- What if the coldest winter wasn't one nature made, but one we created? Nearly 74,000 years ago, Earth faced a "nuclear winter" due to the colossal Toba super-eruption, almost erasing humanity. But what if history repeats itself, not by natural causes, but by our own hands? "Can You Survive Nuclear Winter?" explores this chilling possibility.
We delve into the heart of humanity's darkest creation, the nuclear arsenal, from the United States' Cold War strategies to the staggering global stockpile of warheads. With over 2,475 nuclear detonations already witnessed, we stand on the brink of potential self-destruction. But it's not just the size of the bombs that should worry us-it's their number.
Our journey through the grim prospect of a nuclear winter sheds light on the severe, earth-cooling aftermath that could follow a major nuclear conflict. From disrupted climates to the decimation of food supplies, the impacts are terrifying. And while Switzerland's readiness with fallout shelters is unmatched, it brings us to a stark reality: survival is about more than withstanding the initial blast.
Understanding the rule of threes in survival-air, shelter, water, and food-becomes more crucial than ever in a nuclear winter. But as we ponder these survival tactics, we must ask: Can humanity endure another nuclear winter, especially one of our own making? The video invites viewers to reflect on our precarious existence and the power we hold to shape the future of our planet.

Bro, I'm barely surviving normal winter.
XD me too dude
Amen, Exactly, Because we are still Not having Enough of the Global Warming .
And I need tp panic buy toilet roll for that! lol
better question is would you even want to
Yes I would want to survive a nuclear winter… life is not just short but it’s fragile people take life for granted life for me would still be worth living even after a nuclear ☢️ war breaks out resulting in a nuclear winter that will last several decades blocking out the sun ☀️ light I refuse to give up on life.
Where we stand is not destroyed we are not in ruins but in something waiting to be built waiting to begin again from these ashes we can rise and create beauty. The crumbling walls are not a representation of our failures but a reminder of the lessons we have learned so we continue on not because we want to but because we have to.
I wouldn't 😢
Weither.
@G-Man-half-life
You'd want to survive
Unfortunately
After a global thermal nuclear war
D+1,2,3,4 etc
D = Detonation day
The "Days after" the 1st wave of strikes,
Life on Earth would be wiped away.
Radiation isn't like a bad snow storm !!!
It seeps into everything
Including -
the planet's water system
And
The amazon rainforest would simply rot away..

*ON THE 8TH DAY*
May Sense and sensibility
Lead and prevail
As a kid in the 70s and 80s I used to obsess over the thought of nuclear war, now I'm just too old to care
Same a local chemical factory caught fire in the mid 80's and the air raid sirens kicked off. My mum said she couldn't catch me to calm me down. I do blame her for answering my young inquisitive mind question truthfully. And then showing me, When the wind blows and Threads! Like you said I have more things to worry about now and if it happens I want to be under it.
Me, too!
I am too, but it's not meant that I don't care or thinking about next generation's.
I understand some leaders who lifted themselves above all others as global leaders don't care about it,
because they failed with absolutely everything trying to get control over most possible recourses, making them so desperate.
Because they have been obsessed about leading a global order past 30 years, and when they're wet dreams of New world order failed.
It's looking like they care about what they are pushing for,
their dreams and plan got destroyed.
They are not able to admit that they did a terrible choice trying to control the world 🌎
And they don't care or don't want to living with it,
So they choose getting the globe destroyed 😢
Power, and do anything for more power are making some sick minds.
It's scary when you know it's enough with one dementia leader to destroying the globe 🌎
That's really sick, not much hope for the globe with a system like that.
Globalist elite's have failed, they refuse to accept that.
That's dangerously...
If it helps us get closer to Jesus
I will catch them....lol
YOU ALL FU**K CRAZY
Swiss- go to your shelter. US - sit under your desk.

@@YtRingster The trick is to get to the bridge early. Because if you leave it too long then there'll be a huge pile of bodies at the base which will cushion your landing
I have a tendency to store food that easily lasts me for six to ten months, but I am worried about water and clean air lol!

@peachesrambo4037
During the one time that a global nuclear war seemed imminent, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, events moved too quickly for any civil defence measures to be activated.
In other words....
If a air attack was launched!!
You wouldn't be made aware of it !!
Until - FLASH
Why ? Do you think that the UK Governments centra bunker Corsham
Was decommissioned ?
Because as soon as the Hydrogen bombs was tested, it was realised that there was absolutely no chance of hiding/ surviving a global thermal nuclear war ..
There are missiles designed to 1st penertrate deep below the earths surface.
And then detonate!!!??
Bunker busters they are called .
I think we often forget that a nuclear exchange is not necessarily the end of a war. The conflict might continue between nations with traditional weaponanry. The fallout might be just one of many hazards to avoid until a ceasefire is declared.
It really depends on how many bombs and their kilotons that are dropped. You could likely end humidity with just over 10 super nukes. There really no point fighting any wars because we pretty much wiped out humanity. The atmospheric poisoning from the fallout would likely end most of us. A few people might survive but the next war will be fought with sticks and stones.
@@carmattvidz4426that’s not true
@@faithphillips4703 well can you explain to me why i am wrong?
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones".

