But I remember questioning why we sometimes faced towards the windows for nuclear drills. to me as a kid it wasn't sound to be facing towards flying glass. the reason was to protect from radiation. Which really doesn't add up either. I still say away from windows was better. even if it gave a slight bit more radiation. Since it was just for the blast. And shortly after you went to the fallout shelter. Fire drills were monthly Earthquake drill were about once a month or two. Fallout drill were about 2 to 3 times a year. During the 70s. Dont remember them during the 80s, but was in Junior high or high school then. Also we moved 2 to 6 times a year. So it possible I just missed them at the schools

As Bob mentioned, the bales of hay are not as dense as most of the usual materials, but they would be better than nothing. The metal barn will provide some distance and a slight amount of protection, depending on how thick the metal skin and roof are. Minimizing the amount of dust entering would be important ...sounds like you are planning on that. Think about possibly creating a structure that the hay could be stacked on and around...something with some mass that would add to the mass of the hay. With this threat, most of us have to get somewhat creative to get the job done. Let us know if we can help further...way to be thinking!

Hey Karl...because many foods have considerable mass, they can protect you similar to what concrete, steel, dirt, etc can. You will be using this inside your home or shelter to put mass between you and the radiation. This food should never get any fallout dust...if it does, you are in danger also. This food is safe to eat. If there are foods (i.e. canned goods or other packaged foods) that get some fallout on them outside your shelter, when you can safely exit your shelter, these can be cleaned off and the food inside can be eaten. Even though it is safe to be out some, you don't want to ingest that dust. Our 3rd video discusses this further...that should be out this week. Great question...keep being part of the solution!

Great questions! If there were to be more than one weapon used in an area, it would add to the initial radiation you are subjected to IF you are in the blast zone. If you are not in the blast zone(s), initial radiation will not be a factor. However, if each of those weapons created fallout, there would potentially be more radioactive dust that would fall in your area (depending on how these are carried by winds), thus more rads to harm you. However, most of us will survive if we take a few modest steps to protect ourselves. Thanks for being part of the solution!

Gamma radiation doesn't affect food supplies the same way alpha and beta do. As long as it is sealed and contaminants can't get into your supplies you can eat/drink it no issue. Keeping your supplies between you and the outer portion of your shelter provides additional defense as gamma is a long life penetration radiation. Basically The more solid stuff between you and the outside is the main goal. Knowing half life of the radiation will help with knowing how far you can stray from your "safe area", INSIDE your home

Could you make a "walk-in closet" by arranging 4 bookshelves in a manner that makes the closet walls and stacking books horizontally on the shelves? You could place boards across the top to make a roof and placing tubs of water on top.

Question, if we use our homes for shelter can't we cover the outside of our homes with plastic? Or cover up the basement with plastic?

What I've figured out, after doing a little bit of research, is to do the inside of windows and doors, but don't forget about ventilation, so maybe leave a window far away from your shelter, like on the other side of your house, cracked a little so you don't suffocate. Also I think taking tarps or plastic and putting them up going from your roof to the ground at a angle (like 45 degrees or so), would help to keep any fallout from landing and accumulating right next to your house, since most of the risk would be from the dust ....might not be 100% foolproof, but if you can extend that dust another 10 or so feel from your house, it would make a big difference, I forget the numbers, but I think every 10 or so feet the amount of radiation is cut in half

Hey John...you definitely can prepare and survive. Start with a desire to learn and take some modest steps to prepare. Before nuclear preparedness, make sure you have food and water...that will help you through most crises. Then continue the learning and actions toward preparing for whatever may come, including the nuclear threat...certainly hope that never materializes, but all of us can prepare to be part of the solution, to lead out and make a difference. Keep making progress!

I'm not afraid. In the 50s the government told citizens to clean up yard debris and paint their houses, practiced school drills and sold tiny bunkers knowing full well it was futile. Only served to ease public sentiment and relinquish accountability for engaging in dangerous conduct

Given that boomer parents(including myself) grew up in the cold war Era with nuclear threats prevalent I'm surprised they haven't done some preps. For me...I'm struggling to make any progress with my daughter (age in the 50's) to even consider listening to anything let alone doing something. I've been doing all I can to stock stuff to physically survive..food/water/medications/first aid, etc...my daughter won't even listen do I no longer tell her about my own actions...I'm sure if it comes to that either she will be here (not too likely at the moment) or I and all my collected stuff will be at her house. Because she has 2 larger size dogs, my house isn't really suitable..especially since one is a fence jumper and the other is a digger and wiggler so they would be escaping in all likelihood

It was also a sort of second bathroom, there was a toilet and shower in it.

If I were the enemy I'd attack while families are at work, school, out shopping, driving, scattered. It would be hard to get family together and protected. I would expect them to do that. Imagine moms and dads at work and kids at different schools, daycares, etc. That would be heart wrenching and likely affect more people. Think about the way a predator waits for an animal to leave it's lair. While you may get lucky to be together at home, it's more likely you would die apart or get home and die together later due to exposure. Nothing wrong with trying though.

@@get_spanked240 OK this is from official documents I remember from the cold war while I was in the military. On the USSR targets. Draw a line from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. lining up with FORT LEONARDWOOD MISSOURI. That whole line had nukes 50 miles apart. With Ft Leonardwood having an additional 5 on the fort itself. Any city over 50,000 people was to be hit by at least one. major cities 10 plus. Such as LA, NY DC Any military instalation was to be hit by 5 or more. excluding reserve centers. Any missile silo was to be hit. That was from Soviet documents. And that what I remember. Now. since then a lot has happened..For one those 50k cities are now much bigger. And new 50k cities have came about. Is there now missles at them? On the other hand. two other factors. 1) Russia was part of the USSR. they don't have all those missiles. Some of those old Soviet blocks countries Kept those missiles. 2) Downsizing was also done. BTW Star Wars is still in the sky. It was never recovered. But it was hushed. Just to throw another wrench into the mess. So really, you just don't know. And we the people are just too stupid to be told the truth.

You can know that the enemy will be strategic about what they do. My best advice is to take steps to prepare, and make sure everyone is a part of the process, that you create a plan, and that you practice that plan with family and loved ones. It doesn't have to be overly depressing, but discuss real life and how, as a team, we will all work to get everyone safe. Hope this all never happens, but times are weird and we must do what we can.
