I was a Nuclear qualified welder in a Naval shipyard and you correct about the Time, Distance, and Shielding. I would also want to cover the types of radiation(such as alpha, beta, gama, and neutron) and their penetration through flesh. I recieved a little less than one rem in my time as a Nuclear worker and it takes about 25 - 50 rem to kill most people.
I'm in a 3rd floor apartment so I'll go out on my balcony to view & pray! No place to run to in Wyoming. I'm prepared to go home. I want all leaders of each country to meet to put an end to this distinction of mankind for peace...
I read online about Japanese survivors of nukes (those were tiny bombs). One guy in the class action was a child, walked home from school in the black rain a short time after the blast. My guess is being far from targets is best defense.
A great series. This is without a doubt the most knowledgeable presentation I've ever seen on this subject. I always walk away from your presentations a bit smarter than I had been. Evaluating my home my chances don't look good. My home is a one story wood framed structure with no basement. I'm 75 miles from Philadelphia and 97 miles from NYC. That distance is pretty good and I'm NW of them so fallout shouldn't come in this direction from those cities, but there is always the chance of attacks to our west that would put us in it's path. In an all out nuclear exchange I don't think many will stand a chance of avoiding the radiation unless we have a properly shielded basement or fallout shelter.
If you are outside the central blast and fire rings, your biggest immediate problem is the shock wave causing flying glass and debris. Duck and Cover will help with that. Of course, if you’re near ground zero then you get vaporized and/or toasted.
I took a radiation emergency response certification, in another century, they did teach us to essentially use lava soap and a brillo pad and all but scrub your skin off. As Mingo54 mentions we also need to know what type/spectrum of radiation we're being exposed to. Also, you might want to mention the difference between whole body exposure verses a chest x-ray, and more about the half-life and how radiation dissipates in the air and ground. I appreciate the updated information.
I have a cheap Geiger counter to help determine distance. Tri-level house. I assume the basement or upper floor depending on where fallout gathers. Like roof may collect it, but rain may drain it off. So to start might be safer in the basement but if it rains could be the top floor. No matter what, at least the lowest level on the counter will tell me where to go. And when washing blow your nose. You can also get dosage badges for each person. You will get a dose so best to have an idea of how much. God forbid you have to exit the shelter, that is why decon and a good mask. In the military, we ALWAYS died in training. In reality that might be the case on a military base but you may survive as a civilian if you try.
I have a historical home with a very deep, concrete basement, below grown. It's 1700 sq feet. We are working on cleaning it up and having it prepared. One room is already my prep storage room. I was wondering how safe it would be. Thank you for this valuable information 🙏 👍
If the blast knocks the windows out the wind will be super fast in the middle of the house so if ure on the blast zone get up against the front wall facing the blast initially so you won't get blown away
I carry a shovel in the back of my car, a tarp, emergency food, water, torch, medicine. (Potassium iodide) Because of the wide distant country roads. My plan will be to dig a ditch big enough to huddle inside cover with a board, tarp, & dirt push my car over it & crawl underneath. Then lie flat with my head at the lowest point. (Fetal position) Having some empty sacks to fill with dirt would be ideal to gain that extra 20cm. Of course ideally I'd find a building even an old barn would do if it has a dirt floor? Knowing your environment & planning for that would go a long way. Obviously youd get some exposure but you could mitigate as much as humanly possible to gain prescious months, or even extend your chances by years in this worst case scenario. Dont get me wrong I understand how hard it is to dig a human size hole in a short period of time & choosing a high point in case of RAIN would be a consideration otherwise youve just dug your own grave. 😂
What source are citing for your shielding thicknesses? Your thicknesses are at least double or triple of the shielding charts I've seen to reduce radiation to the USG standard of 1/1000th.
thank you for sharing this information 🙏thank you for teaching us to do in case of emergency. I have a question do you think the radiation can effect us here in the Philippines Philippines ?
