I find it best to start with a really possible real world scenario. Flooding over a wide area, massive snow storm knocks out power for a week, etc. This tends to act like a filter letting you know who is of “like mind” without having to go full prepper on them.

When one lives on top of a fault line one needs no excuse.

Do: Know what scenario(s) you are prepping for.
Don’t: Tell anyone you don’t need to tell.

My 12-year-old son is still a bit uncomfortable talking about prepping.

If he has more than one pencil for school, he's a prepper.

Zombies - If the sister has ever seen on the local news where someone has broken into a home and stolen a tv, then she knows zombies are real. Zombies are takers which is why she has locks on her doors and probably an alarm system.
