Nuclear War Survival Skills, what a fun topic! Fingers crossed I can find Civil War Survival Skills, Climate Apocalypse Survival Skills, and AI World Takeover Survival Skills to keep the good times going in the coming weeks!
Cresson Kearny's Nuclear War Survival Skills was originally published in 1979, and then updated in 1987, during what I hoped would be the last era everyone went to sleep at night stressed out about nukes. But now, thanks to 2022 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, plus a side of North Korea, we have another updated edition, with new input from Kearny's apprentice Steven E. Harris. So...goody.
If you want to know the ramifications of and how to protect yourself from "a full-out nuclear war or a nuclear accident or nuclear detonations going off on the other side of the world," Nuclear War Survival Skills claims to have your answers. Further, Kearny and Harris say those answers revolve around "Expedient Civil Defense," or methods and items you already have in your home, or can easily obtain.
I'd go more into the specifics of Nuclear War Survival Skills, but I don't want to ruin the book for all you dudes and ladies looking for a feel-good beach read to take on vacation this summer.
