I really am tired of my tech career, and don't think I would mind trying to learn subsistence farming whilst trying to avoid radiation poisoning.

For more information, please consult "Nuclear War Survival Skills" by Cresson H. Kearny.

Also, FTA: "The Robock group’s models are probably overestimating the risk [of nuclear winter]." Citation needed, maybe?

Well the good news is that you can start right now and don't even have to deal with radiation poisoning.

PDF version is free online too. https://www.oism.org/nwss/ :)

The citation for "The Robock group’s models are probably overestimating the risk [of nuclear winter]." are the Reisner et al. articles I linked. My conclusion is just my opinion after reading the back and forth in the literature, but I encourage other people to go through it and come to their own conclusions!
