"Shoot me now" preppers

[Scythe13]

I think this is partially true and partially either based on prejudice or ignorance.

I think it's wrong to take the assumption that people (especially from this forum) with new gear that's the best they can afford, are going to be strutting it around post SHTF with all their equipment branded high and on show, while keeping themselves as unhidden as possible. That just seems like ignorance in understanding the mindset of someone that is "Very wise and intelligent". I'm pretty certain everyone on this forum understands the need to not stand out and the need to hold to the Grey Man ideals.

I'm not 100% sure whether you're trying to rehash the point that holding to the Grey Man ethos is correct, or whether it's just an article about being careful who you interact with. Could you please clarify which it is?

What seems obvious to me, is that a wise and intelligent person, isn't going to be the person strutting their stuff down the road, gun hung on the hip, cheering about how they've got so much stuff stored!

This thread has totally lost me!
