Nothing because realistically it wouldn't happen.
Even if it did I wouldn't do anything other than momentarily wonder if I could make the stores in time to add to my horde of stuff before realizing I live 50 miles from the nearest town.
>>29274484
you cheeky little cunt, use your imagination
I live close enough to a major target that I'd have, at BEST, half an hour to try to do anything. So, I'd just rub one last one out.
Okay, two last ones.

If i wasn't dead immediately I'd kill my family then myself. Why would anyone want to "survive" in some post apocalyptic hell?
>>29274529
Ok, I'm imagining either dying horribly due to blast pressure, the fireball, thermal radiation, starvation, disease, or looters. Best case scenario I'm either vaporized instantly or living self sufficiently in a part of Siberia no one cares about.
Considering my city is a major production area for the petro chem industry, I'll either get vaporized or the US would take protective measures then I'd survive and help around in soup kitchens or some shit.

Probably die, considering I live about half an hour away from a power plant.
In the off chance I didn't, I'd probably load everything up in the car that I could, head to my old job and take the dodge with the goose-neck, load up a few barrels of diesel and drive my roommate to his parents place in Lipan, TX. After that, I'm Chicago-bound. Don't care if I die on the way, I just want to make sure my brother and his fiance are okay. If I make it that far, find them or not I'll either an hero or go look for other family. Eventually, I'll just have to head back south and probably try to get to New Mexico.
I'll leave the truck on the side of the road when it breaks down or runs out of fuel if I cant find anymore...

>>29274889
Lol no way, where at?
I have a plan.
I do need more time before it happens.
After waiting the initial period for fallout, assuming I survived. Wait out the winter and shoot anyone who comes inside my barricaded home. Probably cannibalize my family in addition to going through prepping supplies.
After the winter bundle up and wear my kit and head towards the Appalachen mountains (1 hour drive, I can hike there and it's an even longer hike.) Or if not save there is a large national forest near me within 30 min walking distance.
I need more of these bad boys, and I would probably make a reverse gorttex membrane water filter for irradiated water from some of my kit.
>>29274470
Now? realistically die within the first moments of the war. I live near a plant and a major base. I'm fucked regardless of what I do.
Planning on joining the army in the next few months, so assuming it happens after that, also die.

>>29275047
The vast majority of the nation would be untouched.
>>29274470
It's unlikely that my home or other properties would be located in areas affected by the actual missiles. The grid going down and shipping stopping would effect me though. I have some stuff prepped up like food and water filters and access to livestock to butcher. Defending from roving hordes of looters would definitely be a concern. I would defend my home if possible but also have other properties to escape to.
>>29274820
8 1/4 inches of concrete reduces Gamma by 90% compared to unshielded.
I simply selected a corner of the basement to make a room in with filled 10 inch thick cinder block instead of hollow stud/sheet rock wall. Then I attached plywood to the concrete and sheet rock to the plywood (the plywood lets me hang pictures, shelves, and stuff like it's a stud wall, except the whole wall is stud, I don't have to find one). The ceiling is 10 inch thick poured concrete, with similar sheathing, and rebar for structure and to tie into the rebar sunk in the filled voids of the cinder block.
I have an electric fan to draw air through a HEPA filter, with an exposed tailshaft I can mount a crank to so I can circulate air even when the power is out; I've also wired an exterior antenna into the space so I can set up radio to listen to or perhaps unlicensed HAM.
The door is next to the wall, and does not face the walk-out, there is also a third wall making the entrance into a hallway that goes all the way to the exterior wall, meaning any radiation has to turn a minimum of 3 90 degree corners (IE ain't happening) to reach the inside.
It's not a huge space, but it's big enough for a couch, a card table, a book shelf, and I can set up up to 4 cots.
It also has my gun safe, my reloading supplies, my deep freeze, and the shelves I put my canned vegetables and other long term foods on.
I mean to get a gieger counter, but in the mean time I'm hoping that I can get radiation forecasts on the short wave. That is supposed to be a thing.