"Einstein said we'd use rocks on the other side! No survivors!"
There is no place, that Einstein said that.
@@edtizzard8064 but we like to think he did! Plus, it's true. After a WWIII scenario, we're back to zilch.
After www 3 will there really be a www 4 .
The psychological trauma experienced by those that might survive the initial nuclear exchange would be so deep, most of them would envy the dead and wish to join them.
Those people in the fallout shelter will probably kill each other.
99% of the radiation goes away after 2 days. The really radioactive stuff decays. Even 24 hours is 90%. Unless they purposely add cobalt or something.
True… the real problem are the “unprepared”. I’ve been a prepper for two years now. Buried and hid most of my food and preps… the last thing I want is to alert deadbeat relatives and ex friends
@@JenniferA886 Do you think it's really going to happen?
@@splinterbyrd I live on a remote farm in NZ… we has a bad tropical cyclone here, and relatively “normal” people I knew went crazy when they were with out food for just two days. The government was great… but it took time to reach everyone. So yes, I do believe it can happen
@@splinterbyrdit's not so much "how likely is X to occur" general prepping is just an intelligent thing to do considering emergencies and disasters happen frequently. Earthquakes, floods, fires, the list goes on. Many people have never seen or experienced true emergencies, help has always been close, food was 2 minutes away, and the water always ran. Or they could hop in their car and go to a friend's for a couple days, come home, throw out the spoiled food, and buy more.
In a real emergency or disaster there will be 10's of thousands of not more people and not all can be helped or even reached for days or weeks. Or just look at how some places fared during the lockdown insanity. No formula for your infant or even diapers? And they got off relatively easy.
Prepping isn't about the low probability/extreme impact events. Sure it's good to have some preparedness in mind for them, look past your normalcy bias. But mostly it's about the high probability/med to high impact events.
A nuclear war would result in the extinction of human beings as a species. Preppers are living in denial.
After seeing this I am going to start preparing in the event the worst happens.you now have a lot of unhinged people with their finger on the bottom and it only takes one to start a chain reaction.😢
Hey I survived 2 ex wives, I think all of this is a walk in the park or a quick and painless death. Either way it would have been all happy go lucky till the moment of the event.
😁🫡

Wait till ur next ex wife
@@luisfernando5998 continues hunt for the next ex..😂
I learned my life lesson after my only divorce, & NEVER again!
I was married for a decade. We would have split up sooner, but neither one of us wanted the kids!
Underground bunkers ...shelters are fine if your young and healthy......im old and tired...lol
I will trust God above all else ❤
There is no reason to believe a god(s) exist, so you are trusting nothing.
You've touched on the essential truth. The old and the very young won't survive.
True dat bro
God helps those who help themselves.
@edtizzard8064 Please provide admissible evidence sufficient to carry a clear & convincing burden of proof standard that: (1) god or gods exist, (2) which god(s) exist, (3) what they do & (4) they help those helping themselves. Until then, nobody has a rational reason to believe you.
What we do know is that people who "help themselves" have better outcomes than those that don't based solely the fact they undertook efforts to improve their outcomes & no evidence exists that any gods exist or impacted the situation.
I've played Fallout 3 like a dozen times by now. I got hundreds of bottle caps and super glue.. I'm pretty sure thats all it takes to survive WW3.. (maybe some rail road spikes too, i'll start pullin sum up at the tracks behind my house)
You need to get out more
Your going to need more than that to take down an Yao Gui!!
Add some duct tape and you are good to go. Have a blast.
Dude same
don’t forget the metro series as well🫡, stalker could get a nice little addition even though it’s different than a nuclear war, rather just the meltdown of chernobyl
In case of accidental nuclear war I'll look at CZcams videos for survival tips during nuclear winter.
I don’t think CZcams will be available at the moment 😂
Lol i doubt if the internet will even work. So all btc holders are fucked
@@discussanything9742: So all btc holders are fucked ?
NOooooooo !
You tgink we would have a power grid after multiple bombs and firestorms? Lol
What this tells us is that mutually assured destruction does not require penetrating your enemy's defenses. A superpower could simply destroy itself, and all civilization would go down with it.
The better question is this.. Would you really want to? I've actually considered myself fortunate growing up in Houston that we'd be very close to the potential epicenter.. It are the suvivors of the nuclear fallout who truly will be in a living hell, or "winter"...
I certainly wouldn't. Heck, I'm already suicidal and suffering from depression now and I live on a beautiful planet. Why would I want to live in a world that's like in Cormac McCarthy's "The Road"? No thanks.
Yes I would because I value my life.

