My take is slightly different, but if you manage to survive a first (and a second) strike, would you really want to live in that world anymore? I would try to make sure I have a way to die as peaceful as is possible. I'm not saying you shouldn't do all the other stuff (stock up on supplies, find a place that's safe from fallout and nuclear contamination). What I am saying is that today if the reality is that Russia holds 6,000 nukes, and many of them are cobalt bombs, depending upon the weather and where you live and how many cobalt bombs were dropped and the efficiency of conversion of CO-59 to CO-60, etc... I'm not sure there's much you can do other than die peacefully. I think some people will say, "But Nuclear War is Survivable. People dying of fallout won't happen. Nuclear winter is a false hypothesis. Russia doesn't have cobalt bombs." I just don't want to test the hypothesis and find out they were wrong.
