A well is a good thing to have, in a nuclear scenario a DEEP well is even better.

Just some quick review for an end-of-the-world nuclear situation:

-There are a bunch of old or current missile silos located between Montana and both Dakotas. Expect heavy ground bursts in this line which will produce the worst fallout. Sometimes that cabin in the woods isn't the best idea, depending on where its located. Expect the heavy bomber bases (Minot, Whiteman, Ellsworth, Dyess, Barksdale) to get their fair share of the mayhem, although we're talking more about air bursts. If you can recognize any of those names above, you're probably in a bad spot.

Likewise, it will be a good idea to steer clear of Seattle and the Georgia/Florida state line- the rough locations of the SSBN bases.

-Fallout. Learn about it BEFORE you have to deal with it. I'm not being obtuse about what I'm NOT including in this post. Its up to YOU to get educated and save your ### if its possible.

Fallout from the missile fields will be bad. Fallout from the cities will be almost as bad. The really bad news is that fallout is very random, it depends on what type of explosion produced it along with wind and weather patterns.
For the most part, if you were born during or after the 1990's, take everything you KNOW about nuclear warfare and throw it in a trash can. This won't be a game or a movie.

-Learn how to do for yourself. Assuming that you survived, there will be 10 million other more important things to get worked on before anyone will be able to help you with your problems.

If you are weak with the basics of first aid, NOW is the time to learn. Having a Geiger counter and iodine pills is worthless if you don't know how or when to use them. Having a first aid kit is worthless if you don't know what you're doing.

-Learn how to do with others. Seriously, your odds of survival are really slim if you can't or won't work with others. There's NOTHING to win in this situation, you just want to make it to the next sunrise. Doing that on your own is virtually impossible.
