I discuss various aspects of my BOB with my hiking friends, good packs to use, best lightweight sleep systems, wilderness medic skills and all kinds of things. One friend loves to go bare basic camping with me, we just take minimal gear and supplies, what can fit into a small book bag type back pack, build our own shelters, hunt, gather and fish and stuff like that. We are just sharing a hobby that just so happens to tie into my preps. They dont know that.<br />Same with canning, growing food, knitting and various things on that line of thought. I have a another group of friends who are into all that kind of thing, we have even started spinning our own wool and going completely back to basics on a lot of these things, yet again its just a hobby that ties into my long term preps. They dont know that.<br /><br />Same goes for hunting, fishing, alternative power sources and a whole lot more, all just interests and hobbies that I share with others until I need to utilize those skills. Being able to discuss these things and put them into practise means I learn from others and will already be using these skills when they start to matter.Kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-4113894895832989342011-03-09T06:44:07.807-06:002011-03-09T06:44:07.807-06:00To: John

Loan them books, DVD's. A good start is "Dare to prepare" by Holly Deyo, or "Making The Best Of Basics" by James Stevens, or "The Encyclopedia Of Country Living" by Carla Emery. Talk to them about gardening, canning, camping hunting, fishing. Talk to them about the Lord, Jesus Christ.<br /><br />But DO NOT tell others what you have or may have, stored away.<br /><br />Bob<br />IIIidahobobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857771751176894988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-36862707649923722652011-03-08T14:16:01.862-06:002011-03-08T14:16:01.862-06:00Anyone that asks about my berkley water filter I t...Anyone that asks about my berkley water filter I tell 'em its equipped to take out the flouride in the water which the EPA has said infants shouldn't have. This way we don't have to buy "baby" water to make formula... Simple explanations are the best and happens to be true as well.<br />I also agree if you say nothing how do you get your neighbors, co-workers and friends to start thinking about their preparedness?Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535851252930517222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-13474817615271375892011-03-08T12:21:12.116-06:002011-03-08T12:21:12.116-06:00The thing of it is that if you tell no one anythin...The thing of it is that if you tell no one anything they can't prepare. And you also can't assume that you will be able to hide it all the time. <br /><br />How will you hide the fact that your family isn't starving to death while everyone else is?<br /><br />I focus on the 72 hour kit if they get that far they can learn more themselves.FamilyLifeBoathttp://familylifeboat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-24112087353756003642011-03-08T09:52:56.059-06:002011-03-08T09:52:56.059-06:00To: idahobob
