Her Indoors
I'm just curious, chaps, but how do your wives/partners feel about your survival/prepping activities?
I'm the one trying to make sure I have all the cracks papered in our house. My OH (ex-armed forces and very laid back) is quite oblivious to the warning signs all around, but would probably leap into action if anything horrible happened. Do you have the support of your families?
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

RE: Her Indoors
Well I am lucky that my wife is here [ Bracken ] so is 100% in support
I do feel for those of us who`s spouse`s dont feel as we do, I am sure that they would be there with us if anything happened, but would that be too late?, it has to be very hard for one member of a household to store/prepare while the other donts agree or care
A major part of survival is invisibility.

RE: Her Indoors
OH is fine about it ... was a bit sceptical at first but after a few chats around the issues she's on board with the prepping

RE: Her Indoors
As long as I'm not 'obsessing' or spending too much time or money on it, she's cool with it.

RE: Her Indoors
Mrs NR was not sure at first but after our preps saved the day on numerous occasions she saw the light, and also she absolutely adores the foody bit of prepping such as preserving, baking, bread making, medical skills etc, my spoilt brat is also getting more and more interested, I noted that just today he was downloading prepping apps for his I phone.

Aye, she's 100% on board.
Even thinks the naughty things I get dropping through the letter box are ok.

RE: Her Indoors
It was Mrs. Bucket's idea to go serious on it.
I was happy just having a couple of weeks supplies and a wind up radio.
She's the one designing a bunker.
