In our latest episode “Don’t Say Never! Will Your Family Have to Move In?”, Todd tackles a scenario many preppers would prefer to avoid—the possibility of family members needing to join your household during challenging times. Drawing from personal experiences and insights from Food Storage Moms’ Linda Loosli, the discussion challenges the common prepper stance of “you didn’t prepare, so you can’t stay here” by asking a crucial question: will your spouse and children really support turning away loved ones when crisis strikes? As economic pressures mount and multi-generational living becomes increasingly common, this episode offers valuable perspective on balancing preparedness priorities with family obligations.

The conversation explores practical aspects of multi-generational living, from housing arrangements and financial considerations to the importance of clear communication and established boundaries. Rather than viewing family integration as a threat to your prepper lifestyle, this episode presents strategies for creating mutually beneficial living situations that respect everyone’s needs while maintaining household stability. Whether you’re currently managing a multi-generational household or simply want to prepare for this possibility in an uncertain future, this episode provides essential insights for preserving both your preparedness goals and your family relationships when loved ones need your support most.
