Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Buy a few MRE's and show her the little tobasco bottle in there. Then look at the package and say these things keep for three years on the shelf. "We should buy some just in case. And I like the taste of chicken flavored mac and cheese."

I guess I got lucky. I just started buying some things to have extra around the house in case of emergency. Next thing I know she's on a full blown prepper shopping spree every time she goes to the store and telling me I need more guns and ammo too. Now if I only had the funds to fully prep like I want to.
A little at a time. Some items I may never use but we have on hand. The trick is to do what you can. Some big ticket items you have to save for or just keep looking.Originally Posted by Rooskibar03
A few of my items I never thought about buying but they were so cheap I could not resist. Some things you can upgrade depending on the $$ amount. A couple of cheap lanterns for $20 then one day if you see a deal you may pick up an Aladdin and they are great in the winter because besides light they can heat your place as well.
Just some thoughts.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
Yup, we used to live up in Edwards and it would almost get scary when 70 was closed and nothing could make it to the hills. It would only take hours to pick all the dairy, produce, meats, and bakery, after the second day all the water was gone along with everything else thats easy to cook, then after three days it was almost picked clean. All of that under a short-term, local shortage was enough to convince my wife.

Our power went out this morning, yeah me and like everyone else on the front range. I was supposed to have medical procedure, but the hospitals power went off too. Well the power stayed off, and we ended up going home. But while we were there she suggested we should get a home generator. So maybe this will be a good place to start. But keep the suggestions coming in, because I REALLY appreciate them.
Mine is simple.. 5000w gen to switch to house box - 100amp breaker (or 50?) I don't remember.
Most of my family think I'm paranoid as it is. Then my wife and mother read One Second After. Ya, that did it.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
Yep. Mine watched The Road and that was all it took. I haven't gotten her to read One Second After yet, but when she does, I'm sure she'll be locked in even tighter. I did get my parents to read One Second After though. I think that got my dad to start thinking a little as well.

We rented "The Road" last night, but her respose was "this movie is depressing. We should watch one of the other ones."
So maybe suggestions where preparedness makes a positive difference to a family? Heck, maybe with some romantic overtones.