>>29275087

>>29275107
This map is based off an old FEMA publication that listed possible targets, rather than likely targets. these are two different concepts.
In addition, when the FEMA publication was made, the Soviets had a vast arsenal of strategic weapons that dwarfs the one today.
This is why this map is not very useful today.
>>29275112
What happened to the rhetoric that we had enough nukes to nuke the entire world 100 times or some shit like that?
>>29275110
The West has let this misconception go unchallenged in the media for far too long. A comprehensive civil defense plan (shelters, encouraging personal shelters, getting back to teaching duck and cover) would literally save millions of lives in a full exchange.
But apparently the idea that nuclear war is hopeless is more important than your life.
All these fags thinking they're fucked 50 miles from an airbase, they'll be fine, or they would be with just a little bit of prep.
>>29274979

Not only that, but the Grissom Reserve Base in Northern Indiana is an emergency stop for Air Force One IIRC, not to mention it being the base of a major refueling wing. It would be a far more likely target than Lafayette, that place is a shithole.

It's basically a tactic to make using nukes unthinkable to the public. If you tell people that they'll all die in a nuclear exchange, they'll choose leaders who won't use nukes. That, and nobody has really viewed a strategic exchange as probable since like, the '60s. Any use of nuclear weapons today (barring India and Pakistan frying each other) would likely be tactical and theatre-level, along the lines of blowing the Republican Guard out of their holes with a kiloton-level device in Desert Storm or something.
>>29275010
Oh, ok.
Well good then.
I suppose if I survive and there aren't fuck tons of radiation then, I would load all of my supplies, guns, ammo, and dogs into my car. If I found out about it early enough, I might try to go to the grocery store less than a mile away from me, load up a shopping cart with as much stuff as it will hold, prioritizing anything I'm low on.
Somewhere in there I would call my gf and find out where she is. She's a registered nurse, but not on bedside anymore, so I'm not sure what would happen if they declared a mass-casualty incident. I honestly don't know how I'd handle this part. I would want her to come with me, but I know she would probably have a strong sense of duty to stay and help, and I'm not sure it would be right to try and convince her to abandon that.
Then I'd drive away from DFW in a direction away from where I think radiation will be headed, avoiding major freeways, most likely west or southwest. We have lots of long stretches of backroads in Texas so I'd make pretty decent time to the middle of nowhere.
At this point, I'd try to meet up with people, and offer to share supplies in exchange for shelter, and settle down. I'm a decent hunter/marksman and know enough about electronics (radios) to be an asset, and my gf being a nurse makes her a very obvious asset to any small community trying to get by.

If there is a cuban missile crisis-type thing I would stock up on an insane amount of tinned food so i get tons of holocaust pussy.
But seriously, I would walk down to the local abandoned pharmacy and nab some choice pain meds and benzos. Then I'd do a walkabout sipping a bottle of vodka looking for the highest ledge I can find.
>>29275226
80%+ of Americans would still survive to wish they'd have prepared a little.
Potassium Iodide, knowing (or building) a functional fallout shelter, having enough food on hand to survive a few weeks supply chain disruption, all of these things are things that you would wish you had thought of earlier. Duck and Cover applied consistently and effectively would reduce casualties further, as a ton of people are going to be killed or injured by falling or flying debris.
Remember that the circle of incineration and certain death is actually quite small compared to even a medium size city.
The fallout shelter and potassium iodide would be the difference between dying in pain months to years later and living a full life in a post war America where city liberals have died in far greater proportion than the rest of us.
Does Anon really want to deny themselves this future?

Lots of buildings have natural fallout shelters as a consequence of their design.
Keep a couple weeks food and water on hand, get a month's worth of potassium iodide tablets for each family member, figure out where you can put 8+ inches of concrete between you and outside, or 18+ inches of soil or much less steel or lead, and you'll be good.
>>29274470
Realistically? I live in NorCal, hundreds of miles from any possible target. I guess I would keep going to work, unless that dried up. We have a couple of biomass power plants in Humboldt, I don't imagine the lights will even stay off for more than a week or so.
We might see some refugees from the Bay Area or Portland, and I imagine FEMA will probably have something or other going on in the area. Sub regional op center or something. I got family in Roseville, we'll probably bring them up here because Sac and the Bay Area will be a zoo.

