What would you do if you began chaotically teleporting

The Sum of Awe

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
1. If you suddenly began teleporting to random places, within but not limited to the earth let alone the galaxy, every couple of minutes or less.

2. If you suddenly began skipping through time, both past and future, at random moments of time. Like the first one, it's unpredictable where (or when) you go next.

Would it be possible to prepare for the unknown? Especially if that unknown is more often dangerous than not?

There was a television series that explored that issue.

From what @allfoak said,
"His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear",
to give information on the random locations and times.

If it is entirely random locations in space and time throughout the galaxy, the vast likelihood is that you would be dead after the first such leap: the galaxy is mostly empty space (by comparison to the earth's surface). You'd need something like the improbability drive from Hitchhiker's Guide...

If I were to teleport somewhere randomly in the universe the odds are extremely high (literally astronomically high) that I would die on the first teleport. And if I did by some amazingly survive the first teleport, I certainly would not survive the second.

You're dead. It's only a matter of time you're teleported into something or into the vacuum of space. Or deep under water. You might survive the vacuum bit depending on how long it is and if your mouth was closed...but the others will probably kill you.

See above. The only difference is that you might die before you're born or you might out-live every other creature on planet Earth.
