This is a tough one.  But I am going it alone. DH and I have been doing what we can to prep and he is not fully on board.  With his health problems he is unable to do but so much, but he does try. Though I am trying to do the heavy stuff like the garden and getting it cleaned up and mulch down as we are not going to do a garden next year. But we want to keep it up in a way that we can use it the following spring.  Right now we have well over a year’s worth of food, so instead of garden I am going to concentrate on non food items.

If SHTF, my family on my side will be the ones that are in with us. Son in law keeps up on his firearms and practices much more than I am able. No where here for me to practice. My daughter has been in college as well as one of my granddaughter’s and now my grandson as well. We will be getting together if anything happens. We do talk about things we need to do but I am carrying the bulk of the load.  Though they are stocking food and they do a small garden every year. We only live 15 minutes apart so will be more than likely at my house but if a need to leave this area happens, we will all head for my grandparents old homestead.

As for DH’s side of family there is only one person we could trust and that is his granddaughter but she and her DH live in CA. Not sure how that is going to play out. She and DH have been prepping and have bob’s set at the door to leave on a moments notice. They know they can come here if they are able. I truly hope they would be able to get to us.

We live to close to military and the town is now building up around us. So I do feel a need to prepare for leaving this area. We do have something going but not yet ready for that move.
