And if possible, Home School is the best.
Common sense, would include how to take care of themselves in an emergency. There will be so many people, that will not have a clue as to what to do, except to prey on those that do.
When I say, look forward, they may find the work harder, but working with the family they may find it to be the most enjoyable kind of life. But for those that have never lived this kind of life, they may need someone to guide them.

Yes, and what you said about people "preying on others"... that is something that should concern those who are preparing. It is wise to be careful and quiet about what you are doing, and not go around "bragging" about how much you may have stored up. If times get hard, and people are desperate, things will get ugly. Yet, we must remember that Christians, as the light and salt of the world, must be ready to help others as much as we can.
