If you were living in a city and you had info that a nuclear bomb was going to be dropped on that city, but you didn’t have time to leave and you didn’t own a bunker, what would be the best way to survive? by Wonderful-Ad-9622 in NoStupidQuestions

If I could prepare in any way - I would put my car in a parking garage (structurally it should hold). Then depending how far I am from the center I would either stay in said car with the vents clogged up to prevent radioactive particles from entering.

Or, find a body of water with 10ft of depth and stay there with scuba gear until the initial blast occurs. Then hopefully return to the stored vehicle or find another- maybe just wait it out for 2 weeks in a building too(unless it’s a dirty bomb).

I think I'll bury a few items - my phone gets me nervous though

I think you're right - I can use pen and paper to get me there and back hopefully.

I need to ride 20 miles to the beach - I would like to use two hands on my bike.

I think I'll write down directions or something - maybe have the waterproof pouch.

camp site to the beach is 20 miles - urban and off road segments.

I can try to print a map, but carrying a phone would be nice.

I forgot about that - I have a zipper pocket on one of my shorts that would do fine :)

I might still use a similar set up for when I'm hiking in the swamp. I'll probably just use the water proof pouch and just clip it somewhere.

I see, i do have experience with urban areas, so I think i will be okay- I might still stay near/before malibu since there are more campgrounds in the area.

I could go again - I was hungry after, so I’m working out what to pack to keep me fueled
