Maybe...but she hardly sees them. She's always at work. Regarding his big mouth....Well, I do have a rep around here as being eccentric. I am also known for my self-deprecating sense of humor. So he might feel comfortable mouthing off a bit. Regardless, this guy is just a bit of an arrogant tool. The kind of guy who, in high school, was the big jock who probably trapped kids in their lockers. I know it sounds silly, but deep down, I know he wants to be me. He's always telling me how he wishes he did what I do for a living. I gave the commencement speech at his nephew's high school graduation ceremony a few years back, and he was green with envy. |

Couple of thoughts: * I might be curious as to know if there is a friendship between the two women, or your wife and them as a couple, etc. Sounds like there is some gossip circulating around the neighborhood, and I wonder if your wife (no offense) may have in some way contributed to it. * this guy has no respect for you. Did he attain some level of dominance or authority over you previously? Did he score a college girl and thinks he's hot shit now? I might be inclined to go from zero to Unpleasant real quick the next time this guy has something to say. * You now know who your enemy is (IMHO) and who the first threat would be if things ever get tight. In other words, if it ever comes down to it - shoot him first. 
ETA - your last post sheds some light on things; maybe he really is envious and is, in his own mind, depreciating your lifestyle to compensate for his own jealousy. |

No, you're supposed to use HIS name but another neighbor's address(especially if you have a neighbor who LOVES to gossip ). That'll make sure the word gets out to everybody.
""I saw them get delivered and I thought...he's preparing to invade someone! You've got your rifle, your ammunition...." Yeah, and your drums. Everybody knows how important drums are for an "invasion". No "invasion" is complete without your drums of water. 
You're obviously not dealing with a rocket scientist here.

Guys, I was outside yesterday...cleaning out my new 55 gal drums...and this guy across the street came over and asked what I was doing. With OPSEC in mind, I said, "I'm cleaning these out for my mother. She wants to have some extra water on hand." Which is a half truth...because a few of the barrels are going to her house. He made this funny face and looked at my wife. He said, "I saw them get delivered and I thought...he's preparing to invade someone! You've got your rifle, your ammunition...." As he walks away...and while my back is turned...he calls my wife's name and when she looks, he makes some funny gesture. The gesture was something like a "fight the power" sort of thing. The idea behind the gesture was, of course, that I was a nut. I never told this guy about my preps. Both our houses get deliveries almost daily and the delivery guy must have mentioned my ammo shipments and food stuffs to him. They chat every time the delivery guy goes to his house. Making fun of me in front of my wife? That's not cool. Having this jackass know about my preps....extra uncool. Tell him you bury nosey fucking neighbors in those drums. Point inside of one and tell him how much room there is in a 55 gallon drum...while laughing. He won't be back over to visit any time soon. B_S |

I didn't read all the posts (because I figure they all deal with a backhoe and lime). When I was moving my drums, I was prepared to explain that this is how we get water to deer camp. That is plausable and somewhat normal around here.

Ignor it and find something else to worry about...it will become a problem only if you make it a problem.
Make a big deal out of it and it has the potential to become a big deal. Raise shit with the delivery guys boss, and you have absolutly no prooof he even had anything to do with it, and chances are the delivery guy will tell everybody about that nut that gets all the ammo that tried to get him fired. Ratchet it up some with the neighbor and he will become even more interested in you, guy sounds like an asshole but who cares you don't have to deal with him do you?. I think you handled it well and nothing that you did made you stand out which is what you want....be stupid and tell him stuff about bodies etc. sure would have now wouldn't it?.....T. |

I don't mean to be rude, but if you were washing out barrels in public view and getting SHTF supplies delivered to your house, how can you complain that your OPSEC is broken?
What you can do is from now on have stuff shipped elsewhere, and don't do stuff in public view. Eventually he will forget or move away.. |

Lesson to be learned: have all your stuff delivered to a Mailboxes Etc type business. Neighbors don't see stuff delivered, delivery man doesn't have any reason to gossip. Even better if said deliveries are made in the next town over.

Too bad that guy's going to be going thirsty when the water stops running.
I was talking with my neighbor's wife last night and noticed that she had 35 cases of bottled water stacked up against her garage wall ... she's running a bit short! She's also got a 450 gallon water tank in the backyard, I have to get me one to keep up with the "Jones". I don't get the whole eat, drink, and be merry mindset. The simplest effort over a few years can prepare you for nearly anything yet so many people are just ignorant to the threats. |

You're reading the wrong thing.
You just scared the shit out of him. Use that in the future. Like you said, your OPSEC is gone. If you can't have your neighbors respect you, its better to have them fear you. Just don't push the fear thing too far, just enough to have them stay the hell away from you. Jerk like that I usually tell them something outrageous like "I'm cleaning that barrel to put deer guts in next hunting season and any other critter I shoot." Something like that. Trying to have OPSEC when people know you have stuff is just an invitation for when things are bad to come knocking on your door and you're to just totally forget all the crap they fed you. The favorite Bible story of preppers is Noah and Ark. The only difference is we're not God's chosen and let them know from the get go that when the great flood comes don't bother to knock on the Arks door. Tj |
