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

Well, if they're expecting the government to take care of them, let them.
Idiots......
The only people who aren’t living with us who we’ll take in is my college age kids. They are in apartments on their own with very limited budgets and simply CANNOT make the kind of preparations necessary. What I’m doing, I’m doing with them in mind for the present.
When they are finally self-sufficient, I will have a good long talk with them about preparedness and they’re on their own at that point.
It is so easy to have a small store of non-perishable food that will be enough to get you by for a couple months.
