Depends on how much time I have.

There is a bombshelter in every house where I live, so given around 2 minutes of warning I would probably get ther and have time to close the door.

That would prevent me from getting BTFO by the blast/heat (unless it detonated very close to me, wich is unlikely since i dont live in the central areas.

My gasmask (altho only an old GP-5M) hangs by my bed so Ill try to grab that one with me if the filters in the facility is in bad shape/I dont have time to close the peacetime ventilation.

If you survive the blast and can manage to not inhale to much radioactive material you have done really well.

Then I guess Ill stay in the shelter for as long as possible (a day or perhaps a few in the best case)

If it hits the city, i am done. If it hits the military airport, i am within 2nd degree burn range.

I live in NorCal, the nearest large city is 300 miles away. I wouldn't even know it happened until somebody posted a thread about it.

>>32104116

Whereabouts in norcal?

Redding could be a target.

>Closest city goes up in smoke
Wow a whooping 22-23K dead people, radiation blowing north and east, and I'll sit here and laugh at the people who are stupid enough to live in a city so close to a military airport of so little significance that only the immense faggotry of the people living there could have provoked a nuclear reaction.

I live like 30 miles outside of Chicago, so maybe I'd probably survive the initial blast if I'm not at school or work, but fallout would probably get the surrounding burbs.

I have some provisions like food and water, but no radiation gear and I held off on getting a gun since Trump won and I'm a poorfag.

I live in London.
Assuming an airburst slap bang on the heart of the city, I'd be just about OK in the suburban bit, by which I mean no 3rd degree burns, but the amount of smoke from everything in London burning would fuck me up. I'm relatively safe from radiation, but I'd be fucked in terms of survival - pretty minimal gear and no car, so I'd be hiking up the M1 towards the distribution centres in the south midlands to try and link up with some transport and food before heading home to rural Leicestershire, which would probably be relatively OK assuming no nukes on Birmingham.

My city would likely be hit with a wave of radiation. No doubt that the population would panic as food became scarce a few days in.

I would run off to the national forest and set up a small comfy homestead and farm boar, rabbits, common garden produce and set up a wheat field. I could produce ammunition to trade.

Finland here.

I live in a small eastern Finland city. 40k or so people. Surrounded by sparsely populated countryside/woodlands.

My apartment is at the sixth floor (highest floor) of this building. So that might be a problem. I would be inside the thermal radiation radius, but outside air blast radius (5 PSI).

The good part is that sturdy Finnish construction code (and the fact that people here actually build according to it) means that I have heavy concrete walls around me, and all the windows give away from city center - that is, where the bomb would be detonated. So first flash damage would be... probably survivable.

If I survive the first blast, things get easier.

The building has dedicated underground civil defense shelter with air purification equipment. Also, the whole finnish infrastructure (water, electricity etc. ) here is build to support SHTF-situations.

I also have about 3 weeks worth of food (mostly in airtight packaging/tincans/preservatices etc) in my kitchen.

so I think... if I'd survive the first blast, I'd be relatively fine. I even have iodine pills in my bathroom medicine cabinet.

So... maybe I'd get lucky? Even if 500kt nuke would blow up within 4-5 km.

Immediate plans: chill out in the shelter until worst of radiation cools off.
Long stretch: get away from the city before the fallout comes down, go to my gramma's place (70 km away) or to my summer cottage (100 km away) - both places good for farming.

By the time worst of radiation is gone, the whole civil defense network would be in full swing (unlike yankees who have single government facility FEMA, all that jazz is built into the local civil administration and is regularely drilled) and there would be military reserve troops mobilizing for clearing streets/fallout, red cross services setting up clinics etc. and they would be looking for volunteers and workers who can help the folks.

Man, it feels good to live in an actually working country.

>>32104449
Know that feel.

We used to work, but that kind of stopped after the cold war. Most of the infrastructure and shelters are still there tho as they were built in before the cold war ended.

>>32104449
Unless you have some specific target in the city, isnt the nuke more likely to be targeted at the airport?

File: Finnish dreams.jpg (39KB, 340x500px) Image search: [Google]

39KB, 340x500px

>>32104591
Yes and no.

Yes as in "it is the most obvious military target in this area. Also it has a military base next to it."

No as in "see that landbridge from Puntarikoski to Onttola? That is THE ONLY WAY to move troops from eastern finland to western parts, if you don't want to make hundreds of klicks of de-tour." so nuking this area would be kinda like area-denial -attack. It's a bottle-neck and the city is smack down in the middle of it.

Also, Finnish Air Force has thousands upon thousands of miles of roads which are perfectly good airports as they are (many of them are even designed to work as such, should SHTF) so nuking an airport isn't really effective in that sense.

That's the thing about Finnish Military Doctrine: EVERYTHING is decentralized. Doesn't matter where you hit (military, government, infrastructure, logistics, public works), there is always some backup system ready to take over. The whole country is build from the ground up like that.

>>32104215

That's so retarded

>>32104247
Seconded. Can we just do that ourselves?

Even our most basic infantry soldiers are trained in guerilla warfare.

Most of the army can be changed to "hide in the wilderness and do hit-and-run attacks" with just a word. They already have all the equipment and all the logistics (like private transportation companies - equivalent to UPS) are already part of it.

It is not uncommon for a parcel service to get a mission "take this food ration shipment from military base, drive it into the middle of the wilderness, and drop it off to dead-end forest road and coordinates X1-Y7. Don't worry, there will be people there to receive it."

