There's no need to convince anyone of anything. In some respects, convincing someone to prep can be compared to convincing a devoted Jewish to become Catholic. It simply will never happen. Don't risk being typecast as the media has portrayed us. Prepare. If you truly love someone that is oblivious to the concept of prepping, then prepare for them as well. If you care about someone and want to see them survive then suggest the concept of saving for a rainy day. That's all you can do. All you can do is open the do. Don't waste your time and energy doing anything else unless they are willing to walk through...

Doing anything outside of that could make you a target as they will know where to go if SHTF. Continue to do what you do as a prepper...learn, practice, experiment and connect with like-minded people. But most importantly, enjoy your life....
