There's an art to disappearing.
In a world where societal challenges escalate, the skill of being unremarkable becomes an art worth mastering. While disappearing into the crowd is a simple feat during normal conditions, desperation in times of societal decline amplifies the need to remain unnoticed.
A well-kept person furtively transiting through a homeless camp on skid row is likely to attract the same attention as someone who is in a dystopian, post apocalyptic world of have versus have not.
The Gray Man Theory evolves across 3 distinct environments:
Situation Normal - Everyday life with fully functioning community services.
Heightened - Local or national disaster has partially incapacitated community services and a delay in rescue or provision of life-saving necessities are at least 3 days away (or longer)
Collapse - Community services are non-existent. Life without Rule of Law. Delivery of food to stores has stopped. Power and gas are shut down or re-routed to 'essential services'. Looting, burglary, home invasion are rampant due to lack of or an overwhelmed law enforcement service.
In any survival situation, there has to be some expectation of a return to order in the future. Whether it is returning to martial law, internment camps, or worse - it is some form of order.
Even the most resilient survivalists face challenges in a world of total collapse.
Remember when SHTF, today's heroes can be tomorrow's villains - all it takes is a desperate father to hear the hungry cries of his children to test the willingness to forcefully take from others.
