In California we don't have basements and majority of our buildings are all above ground due to earthquakes so I pray this does not happen. I do have all my necessities for this situation that double for so many other scenarios as well.

Great job

Great job. I just found your channel and shared it with many people. Yesterday I put together the TOTE for a week. 🍳 Last year I put together a "Lights out kit".

Be Prepared, not Scared!!!! Keep up the great work.

@Grant Jones it might be time to think outside "the box" of your apartment so to speak. Does your building have a basement level at all? Building staircases can be options if they are deeper within the building and often steel or concrete reinforced. Is there a close nearby building that is made of brick or concrete and possibly has inner areas or lower levels? There are so many variables that are impossible to know such as impact location and warning time, if any. But just brainstorming different options can be helpful. There would obviously be an area within which not much would matter but for the majority outside that radius there are options.

Hi Carmen! I got them from Amazon! If you check the video description there are links. I thought they were pretty awesome!

It's really sad how much energy we will have to apply to prepping for this when such an event is entirely avoidable and should never happen in the first place. Why is it acceptable all of a sudden to have to consider the possibility this happening, it's a possibility to consider prepping for. How about making sure it doesn't happen. No one puts energy into that. Why do we have elected leaders when we still have to anticipate such an event may be possible. There's no nonchalant prepping and we're ok. Look at Hiroshima survivor pictures and the suffering they had to endure. Yet every one wants to prep and keep their loved ones safe. How safe will you be? People will drink milk unaware it's radiated. Milk keeps radiation. We need to prevent any nuclear event from happening that's where the energy needs to go. Surviving with prepping is possible but the amount of suffering and tragedy... We've seen it. Did we learn from it? Considering this a possible event is wise, prepping is wise but just be aware that this not a gentlemen's crime. We haven't learned from the past. Sad. You prep, you survive. How will we find non irradiated water to drink and food? Moneybags have bunkers and food stashed away, no doubt. All Preps run out and then you still have to face the crap outside.

Your comment is spot on. I remember a TV series titled Jericho, it was about habitants of the small town Jericho that were surviving after a nuclear bomb. The state of affairs theses days is chilling. I just know that I won't go on the roads trying to evacuate, everybody will be there and freak out.

I assume that your pantry has some things that could be eaten without cooking, having that option extends the amount of time you could be in the basement. I have a camping set which nests a pot or 2, a skillet and bowls, plates, and cups for 4, the whole set is smaller than my stock pot. I also have some camping pots that used to belong to a scout troop but they would be left if I had to bug out. boiling water takes more energy than just heating up, so hand sanatizer and wet wipes to lessen water use is something to consider.

In the absence of underground shelter, it's best to get to the center of the building, materials like concrete, brick, stone, lead and steel are the best shielding material outside of solid earth. Two of the things you'll be worried about are fallout and gamma radiation. Any type of shelter should be enough to protect you from fallout . It's the gamma radiation that is penetrating and can pass through many materials similar to an xray. These rays are limited to traveling in straight line though. Knowing the the direction of the detonation relative to your location could help you put the most barrier between you and those type of radiation. Also shielding yourself from heat and shock waves and flying debris but if you are close enough to be worrying about that your reaction time would be almost nil. But also think about other resources that could be close by to your home or wherever you are if you aren't at home.

My comment is not related to cooking at all more about adding an extra layer of protection. You might have time to stack some premade sandbags over the basement windows if you already have them filled and in a wheelbarrow or wagon ready to move quickly in the event it's needed. It's always amazes me how I watch videos of the same vloggers every year having to get plywood to board up the same windows in the event of a hurricane. I'm thinking WHY are they getting rid of the wood? for one it's expensive and time consuming to keep having to measure and cut. Guess it's not as dramatic of a video if you're not in a panic trying to prepare. I personally would mark the boards and keep them year after year but that's just me I guess. Anyway as preppers we like to do as much as possible in a cost effective manner and have as much done before it's needed. So I'm getting foam board insulation to have precut and measured for my two bigger windows and I have the plastic and duct tape right there with them. covering up vents etc is going to be time consuming so having the windows prepped ahead of time could potentially be a matter of life of death.

The one question I have, that I haven’t been able to find concrete information about, is how long the air in my basement can sustain me, and how not to waste available oxygen. I did read that in an empty 10 x 10 x 10 room of, initially, fresh air that 1 person could survive 2-3 days. Now, that is for a completely empty room (no storage boxes or emergency food). So, our basement has a very limited capacity of air, and my worry is that, should we also lose electricity, what could be used to heat food that will not use up the precious oxygen? I have found sufficient battery-powered lighting, but nothing for heating food. Will I just have to be content with cold soup straight from a can? Thanks in advance!

Hi Tiffany! From what I've read and researched I'll try to put together something that makes sense. First of all it's virtually impossible to make any room completely airtight. If plastic is used to seal up a room it should only be for a few hours. Plastic is recommended more for chemical or biological attacks which usually dissipate more quickly. Plastic sheeting would not stop gamma radiation "rays" but getting yourself down below ground level will since these rays can only travel in a straight line. Theoretically plastic should offer some shielding from fallout particles, but the physical structure of your house will do that (roof walls etc). We do keep plastic sheeting in our kits. I believe it could be valuable to seal off obvious holes and cracks as well as air intakes such as for hvac systems that could allow fallout particles to enter. It could also be helpful to cordon off a decontamination area of your shelter if needed. But once again no room can or will typically be airtight there is natural ventilation ie. why you won't suffocate in your home even with all the doors and windows closed. I definitely would have battery operated carbon monoxide detectors and if you can find one an oxygen depletion alarm. Also if you can keep track of weather patterns such as winds and the direction of a blast relative to your location it could be helpful to determine when and if it might be ok to crack a window for ventilation and which side of the shelter would be better to do so. Of course a weather/emergency radio to keep updated if there is any info available. Also check out alcohol fuels they are very safe to burn inside. They don't put off at harmful vapors, of course i would think anything that burns would consume oxygen but alcohol fuels may be the safest. These are just some thoughts i hope some of this is helpful!

This is why a particulate filter - N99 P100 - is used both in Fukushima area or Kazakhstan nuclear test areas, even years or decades after.

Even a basement won't protect you from a nuclear bomb if you're within 5-10 miles of the impact. However, beyond that radius and a basement DOES protect you from gamma rays and fallout. With no basement or bunker, your main goal is to put as much mass between you and the direction of the bomb as possible. If you find a friend that has a basement, a church, a parking garage, high-rise building, shopping center, subway. There's even a story of a man that survived Hiroshima by ducking into a drainage ditch. Most of us learn at a young age that nuclear war is impossible to survive. But it's not the case. With some preparation and some planning... it is absolutely survivable, even without a basement or bunker.
