Knowing how to survive isn’t about being tougher or braver. It’s about knowing when to stay — and when to leave. This video breaks down five rules used in real-world conflict and applies them to urban survival and civilian decision-making. I’m not claiming combat experience. I’m a civilian. But I’ve been a student of history and warfare my entire life — and history is clear: In Berlin, 1945, the city didn’t kill people. Timing did. Some held. Some left. Very different outcomes. In this video we cover: • Mission and responsibility • Sustainment (water, food, meds, heat) • Threat capability and proximity • Defensibility of your position • Exit routes and timing Survival doesn’t reward hesitation. It rewards people who plan early — and are willing to act before they’re forced to.
