OPSEC stands for Operational Security. In simple terms, it means keeping your mouth shut, your profile low, and your plans private. It’s a concept borrowed from the military, but it’s just as essential in the prepping world. Because no matter how many supplies you’ve stockpiled or how many skills you’ve learned—if everyone knows about it, you just became a target.

In Episode 395, we’re diving into the gritty truth about prepper OPSEC: why it matters, how to practice it, and the most common ways people screw it up.

Loose lips sink ships—and in the prepping world, they empty pantries.

You might think you’re just being helpful by sharing your food storage on social media or talking to your neighbor about your new off-grid setup. But in a crisis, the people who ignored preparedness will remember that you’re the one who didn’t. They’ll come knocking—or breaking in.

During natural disasters, civil unrest, or economic breakdowns, desperation flips switches in people’s brains. Friends become looters. Neighbors become threats. Your preps become their survival plan.

Good OPSEC isn’t paranoia—it’s discipline.

It’s not just what you say—it’s what you click.

Prepping is about thinking ahead. OPSEC is part of that. If you’re serious about survival, you need to think beyond food and gear—and start thinking about who knows what.
