Redundancy: The Cornerstone of Effective Preparedness

Think you're prepared for 2026? Before you answer, consider this: when was the last time you actually verified that your preps are still viable and your plans still make sense? In this episode, Todd Sepulveda kicks off the new year with a comprehensive look back at 2025's major events—both the headlines that dominated the news cycle and the ones you may have already forgotten—and examines what they reveal about the challenges preppers should anticipate moving forward.

This episode goes beyond year-in-review territory to deliver practical guidance for the year ahead. Todd shares insights from his most downloaded content of 2025, discusses critical infrastructure concerns that should be on every prepper's radar, and outlines a three-part framework for approaching preparedness in 2026. You'll be challenged to examine whether you actually have what you think you have, whether your plans account for second and third level effects, and whether you're balancing readiness with actually living your life.

As we enter a year that's already proving unpredictable, this episode provides the reset serious preppers need. The skills discussed here aren't theoretical—they're the fundamental practices that separate those who are genuinely prepared from those who simply believe they are. Take inventory, verify your plans, and widen your view of what could happen next.

Will Your Preps Pay-Off? Prepared for 2026!

Are you preparing for what's actually likely to happen, or have you been caught up in prepping for fantasy scenarios? As we close out 2025 and start looking back at our preparedness efforts, this episode challenges you to do some honest reflection on your prepping journey. Looking back at 2025, it's easy to realize that our concerns shift, our priorities change, and sometimes what felt urgent in January looks completely different by December.

Whether you're prepping for the new year or simply want to evaluate what worked (and what didn't), these three powerful reflection questions will help you assess where you've been and where you're headed. You'll discover how to identify the "busy work" preps that gave you little real peace of mind versus the actions that truly moved the needle.

This episode also digs into a hard truth many preppers don't want to hear—if 90% of your preparation addresses only 1% of probability, you might be building resilience in a fantasy world rather than for the disruptions you actually face. Preparing for 2026 starts with understanding where you've been, so grab a cup of coffee, take some time for prepper reflections, and let's get honest about preparedness in 2026.
