast21]

The "Gray Man" to who? The the people that see you out and about working, shopping, attending kids sports game, school events or just going out to dinner with the wife or family? Yes. To the government that monitors everything and has for decades? No.

The best you can do with the government is to confuse the algorithm with counter measures.

Being the "Gray Man" to people is about fitting into the background regardless of where that is. In Westchester county that means removing your NRA stickers, Service stickers, politically right wing or left wing bumper stickers. Wear clothing that fits the income for the area of Westchester you are in.

If you're in a more conservative county adjust your appearance to blend in.

For me, I don't have stickers on vehicles and I try to blend into where ever I am or are heading to. I don't ever discuss politics with strangers no matter how much they probe.

This is my understanding of "gray man". Blending in. Not disappearing. That's the invisible man. Pretty easy to do except for the farcebook thing. Fuck that shit.

Yes, it *is* camouflage

The purpose of camouflage isn't to reflect no light.

It is to reflect light in exactly the same way as the rest of the environment.

That is why they sell "real tree" and not 'black hole" to hide in the woods.

Imagine some sniper dressing like a movie ninja LOL.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Yes.

The gray man isn't invisible. He is seen and noticed but not remembered and forgotten. He's just another "non playable character" looking person that doesn't stand out for doing anything. He isn't known or remembered for doing anything out of the ordinary or attracting attention.

Don't flash around expensive things, be boring, basic and non descript. Guy with lifted trucks and exhaust will be remembered but the guy in a 2015 Toyota Highlander will be forgotten. Avoid any political bumper stickers.

Don't wear political advertisements, make political statements, stickers, flags, pro gun paraphernalia. Literally just blend in to your surroundings wear boring jeans and a gray hoodie or blue polo shirt. Picture a guy walking his dog that looks like the most boring person in the world that a random person wouldn't give a 2nd look to and would forget in 10 seconds, be that person. Look like that person. Don't give people a reason to remember you.

If you are out of town, don't wear sports logos for teams that are not from that area. If the locals have an accent and you don't, minimize talking and interacting with locals.


Those are some very basic ideas and things to consider. The next level is taking active efforts to minimize your electronic footprint and confuse algorithms and government tracking. This gets much harder and will likely require lifestyle changes and constant vigilance. It just depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.

An old timer told me if you want to see a black bear "Look for a hole in the woods"

very interesting, thanx for the thoughts.

So lets change it up a little.

How do you become the Gray Man when the shit hits the fan.

Let's say country and the world are in chaos. Do you keep the basic low profile blend in scenario, or, at that point you try to be the invisible man. ???

You need to look like you're suffering and starving as much as everyone else.

Definitely do *not* be the only place in the valley with the lights still on for instance.

Hypothetically if electricity is down that makes hiding a digital footprint easier....

If I was in a suburban area I think you try to camouflage in as being a suffering soul like everyone else.

If you're in the country I think you bunker in and try to be invisible.

When SHTF, become brown man.

[Far king]

As I understand it being a gray man means not sticking out or attracting attention to yourself. The question is, who do you wish to look gray to?

 

[Criticalt]

Where I live, I am very much the gray man.
When I go to town, not so much.
Over the last 3 years I have completely changed my look.
I used to be a gray man everywhere I went.
I used to be just an average 6' 200 pound guy with jeans/shorts and a t-shirt. Short hair, clean shaved......
NOW.....im the same 6', but.....270 pounds, hair halfway down my back and a beard down to my chest.
As most know, I spent a few months in the hospital a few years ago. I got out March 28, 2020. I have not cut or trimmed my head or face sinse.
No particular reason, just a thing im doing.
So now I dont exactly "blend in" out in public.

Gray Man - 13 Easy Skills to Become Invisible​

 

[livingston]

 

[GOPerfect]

Gray man...

Gray man in everyday life or gray man when SHTF, too me is basically the same thing.

Cover and concealment. Two different things. Can be combined to be better.

Take a wedding, you get invited to wedding, it is a normal wedding where all people dress up in suits and dresses. If you wear a suit that looks similar to others, you are gray. If you decide to wear basketball shorts and a loud Hawaiian shirt, you are not gray.

In life, everyday life; you dress and act like the majority of people around you, you are gray. In SHFT, if everyone around you looks destitute, dirty and hungry, you must look like they do. Cannot go down the street eating a three course meal of Lobster and steak when all around you are eating roadkill and rats.

Gray do not mean invisible, it means you fit in with the vast majority that are around you.

 

[Cavalry]

I'm 6'4" with large frame and a heavy build. Very frequently am told that I "look like a cop" No matter how I dress or act I stand out. What does a person do in that circumstance other than move to the Netherlands?

5 Gray Man secrets I learned as a surveillance operative
(This site is interesting )

One of the questions I get fairly often is “what is the gray man,” and rightly so. It’s a concept that most people have a vague idea about, if any idea at all, since pretty much all they’ve been exposed to is maybe reading The US Army’s book on Human Intelligence Collector Operations – or what they’ve seen in movies (which is pretty terrible).

Luckily, this just happens to be something I’m very familiar with, having both been involved in real-world operations on source operations and surveillance teams as well as teaching agents in both classroom and field exercises (not to mention the crap ton of training I did, compliments of the government), so I’ll break down the basics for you as far as I understand the concept. If you really want to dig deeply into it, here’s a list of books that you might want to consider.