Like on the Titanic. Raid the stores for the best cigars and alcohols
And listening to Beethoven's 7th symphony 2nd movement. A good tune for the end of the world.
First things first survive the first two weeks after the attack. Where your isolation is imperative to not breath the dust etc.
We know what the affects ans out comes of nuclear war are, so why are we having these discussions again? Any public officials that discuss the use nukes as an option need to be removed from office!
Well there about to launch them at the moon 4/8/24 😅
It's trying to comunicate.....
Most of the deadly radiation is gone after 4 weeks. You only need to hide for 1 month indoors or preferably underground.
People will be the biggest threat after a week of the bombs dropping and as time progresses it would get worse as people become more desperate. Desperation, famine and disease would be your biggest concerns.
There does seem to be a lot of people living in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
@@goranmiljus2664 Exactly.
A single bomb is gone after roughly 4 weeks. No way only 1 or 2 gets sent. Expect hundreds or even thousands of nukes sent and prepare to be underground for years. Billions of people will die along with 99% of plant and wildlife.
@@goranmiljus2664except one nuke these days is as powerful as 80 that were dropped on Japan. So I hate to tell you…. But not a single person will survive a modern nuclear war.
@@animegeek6118 Most leaders would chicken out. Likely scenario is a couple nations use tactical nukes then everyone looks around the table sweating calling for calm.
9:36 Without looking it up, I think you mean 12kt and not Mt of TNT. A 12Mt nuclear bomb would create a fireball bigger than 2km in diameter, vaporising your bunker 700m away
High yield thermonuclear weapons emit less fallout than atomic weapons since they are powerful enough to send the radiation high enough into the atmosphere so that most of it doesn’t come back down. At most you’d have to remain for 2 weeks in a shelter but after that the fallout radiation will have returned to safe levels. Though you then have the prospect of nuclear winter.
Survive? Yes. But would that really be "living"?
Just what we would witness - see, hear, smell, taste.
in the Aftermath
Would drive us insane 😱
only the weak@@grahamfisher5436
That's why is called "surviving".
people who live in war torn countries are surviving. maybe those born after the war, will start living.
Yes, we would get to rebuild.
I would love the freedom to build and live any way I see fit and be fully in control of my life. I think that I will adapt very well.
I have turned prepping into my hobbye...after several years taking something every month I feel satisfied , unlike others I would try to survive and make my children survive by any means possible...I also have some other plans in mind
personally I like the Poseidon. 1 mile high wall of water.
This is an amazingly informative and accurate video, but I have a few questions: 1) How would I find a non-radioactive place? Is there some type of instrument that I can buy? 2) If one builds a fall out shelter, how far down should it be dug down in order to survive? 3) How does one clean water in a nuclear event? 4) Did I hear you right, nuclear winter would last TEN YEARS? So solar power would be obsolete then right? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
1., personal dose - meter - this is for you and scouting radiation meter - this is for an enviroment, to figure out if its radioactive or not
2., you need to be covered with heavy material - soil or concrete or bricks - 1 meter has reduction factor 1000.
3., you will filter water through cloth - stones - CLEAN SOIL - cloth - but this is for radioactivity only, you need to boil water to kill biological hazard - usual stuff such as germs - and chemically purify water with bleach/chlorine solution.
4., they will not be obsolete after 10 years, but at that time you will have no use for them, or sooner
I Survive the last one. Man it got so bad we had too eat our neighbors. 😂😂
Too hot, too cold, you lot are never happy!
The dinosaurs didn't survive something similar which included the collapse of the entire food chain, so I'd say, "No"
Because they didn't have what is called the 'human brain'
The dinosaurs are not humans and some dinosaurs did survive. I would rather live because I value my life. An asteroid and thousands of thermonuclear warheads are two completely different things.
One is called an impact winter and the other one is a nuclear winter. It also goes through different processes with different outcomes. Unlike the asteroid a nuclear attack would leave behind lingering radiation. There is plenty of things I could add.
Well i would like to have a link to JSTOR or whatever of those articles and rapports mentioned in the video
Of course i can. Theres gonna be so much good stuff just lying around because the vast majority are gonna panic and die.
Short answer is no. One nuclear sub carries an “official” 20 nuclear warheads probably more (up to 80 I think). No win for anyone. We’re all screwed if this happens and the bunkers we have won’t survive also sorry to say.
Generally Speaking:
Small Chances!
Women on submarines?
I wouldn't want to thanks!!!!
depends how quickly gangs and bands form so to gain control over an immediate area for the purpose of scavenging, pillaging, and self preservation
You know that will happen almost immediately. The raiders and scavengers will come out first them years later you have to deal with the feral ghouls and super mutants.
I think it's the low yield harvest presents the biggest challenge. But a lot of bombs would need to go off for it to be bad enough.
So many simulations show "all out" war with bombs going everywhere. There are potential and realistic scenarios where far fewer go off and so not civilisation ending.
very helpful,in this times...
SIOP huh.. sounds about right
This explains why every Swiss home has guns but there are zero mass shootings, and little gun violence.
I wonder, does other developed life forms with the knowledge to destroy themselves, watch videos like this, or even think of pushing a button and living through a total hell?
Food wouldn’t become scarce only on the fact that millions of people would be killed in the nuclear attacks, it’s a really sad thing but whatever remains of the United States government would be able to ration out more food than most people would need because of the decline of demand from such a heavy loss on population
Everything and I mean about 98% of our wildlife food source would be contaminated with Radiation. The amount of population of humans isn’t the problem, it’s finding clean, wildlife to cook. And you can’t just cook radiation of out of meat. Doesn’t work
And what about all the destroyed infrastructure? How the hell is food going to be farmed, let alone transported and distributed.
@@slooob23 left over food will be enough to hopefully endure the rebuilding of a broken country
@@Monk36 I like your optimism
@@slooob23 i believe in America and the human spirit to rebuild
Humanity is just about arrogant and dumb enough to make it happen.
I remember playing the Metro games on Xbox... I guess its prepared me other than there being no monsters in a nuclear winter
In war game , neither side wins
No place to hide
No, but all sides lose. Opposite of capitalism
Yes!
As a Balkan, we have no news for any nuclear war/winter.
You got this
Not only a decade long winter but know one really knows how many years before you can even walk on a nuclear waste land after the war because the nuclear test sight and the atomic bomb sight.. No one still can't set foot on that land because of high radiation .. and how many years has it been??? And all people can do is leave way before it ever happens....
WW3 will end humanity as we know it..
humans can't survive a nuclear nightmare scenario like this 😞
Many would now by air burst meaning far less dust, but anyway some modern study's say the would not be a winter
If you are infact live after a near world ending exchange. Surviving wont be the hard part. Not going insane would probably be harder.
My plan is just keep a big stash of bottle caps. I will be able to buy all the clean water and food i need with those caps. The first thing i would do after a bomb was dropped is find a Germen Shepherd to be my companion. I also play these songs to past the time. The first is by Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World and the second is I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire by Ink Spot.
Crawl out through the fallout isn't a bad tune either
@@slooob23 I like that one too :)
Up to you, .
What is there to live for? If its total destruction? To just survive to be alone if not alone you will still be surrounded by loved ones and friends passing.. mental state will effect survival on itself..overall no one gets away from it

