Fun answer? War lord.
What would more likely happen, since our small isolated town would be most likely safe (even from fallout), we’d probably stick together (aside from a few shit heads) there would be quite a few community and neighborhood gardens. Fishing, harvesting and hunting will be done from kayaks and there will probably be a lot of people learning to sail. Our town already has a local farmers market, about half the items sold are locally grown food. It’s good being more independent. There’s just over 8000 here in winter. If freight stopped arriving, that would get interesting. We have a hydro, so unless there there’s a close emp (doubtful) we’d still have power even. There’d be a hell of a lot less fat folks after the diet change and all the extra manual labor. I say that because fit thinner people generally have fewer chronic medical issues, meaning it’ll put less of a strain on the local hospital, but people will die if meds stop arriving. |

In any SHTF scenario, my strategy is the same.
Shelter in place with close family, keep a low profile, defend what is mine, and wait for the initial bloodbath to fade before beginning to rebuild. |

I live downwind of DC and Frederick (Ft Detrick), and Camp David, so I'm fucked. Don't really have anywhere to flee to, being an on-foot refugee while the fallout drifts down = death.

Shelter in place. I'm out of the blast area quite a ways.
Hang out in the basement and celler for 4 weeks till the radiation drops. Go out looking for long pork since I'm stocked up on barbecue sauce. More likely, go on a diet. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Depends on whether or not you believe a large scale nuclear exchange would substantially change the environment. Some predictions show a substantial cooling effect that would severely impact farming, leading to mass starvation. The firestorms set off by thousands of nuclear explosions would add significant particulates to the upper atmosphere in addition to huge amount of radioactive dust from ground or near ground bursts (typical for hard targets) would certainly have an atmospheric affect. The explosion of just one volcano halfway around the world in Indonesia caused 1847 to be called "the Year without Summer" in Europe causing widespread famine & strife. Mass Starvation would quickly occur because the modern food system depends on Energy & Connectivity which would be destroyed in a significant nuclear exchange. Fertilizer & pesticides are petroleum based along with the fact that 99.87% of farms (excepting maybe the Amish & Mennonites) are mechanized requiring fuel. IF the weather cooperated, and IF the farms could manage to bring in a harvest with the materials on hand - then the question is How does it get to the Citizen in the city / town / village and in a form they can eat? Modern food processing involves rail cars or trucks sending the raw food stock to become processed foods, packed and then returned to a warehouse hub for distribution. Give most people a bag of harvested wheat saying "Here you go - enjoy it!" and they'd have no idea what to do with it to make anything edible. In addition diseases not seen for decades or even centuries from various deficiencies of vitamins or malnutrition would return. A BIG nuclear exchange isn't going to be some fatal radioactive doomsday shroud like "On the Beach" or "Dr. Strangelove" but the breakdown & destruction of utilities, energy, food production & distribution will be biblical. Remember the phrase "72 hours to Anarchy"? - try 7 months without regular food & You'd eventually have folks desperate enough who would resort to anything to eat (AKA The Road).  Bigger_Hammer
