    Yep. Mine watched The Road and that was all it took. I haven't gotten her to read One Second After yet, but when she does, I'm sure she'll be locked in even tighter. I did get my parents to read One Second After though. I think that got my dad to start thinking a little as well.

    We rented "The Road" last night, but her respose was "this movie is depressing. We should watch one of the other ones."

    So maybe suggestions where preparedness makes a positive difference to a family? Heck, maybe with some romantic overtones.

    You're just going to have to prep for her. Sounds like she isn't mentally prepared to even consider that as a possibility. Unfortunately, lots of people are like that.


    My wife says to tell her that "The Road" was written by Danielle Steel.

    God, I wish Danielle Steele would write one of these.

    The Road movie is not the way initiate the prep idea. Totally slow,depressing movie. You may try the book if she likes reading. I did the book first followed by the movie and I understand why the movie was kind of a flop to the non-prepper. Also a lot of the natural disasters that we've had lately to me are a great wake up call to prepping. Good Luck

    This is the way that I started building up my food stock. Every time I went into a store I would buy an extra couple cans of food, or a pack of matches or lighters, or batteries, or propane bottles, etc.

    Also, for a while with every paycheck I would go buy a box of ammo.
