Sorry for hijacking, Brent. Last night I had a talk with my son about why I prep. Since he's been unemployed all this time but the cupboard has never been bare, he's starting to see the light. I have a very modest retirement income but I've managed to support us both through this and have extra money for "fun" because of my garden and all of the other things I've prepped over the last year.
I did ask him what he would do if he woke up Thursday (9-11) and there was no power, no internet, no phone and he shrugged his shoulders. But, I could see the wheels turning in his head. Being the "baby" of the family, he has always been a follower though and will do anything I ask of him.
I think one of our more immediate preps should be to get a gun or guns and get my son some practice. He's never had any experience with guns. I'll talk with my son-in-law about that when I see him today. He'll take Daniel under his wing and teach him everything he needs to know.
Our defense here, whether staying or leaving, is very weak. Knives and a big dog aren't going to be much deterrent if things get bad here.
