Here are a couple of things I learned doing jobs in bad cities and bad countries. Don't draw attention to your self, no jewlery, just a cheap plastic watch ( no wedding bands), no military boots or expensive sneakers with known logos, no brief cases or lap top bags, No black, OD, camo, bright or military style clothing. Don't wear clothes that draw attention too you, wear what the locals wear. Do carry a give away wallet with some cash and fake pictures and old phone cards and blank gift cards and fake address and phone number even fake buiness cards. , carry as much of your kit on your person as you can conceal, that way should you have to give up or drop your bag as a decoy you are not empty handed. My bag was a very dirty looking and ducktaped gray backpack ( no bright colors or military style packs ). Attached to my pack was a card board shipping tube, you would be amazed at what types weapons or tools that will fit in a standard cardboard shipping tube. I even had my passport photo and drivers license and other ID's taken in work clothes and farm coat and unshaved, that way if passport or ID was taken I did not look like I would be worth any money and did not look to interresting. I also don't plaster gun or hunting or NRA stickers all over my truck. We were told to look like every other fish in the pond because the gold fish among carp gets the most attention. The best compliment we cold get is I didnt even see you or notice you or we didn't even know you were there.
