I'm not going to telling the 1O grandkids "Sucks to be you!" or refuse aid to neighbors in need.

From what I gather, almost all preppers only include their immediate nuclear family. Elderly parents, uncles, aunts, adult siblings, adult kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews and so on are not mentioned so I imagine they are excluded. Friends and neighbors are also out .
