Yes Montanero, the recent wild weather - first the tornadoes, then the almost hurricanes - have more than convinced some of my friends that having some things set aside for a rainy/windy day is a good idea.
Wife has always supported the extra food, camping gear, guns and ammo that we have. Figures if we have it and don't need it it's much better than needing it and not having it.
Fact is, it's her idea to go the gun show this weekend. Woot
