Demarcation

[MaryN]

I'm just curious, but if you are a prepper pair (i.e. spouses, partners), do you each do your own thing, or is it a joint concern? I ask this because I realise that we (OH and I) each do completely different things, which would work out to have the same result, but for different reasons. My weekly shops mean that I squirrel things away "just in case; I garden and grow things with a view to making us as self-sufficient in the fruit & veg department as I can, and my chickens provide us with ample eggs and I have an eye to taking up beekeeping hopefully soon. OH has this garage! In it he saves everything. I can usually ask for something to be done and, lo!, he has the bits saved or for recycling. Now, I know he views my anxieties with regard to future troubles with some amusement, and I can't bring myself to tell him that he is fulfilling his part in my plans all by himself, but between us we are starting to pull in the same direction.

Do you and your partners have the same aims, or is more by accident than design?
