Honestly, I live in a tiny town none of you have ever heard of, faaar away from anything worth nuking. On top of that, it's shielded by mountains on most sides. Hell, there's a 15km long tunnell 5 minute walk from my house in case we need to shelter somewhere. Me and mine will probably be fine, but my livelihood will disappear.

But I'm a pretty handy guy who can probably build a decent power source from scrap I have in my basement considering there's a river nearby, so even if the rest of the world goes to hell, we'll manage to keep some sort of society running.

And I grew up on a farm, and could run one if needed. And there are quite a few farms in the area, so I guess being a farmhand will be my new career. I wouldn't like it, but I'd manage.

Sucks that I wouldn't be able to shitpost about it, though.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I have considered buying an emergency generator for unrelated reasons. I guess that could come in handy.

    Are you really ready to farm enough food for your community without globalization?

    Yeah, seriously. I recommend everyone check out the following sites to see how prepared they really are.

    The original commenter added an edit suggesting they will buy a back-up generator, but I should remind those reading, that this would require petroleum refinement, storage methods, and possibly even obtaining shipping routes to sustain power generation.
