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.

    Yeah ngl doing basic nuclear prep with needed supplies like water and food as well as any meds you may need will also help with other forms of prep as well (power outages, nightmare weather patterns and storms, domestic disturbances).

      Don't bother. It won't last nearly long enough and you will also die but it will take longer.

        well, with nukes, not dying from the first couple days of extreme radiation would probably be the most important thing

        technically we all die but it takes longer lol

        Yeeeaaaahhh I was just talking about how basic prep helps in a lot of diff disasters that will likely become more and more common. Full nuclear exchange with no hope of infrastructure being rebuilt? Nah fuck that, but the panic from a limited exchange would def see me thankful for having several weeks of food saved up when shit goes crazy.
