About the Original Video
This article reviews the video “The 10 Silent Rules of Survival No One Tells You” by A Small Town Prepper. Full credit goes to the original creator for presenting these rules in a clear and memorable way. Here, we’ll highlight the main points and share why they matter to our preparedness community.
Key Takeaways from the Video
The video lays out ten “silent rules” designed to keep a survivor alive when chaos breaks out. Here’s the breakdown:
- Never Be the Loudest Person — Stealth beats showmanship every time.
- Trust Is Earned Slowly — Don’t reveal your supplies or plans too quickly.
- Move Like a Shadow — Apply the gray-man principle and blend in.
- Don’t Waste Calories — Every action should serve a purpose.
- Secure Water First — Without water, everything else collapses.
- Fire Only When Safe — Fire can warm you, but it can also expose you.
- Silence Your Camp — Light and sound attract unwanted attention.
- Always Have Two Exits — Never trap yourself; always plan alternatives.
- Watch People More Than the Disaster — Desperate humans are often the biggest threat.
- The Rule of Patience — Survival is endurance, not a sprint.
What We Thought
Overall, we give this a favorable review. This video does a solid job of moving beyond the “checklist” approach to prepping. Instead of focusing on what to pack, it drills into how to think and act. The advice about trust, fire, and patience stood out as especially practical. While some points are familiar to seasoned preppers, the video ties them together in a simple, memorable way. The production is straightforward, but the content hits the mark.
Go ahead and watch the video and give us some questions to cover as a follow up.
Our Next Step
We’ll be following up soon with a response article here on Prepper on the Plains, applying these “silent rules” directly to life in the Great Plains—where wide-open spaces, severe weather, and rural communities change the survival equation. Stay tuned for our own version: practical, regional, and tested against real-world challenges.
