Travel Security Philosophy - John "Shrek" McPhee- Delta Operator

About this video

McPhee discusses tactical responses to civil unrest scenarios, particularly being trapped in a vehicle during protests or riots. He shares equipment recommendations and strategies he carries, including methods for blending into crowds, creating visual obscurement, and knowing when to abandon a vehicle to ensure personal safety.

Key takeaways

• McPhee carries a backpack with specific items designed for protest/riot situations: change of clothes (to blend in), gloves, bear spray, smoke grenades, and a gas mask
• McPhee recommends orange bear spray to mark subjects for identification and orange smoke grenades for psychological effect, while understanding wind direction before deployment
• McPhee argues that vehicle safety is secondary to personal safety—leaving a vehicle behind with keys in hand is preferable to staying if a mob breaks windows, and blending into crowds is the optimal exit strategy
