Nuclear War Survival Skills
by Cresson H. Kearny
The Live
Saving Skills in this book apply to
Nuclear War, Hurricanes, EarthQuakes,
Blizzards and other
Natural or Man Made Disasters.
When the Jihad SOB's finally detonate a nuke
on
USA Soil and you are watching the mushroom cloud on CNN
Do you want to spill your guts in a
feeling of helplessness and FEAR or do you want to
UNDERSTAND that the radiation PROBABLY WILL NOT affect you and what you can do
to protect yourself and your family if you are close or down wind from the
detonation.
How do I or You know?
A little SIMPLE Education from this book.
Will a Terrorist device has fallout?
Can you Measure it? you can with a tin can, aluminum foil and THIS BOOK.
Can I stay in my house and be safe?
What can I do in my house to protect my family if there is fall out? (its
in the book)
Can I remove Radioactive fallout from drinking water (Yes! Its in the book)
Can I make a shelter before a crisis? Inside? Outside? (Yes! Its in the book)
What am I going to feed my infant baby if the store is out of baby formula (in
the book.)
Q: What do I have to BUY to use the Plans
/ Information in the Book.??
ANSWER: *NOTHING!*
Expedient Civil Defense.
The book is written for the average person with the average items in a
house or apartment. This is called EXPEDIENT CIVIL
DEFENSE. You use what you have to protect and provide for yourself
and family. Everything around you is a resource, you just have to
understand how a bucket, a towel, rocks and clay can filter nuclear fallout out
of water (it does!) and what everything else in your house or residence can
do. That's why this book is good for any disaster, in any big disaster
what is lost is the infrastructure that provides for us. Electricity,
water, communications, sewage, transportation. This book show YOU HOW to
cope and survive with what you have. This book can save your life.
If you just want to give up and die this click on the X and close this
window and go watch TV. You're wasting your time and my bandwidth.
Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL) spent millions of YOUR dollars over a
decade developing this book for its release in the late 1970's. Some of the best
scientists and professional contributed to this book. Everything was
tested and retested. Average families were asked to participate in an
unknown 3 day experiment. They were told nothing about it. When the
experiment started they were told the 'scenario' was that a soviet nuclear
attack was imminent and 'here is this book', read it and act accordingly.
They were documented, observed BUT NOT HELPED as the average family gathered
their necessary items (as described in the book) and evacuated and then made a
shelter to spend 3 days in. Drawings, descriptions, text, items,
everything, was noted improved and then tested again. This is why we know
that this book will work for the average person, someone just did not draw up
some hypothetical plans and publish them. Everything in this book is
tested and proven.
These are photos of some of the test people in the shelters they built.
Chances are that you and I will not have to go this far but you know what, at
least with this book we know how to and we have the information available to us
to do so anytime WE feel it is necessary for the protection of our family.
Well.. you can go dig a hole, I made a shelter inside my basement, a nice little
one called a "Pantry Shelter" and yes, it is described in the book
(not mine, but how to make one.)
A Radiation Meter Made from a Soup Can?? Yes, a
GREAT One.
What is this? This is a soup can, some aluminum foil, a cut out from the
book and some gypsum from drywall and it is a RADIATION METER. It is
called the KFM for the Kearny Fallout Meter. Designed and developed by the
author of this book, Cresson Kearny, this meter is very accurate and will
display the dose of radiation being received. It works on simple
principles of static charge and physics. It is inherently VERY accurate
and does not need calibration. Anyone can build this with items found in
the house or at worse, the grocery store. You just need a razor blade,
some dental floss, aluminum foil, a soup can, tape and a few other misc items
and you can make one. Make one before a crisis, but you can make one while
watching the mushroom cloud on CNN if you want to.
A Book is Only as Good as Its
Author. Cresson Kearny is a Legend, a Man of Excellence and Commitment.
I (Steven Harris) am not just some person selling books. I have worked in the
Civil Defense field as a volunteer for the last 18 years (since I was 16), I am
very proud and deeply honored to of worked with Cresson Kearny, the Author of
this book - Nuclear War Survival Skills, over the last few years. Mr.
