Who Has To Plan For Kids?

With the discussion on the Lady Bug Out Bag I'm curious as to how many others of you are prepping around having children as an integral part of your plan.

I know many on here are older but I'm curious, for those of you where your kids have left home do you have any insights to share in how you planned when they were still home? I think that could be insightful.

Also, do those grownup kids still follow what you tried to teach and instill into them growing up or have they gone away from being prepared?

 

That is so cool Keith. So your boys aren't passing it down to your grandkids? or the grandkids just don't have an interest in learning it?

 

Good afternoon Country Guy,

Ref 1: n/a

Ref 2: "any insights"; My daughter was actively involved in hurricane preparations as soon as we went "on alert"/"battle stations". She helped with everything except certain fuels (not propane cartridges). She loaded batteries in all flashlights and ran commo checks on the telephones. She folded updated and annotated maps and placed them in truck. Also, she was directly in charge of what I called" cabin fever kit", a combination education/entertainment kit eg a Sony Walkman and more tapes than food, some thin,small books, pamphlets and small historical atlas.

Ref 3: "still follow...?"; Yes. My daughter and son in law and grand kids sleep with socks next to boots. They have multi-tools and field clothes, rubber boots and various size duffels. Their food supplies up in the Swamp is better than here at my shack in the woods. They have cash in case of evacuation.

My overall "insight" is involvement. The civil defense pamphlets didn't work for me and the current stuff is the old stuff with a new agency logo.

FN: Appreciate reply re Explorers.

 

Good afternoon Keith,
