If yes, are they also preparing or are they choosing not to?

What I did with various members of my family is to raise the issue twice with them over a period of time, usually when some significent story or event occurs such as that bastard of a winter we had two years ago. I often use such a reference to enquire " did you get snowed in and run out of stuff to eat, or did you have extra set aside for a rainy day" Then six months later I would enquire" Winters coming again have you made any preps incase its another bad one" and if their replies are negative both times I write them off and exclude them from my preps.

The irony is they may have turned into preppers after your first chat, but by the second chat be too worried about OPSEC to tell you
