[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it sounds like he has too much time on his hands or needs a hobby. Could you refocus his prepping activities into something more productive? Maybe he could start growing food in a garden, learn how to do canning, install solar panels or compost. This is less dangerous than stockpiling weapons and would at least reduce your grocery bills/electricity bills. The composting would get him to take out the trash and do the dishes. You could suggest that he dig a well, that could keep him busy for a while.

This. I wonder if he is trying to have a sense of control and protection? It's better to prep by growing food or making things yourself, or collecting water in rain barrels to garden with. Or take up a hobby like canning, or fementing or beer making. It really sounds like he needs a hobby related to prepping, but that us useful right now and would provide some sort of interest or community. Lots of cool solar gadgets now.

That way he could "prep" and learn skills to survive, not just be paranoid with supplies. And, have a hobby.

For example: A prepper was losing his house to foreclosre so decided to donate all his hoarded prep to Puerto Rico. Saw him on the news and felt sorry for him, it was medical bills that ultimately did him in, not some sort of doomsday. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/10/09/doomsday-prepper-puerto-rico/

Good luck OP.
