I know we have had discussions on the response to people showing up after an event who "know" you have prepared. We all try to camo our efforts in the prepping arena but something or someone will slip past. So with that being said lets get to the subject. THE THREAT....The subject shows up and at first begs then tries to reason then accuses and finally threatens to reveal or come back with others to force you to be more generous!! The thing we must come to grips with is that 1..it is not our fault or reasonability for the people and their children who have spent their time on cruises and expensive toys and not insured to the best of any ones ability that they have some basic skills and items in case of some unforeseen event. 2 ... trying to reason with someone who has the instant gratification education is going to be like discussion of Trump to a "gimmdatt" It aint gonna work. Even if you give then something that will satisfy the immediate impulse in their brain, but once the meal has worn off they will be back with children in tow insisting,pleading, threatening why do the need to go further its better here? When you give them a meal even with a strong warning only the intelligent will be able to read the tea leaves and move on the rest is just going to be your problem tomorrow or the next day . If we do not already have a community of similar goaled people with skills you are going to have to recruit , there might just be someone who has the education or skills that will quickly adapt and become a valuable group member , One way to tell is they will have bargaining skills and have a different approach to the "Table" . ...How will you respond to the initial threat? second... how will you set up your interview and selection process to help weed out the liars and loafers?
