Is anybody prepping for Nuclear War?

[turnerdye1]

I've noticed that alot of the prepper channels I follow on Youtube have been talking more and more about nuclear war the past few months. These same channels were talking about a pandemic in late 2019/early 2020 so I tend to research what they talk about a little bit.

I'm just curious if anybody else is seeing this trend and preparing for it? I've got Mira safety gas masks and filters. I was looking at getting a few more masks and a case of filters. I'd probably get a few sizes of full chemical suits, a Geiger counter, and a book on Nuclear survival.

Is anyone else concerned about this or would this be money wasted?

There really isn't any way to be "prepared" as we can only guess what the results of this would be. Going beyond basic preps involves radiation shelters and detection equipment, but then how long, if ever, before you can start over.

As Indy is on the priority hit list and we are on the west end of it there is no prepping. Just wait for the blinding flash of light and the ensuing melt down.

Just get under a desk. You'll be fine

 

[1nderbeard]

yeah...have to agree with this perspective. Just make sure you're on good terms with Jesus and get ready to meet him.

Save your money ..........Not much point in lasting maybe a couple more weeks than everyone one else , if you aren`t caught in the blast to start with .
Can`t (Don`t) even want to imagine what quality of life one would have afterwards, if you were to survive the initial impact .

There isn't any surviving a nuclear war.
The quality of life, before your agonizing death, would be dismal at best.

There is a "nuke us first" target 700 yards from my back door. If we go full shoot out, I'm not even gonna know what happened.

Being stuck in a cave with 0Biden and his lackey's... no thanks.

Where are you noting a prime target in this county ?

What is the target?

MISO 1 and 2. I wouldn't have thought it THAT important given the associated disruption from a full-scale attack, but Homeland Security apparently disagrees. I guess if you have warheads to go around...

If a few were to make it into coastal ports, and not MAD, maybe it could be considered a nuclear war.

Let's say Iran gets ahold of some and sends a few to the east coast, a few to the west coast, and the rest to Israel. In Indiana, total survivability from that. The absolute chaos from that would make everything incredibly disrupted.

Food, goods, fuel, everything. Scarcity unknown to modern the American.

Now if a China or Russia decided for whatever reason to attack, I'd just hope the builders of those devices get it wrong enough that they don't all work as intended. But here's to hoping.

Really have a bottle I'm waiting to open for a special occasion. I'd rather open it for something good, but if I am already half dead I'll still try to open it.

Same up here in NWI.

Is that the power grid management places? One in Sheridan and one?….

 

[LEaSH]

Everybody thinks they're likely the priority target or near enough one.

Same with growing up near Flint Michigan. You'd hear all the time: "We'll be ground zero pert near"

I used to think to myself as a teen: "God, I hope so"...

Iodine pills, some duck tape, and a bible. That’s all I got for nukes

One of the largest rail yards east of the Mississippi is... well I'm 2 miles farther away than Diamond Collision.
