long story short, i finally have the go ahead to start stocking up, granted, i don't have the money to do it now either, but i at least have the ok to start doing it within our means.
i know that there are more guys out there (and gals, i'm sure) that are in the same boat, trying to get their significant other to understand why it is important to do this stuff.
let me just say that i am giddy like a fat kid in a candy store! not to have impending doom peeking around the corner, but to feel like all my "crazy" ideas about the end of the world (or, at least civilized society) as we know it to have validation and be accepted by my wife. i've felt for years like i've been watching porn and trying not to get caught doing it. i'm buying a little kit here and there, stashing some ramen in a bin in the back of the closet, or putting together bug out bags in secret down in the basement when i should be looking at porn !
well, now i'm out of the closet! it has really boosted my morale (which, honestly, has been pretty low lately.)
not trying to gloat. just sharing a happy moment.
if you're still trying to convince someone else that prepping is a good thing, tell them, if for nothing else, that it'll just plain make you happy (and likely save their life.)
thanks for reading
good luck to all.
