 I’ve seen many comments here over the last 6 months discussing how some are trying to bring friends and family into the world of “being prepared”. I’ve mentioned it in my own comments. I notice there are some success stories, but I also notice there are some endings that weren’t expected. Do we really know our friends and, in some cases, our family. Operations security (OPSEC) is one of the most important details of prepping. I want to discuss what we might take for granted every day, but when TSHTF, who will truly stand with us or, unfortunately, against us.
