If you're under 50 miles or the nuke is over 1 megaton......you're screwed. Of course that goes right out the window if it's a pandemic then there is no real safe distance.<br /><br /><br />Dark Slander: Looks like you have a plan going. That's the nice thing about back east is the amount of wild game and those who still trap and live off the land. I would try to hunker down near the ocean or to any major river as well to keep up a constant flow of fresh water (As long as it's not coming from the great lakes which will be pretty contaminated.<br /><br />Jessica: Having a doctor is a major assest to survival in the post apocalypse. If you can't get a doctor a nurse or an emt are good choices.The Razors Edgehttp://www.therazors-edge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282951063086408258.post-45399208868096840572010-03-22T13:00:04.688-07:002010-03-22T13:00:04.688-07:00Great to see this post up.

I've given it some thought already many times actually. <br /><br />For someone like me who likes to fortify and stay put in a relatively safe out of the way locations I've put together a list of some of the people I would like to have on my side.<br /><br />Given my location on eastern Canada there isn't much in the way of experts. Most of our money is generated out west by those working out there and sending it home but we have some industries available which are mostly labor related. <br /><br />My list is mainly:<br />Carpenters/Wood workers: If your fortifying a building these guys are a must. <br /><br />At least one mechanic: you'll need machinery of some sort and it needs up keeping.<br /><br />Some people with hunting/trapping experience: Lots of game here, and additional meat in your diet won't hurt one bit.<br /><br />Some people with agricultural/ gardening experience: Vegetables especially ones easily stored for winter and easily grown will also be great additions to the diet. Especially if your staying in one place far removed from society.<br /><br />These are elite skills but for my basic planning a group of most of these types should be able to function quite happily.Dark Slanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03172464975715236673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282951063086408258.post-32112392312247839912010-03-22T12:05:51.935-07:002010-03-22T12:05:51.935-07:00I live in a relatively small town. Basically, an ...I live in a relatively small town. Basically, an agriculture community. Very few soldiers (vets) live here. We do have fair amount of mechanics. Doctors?...Hmmm, average amount for a town this size, I suppose. We live so close to a big city that manufactures parts for nuclear weapons, it would be one of the major cities to get hit first with a nuclear bomb or something else. In other words, we would likely get wiped off the map before having a chance to organize and survive.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605551857342134163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282951063086408258.post-32309259351257206322010-03-21T18:25:32.013-07:002010-03-21T18:25:32.013-07:00I know a few useful people.

Not as many as I could, however.Jessica Penothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151171434078139270noreply@blogger.com
