It is much easier to simply prep for yourself and your immediate family. I sat down with my in-laws, and asked them what they wanted me to do if the SHTF....

They said to take care of ourselves and the kids if we had to go. They even offered to help with $$$ if we needed it.

This is the gold standard of family.

My response was to help them to make their own preps. They declined. They declined everything. Food, weapons, training, meds, everything. They know that if the SHTF, they will not survive it, and they know that their presence would jeopardize the kids.

It is a hard thing to bear. I don't know that I can leave them behind. So, I include them in my calcs. Just the way it has to be. We will have to stand together.

I fervently hope that the day will never come. I can do a lot of really unsavory things, but that is not a decision that I want to ever have to make. I have been blessed with the greatest in-laws ever. I count them as my friends.

Good luck to all.