Kearny is a dear friend, a teacher, a mentor, a leader and an inspiration in my
civil defense education, experimentation and contribution. Mr. Kearny
is now about 89 years old and still regaling us with stories and his
expertise in the civil defense and military field. I have a life
long commitment to the protection of the American Public and my distribution of
this book is a labor of love and not so much a labor of profit. Funds from
the purchase of this book contribute to my civil defense efforts, the efforts of
those I work with and the efforts of the publisher. the Oregon Institute of
Science and Medicine.

About the Author |
When the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission authorized me in 1964 to initiate the Civil Defense Project at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the first researchers I recruited was Cresson H. Kearny. Most of his life has been preparation, unplanned and planned, for writing this guide to help people unfamiliar with the effects of nuclear weapons improve their chances of surviving a nuclear attack. During the past 15 years he has done an unequaled amount of practical field work on basic survival problems, without always conforming to the changing civil defense doctrine.
After I returned to my professional duties at Princeton in 1966, the civil defense effort at Oak Ridge National Laboratory was first headed by James C. Bresee, and is now headed by Conrad V. Chester. Both have wholeheartedly supported Kearny's down-to- earth research, and Chester was not only a codeveloper of several of the survival items described in this book, but also participated in the planning of the experiments testing them.
Kearny's concern with nuclear war dangers began while he was studying for his degree in civil engineering at Princeton he graduated summa cum laude in 1937. His Princeton studies had already acquainted him with the magnitude of an explosion in which nuclear energy is liberated, then only a theoretical possibility. After winning a Rhodes Scholarship, Kearny earned two degrees in geology at Oxford. Still before the outbreak of World War II, he observed the effective preparations made in England to reduce the effects of aerial attacks. He had a deep aversion to dictatorships, whether from the right or left, and during the Munich crisis he acted as a courier for an underground group helping anti-Nazis escape from Czechoslovakia.
Following graduation from Oxford, Kearny did geological exploration work in the Andes of Peru and in the jungles of Venezuela. He has traveled also in Mexico, China, and the Philippines.
A year before Pearl Harbor, realizing that the United States would soon be at war and that our jungle troops should have at least as good personal equipment, food, and individual medical supplies as do exploration geologists, he quit his job with the Standard Oil Company of Venezuela, returned to the United States, and went on active duty as an infantry reserve lieutenant. Kearny was soon assigned to Panama as the Jungle Experiment Officer of the Panama Mobile Force. In that capacity he was able to improve or invent, and then thoroughly jungle-test, much of the specialized equipment and rations used by our jungle infantrymen in World War II. For this work he was promoted to major and awarded the Legion of Merit.
To take his chances in combat, in 1944 the author volunteered for duty with the Office of Strategic Services. As a demolition specialist helping to limit the Japanese invasion then driving into the wintry mountains of southern China, he saw mass starvation and death first hand. The experiences gained in this capacity also resulted in an increased understanding of both the physical and emotional problems of people whose country is under attack.
Worry about the increasing dangers of nuclear war and America's lack of civil defense caused the author in 1961 to consult Herman Kahn, a leading nuclear strategist. Kahn, who was at that time forming a nonprofit war-research organization, the Hudson Institute, offered him work as a research analyst. Two years of civil defense research in this "think tank" made the author much more knowledgeable of survival problems.
In 1964 he joined the Oak Ridge civil defense project and since then Oak Ridge has been Kearny's base of operations, except for two years during the height of the Vietnam war. For his Vietnam work on combat equipment, and also for his contributions to preparations for improving survivability in the event of a nuclear war, he received the Army's Decoration for Distinguished Civilian Service in 1972.
This book draws extensively on Kearny's understanding of the problems of civil defense acquired as a result of his own field testing of shelters and other survival needs, and also from an intensive study of the serious civil defense preparations undertaken by other countries, including Switzerland, Sweden, the USSR, and China. He initiated and edited the Oak Ridge National Laboratory translations of Soviet civil defense handbooks and of a Chinese manual, and gained additional knowledge from these new sources. Trips to England, Europe, and Israel also expanded his information on survival measures, which contributed to the Nuclear War Survival Skills. However, the book advocates principally those do-it-yourself instructions that field tests have proved to be practical.
