I'm sorry if I am about to rain on your great intentions, but if someone "hates the survival thing" there is nothing you can do for her. If you equip her with a B.O.B., she will probably leave it at home and not even bother to learn the basics necessary for emergency procedures. Promises made to loved ones who care are usually made so that you do not bother them about it again, and are rarely kept.

If there is any hope for changing her mindset, it will be in this paragraph that I, a complete stranger and an individual who is prepared, do seriously mean. Quite simply, if I meet her in her hour of need I will not help her because of her mindset no matter how deadly her situation is to her.

Cold?, yes but more thought provoking than the best intentions of a son who loves her. Show this post to her and then ask her to write you with details of the B.O.B. SHE HAS ASSEMBLED FOR HERSELF.

Good luck!
