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.
