There was a virus and i couldn't find toilet paper. You think you'd be able to find any basics after a nuke goes off?

Hope ya have a farm. GL trying to get through an airport, GL trying to drive anywhere.

We thought we were standing on the shoulders of giants, turns out we where standing on cards.

Merely live in spitting distance of some strategic targets, then you don't have to worry about suffering for long. Thanks to Naval Base Kitsap, I don't think I'll have to worry about the basics if a nuclear war breaks out.

Yup, something like 1/3rd the entire US arsenal is there. Also, it’s kinda wild/fun to look at the vastness of the bunkers they have by the submarine pens; there are multiple rail lines going North/south that all link up to the pens.

And when you're not struck...?

Seems like such a goofy attitude/plan, so many failure modes.

[drooogs]

I think it's more dark humor / coping with death than a plan. if that were someone's serious plan, they would probably consider killing themselves if the bomb didn't do it for them.

[robonerd]

Correct. Even if I survived the immediate blast effects, I think I would be in for a painful and unavoidable death from nuclear poisoning. I don't have a fallout shelter. The best I could do is close all my windows, but those would be shattered I'm sure. And seeing as I live in a 5-over-1, I think my building wouldn't survive anyway. The [normally reasonable] fire safety of these primarily-wood buildings depends on a functioning sprinkler system, which assumes municipal water still works. That won't be the case in a nuclear war.

The only realistic plan for this scenario is to leave before the war even starts.

[robonerd]

GMD only has 44 interceptors. I'm pretty sure I'd be hit.

>goofy attitude

Just a little gallows humor. As for planning, I have enough canned food and bottled water in my closet to last about a week. But that's more a plan for lockdowns/etc than for a nuclear war. As long as I live here, I earnestly don't think there is much sense in planning for that.

nuclear holocaust is what happens while you're making other plans.
