I find it a very fine line to tread. I have a feeling that we'll have a houseful, should the SHTF - but they're not the entitled yahoos that are normally out there. We have elderly neighbors across the street, two more behind our home, an elderly widowed woman that is a neighbor, our best friends in Castle Rock that understand about prepping, but have very little room for preps...and I may be forgetting some. We have newish neighbors and I suspect they also may be preppers, but I've not found a way to bring up the subject just yet. This means I have my work cut out for me, but as we value these people and understand they may contribute as a small community, I welcome them to our little Compound.

Oh, and those people that suggest that "they know where they're going" when the SHTF that are NOT in the pre-approved group? I tell them we're going to be long gone by that time, and we're taking all our stuff with us. Wyoming. The Black Hills. The mountains. Whatever comes to mind first.
