5.56 I liked and will use your analogy in the future. I am a widow now, so basically a single mom raising my family. However that is no excuse for not being prepared and in my view it is a cowardly frame of mind to use that fact as an excuse.

My son's are aware of all going on and the need to prepare. We all live together and each of us have different skills. Each of us continue to learn how to advance those skills and learn new skills so when SHTF we can take care of us to the best of our ability.
