Both of my parents are on-board with prepping now. My dad had been for a while but my mom decided that we needed things to help survive if SHTF. She came to her senses after reading a book called "the dead and the gone" its part of a series about the moon getting closer to earth and causing tidal waves, earthquakes ect. If you have a friend or family member that you want to get into prepping so A. you don't have to turn them away or B. you dont want them to be a leech. Then get them to read it. This will make things a whole lot easier.

Congratulations. I'm betting that a few nudges from you may have helped as well. :2thumb:

Good job Lex.

Although I find it ironic that a fictional piece is what convinced her! The moon is actually moving away from the earth a few centimeteres each year, not closer. See Curious About Astronomy: Is the Moon moving away from the Earth? When was this discovered? if you want a more info on this and on tides and gravity and orbits and such.

Thank you. And I think that even though the book was fiction it made her realise something could happen.
