Now we're getting down to how to survive the nuclear apocalypse.

Good suggestions so far, this thread is really going places.

Interesting question would be even during the Cuban missile crisis - how many people had Iodine pills for treatment of radiation exposure?

Me and the OP are gonna hook-up, go for a nice walk on the beach, step on some pissy clams, and rub suntan lotion all over each others assy nipples!

Yes blue ringed octopii haven’t lived up to their reputation seeing they are often used as play toys by backpackers...

Had a friend there that squatted behind a tree and got nailed on the pecker by a large centipede... a painful story to hear much less experience...

Forgot about the Iriqanji jellies - the natural definition of assisted suicide...

Stonefish and snakes so common they are practically ignored... don’t forget the stingrays - never heard a grown man scream as much as one I saw got nailed by one in his leg...

I think you get admitted to the emergency department after customs on arrival...

yah
my younger brother copped a stingray barb in the hand when he was fishing ,
it looked from my perspective to be nothing short of bloody painful.

No wonder it was a prison..
 
A British friend of a relative went to Australia some years ago and got asked at immigration if he had a criminal record, he said he didn’t think you still needed one to get in. They detained him at the airport for two days...
 
From a surviving a nuclear apocalypse perspective ,
if all the various life forms don't mutate into bigger and nastier variations
and you are prepared to wander the wasteland in search of gasoline wearing
some form of strange garb then Australia is actually a good option.
there is a low amount of strategic targets for one
and the distance from any other major continental mass makes the odds of an
visiting party of other survivors rather low.
(the sharks and crocodiles will probably thin the numbers for you anyways if they even survive Paupa New Guinea or the Timor strait).

At last year's ISA conference there was a guy from Australia talking about fatalities caused by trees and public perception. (The data in Australia basically says you aren't gonna get killed by a tree randomly falling (he eliminated fire line deaths and tree worker deaths - focusing on trees just falling and killing people), but that people are still afraid - 1:5,000,000 chance). For perspective he also talked about all of the scary animals then showed a graphic of the most deadly (1:830,000 chance of being killed by an animal, so much more dangerous than trees).

From the talk (https://eventmobi.com/isa2018/agenda/306203/1517564)
venomous snakes only accounted for 1.5 deaths/year
honey bees cause 1.7 deaths/year.
The three animals in Australia that caused the most fatalities were horses, cattle, and dogs - combined for 14.4 deaths a year (three times the number of deaths from Tree Failure).

Yeah, I think Australia is a bit like the deep south here... lots of fat 'gators and crocs... lots of missing people and tourists... not much reporting going on.

Wifey: "Why does this suntan lotion smell like bacon?"
Hubby: "New scent the marketing guys came up with, I guess. Don't worry about it, dear... just sit here by the river and enjoy the sunshine... I'll be in the car."
 
Seems generic that future survivors dress in Pimped Out styles, could be the opportunity of a post nuke lifetime to dominate the clothing supplier market if ready to fill the hole in that market... kosher meat is another high demand market worth considering...