Thank you for this important information . Many have not a clue about fallout . We appreciate all your knowledge . May the good Lord watch over you and your family . Peace and Love 😊
I've looked at a U.S. map, which shows the worst and best locations to be, in case they start falling. Unless they drop one in Grayling, you in Clare and myself in Iosco County, Michigan, are in a good location. My sister-in-law has a full basement at her place in Rose City.
If you have a completely submerged basement with a wooden 2 story wooden house above, aren’t you still getting radiation from above? What is the solution in that case?
Cut off the head... So capital cities would be targeted on a 1st strike I feel. Along with the nuclear weapon areas. Most populated areas outside of that should be ok. That's of course it's not total annihilation 😳😳😶
Thank John and GeeDee. So, Washington for sure, NY, Chicago...now I'm wondering how far of distance? Like 30-50mile Radius? Or more? I guess it would depend on the strength of the nuke? Could go 100mile radius or more? Idk..
This series has been great. I would like to get 1 clarification if possible. You state that it takes 6 feet of concrete to stop all radiation. I have read multiple sources that state that 2 feet of concrete or 3 feet of packed earth will reduce the radiation by 1/1000 (yes this is not stopping the radiation but reducing the dose received). The initial strength of the radiation will affect what the 1/1000 value actually is. Does it make sense then to try and build up a protected area with at least this much shielding between yourself and the source?
Me and my friends watch you from Dallas often you can find me taking notes. As I said we live in Texas we do not have basements. I watch different preppers they all have basements plans but there are millions of people living in upper floor apartments often there’s no building on the lower level to retreat to and the people who live on the lower level aren’t a safe option. Please we could use advice
I've noticed businesses who make concrete septic tanks also make concrete storm shelters. Where I live, they sell those concrete storm shelters for about $1,500.00. If you had a place to put a concrete storm shelter, place a thick wall and thick roof of cement around it, then stay inside of it as much as you can for at least 14 days. A solid cement block measurers 15 inches and 5/8 inches in length, 7 inches and 7/8 inches in width and 3 inches and 5/8 inches in thickness. They don't cost much at a lumber yard. What you want is a shelter with at least 24 inches of solid concrete in the walls and the roof.
Now my question is when a nuclear bomb hits how much time do you have for it to travel. Well I know its tricky depending how close it hit too. Wow this is just stressful
Do not eat them, but you can plant corn and sunflowers which after 1 to 3 years would remove the tainted soil from the radiation, so that you could plant a normal garden after hopefully.
If you can plant sunflowers and corn, they will remove the fallout from the soil, it may take between 1-3 years until you can have a normal garden. It may depend on how bad the fallout in your area is and or how much sunflower or corn you plant. Also do not eat the corn or sunflowers as these plants will draw the fallout into it self.
Thanks for the video. I understand that you need 12 feet of soil shielding. Where I get confused is shielding of Aplha/Beta/Gamma radiation. I heard that some is much easier to block than others. Can you elaborate the shielding in regards to the radiation types?
I can answer that one. For practical purposes, you can ignore alpha and beta particles. Alpha particles won’t make it an inch in air. They won’t penetrate a piece of paper. Beta particles have a little more punch and can travel several yards in air. High energy betas may penetrate a half inch of skin. Lower energy betas won’t even get through your clothes. (Source: CDC) The danger is if they get into your body. You don’t want to inhale them into your respiratory system where they are in direct contact with your tissues. Similarly, you don’t want them in your GI tract. Beta emitting particles may give you a localized skin burn if they are directly on your skin for a period of time. Gamma rays are the real problem.
@Jason Hodges - I believe that is correct. The shielding (multiple feet of material etc.) is for the gamma radiation from the initial blast. The fallout will have the alpha and beta particles. As mentioned you can block that with very little shielding.
@LastChance ShinyThings yeah I thought 12 feet was high, but he said it at 11:06 "12 feet of dirt". I am not sure if he was talking about blast area, or fallout area. Thanks, for the feedback!
