[QUOTE="jakerz, post: 2027688, member: 18966"] I know when a buddy and I started with this whole prepping thing, we were going to limit it to our 2 families. About 3 months ago we decided that was a bad idea. You need more people. Or, at least, we feel that we do. More people to handle the day to labors and more people to protect the fruits of that labor. I for one, do not want my wife or any children to have to "fight". That doesn't mean the wife can't defend herself (better than most fellas I know) if the need arises. I just would prefer to have more able bodied men to keep her from having to. We decided to include more of our own families and close friends. However, this is a difficult subject to bring up. The thing we are worried about most, is those that show up not having anything at all. For that reason, I have asked those that do sound interested to at least show up with X amount of food. I'm an avid shooter and so is my friend, and I feel between the 2 of us (plus his father) we have enough ammo, and firearms to supply those that do not. My biggest worry is food. I'd love to say "no food = sorry, you ain't coming", but it's not in me to do this. Definitely have a lot more to go over, learn, and discuss, but we are getting there slowly. Also, no matter how much we prepare, I don't think I'll ever be ready... Just have to roll with it. [/QUOTE]
