About this listen
How is this possible? A highly overlooked defense against radiation is distance. Basically, if you can get inside away from the radiation outside, the dose you will be exposed to will be around half. This is why you’re told to get into the center of a building. If the radiation level is low enough, even sheltering in the center of a joisted masonry or wood framed slab on grade house can be effective.
Major cities with metropolitan populations of one million or more are the likely targets for nuclear weapons. The good news is that radioactive nuclear fallout isn’t likely to be as widespread or intense as popular media and culture portrays it to be, or outdated civil defense documents show, this book could encourage and ensure millions to survive.
Surviving a nuclear attack doesn’t have to be a matter of luck. Learn:
—What likely nuclear targets are how to calculate your risk.
—The kinds of nuclear weapons that might be used and the damage they may cause.
—How to take advantage of the inverse square law.
—How to turn household items into radiation shielding.
—Tips to make your basement a better shelter.
—Why radiation exposure may not be a death sentence.
This book answers a lot of the questions you may have about nuclear war but not know to ask. In it, fears are reassured and myths dismissed. Don’t rely on Hollywood’s version of nuclear war, but get the truth.

The western world is devolving into war, hyperinflation, and socio-political chaos making preparation for post-SHTF survival more fraught than ever for suburbanites. Not all of us are fortunate enough to live in rural areas or have bug-out cabins in remote mountains. The majority of the population will have to survive, and fight, where they are in cities big and small. Rather than give it up for lost, this book provides analysis of the uncertain urban world to come and how to navigate its dangers. Civil war is an unpleasant almost certainty. Average citizens will be called to take up the ...

As America stands at the precipice of famine, political instability, a financial disaster, domestic conflict, and even a civil war, preparing one’s home and family are now a matter of survival. Contrary to the popular belief that rural living will allow a prepared individual to ride out the storm unscathed, lessons from history show us that those outside of cities will face similar threats to their suburban compatriots. Rural and remote homesteads and properties can be easily attacked by a superior force utilizing the same isolation that the owner sought. Getting out of the cities is a ...
