(6,412 posts)That, or have "The Day After" or "Threads" remade. I've run into too many who think it wouldn't be such a big deal and could survive it. That cavalier attitude could get us all killed. In the 80's it was 30-45 minutes before the nukes hit (excluding subs parked off the coast), now its 15-30. Not even enough time to kiss you significant other and down some booze.
If I saw the warning signs and could connect the dots of a possible nuclear war;
Option 1. Buy a hunting rifle with plenty of ammunition, lots of canned and dry goods, medical supplies, etc. Then head to our place in the mountains which has a well. Live out life from there.
Option 2. If I can really read the tea leaves accurately, cash out my investments, convert them to gems and silver and head to the other side of the equator.
There are no winners in a nuclear holocaust.