"The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five."-Carl Sagan & Carl Saga also said that if 50 nuclear bombs were denotated in one day, the world would face a Nuclear Winter which would probably cause extinction of most life on Earth. A sneak first strike attack that would make retaliation impossible, would probably destroy all life in both the attacking country and the attacked country.
We need a bunker of course we need a hydro farmers and engineers, doctors more supplies to make a survival possible.
I take it

What does the rule of 3 have to do with surviving a nuclear winter? When crops can't be grown for years because of the intense cold, make sure you store 3 years worth of food?
We're about to find out.
well at least if you can get through it, you dont have to worry about washington any more. that's a real plus.
Survive hell nah it would be a constant look out for cannibals and gangs of savages, you would have to join a group or gang to survive no single person could survive
Switzerland may be the safest country in the Northern Hemisphere to be in during a nuclear war. But anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere would be better, due to the Coriolis Effect, which will keep all fallout produced in the Northern Hemisphere north of the Equator, where it belongs.
You can but you wouldn’t want to!
Every time I hear pootin talk about nuclear bombs. I say I’m ready for the nuclear winter it’ll be better than the weather were experiencing right now, with all the tornadoes.
Just curious does anyone know what the most powerful operational nuke each country has.
I know in the US its currently the B-83 which can be dialed up to 1.2 Megatons, but the most powerful was the B-41 with 25 megatons
Now for Russia or the USSR, everyone says its the Tsar bomb, but thats just a test unit, it was never an operational weapon. So what is the most powerful operational weapon
They don't use high yield any more, they basically fire nuclear cluster bombs that hit a target with multiple smaller yield warheads. Does more damage per missile that way.
Save Our Planet Now!
If you survive the nuclear blasts, you must stay for a decade in your bunker to survive the nuclear winter. Impossible to store that much food and fuel. Best to be on ground zero of the blast. Instant vaporised 😅

If the consciousness of a person is transferred into another living creature after death - which to me constitutes a proven fact -, it will have to appear as an especially appalling scenario that many could have to face a future of such a sort without human biology as a basis. My impression is that it could help in averting a nuclear catastrophe if this possibility was focused on in the media.