@Jason Hodges Thank you for your response. So mentioned below, a bulk of gamma is released during the initial blast, but is still present in the fallout? Is this (gamma) what requires the most shielding even after the blast? I appreciate your initial reply. This is confusing to me, because I also need to factor in half life of the radiation. I am looking to bury a reinforced shipping container with a barn built over. So I am trying to figure out if my plans will be sufficient. We are not near a potential target, so I am mainly concerned with fallout.
Question should I remove a cars computer beforehand and protect it like having backup inverters we talked about on the live show ? Just had it fixed Chevy That took a minute btw the longest car repair ever So I want to protect it and I’m driving the old jeep less likely to be seen as a target 408k miles thirty plus years old
Also, you need 18 inches of soil covering any exposed, external concrete to the basement. Try to mound up as much as you can on the outer walls of the house. It will help a bit.
I've heard, for that situation, if you don't immediately die- go to the center of the house. And make that grown up fort, not a canned fort, but rather research it, something is better than nothing. Learn how to do it, then do what you can. (Not can, lol. What you are able to. Lol)
That interior hall or closet. Everything you can put between you and the radiation. Sides and above. Close all windows, curtains, turn off or close all vents. Pray for some rain to wash the roof off if not flat. If you are in a forever home then maybe build a shelter or a place that has shielding
great videos..very educational ...petty about the one about...emp...too long...nothing against your lovely family...but could you do a short one with a good explanation of emp and its effects ..this kind of video only works if is short and concise..
Mylar double layers can give you 100 percent protection. From Emf radiation. There is emf coating that you can apply to ceiling and walls and floor. It will give you 100 percent protection if you do a double coating.
Same here who these days can afford a home with a centre space? I’ve got two rooms and tiny Hallway with front door on communal landing with glass stairwell. There is no way to go or place to hid. Only bunkers in UK are for GOV staff. Rather stay in my bed last few days than sleep On the floor 3 metres away and die anyway!
Would medical X-ray shielding cloaks help at all? Where would one even get lead light enough to carry that would help? Prob no one could afford it anyway. Pls give us some constructive help advice that’s more possible for us elderly financially restricted non builders could do please
I can’t find practical information about how much the radiation dose decreases with distance. I know about the inverse square law. (Twice the distance! One quarter the dose. 5 times the distance, one twenty fifth the dose, etc) But that doesn’t help with practical situations. Example: if I am in the center of my basement, the closest external surface would be my back patio which is 25 ft away. How much radiation do I get if the outside dose is 100 R/hr?
Remember that Schwartzenegger where he survived the nuclear test blast by hiding in a lead lined refrigerator ? Somebody help me out with the title here... 🤔
By far the best way to prep is to start by studying the photos of Marie Curie, to see that the entire story of her is fiction. Then that those behind the fiction used revelation of method in her name which encodes Mercury. The trickster, the deceiver, and the god of commerce. From there, go learn that there's no such thing. So in the end, the best way to prep is to learn that there are those behind the Oz curtain deceiving you about everything.
Great, earthen basements are best for shielding, which puts most Texans at a disadvantage. And, lets say you have a basement and a months supply of food and water, then what? Nuclear preparedness, talk about a false sense of security. While this topic may be good clickbait, I would suggest focusing on more survivable scenarios.
I think your off on shielding. 3ft of earth has been mentioned by atlast survival shelters. More the better but 12 ft sounds like a bit much. Good video tho
I would build a small 4' by 8' cement shelter next to a window. 15" by 7" by 3" solid cement blocks don't cost much at a lumber yard. Slope the roof away from your cabin to shed rain or snow. Make the walls 24 inches thick. Use 2 ladders to access the inside during the construction. Use 4" by 6" posts to support a 3/4 " thick plywood base to hold the 24" thick cement roof. Before the last layer of cement is on the sloped roof add a layer of thick ice guard , overlapped, to provide a leak-proof roof. If the worst happens, open the window, climb inside and stay there at least 14 days.
