So What does Your Other Half Think?

She loves going out in the woods, hanging upside down on a rock face, riding through the country....dragging me along, running miles, going to the gym, learning bushcraft skills, and as we're looking for a house together, if I say "No good for storage" she knows what I mean and that will cancel the house straight off our list!

She does think I'm a bit intense with the amount of time I spend on the forum. Also, laughs at some of the situations and their effect on the human body (look at her, all high and mighty with her degree, a first, in human biology and nutrition, acting like she knows what happens.....which I think she probably does).

But she's cool with prepping, as long as I'm not living in a fantasy future, and am able to keep hold of reality.

Having said that, she has capped my expenditure on preps (tins etc). But that's able to be circumnavigated by using stealth ninja shopping....going shopping when she's not around!

Hi Scythe13,
You mention health and I think that is very important too. The wife and I both shed two stone each by eating right and doing just basic exercise together. We have always had the ability to know what the other is thinking and that means that we waste very little time explaining ourselves. Good for you by the way, you sound like a 'kick ass' team.

Generally I think that all these books on 'how to be a better person', 'understand your wife/husband' etc are a 'Crock of Doo Doo'!

Working together at prepping really brings you together and if it don't well maybe something needs to go because extra bagage isn't good...And I don't mean the dodgey wind up torch you got from Lidl!
