I never put much intrest in what others would think when Im wearing combat gear , If Im in combat gear its for a reason training , shooting or combat . Yes one look and they know what I bring . But wearing camo is to keep from being seen so what it looks like is moot anyway . At the same time better to look dangerous than like a victim .
Not cos your fugly then?I am just wearing the gas mask for show, I would be wearing a balaclava, and I live in rural area where it is nothing but green and trees. I carry this gear because I know that once a SHTF scenario happens I am never coming home, I am going to protect myself with what gear I have, including my large alice pack, I bought the mask for tear gas protection, helmet and body armor is self explanatory. The knife is great for survival, I have two canteens with canteen cup and stove, a way to filter the water, a multitool and other things that is also non combative, the concept here is to show fear for those who wish to mess with me and my family/friends, such as marauders. Just my opinion though.
At the end of the day it all comes down to degree of luck as well as our hard earned preps, as I keep telling the folks in my small group you can be train as good as a Special Forces trooper and armed with the latest carbine and gear, but it only take one lucky 12 year old kid on his home territory hiding in the scrub with his little 22 rimfire to take you out.
my own gear is a mix of everything,which is okay here,but if I get to the woods,something else is needed,like woodland.
having specs makes wearing some eye protection little bit difficult..which sucks
right now,if I had to go I would dress half white,half woodland..best cover right now
Oh yes and people will be asking why are there Zebras running around the woods in Finlandyup,white for snow,though I need to modify the all white with some stripes,it will blend in better in the forest.
Love it!
