Show Notes
Cal does the podcast he wishes he never had to do: Advice on surviving a nuclear attack. Hopefully, this scenario will never occur. But there have been a great deal of surprises throughout Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and it's wise to take a few moments to think about the unthinkable. This podcast looks at selecting a shelter, at supplies to store, and it offers tips like not going out in the rain for days afterward to avoid radiation that might fall on your head – even if you're hundreds of miles from the blast. And if you're showering to wash away nuclear debris, it's okay to use soap and shampoo – but not hair conditioner. Conditioner will bond radiation particles to your hair. Not a pleasant topic. But you'll be better off for listening.
