There are lots of advantages to blending in with the crowd when disaster strikes.
For starters, by not drawing attention to yourself, you’ll be able to move more quickly and easily through the crowd
without alerting others to the fact that you are prepared to handle the situation.
Also, by blending in and appearing to be among the unprepared, you are less likely to make yourself a target of those in desperation
who may try and take your survival gear off you by force.
The gray man theory is really about protecting yourself and your family by concealing the fact
that you are indeed prepared to survive in the face of disaster.

GOOD POST - Thank you.
Cleary sums up reasons why there are times lay-low as opposed to being highly visible and out on the front lines
I tried to put some of those thoughts forth in a longer, less succinct post but didn’t do near as well as you did in your post.
