I just said that Anguilla would not be ground zero and would have less fallout than most places. I am not under the delusion that it will be unscathed. I am an ex-mormon and have been thinking/working toward self-sufficiency for a long time. I have been in Anguilla for 20 years.NoOneImportant wrote: [...] As for Anguilla going unscathed?

If you've acquired some fire arms then you've been doing all the right things. Down load the book, the Red Cross sheet is a good start. But as you already know, if you are in fact, doing what you say you already know what we're talking about is a view of the world, a mind set. Prior to the advent of commercial refrigerators in the late 40s everyone put up supplies; and prior to the enormous urbanization of WW-II everyone had a storm/root cellar for long term food storage.I just said that Anguilla would not be ground zero and would have less fallout than most places.

The national sport here is sailboat racing.
I added solar/electric to a sailboat. http://blog.floatingislands.com
Also working on a design for living on the ocean using solar electric and really stable boat design.
Dug out a cave that might work as a fallout shelter: http://offshore.ai/vince/cave
Life... it is precious, survive, and give you'rs to others. It's not that hard, read, print then watch the videos in the cave post above.I can't think of a single reason I would want to survive a nuclear war.
There is no trivializing fallout, but the most acute fallout risk is down dramatically within a couple of weeks of the initial event. While this video is dated (https://archive.org/details/AboutFal1963), it was done in 1963 when the country was much closer to the actual radiation research on damage to living organisms, we were also nose-to-nose, and eyeball-to-eyeball with a determined Soviet - you remember them, like the one in the WH - enemy who was not above using nuclear weapons. Fallout is real, but fallout is survivable, it isn't a death sentence, consult the video https://archive.org/details/AboutFal1963.It's not as easy as saying you aren't downwind of targets so you won't have to worry about fallout. Fallout is thrown into the stratosphere and may circle the earth before it's brought down in a rainstorm. There is no predicting where it will come down, you better have a Geiger counter if it starts to rain after nukes have gone off.
For me the issue is not the radioactivity; it's the complete breakdown in law and order. I don't want to live in a Mad Max kind of world. Just watching The Road was bad enough. (However, the book was much better.)Guest wrote:It's not as easy as saying you aren't downwind of targets so you won't have to worry about fallout.

The world will be different, remake it in the light you desire... just remember Generational Dynamics. And for for certain don't let them mess it up again, remake it better than it was before, and whatever you do make the statement "... we have to do it for the children..." a capital offense, no trial, no nothing, just swing 'em from the nearest tree.
