In this podcast, I go over how I have changed since becoming interested in preparedness and how prepping in general, has changed over the years. When you first get into preparedness, it’s basically about food, water “Doomsday”. After a while, you start to understand that there is much more we need to prepare for than an EMP or World War 3. Once you’ve been prepping for a while, it becomes a mindset. I go over how preparedness has changed in the last decade and how and why it has become more accepted by the mainstream. There are both positive and negative aspects because of the prepping popularity and the “survival industry.” Also, with the new year upon us, I wanted to give my thoughts on what we might be in for heading into 2023. I hesitate to call these “predictions for 2023” because they are more of an educated guess.
