Radiation Detectors

[Hobbes]

Who has one? What kind? ....

From what I've read so far it seems you need at least 2.
You need a high level detector that can tell you if you are in a hot zone.
You need a low level detector that indicates lower levels that are hazardous over long periods of time.

I don't really need one I suppose but I've always wanted one since I was a kid.

It's called a geiger counter. If you need one, you're too close to the problem, and too late to get away.

I don't need one. I want one.

I recently found a ad in the CL barter section with US Gvt Geiger counters in Seminole. We e-mailed a bit, but I passed on trading one of my Guitars for one. They would have needed calibration, which would have meant shipping and calibration cost. I referred him to Shane at KI4U.com.
You can also build your own DIY fallout meter with plans found in "Nuclear War Survival Skills" at oism.org/nwss.
