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

[Bliksem]

Point out what has happened in other areas of the world, and if that happened to your country how you would be able to cope with it.
What i have learned is to never call a prep a prep. The energy saving or starting a new hobby line etc seems to work a lot better. ut I still discuss certain scenarios as I see them develop on TV with her as well as real life as I live in South Africa. In the last two weeks alone there have been riots and strikes which are great examples to see how we can overcome certain situations.

Kill and bury current OH in the garden (or feed 'em to the chickens.)
Get new "prepper friendly" OH.
Never tell a soul of your past indiscretions.

I was going to say" if OH not on board, get a new OH!"

Well, Folks, thanks for the interesting and (mostly) constructive comments on my problem. I certainly will not be swapping OH for a new prepper model - I'm used to this one and I'm sure he will rise to the challenge (which hopefully isn't going to arise!).

I'm not too sure the seduction method would work either, Scythe, I'd have difficulty keeping a straight face, and bartering favours isn't really me.

I think I'll have to keep on doing what I do, and one day when he has to get into my larder using a machete and stepladder the light may dawn on what I've been up to.

I think we'll be o.k.

I hear that!

I'm lucky, my wife knew I was a wrong 'un long before we got together. She's well an truly on board with prepping too, she often sends links to me of prepping related or self sufficiency items or articles

Cracking set of norks too, which helps
