Last week I had a buddy over at my house. This is a guy who I have known for years but I never told him about me prepping. I was showing him my new shotgun, that I have locked in a gun case in my closet. He followed me into the closet, where I have shelves of stored food and supplies. He looked at me like I was a little crazy, asking if I believed the Mayan end of the world crap. I told him no, but I believe something will happen, soon maybe. I said I am a "prepper". I prepare for something that may never happen. I prepare for as many different scenarios as possible, so I may have a fighting chance when SHTF. Still a little skeptical he smiled and said that's not a bad idea, and that he only thought crazy people did this. I laughed and said some people think it's crazy, I personally think it's me being ready. I went through and showed him my food stock, inventory list, and supplies. After almost an hour of questions, he asked me to print him off a list so he could start doing the same
. This is a person I would like to have involved when shtf, for hunting, and access to a BOL, and the fact that I've known the guy since we were kids.
This is the first person I have told about me prepping, other then my "very understanding" wife. I feel like it went well.
Have you had this happen? How have you "come out to people" like close friends or family about your prepping endeavors? What were their reactions? How open are you about prepping?
I'm not open about it, I was at wal-mart the other day buying 55 hour emergency candles and camping-stove propane bottles, and the guy at the counter asked if I was expecting a power outage. I replied that I spent all my money on drugs so they shut my power off.. He didn't ask any more questions lol.
