Is anybody prepping for Nuclear War?

My wife and I are planning on building a house in the next 3-5 years with a full basement and I have her on board for a fully concreted room. Mainly to use as a gun room but secondarily as a bomb/storm shelter.

One family in our MSG has done that in their house, complete with an exterior hidden exit. And that's as much as OPSEC will permit me to say.

I'll probably have to work more on the wife with getting an exterior exit but we'll see lol. But she's pretty open minded and is on the same wavelength as me.

I heard in that Nuclear Surivival Skills book they have some ideas to consider when building a house and I'm hoping to learn something in there about the design of a strong and secure structure. One thing I'm worried about is air filtration also.

I noticed that almost every map shows the newport chemical depot as a target in vermilion county. The military removed the vx stored there more than a decade ago and the property is now a commercial business complex.

You'll need to get one of these Landmasters.

I'm kinda hoping I don't survive the blast. I do t want to deal with the fallout.

Always knew Fort Wayne would be on the short list. Several Raytheon buildings plus the Air Guard base. The property at my dealership touches the east side of the Air Guard base so at least I know I will be getting a front row seat.

I literally don’t even care anymore. We all die if something. Let’s just get it over with.

I wonder if a nuclear attack would be the full monte, or if it'd be the ubiquitous suitcase. Same hazards, different scale. I can't imagine China going full monte on us. Hell, they can just buy our .gov. We've already stared down the Ruskies once. Then there's all the tertiary countries who probably lack the full monte ability. But they could be overflowing with suitcases.

Based on this map, it looks like Central Indiana will be dust in a 500 warhead scenario. Have to agree with the majority on this thread. Notice of launch given, whip out the lawn chair, slide on the Maui Jim's, pour four fingers of Blanton's and wait for the bright light before the blackness

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

M.A.D. pretty much cooks our goose. Pray it never happens.

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?

Not me, My prep will consist of case of beer and bottle of expensive bourbon! Sitting on the lazyboy waiting for the flash & heat! I'll take it like a champ!...lol

We would be absolute toast in a nuclear war.
Do you seriously think FJB can remember any launch codes?

This is interesting

It's off to northern Maine for me!

Yes since they changed them to 1,2,3 he is good to go.
Plus they tattooed 1,2,3 on his fingers.
We have nothing to worry about!

They wouldn't trust him with them anyway.

M.A.D. sounds silly.
Till you think about it, and it worked for how many decades?

Most wars are not initiated because of "strength".
The are started because of "weakness". Either real or perceived.

"We'll be back by Christmas", is a common cry.
