We are not ‘preppers’ we are storing for an emergency. lol
My best friend was laughing about it the other day and literally said...we will just go to your house cause we know you are prepping. I told her unless they brought something to the table they wouldn’t get in and laughed. She doesn’t know how serious I am.

I’ve warned folks too sheana. Usually, the look on my face and tone of my voice wipes the smiles from their faces.

You should be prepared for well armed looters. We are. The other night I heard one of my neighbors to the NW target shooting at night. Adds a whole new twist to our defensive plans.

You should keep some pint water bottles and a 5 gal bucket of rice and beans.

When such freeloaders/grasshoppers come by,
scoop out a cup of rice & beans into a baggy,
hand them that and a bottle of water

and send them on their way.

(beats shooting them)

When people say that to me I tell them that I'm more than happy to share the food but they are on their own for TP.

Maybe she needs to know? Maybe next time you ask her which of your kids she will choose to do without because you have to feed her family. Hard I know. Did I mention I've had the flu all week.

I don’t talk about preps to friends or neighbors. Too risky for me.

“My best friend was laughing about it the other day and literally said...we will just go to your house cause we know you are prepping. I told her unless they brought something to the table they wouldn’t get in and laughed. She doesn’t know how serious I am.”

I wouldn’t call that a BF...i’d call it a lazy leech.

My grandparents went through the Great Depression, and taught us kids about “being ready for anything”. I was squeamish at the time, but now I understand the value of knowing how to hunt & trap & fish for your food...and how to store it, for years, if necessary... And how to protect your family....

The person who expects you to take care of her is not your friend!

You laughed in response to her “joke”?

“I told her unless they brought something to the table they wouldn’t get in and [I] laughed.”

Or did you mean:

I told her unless they brought something to the table they wouldn’t get in and she laughed.
