The following is a book published back in 1979 that provides excellent information on the effects of nuclear weapons and offers examples of what an attack would look like. This can be downloaded and viewed offline or read here on the site. Of note is Appendix C – a fictional account of Charlottesville, VA.

I mentioned a few days ago that SP1 over on Youtube has made several videos on preparing for a potential nuclear war – or some type of nuclear emergency. Below are several of these videos. David does a great job presenting this valuable information. You can visit his channel here.
So Arlene asked me what my prediction is regarding Putin and nuclear war. I’ll start by saying that most every prediction I’ve made over the past few decades has been wrong. Oh – I’m glad about that by the way. Predicting the future and what will happen is incredibly difficult as there are so many variables to track and each of those variables influences the outcome of whatever situation we are looking at. So – here I go: Will we have a nuclear war with Russia?
No.
Hopefully, my track record improves a bit with this accurate prediction of what will occur in the future.
No – I do not see Putin launching nuclear weapons at the United States. Mutually assured destruction is a powerful thing and has worked since the Cold War. There are varying reports that what we are all seeing in the media is completely false. Reports of Ukraine holding their own and potentially winning in some cases appear to be completely false. I do not see any path to Ukraine holding off the Russian bear. It’s only a matter of time.
I’m not going to get into whose fault all this is happening. The reality is there simply is nothing that we – you and I can do about it. All we can do is live our lives and prepare accordingly.
It’s a very strange feeling hearing all this talk of nuclear war. I started my interest – my infatuation – with survival and preparedness as a teenager of the Cold War. I read everything I could get my hands on at 14 years old on nuclear war and nuclear war survival. It is so strange that after all these years it has come full circle and here I am again.
So – what now?
I am predicting we will NOT have a nuclear war. Remember my track record of predictions? I may very well be wrong. Maybe there will be a few tactical nukes launched in Europe. Maybe here in the States. Maybe Russia will set off a couple of EMPs.
So – what now?
Prepare.
I’ll be putting out some posts very soon regarding civil defense/nuclear war survival. SouthernPrepper1 on Youtube has made several videos on the subject. Check them out on Youtube. I’ll be posting them here as well. Good stuff.
Stay safe all –

Hello all. This will be a very quick post as I have just seen that potassium iodide – which can HELP protect from the absorption of radiation in certain cases – is selling out everywhere and prices are skyrocketing.
Right now on Amazon, I have found one brand that is available. The dosage is 65mg so you would have to double that to get the recommended dosage for saturating your thyroid. Understand – the consumption of potassium iodide is for short-term events and should be used for an emergency only. Do your due diligence and perform research on why you would take it and when and for how long.
This is the item that is available as of this writing:
Follow this link for more information.
Rourke
Adults over 18 years
2 tablets (whole or crushed) every day (130 mg)
Children over 12 years to 18 years who weigh at least 150 pounds
2 tablets (whole or crushed) every day (130 mg)
Children over 12 years to 18 years who weigh less than 150 pounds
1 tablet (whole or crushed) or 8 teaspoons every day (65 mg)
Children over 3 years to 12 years
1 tablet (whole or crushed) or 8 teaspoons every day (65 mg)
Children over 1 month to 3 years
4 teaspoons every day (32.5 mg)
Babies at birth to 1 month
2 teaspoons every day (16.25 mg)
Tablets can be crushed and mixed in many liquids. To take the tablet in liquid solution, use dosing directions under Making a Potassium Iodide Liquid Mixture.
Take KI every day (every 24 hours) as directed by public officials. Do not take more than 1 dose in 24 hours. More will not help you. Too much medicine may increase the chances of side effects.
1. Put one 65 mg KI tablet into a small bowl and grind it into a fine powder using the back of a metal teaspoon against the inside of the bowl. The powder should not have any large pieces.
2. Add 4 teaspoons of water to the crushed KI powder in the bowl and mix until the KI powder is dissolved in the water.
3. Take the KI water mixture solution made in step 2 and mix it with 4 teaspoons of low fat white or chocolate milk, orange juice, flat soda, raspberry syrup, or infant formula.
4. The KI liquid mixture will keep for up to 7 days in the refrigerator. It is recommended that the KI liquid mixtures be prepared weekly. Throw away unused portions.
The amount of KI (65 mg tablet) in the drink when mixed as described above is 8.125 mg per teaspoon. The number of teaspoons of the drink to give your child depends on your child’s age as described in the following table:
| Child’s Age | Give your child this amount in teaspoons |
| Over 12 to 18 years old who weigh less than 150 pounds | 8 teaspoons will give you a 65 mg dose |
| Over 3 to 12 years old | 8 teaspoons will give you a 65 mg dose |
| Over 1 month to 3 years old | 4 teaspoons will give you a 32.5 mg dose |
| Birth to 1 month | 2 teaspoons will give you a 16.25 mg dose |
Note: This is the amount to give your child for one single dose in teaspoons (not tablespoons). You should give your child one dose each day as recommended by the public officials.
Here is another book that has some great information in it related to nuclear war and preparedness. Back in the 80’s and early 90’s this was the bible of survival when it came to preparing for nuclear war. I have a couple more I’ll share soon.
Take care all –