And that will be enough food for a company for a week.

Well I live about 35 miles outside of Chicago, so I'd probably survive the initial blast but have to worry about fallout. If I heard about it really quickly, which I bet I would, I'd probably have a chance once I started to head south ASAP. I don't have a BOB ready to go, though.

Oh. Guess I over-estimated that size of warhead. Radiation would count on wind direction that day, so I can't say really.

I would have a decent chance of surviving a blastwave anyway since my family's house is an old stone one built into a hill, so as long as it didn't collapse I'd have a good chance of doing alright for a little while.

>>32105131
I'm from Eureka. I probably know you or at least your family

>>32103757
My house is just outside the 5psi overpressure zone. So assuming I'm at home, my house would probably collapse and I'd die. If I was at work I'd be in the fireball and die immediately.

>>32104945
Yes. Extreme north of Sweden.

>>32104224
Detroit would be targeted with multiple warheads to ensure the destruction both of the 4 million area residents and the automobile manufacturing facilities.

If they get to use nukes, then helk yes. But nuking NATO members is a great way to make sure you cease to exist as a nation.

No real reason to hit them over other more important targets.

if i had a few days warning i'd build an improvised fallout shelter with the neighbors

if you are at all interested in the subject read this and buy a physical copy.
http://www.oism.org/nwss/

if all the warning i had was a blinding flash i'd park my elevator on the ground floor and hide inside. if i survived the initial overpressure i'd start moving boxes around the shaft to absorb radiation.

i'd pop a few potassium iodine pills, clean my guns and wait to kill whoever nuked us

>>32105569
>If I had a few days warning Id inform NORAD and get the fuck out of there.

Why build a shelter when you can just leave?

I don't think I would survive guys.

>>32105591
the warnings i was thinking of would be pretty obvious, an escalation of hostilities then that hostile nation evacuating it's cities.

if it's a mass attack i'd still need to build a shelter wherever i went, i wouldn't know the area and would have a harder time convincing strangers to help me dig a hole to save us all. i'd also have to pack, i wouldn't be able to get very far if everyone else was also evacuating, i wouldn't be able to bring as many supplies, and i might get caught out in transit.

if it was just one bomb then yeah hurricane evacuation procedure would get the vast majority of people out, but most scenarios i'm bugging in.

Obligatory:

I live about 1km away from an underground shelter rated for ~40psi blast overpressure, I think I'm gonna make it

>>32105768
>if it's a mass attack i'd still need to build a shelter wherever i went

Not true. 40 km in any forrest should do fine. Or just go to another country if possible.

Nobody has enough nukes these days to waste them on anything else than military targets anyway.

>>32105890
i'd still be concerned about fallout, the radiation would be worse in the forest.

>>32106162
If its a strike on a city, fallout wont be an issue.

>>32103757

I'd go to the basement and get a few tubes of caulk and seal all the doors and windows.

Then I'd cook all the shit in my fridge, put whatever I dont eat in the freezer. If the meat in the freezer thawed before I could eat it all, I'd toss it in the dehydrator.
Then I'd start packing a bag to gtfo. Id stash guns/ammo/meds that I cant carry.

Id hang out until all my food was gone (a few weeks), then leave.

Air burst or ground detonation?

This determines if Im "fine" or potentially get turbofucked by the worst of the fallout if the wind is going in the wrong direction

Pic is area related if its a grounds strike I get turbofucked by fallout by the current wind direction

if its an air-burst I survive

>>32106292
single airburst sure, but if landing strips are targets or hardened structures or any warhead malfunctions occurred fallout would be an issue.

>>32107011
okay, exactly what happens in your imaginary scenario?

>>32107026
Almost all warheads will be aimed at nuclear weapons, command and control for nuclear weapons, or storage of nuclear weapons.

What happens in your imaginary scenario?

>>32107088
command bunkers and missile silos are ground burst targets.

>>32107174
And?
What does that have to do with urban targets, which is what I said.

I'll repeat it.
>If its a strike on a city, fallout wont be an issue
Got it?

>>32107191
are you the guy that doesn't believe in gamma radiation?

if there are hundreds of ground detonating nuclear weapons in the country there are pretty good odds of you dying of radiation poisoning even if you don't have to worry about the rads from your nearest urban center's destruction.

The nuclear winter study (and subsequent studies on the subject) destroyed any faith I had in climate scientists.

They only model nuclear war happening at a specific time of year when soot is even capable of getting to the stratosphere. They massively overstate the combustible materials in cities, and assume 100% of cities will burn like Hiroshima (which was made of paper and coal ovens), they assume all combustible material will completely burn up.(instead of be charred and failing to ignite at all). This doesn't even get into their infantile grasp of nuclear war strategy. They basically created their study with no regard for how shit would actually go down.

Later studies chastise Carl Sagan's original study, and then go on to make most of the same goddamn mistakes. Scientists were talking out of their ass, leaning on their credentials and confidence to push an agenda, and now I can't unsee it.

Wading through the bullshit, from what I can gather, a massive countervalue strike has a slight chance of causing minuscule cooling (a degree or two) for no longer than a couple weeks. Climate Scientists' special snowflake widespread stratospheric soot injection causing years of 10-20 degrees of cooling is so wildly unlikely as to not be a realistic concern.
