There was a day during the Cuban missile crisis when the world really thought we'd had it.............I went into London and walked around, thinking at least it'll be quick.
The place was very quiet.....

I think it's going to happen sooner or later, so tomorrow is as good a time as any. I'm down to my last tin of beans anyway. 5mith

It mentioned storing canned foods as much water as you could collect before the ash fell (usually several hours) seal all windows with tape to keep the ash out. As soon as the flash occurs close your eyes(and kiss your arseee goodbye) and fall to the floor feet towards flash. best place is under stairs. Do not go outside. eat all fresh provisions first but dont ration , drink only from water within your house and close mains stoptap. ration only water. do not drink rain water. stored drinking water in cistern tanks etc should last several weeks if covered, throw waste outside house do not keep inside even if its airtight. . (It then said refer now to the' preppers guide' for food to be stored) ie dried fruit and veg, torch, transistor radio with plenty of batteries.and tune to the 'home service' for when its clear to go outside.
Am guessing most of this still applies now.?
And they had jolly little public service films too.

With regards home grown vegetables...maybe as a small extra, it will not sustain a family I believe.
Anyway..I found a emp resistant radio