Potassium iodide is just for preventing thyroid cancer years after the fact. Prussian blue would be another useful one to have handy, but really, if you survive the initial burst and don't get injured severely by it, you'll probably survive (not counting food shortages, infections, etc).
As for me? One of the advantages of being in buttfuck nowhere, Newfoundland. Only targets that might exist here are Goose Bay and Gander. Gander's an hour away, and Goose Bay is right the fuck off in Labrador, so neither is particularly worrying.
We could really set ourselves up as a serious regional power after a nuclear war, actually. Offshore oil and a refinery in place already at Come-By-Chance, a fairly solid self-sufficient streak (plenty of wild game, decent number of farms and people with vegetable gardens), power from the hydro dams and Holyrood generating station would likely stay consistent...

Have a pre-planned bug out location. Account for weather patterns and potential fallout plumes when you plan your route.
The other choice is: leave immediately or shelter in place for a couple of weeks.
If you shelter in place, you might get caught up in a forced relocation or a mandatory shelter in place/curfew order. FEMA probably wants to restrict random wandering around for reasons.
If you head for your BOL while the exchange is still going on, you might dodge most of the fallout. There might be roadblocks manned by jittery cops or NGs, though. If you really want to be devious, download some FEMA letterhead and print yourself out some kind of travel authorization.

Within a week FEMA will be trucking in food and water. That's the real function of FEMA camps, to concentrate the surviving urban population in places where they can be fed and sheltered. It'll be T-rats and a cot in a tent, which is better than Velveeta and crackers around a campfire in the ruins. But not by much.
The first couple of weeks will be rough. FEMA's going to be getting set up, there's going to be a lot of panic and despondency. Cops and NGs are going to be in hair trigger magdump mode.
Figure you want to be self sufficient for at least a month. You also want to have some caches, in case camp life gets really bad. If you get picked up in a mandatory evacuation, plan on losing any obvious supplies you have on hand at the time.

I too live in DFW (Plano) and would be headed to Stephenville.
I wouldn't take 75 to get out of DFW, of course, since that would take me through the blast area. I'd leave north then take a road west and basically loop around DFW. If the wind was from the east I'd go east instead. Either way, I'm heading towards Stephenville so I can go towards Brownwood and meet with my family, then we return to their house because its in the countryside and my stepfather has an FFL and owns many weapons, and the land has plenty of deer and other such things. The rest of my family lives in that immediate area too, all within a few miles. We'd pool our resources, use any equipment we needed of my grandfather's (owns a construction company), and probably hole up in my uncle's house, since he has the largest house and its made of stone, so its got the best defense if anybody shot at it.

Anon you replied to here. If you wanna give a ride to two of my friends out there (Addison, but they would meet you wherever), you'll have three more shotguns and a decent amount of birdshot. They will try to make you stop by a liquor store, but tell them you're bringing them to me and they'll drop it.

And once again, we see how the 'evil commies' somehow approached the whole nuclear standoff a lot more passively, and responsibly than America.
Am I the only one who finds this just a little bit fucked up? The amount of shit they let slide that our own war hawks never would have ignored is just astounding. And fuck the drunk general story, the one that always sticks out most in my mind is that we were doing a space launch, or something, that looked just like a ballistic missile on radar, and we decided not to tell the Russians because "fuck them", or whatever. And the only reason we didn't have WW3 happen was because some lone officer decided that America wouldn't be insane enough to try a launch, and refused to give the order to 'return fire'.

