Chapter #4

The gray man

The gray man is a concept of close protection and personal security that involves blending into your environment and not drawing attention to yourself.

In its original form, the Grey Man theory is about protecting yourself and your family, while concealing the fact that you are prepared and ready to handle and survive any attack or disaster.

The general concept of The Grey Man is that you can blend into any environment or situation. Being the grey man would allow you to walk into a crowd without standing out. 

Learn how to get unnoticed and what to do in terms of cultivating a gray man appearance.
