How to tell your spouse

[smokingman]

Another poster posted this --->HURRICANE KATRINA (thank you Shftn6)and I agree it is probably the absolute best prep/survival/rebuild site I have ever come across. Some of you have asked how to even start your spouse on the prep subject others may need a little push to actually start reading what I think is the best site out there for any person who thinks they are prepared(or wants to be).So I am linking one page to give you an idea how good this site really is.That page is on talking with your spouse or someone else you would like to be a little more prepared.
Here it is....clicky--->HURRICANE KATRINA

Both links show up as Hurricane Katrina.I assure you the first one is the main page and the second is about talking to your spouse/loved ones.If you want to prepare or think you are prepared....you should spend a few hours of your life and read everything on this site.

Great idea Smokingman! Luckily my wife is already on board with the concept, even though I do 90% of the work! I'm going to have to work on the peripheral family though.

I would also like to take the liberty of linking to the one page that completely changed my thinking as it pertains to prepping-

HURRICANE KATRINA

BOBs, BOVs, how many mags to carry on your war belt, and the most expeditious methods to slay the zombie hordes are all good things to consider, but each of us is FAR more likely to suffer a personal disaster in the form of a home fire. Most of us have no idea how much hassle and time is involved just trying to rebuild your life after such an event, assuming you still have your life! Shaun's concept of HYST (Having Your S**t Together) in the form of essential personal documents (social security card, scanned family photographs, etc) is something all of us can do, with very little cash outlay. It covers your vulnerabilities in reference to your most likely personal disaster (fire) and is completely necessary and useful in other less likely scenarios (tornados being #2, and earthquakes being #3 in Indiana). You'll need all of this info to begin REBUILDING YOUR LIFE AFTER the big event, whether it's a home fire, or TEOTWAWKI. His 60 second plan helps make sure you get this stuff, as well as you and yours to safety quickly. The nature of these "biggest three" emergencies that we Hoosiers face DEMANDS a response in 60 seconds or less!

This site in general and this page in particular persuaded me to refocus my efforts on preparing for the most likely events FIRST, and then once that is in place, give some thought to nuclear disaster and those zombie hordes.
