Now that the military stuff is mostly gone, I am not sure where Sacto is at on the threat list. So my hope is that I am at home when SHTF... I am 40 miles out of town in the mountains and should be fairly shielded from even a significant event. Ready to Bug TFO in an hour or less if needed (provided I have an hour) as well.

I grew up in Sacramento, obviously you're old enough to know what a Sac base is, which is why I grew up there... I had one of those old clock radios, dropped it on accident and miraculously was able to listen to McClellan tower at about 120Mhz.

Destroy your enemies before they destroy you, Russia is gaining on us and they know it, they taunt the US government and authority a lot these days, they want war and we don't. they are prepared and we are not

I prepared for nuclear war by being within 90 miles of Chernobyl for three and a half years after it blew. I glow in the dark now, maybe it's time for a recharge.

I'm 35 miles. We will both get a great tan.

do not forget they exploded like over 300 bombs outside of Las Vegas and its still there. Sure a lot were under ground but a lot were not. They built some motels just for viewing the bombs. They exploded one in Mississippi I have been to the site you would not know by looking at the site.

Kinda off topic, but if I only have $15k to blow...

I still visit McClellan and Mather a fair bit... VA clinics at both.
I can still visualize where that B-52 crashed at the end of the runway at Mather back in the day.
My FIL was a B-52 fire control troop there in the 70's.
My brother worked on AWACS and F-111's at McClellan as a civilian.
I flew in and out of both when on C-141's.

If for some insane reason nuclear warheads are used/launched and all targeted areas of a specific country are hit, it doesn't really matter where you are, what supplies you have, for whatever length of time you think you can survive in your retreat/bunker/home, you will not survive for any significant period of time. Most likely you will die a painful death due to radiation exposure or a nuclear winter. Everyone loses. Dream, hope, pray, all you want.... no one will survive for any significant period of time.
