There is a slow change occurring in my household. At first, when I started talking about being prepared for disaster or any other event, my family looked at me like I was a complete moron. Right after the tornado dropped a 150 foot pine tree on my Hummer, the wife decided that being prepared for ‘stuff’ was a good idea. And, when the recent snow storm left us without power for 8 days, the wife was happy we were prepared because we didn't miss a beat! Heck, we had cable TV before we had power.![Grin [grin] [grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif)
This year for Christmas I asked my oldest daughter what she wanted for Christmas. Her reply shocked me but made me smile. Her answer was (drum roll please)…… a bug out bag! That’s right, my daughter wants a 'fully' populated bug out bag. My... my… my… how the worm has turned! She is moving to Missouri for work and she realized that she needed to be prepared. Makes a dad smile, it does!
So, Christmas shopping for the daughter was a little strange this year, but it sure made me proud!
