      People think I'm nuts for worrying about nuclear war

      You are sending me some really mixed signals here. You tell me that it's not worth making a plan of action for a nuclear situation, yet throw out a belittling insult to say that other people (presumably referring to yourself) are prepping harder than me. And then you claim this not to be...

      People think I'm nuts for worrying about nuclear war

      I wasn't singling out any specific comment you made, but merely rebutting the sentiment that I'm ridiculous for thinking about what I would do if a mushroom cloud was being blown in my direction. I don't know why people, especially ones who own a gun just in case something happens, ridicule me...

      People think I'm nuts for worrying about nuclear war

      I disagree. I think it can be survivable, so long as it does not go beyond a certain level of escalation. I want to be prepared for a war-related disaster to occur, but realize there are limitations. I think there could be a deployment of nuclear weapons, followed by an immediate diplomatic...

      Yes. Our country is currently being run by a group of morons who are continually escalating a conflict that is not a strategic interest of the United States. They have done absolutely nothing to diplomatically deescalate the situation, which Putin is fighting so vigorously for because in his...

      People think I'm nuts for worrying about nuclear war

      Thanks for saying this. It is ironic that people who carry a gun just in case they need it are the ones saying that it's worthless to plan for a nuclear attack because you can't do anything about it. The same arguments are often made by anti-gun folks - i.e. "the bad guy probably has a gun too...

      Thank you. Those are excellent resources. I did find the Nuclear War Survival Skills book independently and it has some very good information. The science I learned from those resources prompted me to think differently about what to do if that were to occur. People think I'm silly for worrying...

      Yeah, and do you know what's in Alaska? The US GMD (Ground-Based Midcourse Defense), the US interception system for ICBMs. Coincidence?

      Get out of dodge has actually has been my Plan A for a long time now. I live on the very south edge of Indianapolis so getting distance from the city within 15 minutes is a feasible. However, I've done some additional research to reevaluate this plan. When the nuke initially goes off, there will...

      People think I'm nuts for worrying about nuclear war

      These are the kinds of responses that are upsetting to me. Perhaps "worrying" is the wrong word to use. I'm preparing, and this is a disaster preparedness discussion section so what's constructive about comments like this? All I'm trying to figure out is what's a reasonable plan to find a...

      Currency - I agree. There are many disasters to prepare for and have plans for most of them, this post is specifically about the nuclear threat. I have iodine. Question: Is there any difference between the IOSAT 14-pill packs and a generic bottle of iodine pills or liquid iodine? Water - the...

      People think I'm nuts for worrying about nuclear war

      Agreed with all you said! I am formulating plans for a lot of what you mention. 2 radiation dosimeters to monitors levels. While I don't have the resources to have a perfect bunker situation, all I want is a first step is to know which basement or concrete building I can go into with my kid and...

      Not sure I would trust a shelter run by the local government. Look what happened to the people who sought shelter from the government during Hurricane Katrina. They are not allowed to leave (enforced with guns) from that crime-ridden literal ********.

      People think I'm nuts for worrying about nuclear war

      When I watch the news events in Ukraine - Putin's threats and Biden's incompetence - I have concern that the United States could have a nuclear weapons exchange with Russia. It probably won't escalate to a full scale war at first. Likely, the first of such weapons used would be low yield...

      Coronavirus

      What a great idea. Let's prepare for the highly contagious disease by going to the store where hundreds of other people are waiting to pack into the building with you, breathing and touching all the same food and merchandise. :laugh:

      Coronavirus

      I could tell that you're joking so this comment isn't directed at you, but... I noticed that people who haven't been affected by whatever doom is out there and have the privilege to be safe like to criticize how stupid something like this seems to them. It hasn't reached you yet thanks the to...
