Paracord bracelets: not very grey man?

[Camelfilter]

You misread what I said, when I see someone who is ultra aware of their environment, is carrying a pocket knife and a paracord bracelet. Not ONE thing....

Bold & enlarged quoted portion mine.

Regardless of what someone looks like, or is wearing, that's the tell. Of someone "doing it wrong"....

If the bracelet isn't your style, there is always the giant foam cowboy hat and air horn plan.

I believe you're thinking of the "Wacking Day" with an "h" in it, Andy. Just sayin'...

Oh, there's no need for that. We know what you're really up to with those fast-movin' fingers...

Some let their fingers do the walking....others let their finger do the talking....

I have found that if you simply carry a huge knife in your hand, that seems to be pretty cool. It's even better when wearing a skunk hat.

So does wearing a multi pocket fishing vest mark you as tacticool ? I often wear light weight shorts in warm weather and transfer bulky items to the vest.

I've felt it preferable to freeing Willie.

To me they are about as grey man as a lifted truck with an Oregunian sticker ripping along a suburban highway.

LMAO! I was stuck behind such a vehicle today whilst on the Five. Not only those elements present: he had a huge grinning skeleton decal, that told the observer that not only was he super cool, his intelligence level was above reproach.

I've always noticed and assumed those who are ultra aware of their surroundings, have a pocket knife clip showing and a paracord bracelet are carrying. I've had a few people who have noticed it but didn't say anything, though I know they know what it is since they are country boys. Example: the contractor doing work at my house recently.

I've considered carrying my knife clipped on my jeans behind my belt buckle, just to the right of it (I have some larger knives I carry like this at times) and carrying the paracord in a different way as well, so that I'm not so noticeable. No 5.11 gear, no MOLLE packs out and about town. I have a cheap backpack I bought on Amazon for that purpose so it doesn't look tacticool.

Looking tacticool attracts attention and of course there is always the possibility some SJW makes up a claim based on an assumption that you're carrying and you pointed a gun at them. It happens...

Its not easy for me because I think of XY and Z things that would be critical in a real bad scenario. Then, I think of how to have those things and not look like a target or alarming others.

A side duty of mine requires that I fly armed, so I really get the need to be "grey". I have to be completely incognito while carrying a full size gun, extra magazine, handcuffs, knife, and flash light. I have an IFAK/tourniquet in my carry-on item that I keep within reach. It can be done!

PS: paracord weaves make great key chains.

I wear a 550 cord bracelet. We started making those downrange to wear during our deployments. The teams all wore them till we got home. Once I retired, I wear mine as a remembrance. I could give a rats "dupa" how you or they percieve it.

Love that movie!
