How many times have you taken offfor a trip, only to arrive at the destination and realize you forgot to pack an important item? Have you had to change your route on the fly when an originally chosen dirt road or trail wasn’t drivable?
All too often, we’re faced with situations that require us to pivot. In the overlanding life, it’s a regular occurrence, and we learn to take changes and challenges in stride. After all, who really plans to crack a diffwhen out on the trail? No one.
The perfect plan can be quickly altered at the snap of the fingers. Whether it’s plans for a trip (or for me, plans for a TREAD issue), I’m constantly planning and replanning … to then adjust the plan again. Rather than be upset and dwell on the cause of the change, I accept reality and problem-solve for a different solution. We all do it.