A lot of us here in Las Vegas are screwed. A quick option would be to immediately go to an underground parking facility here in various Las Vegas casinos. I’d make sure I also have ample food and water for a month before I leave the area after fallout.
@@Slimchip , Good point. but then I’d have to deal with the meth-heads & the homeless population that live there. At least I have a plenty of weapons & ammo to protect myself. Lol
They scrubbed Harrison ford on Indiana Jones and the crystal skulls with a long brush when he was at that nuke test site and jumped in a lead lined refrigerator lmfao 😂😢😅😢😅 it blow him out of the texting zone.
well, one can only do what one can do . . . do the best one can with what ya have. we all can`t afford an underground bunker. I`m sorry to say. more will survive than one may think. just prepare.
So What it sounds like your saying is that being inside a House that doesn't have at least 3 feet of concrete surrounding the house all sides top and Bottom. Your pretty much F8(&#d and id guess that pretty much Know one has that kind of protection.
City water will run till the towers empty Well water depends on electricity for the pump If you're even a tiny bit serious about prepping you should have a working rain barrel minimum, and then you'd have water stored up
Very good recap. Here is the problem though. Over a 100 million of us live in the suburbs without basements. If we are lucky enough to be at home if the shtf and were in a double or single story home it seems there is not much that will help. Yes go to the center of the house with as much distance as possible from the ceiling and side walls. But this is virtually no shielding. And not that much distance. If we were fairly sure this was going to happen and we knew weeks or months before we could build a bunker in our small back yard. Thats if you have the means say an extra 50k 0r so. The vast majority don't. So I think the truth is you have to hope and pray first that your not closer than 20 or so miles away from the blast and the fallout plum rides away from your home so that the fallout is very small . Then again I don't know if a very small amount would be just as bad as being down wind of the center of the plum. Most small and medium sized towns do not have community shelters. Goshen Prepping keep up the good work. You mean well and we will all do our best if and when.

Everytime I hear anything about the fallout and stuff like that, it's always different.
In the 1950s I was in school and we had drills were we had to hide under our desk like that was going to protect us. Thanks for this video great job
If you are outside the central blast and fire rings, your biggest immediate problem is the shock wave causing flying glass and debris. Duck and Cover will help with that. Of course, if you’re near ground zero then you get vaporized and/or toasted.
Indeed. At 72, I no longer have access to my school desk. Ergo, I don’t stand a chance.
I'm with the last person..small house, no basement = screwed. Thanks!
Thankyou Eric, I watched all 7 of your video's today. I Greatly Appreciate all of the Information, God Bless You and your Family

Better than nothing.
Good evening from Ireland. Love your channel 👏👏👏
I heard baking soda will clean off radiation .also I have ordered a solution called lugols iodine it's safe for children to. I got it from Sawnson
If the blast knocks the windows out the wind will be super fast in the middle of the house so if ure on the blast zone get up against the front wall facing the blast initially so you won't get blown away
Thanks! Can you transmit via Shortwave Radio after SHTF? Let us know what frequency you will use.
I would suggest based on the falling away we see everywhere. Ask the Lord the to come into your life.
I carry a shovel in the back of my car, a tarp, emergency food, water, torch, medicine. (Potassium iodide) Because of the wide distant country roads. My plan will be to dig a ditch big enough to huddle inside cover with a board, tarp, & dirt push my car over it & crawl underneath. Then lie flat with my head at the lowest point.

Excellent video! Sharing!
Are you safer in a brick house? Do you think covering windows will help a tad?
What source are citing for your shielding thicknesses? Your thicknesses are at least double or triple of the shielding charts I've seen to reduce radiation to the USG standard of 1/1000th.
Better to over do it than under do it I say. But then again,not all of us have feet of concrete to hide in
Thank you for the information 👍 stay safe 🙏
Love your info. Follow you . Great family shows also. Retired Hospice RN. Food moving to several places. Thank you for the tip
thank you for sharing this information 🙏thank you for teaching us to do in case of emergency. I have a question do you think the radiation can effect us here in the Philippines Philippines ?
