RE: Family
My family totally oblivious to possible SHTF scenarios, maybe channel 4's "Blackout" might make them blink a few times? Huh

All in-laws are totally skeptical about anything and everything outside their cosy little lives, God help them if any disaster creeps up on them! Undecided

yep, same here, at least wife's grandchildren have been in the scouts, have learnt to shoot an air rifle, archery, can light a fire without a match and cook, but I don't give there parents much hope, too busy earning money and having foreign holidays.

cant see many round here watching that "Blackout" programme especially if it clashes with strictly come dancing or other such stuff, those that do watch will think its a good story but promptly forget it the following day!

RE: Family
EVERYBODY you meet seems oblivious these days, just look at Syria hardly anything in the mainstream media about it.
If anything happens because of it it'll be a complete surprise for most people.

The worlds in an oblivious bubble.

oh I think step daughter is aware but is too busy with her own little life(she teaches sociology at Barnstaple college, husband is a brickie/builder) to do anything about it, her comment a long time back was "I cant have an opinion, I've got kids"-which seemed a stupid thing to say to me I thought that would make it more imperitive? people are weird!

yep, said on the midday news Obama is still determined to bomb Syria, that I think will see the whole middle east go up in flames, the repercussions don't bear thinking about, terrorist atrocities in the west as least, WW3 at the worst!!

RE: Family
So much going on in the world today, so much so that it kinda makes you numb.

I've also given up trying to have intelligent discussions with people who should know better but are just are not interested. So long as their comfort zones aren't breached, they're blissfully ignorant and blissfully happy.

I'll just keep on prepping quietly to myself.
