I'm still having to go the softly softly approach with my relatives. For example, the US defaulting would be a pretty plausible economic shtf event, which is very likely to affect us and other countries like Greece and Ireland.
I've just about got to the point where they agree if I say "You should probably get some cash out of the bank, and keep the tank topped up, it may be like the petrol tankers strike again, where everyone panicked and made it much worse" without getting a strange look.
My dad is still very much a sheep though. He has his stuff taking up space all over the house, and he moans at me for storing a few cases of bottled water, tinned food, and other stuff, under the bed in my old bedroom, and doesn't seem to get the idea of rotation of stored food. I say he can take what he wants, as long as he replaces it. What is there not to understand?

Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!