Thank you for this important information . Many have not a clue about fallout . We appreciate all your knowledge . May the good Lord watch over you and your family . Peace and Love 😊
I've looked at a U.S. map, which shows the worst and best locations to be, in case they start falling. Unless they drop one in Grayling, you in Clare and myself in Iosco County, Michigan, are in a good location. My sister-in-law has a full basement at her place in Rose City.
If you have a completely submerged basement with a wooden 2 story wooden house above, aren’t you still getting radiation from above? What is the solution in that case?
The shielding is for the Gamma radiation not the alpha particles from fallout. Two things are being confused
What cities would be hit first Eric? I'm thinking distance....
Cut off the head... So capital cities would be targeted on a 1st strike I feel. Along with the nuclear weapon areas. Most populated areas outside of that should be ok. That's of course it's not total annihilation 😳😳😶
San Diego is definitely on the list... Naval base.
Thank John and GeeDee. So, Washington for sure, NY, Chicago...now I'm wondering how far of distance? Like 30-50mile Radius? Or more? I guess it would depend on the strength of the nuke? Could go 100mile radius or more? Idk..
I live 30 miles outside Detroit. It's pretty close if it were hit
@@cbass2755 50 miles radius.
Thank you for all the information. Really appreciate all that you do.
Time , Distance and Shielding
We would be so screwed because the bombs won’t be the only thing we’d have to worry about. Think about the nuclear plants, the chemical plants, etc.
Seems like they are all getting blown up now before the war.
Thank you for sharing this information with us. I ordered my book now.
This series has been great. I would like to get 1 clarification if possible. You state that it takes 6 feet of concrete to stop all radiation.

Now my question is when a nuclear bomb hits how much time do you have for it to travel. Well I know its tricky depending how close it hit too. Wow this is just stressful
Question: if I have plants out in my garden should I avoid eating any of it after the fall out?
Dont eat
Do not eat them, but you can plant corn and sunflowers which after 1 to 3 years would remove the tainted soil from the radiation, so that you could plant a normal garden after hopefully.
So after fallout washes into the dirt how do we grow food ? Supplies only last so long.
Agree. Ridiculous. Would rather be vaporized and get it over with. People if u are lucky enough to survive initially the aftermath will be hell.
If you can plant sunflowers and corn, they will remove the fallout from the soil, it may take between 1-3 years until you can have a normal garden. It may depend on how bad the fallout in your area is and or how much sunflower or corn you plant. Also do not eat the corn or sunflowers as these plants will draw the fallout into it self.
Perhaps a railroad tunnel or hyway tunnel
Question at 50 miles from a blast zone what could we expect living in a RV ?
Thanks for the video. I understand that you need 12 feet of soil shielding. Where I get confused is shielding of Aplha/Beta/Gamma radiation. I heard that some is much easier to block than others. Can you elaborate the shielding in regards to the radiation types?

U only need 3 feet. 12 is a crazy number, where did u get that? Kearney's Nuclear War Survival Skills is a free download able PDF

What about covering yourself in a mylar blanket in the center of the house?
I live in a high rise apartment and I'm on 8th floor what do I do? Where can I hide from the radiation?
If there's an underground parking garage, go there. If not, stay in hallways in middle bldg. NO windows.
What about a crawl space? (Basement)
Watching zombie movies and TV shows will help too.
I guess sitting in my single wide mobile home won’t work out too well…..
Me too!
Question should I remove a cars computer beforehand and protect it like having backup inverters we talked about on the live show ?
Just had it fixed
Chevy
That took a minute btw the longest car repair ever
So I want to protect it and I’m driving the old jeep less likely to be seen as a target 408k miles thirty plus years old
Also, you need 18 inches of soil covering any exposed, external concrete to the basement. Try to mound up as much as you can on the outer walls of the house. It will help a bit.
