Surviving Nuclear Aftermath

Make a small group to increase our chances for survival, or, the Fallout method (shoot and ask questions later).

Sorry man, but even those probably wouldn't work. The EMP effect would most likely make them useless. If it was weak enough, then maybe your cars would work. But they've only proven that small devices could survive. A car battery probably wouldn't, let alone all the cords inside the car. Any cords plugged into anything electric are basically lightning rods for EMPs, unless the cords are protected by rubber lining, which is different. But if there's even a small hole, god help you.

Let's put it this way; if the blast was close enough to damage the heavy-guage wiring in the ignition system, then the blast was close enough to do more than sprinkle radiation.
Old cars do not have any sensitive micro-electronics to be damaged by an EMP, it's just the starter, a distributor, and a mechanically-driven carburetor.

it would short out the spark plug though.

anyways, I probably try, though I doubt it would do any good. If it was really a nuclear holocaust. I think the only real way of surviving would be to leave Earth itself.

Hmmm.....that's a new one. How would it be possible without available transport?

you would have to make it to a place that has enough resources untouched by the nuclear holocaust to make it plausible.

Even this would have trouble because the resources would most likely be limited, with uses for other things. You would have to gather enough people that know what they are doing to run it, if you manage to either locate a craft possible of it or construct one.

Yeah. It is plausible, but it's one of those one in a million things of working out.

Basically, we'd be fucked.

You got my respect. If i joined forces with you( i study aeronautics engineering )
we'd be able to build something. Shi-the creativity. LOL.

Indeed. Because of my awesomeness and manliness I could take care of the radioactive zombie bears with my bare hands while at the same time whipping you into making the spacecraft to journey into the new world.

It would need to be large enough to hold 100 women or otherwise they might die from orgasm overload.

I suppose I could allow room for you and some girl. Just not one of my 100 women. I don't do sharing.

Fine by me, I only need one.LOL. Man, this made my day.

Though in all seriousness, I guess, what type of places would be unscathed enough from a nuclear war, that this could even work.

I'd assume major cities would be targets first. Your average nuke, can wipout whole cities like New York. So, if you think about it, certain centers, like the Space Kennedy center will have minimal or no damage, assuming, the enemy doesnt know of its location.

I suppose it is possible.

But you also have to remember that it will require supplies such as food and water.

Considering only 3% of the earth is fresh water, including glaciers, all you would have would be irradiated water. Now, i heard vending machines can be serviceable after extensive damage. One must assume, their are rations to live on.

they wouldn't need to be serviceable, they would just need to be uncontaminated.

You can easily break apart something like that with a little thought.

Just make sure you have a weapon in case. You don't know what can happen while you're opening a vending machine.

The only problem would be that it might be difficult to determine if something is contaminated or not.

Probably would need to locate some animals to use for testing.

First thing what kind of Rifle have I got? Im hoping its an L42 or something of that nature. (Chances are ill probably have a side arm too)

I really would want to stay as far away from other "people" as possible initially so ill hole up and I wont go on that trip unless its absolutely critical, If I really need medical attention then ill try to yomp my way to the nearest Hospital (Or whats left of it) and help myself out the best I can.

My government will probably be reasonably well organised considering so when the situation calms down a bit and im called upon ill probably join a local militia.

Im not worried about mutation and hopefully ive got an NBC suit, Nuclear aftermath? Im gonna look at it as optimistically as I can and say It probably looks worse than it is.

M-1 Carbine or an FMP_90 SMG. Ammo is an issue. But think about it. Weapons can become obsolete.

Or adapted.

INTO A CLUB!

What is this club you speak of? LOL.
