    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.

    this is going to be my new response to my friends that don't prep. It's a much nicer way of saying get lost