So being in a single story home with no basement I'm basically screwed.
Same here

That interior hall or closet. Everything you can put between you and the radiation. Sides and above. Close all windows, curtains, turn off or close all vents. Pray for some rain to wash the roof off if not flat. If you are in a forever home then maybe build a shelter or a place that has shielding
Start digging to put in a shelter under ground
Start digging.....😢
"Six feet of concrete."
My brain: "Surely he meant six inches."
"Six *FEEt*"
My brain: "Oh shit."
great videos..very educational ...petty about the one about...emp...too long...nothing against your lovely family...but could you do a short one with a good explanation of emp and its effects ..this kind of video only works if is short and concise..
Stay inside for a month or stay in the basement for a month?
Mylar double layers can give you 100 percent protection. From Emf radiation. There is emf coating that you can apply to ceiling and walls and floor. It will give you 100 percent protection if you do a double coating.
Where has this been checked?
Hmmm
What would you reccomend people in Louisiana doing? No basements anywhere for anyone.
Same here who these days can afford a home with a centre space? I’ve got two rooms and tiny Hallway with front door on communal landing with glass stairwell. There is no way to go or place to hid. Only bunkers in UK are for GOV staff. Rather stay in my bed last few days than sleep
On the floor 3 metres away and die anyway!
Would medical X-ray shielding cloaks help at all? Where would one even get lead light enough to carry that would help? Prob no one could afford it anyway. Pls give us some constructive help advice that’s more possible for us elderly financially restricted non builders could do please
So would I be able to evacuate as soon as a alert is issued?
So that fallout shelter that Walter built won't cut it?
ua-cam.com/video/OHmGn-oL2uU/v-deo.html
I'm starting to think my tinfoil radiation suits aren't really going to help much. 🤔🥃🙁
Good luck taking that shower because the grid will be down. No electricity means no water pressure.
I can’t find practical information about how much the radiation dose decreases with distance. I know about the inverse square law. (Twice the distance! One quarter the dose. 5 times the distance, one twenty fifth the dose, etc) But that doesn’t help with practical situations. Example: if I am in the center of my basement, the closest external surface would be my back patio which is 25 ft away. How much radiation do I get if the outside dose is 100 R/hr?
Hello from canada
Great advice. Thank you for putting in all that time.

Then that those behind the fiction used revelation of method in her name which encodes Mercury. The trickster, the deceiver, and the god of commerce. From there, go learn that there's no such thing. So in the end, the best way to prep is to learn that there are those behind the Oz curtain deceiving you about everything.
It won't let me like the video. I'm not sure why.
What if you live 30 miles downwind from ORNL and don't have a basement?
I'm trying not to be mean but you need to move or find the nearest fallout shelter . I wish you and yours the best .Peace and Love 😊
Do you suggest a cold shower so the hot water doesn't open your pores
What advice do you have for people who live in a single story apartment complex? I honestly feel hopeless to be perfectly honest.
I've made other videos addressing that. Here's one: ua-cam.com/video/YGTLaI5uh9k/v-deo.html

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.
THKS
Great, earthen basements are best for shielding, which puts most Texans at a disadvantage. And, lets say you have a basement and a months supply of food and water, then what? Nuclear preparedness, talk about a false sense of security. While this topic may be good clickbait, I would suggest focusing on more survivable scenarios.
I agree, There aren't many studies for something like this, at this point, it's just guessing.
Morning! Dumb question! So when is this nuclear attack going to happen? Can you see everyone in the home jumping into the shower....wow!
So where is this nuclear attack coming from? Will people be informed to be home?
