A couple of them have wised up and started making their own preparations. One guy actually said he'd have to re-evaluate our relationship. "Fine" was all I said.

Good. He's one less concern for you as he won't be coming with his hands out.

So, he's bent out of shape because you won't let him come and mooch off of you? Who needs a friend like that anyway?

The more people who we can get to think this through, the better.

Really. Announcing that you intend to mooch off someone who has spent literally years making sure I've got my family taken care of isn't a good plan for nurturing a long term friendship.

Roger that. We started picking like minded folks out of our Neighborhood Watch and sort of cultivating them in a 'prepper' sense.

It took a couple of years but now we've got half a dozen families stocked up for months. They're helping their neighbors the way we helped them.

Then we've got the "government will take care of us" types. They'll get nothing from us.
