Life changes fast—and preparedness is all about adapting. In today’s video, I share a major shift happening in my world: buying a van and preparing to spend up to two weeks at a time on the road. But this isn’t just about travel… it’s about how one decision can impact your budget, lifestyle, prepping strategy, and long-term readiness. I break down how to evaluate life transitions from a preparedness mindset, including: ✔ How new expenses affect your prepping budget ✔ What supplies and gear matter most when your lifestyle shifts ✔ The difference between urgent vs. non-urgent life changes ✔ How age, capability, and resources shape your planning ✔ Why adapting is one of the most overlooked survival skills THE OTHER CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@UC0fryo5VPaNfZfm1mOeDkWQ ❱❱❱ ALL OF MY LINKS: https://linktr.ee/localprepper ?
