- You need a self-sustaining (for at least weeks) nuclear fallout shelter otherwise I think the whole thing is pointless. This takes a lot of money and time to build.
- I can't legally own a firearm in my country

- rolobio 5y agoYou really don't need an expensive shelter. It comes down to the amount of dirt between you and the nuclear fallout particles. Every 3.6 inches (9.1cm) of well packed earth will halve the gamma rays that make it to your body. So, with around 18 inches (45 cm) of earth, you reduce the gamma radiation exposure to 1/32. After around 2 weeks, the vast majority of the fallout will have decayed and it will be safe to evacuate if you would like.
- kozikow 5y agoI also live near Ukraine (Poland): - IIUC even if a tactical nuke were to hit Ukraine, if you stay inside for couple days, cover and stay away from windows, use your own water, use air filter - the amount of radiation is going to be small enough to not be a health hazard. - Firearm license is not that hard to get. It's just an excuse.
- chockchocschoir 5y ago> - Firearm license is not that hard to get. It's just an excuse. Maybe not in Poland, but there are plenty of countries where it is difficult to acquire a firearm license, or outright impossible (for the purpose of being able to have actual firearms at home). GP never outlined what country they are living in either, so not sure how you can tell them it's just an excuse.
