How to Survive a Nuclear Apocalypse (Probably Not)

How to survive a nuclear apocalypse? Well, short of building a bunker in Antarctica, your chances are slim. But here are some tips that might help you last a few extra minutes:

  • How to find a fallout shelter: Good luck with that. There aren’t enough fallout shelters to go around.
  • How to purify water: Boiling is a good start, but you'll need more than that.
  • How to grow your own food: Learn gardening, fast. Potatoes are your new best friend.
  • How to build a fallout shelter: If you have the time and resources, go for it. But don’t count on it.
  • How to maintain your sanity: Stock up on your favorite binge-watching shows.

Remember, this is all hypothetical. Let’s hope we never have to find out if these tips actually work.
