marharth Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 If you live near a natural phenomena, I forget what it is called, but essentially due to the landscape it creates a sort of natural barrier against rain and snow clouds, as well as ash plumes. I do know there is one near me, and I know that the town of Chico, CA is in one. But if you can survive the initial bombs, and get to an area like that, you would GREATLY increase your chances of survival.It would be hard for you to not survive if you live far away from any targets, and you are prepared. I am pretty much completely surrounded by mountains were I live, I could go outside and look all around and see nothing but mountains right now. The closest target from where I live is LA I think, and that's pretty far away from where I live. The radiation from the fallout of a nuclear bomb dies down after about a day due to the extreme energy. If you live far away from any target, have supplies, can find a good spot like a mountain, and you know what to do without relying on other people you will be fine IMO.

eLucifer Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) I haven't done much stocking yet, but I have a plan I believe is solid. You see, I live in the middle(well, not at the exact spot) of a city. So there are shops for EVERYTHING near where my home is. There is a diving store practically next door. My plan is to go there, while everyone else is busy scavenging for food and real weapons, and steal a harpoon gun. After living on my own supplies, I will go to a hunting store not so near(well, it's not exactly a hunting store but has bows, arrows and crossbows), and salvage whatever weapon I can. Then the looting for food begins, with half of the city population already gone somewhere or died. I live on the fourth floor of a cement building, so shelter from danger is not an issue. Nothing can climb 4 floors or break a solid steal door. This plan, as you can guess is of course in case my family is already dead or the apocalypse is not nuclear. Otherwise, I'm as good as dead(parents bring you down, and I don't have the cold heart to kill mine). Edited April 17, 2011 by eLucifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartanA128 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The bottom line is that likely none of the posters in this topic would survive for longer than a week before dying from lack of Wi-Fi and porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
