Is there any point to prepping for a nuclear situation? There's a document online that goes into the kind of shelter you need, how long to stay there, and stuff like that. I'm talking to my parents about this stuff - and they are older - and is it even worth discussing given how upsetting it is? Like I was even talking about a rendevouz point in case we get separated and there's no communication. We don't live in the same house, but we are in the same city.
I know people say, you will be one of the lucky ones if you go quick. But the human will to live can be very strong, just instinctually, like we don't even know how we will act.

if you are able to and it won't impede your daily life to start prepping, do so. Everyone is talking about the suffering, but all life is suffering of one form or another. The point of life is to rise to the struggle and overcome it. I know I personally will keep fighting to live until my body gives out, and no matter the pain I will keep seeking out not only life but my goals in it. Should the nuke go off tomorrow, I will keep studying my dead languages, saying my prayers, and caring for my loved ones. Don't ever think giving up on life is the correct call. Not just in a case of apocalypse, but in general. Life is always worth living, no matter the pain and suffering it entails.
