So what preps do you keep on hand that would be especially valuable in the event of a nuclear problem? What do you want to add?
(Yes, I am a bit nuke obsessed this week, was a year ago too but now it is back).
I currently have...
-- 1 packet of KI (that nobody in the house needs since we are "mature")
-- 112 doses of calcium phosphate
-- 3m full face respirator with a couple of different filters (left over from the Ebola scare)
-- Two cheap Tyvec suits (also from the Ebola panic)
I seal most of the windows up with plastic shrink wrap in the winter to prevent drafts, all things considered I think I will leave that up a few more weeks "just in case". Course if something happened in the summer I don't know what we would do since we have to shelter in the house, ain't no way we could survive the heat with the windows closed up for days on end. That is one good reason to have an underground shelter, just for climate control if nothing else, but we don't have one.
As far as preps to add, I definitely need more water, have to pick up a couple of containers. Maybe some more calcium and some bentonite clay too.
Oh and I have a list of radiation symptoms by level taped up in the storage room. I figure if the shtf and panic sets in being able to guesstimate if we are likely to get sick (and have a reference handy) will create peace of mind (or not, depending).
