I believe in never interferring in other people's lives.......but I'm going to bud in here........ To the spouse's, whether you be Man or Woman, please keep hiding your preps. Do you have a trusted friend or family member, have you networked? Can you rent a small storage unit? No, they don't want to accept what you are saying, because that would make it real. They simply choose not to believe. The people I work with will not have anything to do with my discussions on conspiracy or even putting away some water and rice. I don't get it. I don't believe in sneaking, lying, deception of any sort, especially in a marriage, a union of love and trust.......... but their survival counts on you doing these very things, you need to keep ploding ahead in building your supplies. Do you know how to bury your cache? Just picture this...... SHTF, you dig up your supplies that you've hidden as your partner just stares at you. You're calm (because you've prepared) and decisive taking control of your family situation. You load your vehicle, load your stuff, give your family a water bottle and a package of pop tarts any flavour, you pick (comfort food) that you had on top - easy access for the family trip. You get to a location you have picked to set up your retreat. Your family is still in shock. You set up. You light the camp stove for heat and warm drinks before bed. Your family goes to sleep while you stand watch over them. You will hear crying. Your dog sits on your feet, because the dog knows whats going on. The sun rises, your family awakes. Not so much in shock now, they realize that their world has been turned upside down. They look at you "Dad" or "Mom", they say to you "it really was true", then there are tears, and then you get the biggest hugs of your life. It's this end result you need to focus on. Your family is alive, somewhat shaken, and they have a newly awakend respect for you, because you did what you felt you needed to do!! Job well done.

For the love of humanity i hope it's that simple for a lot of folks. I really believe if it comes down to being forced out of our homes it will be much worse then that.

My wife knows that i prep. She says nothing to any one about it. No complaints. She points out deals and sales in fliers for all kinds of stuff not just food. One real good friend does, He is welcome here along with his wife and two kids as they are workers. They do not take anything for granted. Their son is 7 and he does more work at their home then most 20 year olds do. The girl is older and very helpful also. He is ex city police, both of them are ex forestry. My preps just look like a well orginized store room. bins on shelves. We do have a well stocked pantry but its common out in the country so that doesn't stand out. I pray for all you good folks out there. I have been trying to up my extended family (likeminded folks) incase someone is a long ways from home and need a place to get outta harms way.. Your on the road or i'm on the road, SHTF can happen any time. Think of it as a open door for a over night stay to continue your journey home and a few resources given to you to aid in your journey.

I like your approach JustDoIt. Since we met afew months ago, I've managed to get a bit more buy in from the wife. She's not quite leading when it comes to prepping, but at least, I can be open about getting preps without the fear of getting THAT evil look...

BTW, if you're in my neck of the woods and stranded, my door is open for ya!

On our next meet I will give you my number.. The same for you when it comes to open door policy. That is good news with the wife.. Some times that's the biggest hurdle..
