Fair Deal?

Hell i will borrow your space... 100 bucks in canned goods will allow me access to your food supplies if i so choose... sign me up.

sounds harsh but do you trust said person with you and your's lives? Only a very select few know exactly what i have stored as in 2 people. these people are fully vested not just borrowing a couple cubic feet.

Exactly right. If he has a corner of your warehouse, he effectively has access to all of it. Either via bartering, begging, or bullets. Now that he knows you've got it, he'll come calling if the SHTF regardless, you best be ready for that. Hopefully you trust him, and it'll be for bartering. I'd be real careful who you show that warehouse to going forward. But Ron is right, maybe this guy would be good to have as an extra gun when needed.

I really like the answer Jim gave... hinting at the reality that some folks will immediately turn aggressive and malicious, is a good motivator. When a husband realizes his pretty wife and/or daughter(s) are a target, his gears will start turning and he'll be better prepared for the worst, because of it.... even if it never gets that bad. It might just take some time.