I think your off on shielding. 3ft of earth has been mentioned by atlast survival shelters. More the better but 12 ft sounds like a bit much. Good video tho
I've got a question I live in a 12 by 24 cabin do you have any comments that I can do to shield myself better
Dig
I would build a small 4' by 8' cement shelter next to a window. 15" by 7" by 3" solid cement blocks don't cost much at a lumber yard. Slope the roof away from your cabin to shed rain or snow. Make the walls 24 inches thick. Use 2 ladders to access the inside during the construction. Use 4" by 6" posts to support a 3/4 " thick plywood base to hold the 24" thick cement roof. Before the last layer of cement is on the sloped roof add a layer of thick ice guard , overlapped, to provide a leak-proof roof. If the worst happens, open the window, climb inside and stay there at least 14 days.
Is there going to be a nuclear blast any time soon????
Can we protect our pets in any way? I don’t think so. Heartbreaking if something happens. 😢
A lot of us here in Las Vegas are screwed. A quick option would be to immediately go to an underground parking facility here in various Las Vegas casinos. I’d make sure I also have ample food and water for a month before I leave the area after fallout.
Just try to keep away from the dust
Go to the sewer drains that we’re built for the flash flooding they are quite large
@@Slimchip , Good point. but then I’d have to deal with the meth-heads & the homeless population that live there. At least I have a plenty of weapons & ammo to protect myself. Lol
So, we're pretty much screwed
My basement has about seven single pane windows. I'll have to give that some thought.
Me too. Not sure what I can do...
Fill them in? Concrete them up?
Your camera not looking on you
No need for me to prep any more. I have a walk out basement.
Me too. I can’t build a bunker inside there financially or physically and I’ve racked my brain with things I could do with no answers sad😢
Ok got the picture..basically the majority of us stand no chance.
My whole basement is ready even toilet and shower and wood stove I cook on heat the house I worry about my 4 4leg babies
They scrubbed Harrison ford on Indiana Jones and the crystal skulls with a long brush when he was at that nuke test site and jumped in a lead lined refrigerator lmfao 😂😢😅😢😅 it blow him out of the texting zone.
What about your pets
The lead is not accurate. I've lead lined offices and rooms in nuclear refining places and not that thick

well, one can only do what one can do . . . do the best one can with what ya have. we all can`t afford an underground bunker. I`m sorry to say. more will survive than one may think. just prepare.
So you’re saying for most of us there’s no chance.
Ok I’m doom I live in my RV that’s my home so I’m not going to another building and leave everything behind .
So What it sounds like your saying is that being inside a House that doesn't have at least 3 feet of concrete surrounding the house all sides top and Bottom. Your pretty much F8(&#d and id guess that pretty much Know one has that kind of protection.
After a nuclear blast where are you going to get a shower ?
Good question!🤣
None 🫢🤪
City water will run till the towers empty
Well water depends on electricity for the pump
If you're even a tiny bit serious about prepping you should have a working rain barrel minimum, and then you'd have water stored up
I said that up above. Nothing would be working.
@@birdsintheburbs7414 You think the towers will survive a nuclear blast ?
Who really wants to survive a nuclear attack? Not a world I want to wander around in. I'd hope I'm vaporized.
If a bomb comes, big bomb, ima run fsst .
Very good recap. Here is the problem though. Over a 100 million of us live in the suburbs without basements. If we are lucky enough to be at home if the shtf and were in a double or single story home it seems there is not much that will help. Yes go to the center of the house with as much distance as possible from the ceiling and side walls. But this is virtually no shielding. And not that much distance. If we were fairly sure this was going to happen and we knew weeks or months before we could build a bunker in our small back yard. Thats if you have the means say an extra 50k 0r so. The vast majority don't. So I think the truth is you have to hope and pray first that your not closer than 20 or so miles away from the blast and the fallout plum rides away from your home so that the fallout is very small . Then again I don't know if a very small amount would be just as bad as being down wind of the center of the plum. Most small and medium sized towns do not have community shelters. Goshen Prepping keep up the good work. You mean well and we will all do our best if and when.
Surely you jest…
JESUS, take me home, will be my prayer.
We wont survive a nuke attack gentleman. Be realistic. 😂
Thank you. You're right. These videos give a false sense of security.
Is it Time yet I'm ready for Jesus christ to come get his children
