Mine is aware as well as the kids, both adults, they humour me and keep OPSEC although the don't believe anything will happen. They are happy to join in when I go shooting or do something they like but avoid the tests if they can.

I prepare for them anyway. I am not happy with it but accept it.

My partner AlyBear is into it, but I would say she is more of a fair weather accepter/humourer.

I have taken to prepping very actively and am intensely upping my efforts. She seems to be slacking off and lowering her interest. She says she is interested, which is cool, and she accepts it with me (to a point) but also encourages some things, like camping and learning bushcraft/survival skills.

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being a sheeple, and 10 being SD, NR, BP kind of level, I would say she is a 3. Maybe a 3.5 at best. It's better than not at all, but it's not intense enough to take the initiative.

When I move out into my own place, her house will have 0 preps, other than the half prepared GHB I made for her (contents, survival tin, a knife, and 2 litres of water. She said she would load it up as of and when she needed to).

Having my own place means the world to me now! It's 100% time to prep!!!!

My missus is moderately keen on prepping, far more so since we started focusing on food issues more than medical or security issues, baking, preserving, cooking etc sher is very keen upon, she also now understands the full value of survival kit in cars and driving a 4x4 instead of a mobile organ doner box. She loves the free heat and pleasure of the wood burner. So I'd say shes at 80% of potential.
The only problem with her I found was the Bi**** is a better shot with a shotgun than I am !!!!!! Smile

My wife is not a believer. She is opposed to my Prepping. I do not think that many women are interested but I do believe that those who are, are excellent. They are fully comitted. Kenneth Eames.

I don't know what you mean by 'and say N.R. told us to do it' He really did tell me to.

I hope AlyBear doesn't read this. No wait......N.R. told me to post here.
