What do you do when your OH is not "onboard"?

[MaryN]

My beloved OH, an ex-services chap and a very competent and capable man thinks the whole thing is a bit of a joke! Actually, his most-often made comment is that he will deal with things when they affect us! Goody!

It is so frustrating because I know he would be brilliant at all this organisational stuff. But he doesn't take much notice of the more esoteric points of the news (and so doesn't pick up on those alarming little details), and cannot be bothered with the more alarming news stories. It's all media hype.

But he has done all the survival courses, is a crack shot and has the innate instinct for survival and organisation that seems to present it in the military types. Why, oh why, doesn't he get it!

One small triumph for me, I think I've got him interested in getting a genny..... not for the practical side of being prepared, but because I suspect he would enjoy playing with it!

I give up!
