Seriously if it's an issue that causes problems tell him you want to be prepared in case of a "natural" disaster. It never hurts to have extra food on hand.
What if one of you looses a job? You now have food to sustain you until you can find work.

I feel for you GypsK, i know exactly what you mean. I am lucky enough to have a wife who not just understands but actually agrees with me. The rest of my family think im nuts haha!!
I started preparing for SitX about 5 years ago and, at first, i would tell people (friends/work colleagues) about my thoughts. I have now given up telling people, it’s not worth the hassle. I know that sounds a bit cold but I’m fed up of being ridiculed for trying to help others.
.........
It amazes me how much faith people have in the system/government and how completely inept they have become because of this fake bubble they live in. I fear if something big did happen most people would die sitting in their armchairs watching TV... waiting for it to tell them what to do.
I must admit though... some of the theory’s/ideas i read on these forums do make me question the authors sanity hehe...
I try not to get too carried away with it all, I don’t know about reptilians or green space monkeys taking over the USA in an attempt to enslave the human race. But I do know what history has shown me...
......
Stick to your guns... don’t be bullied into system dependence... be prepared and watch for the warning signs.
Good Luck

Here is what you should tell him:
You should tell him that he is supposed to be the protector - the man.
He is the one who should be doing this. Does the global economic depression not faze him?
Tell him that since he has not been willing to take measures to ensure the safety of his family that you have taken it upon yourself.
Tell him that you didn't say anything earlier because you didn't want to emasculate him or chastise him for neglecting his duties as a protector.
Tell him that you have made the preparations you would have expected him him to make when you married him. Tell that if something happens, he doesn't have to eat your stored food or drink your stored water if he doesn't want to.
*You are right to do what you are doing. He is wrong to leave it up to you to ensure the survival of your family.
