I find this post funny Paul and I don't mean any disrespect, it’s just funny that a badge made for the "Greyman" it kind of defeats the meaning of it all.

We can only be Gray to a certain degree, we satill need some discrete method of tagging each other ( if we wish) at shows, gatherings meets etc, Many yanks use permutations of the Molon Labe badge to identify kindred spirits, we need something similar, .... Or do we?

I do agree with the Grey man thinking but it is near on impossible to be a member of such a forum and then be regarded Grey man.
As for a need for a badge or patch that can be turned against us.

Oh I agree theres definately pros and cons but the primary objective of Gray man is not to be completely invisible cos thats impossible, but to be very low profile. so if say we go to the Wilderness Gathering where fellow preppers may be, a small patch with an incon on our kit known in the community that could be pinned to your sleeve or velcroed to your rucksack IF you wish to touch base with other preppers is not a bad thing.
After all none of us are going to wear prepper labels if we were bugging out of town if TSHTF
RE: Site Banner - Hrusai - 5 July 2012
hell yeah, its not exactly going to be common knowledge is it? mainly members of this forum, who knows it may spread somewhat, but its only going to signify being a prepper, nothing more, nothing less.....anyway it would be cool to see it about and just smirk to yourself.....so personally i think its perfectly in keeping with being a gray man, its not shouting out, but quietly stating, much as we do.
RE: Site Banner - Barneyboy - 5 July 2012
yep thats right we wood be visable to other grey men or person cant see the harm sheeple will have no idea wot they mean if the SHTF sooner than later i for one wood like to no if any like minded are about
RE: Site Banner - NorthernRaider - 5 July 2012
I mean it does not have to even be a cloth patch, it could be something as simple as a lapel pin with " P " on it, its just a tag to help us spot others like uis at public events, and ONLY if we wish to.

They do this badge thing at my kid’s infant school, in fact most schools have a badge, are we not grown-ups? do you really need a badge, because it might look cool, give me a break.
If you have arranged to meet some other prepper use your mobiles, I am sure your find each other.