A firat strike is beyond sucidal for Russia or the US. though given the inherent animalistic irrationality of the russian I suppose anything is possible
>>29277895
Who's going to be shooting you unless you're in a large city?
Cancer takes years to develop even if you inhaled fairly large amounts of radioactive matter.particles
>>29277910
If memory serves, roving packs of bandits start blasting you the moment you enter their territory. And cancer is a prewar myth: large radiation doses just make your skin fall off, grant immortality and sometimes wreck your frontal lobe.
Dude, have you even played Fallout? You can literally punch people into chunky salsa by choosing a perk.

Holy shit, we can talk about this stuff on /k/ now?
Did we get a new mod???

I was humoring when it came to fallout.
I hate the 10x or whatever time advance and I dislike that it only takes 1 hour in-game hour to travel anywhere or heal any injury compared to the first two.
My point was that, as a society, we love to see people getting butchered and tortured in cinema, but they are repulsed when the first piece of negative reality comes into their lives.
For many Americans, as it has been stated, large scale nuclear attacks wouldn't even devastate us for one generation.

Came here to post this. Glad it's first.

You need to get caught up to this millenium. Nuclear winter has been debunked as a myth, based on bad science and emotions.
Plan for fallout from ground strikes on hard targets.

Well pretty much every direction I can go leads to another triangle so fuck me

Looks like I'll be getting a nice little light show before bunkering down

It isn't the Cold War anymore. The most likely nuclear threat we have is Kim Jong Lulz and even then, that isn't much of a threat.

>Make an awful attemp to live out my fallout fantasies and probably get myself killed after a week of roving around aimlessly with my mosin and a fannypack full of cliff bars and star wars bandaids
>>29275220
Head west to Tucson. There's no way anyone would waste a nuke on that shit hole(even if they should)
>>29275237
You're retarded if you think Ohio isn't sitting high on Russia's nuke list.
>>29275107
Both those cities were home to bases since closed. All enlisted paperwork and such used to go through Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indy, for instance. The only major facility still here is NSWC Crane in southwest Indiana, most everything else is gone.
>St Paul
probably dead if anyone gives enough of a shit to nuke us
Since im unifag i cant have any guns on me so yeah, probably boned
>>29274659
my entire county is in a triangle
fucking kidding me
>>29274470
prolly get vaporized in the first 30min of the war.
>>29274470
Hope I'm indoors. Then head northwest.
I live in central MD. so there's 5 likely targets all around me.
I'm pretty much fucked.
>>29274659
>I live in a 500 warhead target zone
Guess I'd probably die.

this doesnt cover for the fact that the soviets and the americans tried to literally ignite our atmosphere - the nuclear winter they envisioned
>>29274484
This. Living in central Manchester would ensure I died quickly.
>>29274659
As long as the charelston and Huntington nukes don't overlap I should be fine, and I don't think much of WV is a target anyway.

As I live next to a naval Reserva air station, I think dieing is fairly certain

wew lads, I actually didn't realize how small their arsenal is. I can sleep better now.
>>29277623
you realize the 2000 warhead strike includes the first 500 as targets, right?
>>29279370
oh
Didn't think of it
>>29274659
I can tell you without even looking at that map that living about 25 miles out from Charlotte means I'm dead.

I'll just stand out on my porch and get it over with.

I don't need a silly little map to tell me I'm fucked.

I'm about two miles from PHX airport, in the kill zone.

also a Federal Reserve branch bank, and the 6th federal court, also sundry financial institutions and telephone exchanges.

None of those are really nuclear targets.

Gamma radiation is not even a fucking big concern in nuclear fallout, most of it is alpha and beta emitters and you can quite literally turn a normal house equipped with a decent HVAC system into a fallout shelter with some plastic and duct tape. Nearly every single particle that emits gamma radiation is heavy or short lived and usually both.
If you want a gieger counter build one yourself, you can get a kit for like $130 bucks and tubes themselves are as low as $30 dollars. (prices might have changed, but this was the going rate in 2003) Since you seem to have an irrational fear of gamma radiation I suggest getting a windowless tube (these cost a lot more) since they're pretty much purpose built to catch gamma rays.
