I have a whole freezer full of dried out workout powder stuff already. Probably enough to last a whole year for me and my bf. I also have a ton of potato seed tuber things and I’m very good at making bucket potatoes 💅
But yeah idgaf about prepping for this shit if every country gets in on it then its a coin flip if you live or not unless you live in a bunker 24/7. There’s also a very likely chance that society will devolve and re-evolve very quickly by gigantic paramilitary groups forming and duking it out. Anything any one prepper can do in that situation is limited.
The real prepping is getting a bunch of commie friends good at shooting guns
I think everyones misunderstanding my post. This is specifically in relation to a LIMITED regional exchange between India and Pakistan. If theres a global exchange of nukes its entirely different. People dont seem to realize even JUST India and Pakistan doing this and nobody else launching would cause a worldwide famine within weeks.
Hydroponics arent really viable without lots of electricity tho and even solar will be limited by smoke in the upper atmosphere and the power grid will be gone within a few days of nobody maintaining it. The smoke would dissipate and youd be able to grow food normally again within a few years, and until then you’d basically be working as if you were in a colder hardiness zone. You’d have to grow stuff that people north of you would grow normally. Grow plants that do well in shade, and dont mind the cold as much. Scavenge what you can too.
This isn’t really true, hydroponics can be done outside and on windowsills using the Kratky method en masse and for very cheap. I have a small wind power setup that adds light near my windowsill. I live in an apartment and have a little spinny thing outside on the porch, the light is indirect for my potatoes so I really needed something extra and had no power outlets nearby. Micro wind setups suck for powering your whole house but are fantastic for powering low power draw lights in low light areas. I’m high up enough and the little spinny thing connects to a battery, seems to be enough to keep my potatoes happy despite the shade.
The best solution for farming in this situation is obviously to set up a bunch of light towers on nuclear, gas, and wind power but who knows how long itd take for people to catch on to that, sensible governments like China would certainly mobilize this sort of thing and ration energy for it. The massive temperature swings would definitely pick up a lot of wind.
Well the issue is that to do hydroponics in a situation like that your not just powering lights your powering a heater to keep them warm. Since even indoors you want have central heating anymore. Thats a lot of energy idk if a mini wind setup can handle that.
Most cold weather, low power, setups require sunlight for warm, like greenhouses, and who knows how well those will work if theres a lot of smoke in the sky.

Oh yeah thats probably true. Get good at hydroponics. Fun fact you can make your own hydroponics juice with charred wood
