That mindset piece you mentioned is everything, especially when things don’t go according to plan. I’ve found that confidence in handling the unexpected (not just having a pantry full of canned beans) makes all the difference. For me, it’s practicing little “what if” scenarios—like finding new uses for household items or stretching meals a bit further—that keeps me sharp. OldTimerJohn, do you find your mindset has shifted over the years, or was this always your approach to preparedness? Sometimes I think adapting is the real supply we should focus on.