Throwing these civil defense and nuclear war survival files up for all to download. Traveling this weekend so have just a short time, but, wanted to highlight these and make them easily available. I’ll work on organizing these better and have many more that I will add soon. I’ll update all when I do.
Two books in particular – Nuclear War Survival Skills and Life After Doomsday(out of print)- are fantastic resources.
Here you go:

Rourke: The following post was originally published over at PrepperRalph.com. Consider it a “scenario” post with a possible narrative of events that could transpire should war break out relating to North Korea.
The North Koreans have been on the minds of the US literally for decades. From the first onsets of the Korean War when we were fighting Communism, the remain a credible threat to US interest in the Asian Pacific. Now years after the United States developed and dropped the first atomic weapons the Norks now possess their own. Through economic sanctions around the world, we’ve done our best from allowing nuclear weapons on the peninsula. Whether a failure in diplomacy or plain carelessness, they now have those weapons.
Starting with the creation of an intercontinental ballistic missile program, there has been steady concern that the North Koreans could somehow mount an attack on Pacific US territories. Though for decades that threat remained low and in many cases laughable, they Norks have the capability to not only launch a rocket across the ocean to the US mainland but also to place satellites in orbit. It has gone through many prepper’s minds and surely those of the military that they could have somehow launched a warhead into orbit. They now have a hydrogen bomb that is up to 10 times the power of the ones we dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. So what is in store for the US and a nuclear powered North Korea?
If North Korea does manage to launch an attack and land a bomb on a US territory, you can expect a very swift but diversified response. This would start with the absolute shock and condemnation of the international community. Nations would call for a new series of sanctions or military operations to cut the ability of the Koreans to further attack. Japan, Taiwan, Russia, China, and many other countries would more than likely see this as an immediate threat to their nations. The United States will have scrambled fighters and bombers to begin attack operations throughout the demilitarized zone, and more than likely an army of Norks will have started running towards South Korea.
The following day you would see a dramatic change in the US economy and stock markets. With the declaration of War by the current administration, fuel prices would start to rise again as the American war machine started to move towards the Korean peninsula as well as other commodities. A possible dip in employment rates could also occur. You may see lending practices change in the banking world, construction and infrastructure taking a dip. Silver prices would surge as would gold and other precious metals. US debt would also start to increase faster as the buying of munitions and equipment goes into full swing.
As the North Koreans continue to be bombarded by the American and South Korean air forces, their Armies would continue to flood south towards Seoul, ultimately taking most of the city. There would be large amounts of urban combat and many thousands of civilian deaths. Bodies, debris, and litter would cover the streets and the people fled the city. The American base nearby, as well as the naval ports, would be areas of high contention. If we can’t fly in or set anchor, that would limit the US response initially.
Russia may start air sorties into the northern parts of the country with China possibly assisting. Iran, one of the Norks closest allies would more than likely stage an attack on nearby US allies. Israel may take this time to attack neighboring areas and reclaim Biblical lands. If Jerusalem was not nuked by Iran initially, they surely have been by now. Britain, France, Germany, and a host of other countries then start jumping into the fight.
India may take this time to start an invasion of Pakistan. With Pakistan’s country threatened by an Indian incursion, they’ll use their own nuclear weapons to launch on India pulling the US into a three-sided war. Russian cooperation with the US on the Korean peninsula would cease as many of their largest buyers are now fighting on multiple fronts. Australia joins the mix as allies of the US and Britain. Many middle-eastern countries, on the heels of Israel’s attacks, may take this time forge a new Caliphate and become united. There is now World War within weeks of North Korea’s initial attack.
The average US household continues with their usual day-to-day activities… Except half the 18-30 population has begun to be drafted. The further downturn in the markets closes business doors as skilled workers are pressed into military service.
Unemployment at home continues to rise. Eventually, it will slow and employment rates will increase with the sustained war effort. Corporations buy huge tracts of American land for its resources to continue the war effort. The world as we know it is quickly changing. Allegiances on both sides of the war change and morph as territory, munitions, and souls are traded for the insatiable appetite of war.
But then again… Maybe we come to terms with a nuclear North Korea. South Korea decides to join the North and unite the nations under special agreements. Facing an enemy that can kill most of its population in a matter of minutes, what choice will it have had?
This is just a scenario that could play out easily in many many ways. The truth is that no one knows what will happen. We may wake up tomorrow and face a radioactive Guam, or new, tighter sanctions causing the Norks to abandon their current programs for the time being. No one knows…
What do you think will happen?
There is a tremendous amount of activity going on involving Russia, China, Syria, and the United States. I am no expert on all of these current events so feel free to chime in with more information.
This is not paranoia and things are happening fast. The United States government appears to be preparing for conflict with Russia. War? Possibly.
A lot is going on and things are happening fast and tensions are building. I am not hearing a lot about these events in the mainstream media and folks I have asked about current events discount all of it as “nothing”. Hopefully they are right.
Here are a few news stories to read:
CIA Preparing for Possible Cyber Attack Against Russia
DEFCON Level Raised to DEFCON 3
7 Ways Russia Is Telling It’s People to Prepare for War
Russia Slams Washington Over Cyber Attack Threat
Although I have been doing a lot of research the following video’s from SouthernPrepper1 and Pastor Joe summarize things quite well……..

As quickly as possible I will create an area on this site dedicated to nuclear war survival.
I feel like I am back in the early 80’s.
