You may want to use world events - like the N.E. blackouts. Talk with her about the blackout and what she would have done in the same situation. Then, as already mentioned, start slow. Like a Photon on her keychain. Or suggesting she keep a bottle of water around. Maybe keep a first-aid kit in the car and the house. Then build up from these small beginings. Don't start off telling her she needs a K-Bar! <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
