Lol. Why did you say Mirthful Me?

Even an all out nuclear war, there will still be survivors. But, how would you get there, if there is a launch, you would have maybe 20-30 min. Also, how would you know of a launch in the first place?

No Im planning this ahead of time like right now. If I feel that there is going to be a world war im making my move. Im not waiting for the bombs to fly. I dont think we are there yet but we are getting there and Im not sticking around if it does.

Ok well change Russia/US to Pakistan and India. Either way if I feel 2 nuclear powers are going to let them rip Im getting the hell to the safest place I can be. This is why I brought up the thread. BTW Im 100% serious. Im really looking at my options.

Bear in mind that if a nuclear war seems imminent US airspace will be closed to civilian traffic. That'll limit your freedom of movement right away. So if you're relying on the airlines to make your escape you're going to have to follow the developing international crisis very closely & pick the right moment to flee. If travelling by car ensure you have enough gas for your journey cos that'll be the first thing to dry up in a crisis, panic buying etc. And try to avoid main roads, the authorities might close main roads for military traffic & to control the populace. Don't rely on satnav to get you there either, the government will simply switch off GPS.

I'd avoid continental USA altogether, even mid west rural areas. The fall out from the west coast will travel hundreds, maybe even thousand of miles and make you every bit as vulnerable there. Think the nuclear planners expect the worst of the fall out to be around for about two weeks before you'll be able to safely go outside. So you'll need enough food & water for you & your family for 14 days ... don't leave that too late either. Try and acquire enough tinned food to get you past that, start now actually, a few extra cans in your weekly shop won't break the bank.

Head south I reckon. Mexico, Central America or still further south if you possibly can. Or north into Canada if that's your only option. Take items you can barter for food, water & gas (your dollar won't be buying much if the USA is in ruins). And take a gun or three. And enough ammo to protect you & yours.

If you manage to escape safely you can then make plans for your new life. Forget the USA altogether, it'll take decades to re-build. Australia & New Zealand might be attractive options, maybe Brazil & Argentina too. In fact move now. Human nature being what it is there's every likelehood that nuclear weapons will be used during your own lifetime, it's nothing short of miraculous that they haven't been used during the last 50/60 years.

Bit fatalist, huh ?

I wouldn't leave the U.S. I like it here in idaho. The mountains are tall, have lots of wild game for food, and plenty of caves to live in. Fairchild AFB is no longer a target because it is only used as a re-fueling depot. There are no target areas within 100 miles of me.

It sounds like you're living in your own private Idaho! (sorry, couldn't resist). Uh, it's a song...

I live in DENVER. If there is going to be a mushroom-cloud over the DNC, I bet it will be very pretty, as it is always pretty here during this time of year (all year! I love COLORADO! Although it is raining like OREGON today).

My options are praying that I-70 is not closed. I have all the survival gear I need. I've been buying on can of canned food every time I shop, for some months now. It is quite the supply.
