Protect and Survive - What To Put In Your Fallout Room

[shyshutterbug]

No tampons? Now THAT would suck.

[NUFC2010100]

Yes. In the event of a nuclear war I wouldn't want to forget my cutlery and crockery.

[Potionette81]

I'm sure I remember hearing the narrator's voice on 'Two Tribes' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, saying something like 'Mine is the last voice that you will ever hear'. Or am I mistaken?

[wenger1972]

@Potionette81 YEp its the same guy. His name is or was Patrick Allen.

[DrMarcusKane]

@wenger1972 He sounds a bit like Peter Dickson, that voice over man on X Factor! Imagine these being remade today . . . "It's time to Face The FALL-OOOUUTT!!"

[MrDevilzman666]

They miss some thing,that is:Lincoln's Repeater,Shishkebab,Vault 101 Assault(IDK its name),Stimpaks,and some Mentats....

[jasonpatchett1]

Nuclear war is nearer than ever and not in the conventional way we would think.

[AnonymousParticipant]

Books and magazines to pass the time? JFC, was Nuclear war a temporary inconvenience in England such as a power cut then? LOL. IMPORTANT!! Don't forget your cups and saucers either, without those items the USSR may well have won.

[TheMRrocker7]

how did i get here

[rfactormo]

I just laughed about this video, and in the middle, I suddenly realized that there was really the possibility of a nuclear war. I couldn't laugh anymore.

[fallingupward1]

0:55 OK, so I'm not a Brit, but was Ox Tongue a particular foodstuff you should keep on hand, in a tin? Was this common?

[Danimalx3]

I made a fallout room my self, when I was 4. I called it "girl free house" very creative to name it, like a boat for luck, beautiful...

[thenerd1000]

the batterys to the radio look like EC packs for the gatlin lazer from Fallout 3

[readtherightbooks]

2.19 = i see there was 2 pence off a can of VIM back in 1986, so it wasn't all doom and gloom.

[readtherightbooks]

i like the Milk Of Magnesia at 1.59. nothing like a drop of Magnesia milk to offset the after effects of a thermonuclear bomb with the heat of a thousand suns.

x

[DrudgeKing]

...we all must slowly die from this invisible killer. who will die first? were the preparations enough? the freezers are thawing out. the air is getting thick. should i write this all down by candle light. even while mother screams in pain for us to let her run away outside where she can end the pain. even then? we had a good life. now we have a comfortable death. i bet the Scillings died instantly by that hideous pool. serves them right. i've been stealing food from the pantry. i taste blood..

[Thelonesniper101]

I can't believe they forgot guns and ammunution so when the radiation is gone they can fight of the mutants and zombies ;)

[hplexmark1]

just imagine that you were ever so careful about storing lots of tinned food and a can opener to open them with... you go into your shelter, decide to make a meal, go to open one of your cans, and the can opener breaks!

what a kick in the pants that would be

[curlyscookhouse]

i wounder what its like to live in a fort made out of bags blankets matteraces and doors 

[GenericWTLAlt]

Ah, the fallout room, of course. Because every house has a fallout room!

[An1malcr0ss1ng]

@EmperorMarcusNovius I've been looking at nuclear war as part of my drama project, and decided to read On The Beach because my mum had read it. It's so morbid... but I think there would be some people who would be determined to carry on living as normal a life as possible.

[MrFusionShadow]

what happened to the main supplies? like smokes, booze and porn lol

[TalksWithDirt]

@MrFusionShadow He mentioned those ... Medication, both perscribed and over the counter, and magazines ... and toys!

[ChocolateChad127]

If you have a feeling you're gonna die -- bring out the nice China. It'll be worth it.

[CynicalStrike]

Protip: Don't buy all this stuff at the same time.

"You are overencumbered and cannot run."

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[RoyFan33]

@CynicalStrike - That's okay, I'll just have Boone hold my fatman and heavy armor.

[britishsas123]

reserve a space in a Vault-Tec vault Today!

.

.

.

.

and hope you get selected for one of the control Vaults

[Razylll]

@britishsas123 I would like to build my own vault after having my imagination go through what could happen in a government controlled vault...

[britishsas123]

@Razylll

nah you got it mixed up, experimental vaults are the scary ones, the control vaults are the ones that are suppose to keep you alive

[Razylll]

@britishsas123 I meant all the vaults. I would rather live in 'my controlled environment' People themselves are what's scary. Human behavior is scary.

[toasty214]

Crockery: It's best to survive within while retaining stereotypes!

[szor1]

No weapons? I'll take my shotgun, pistol and M16 thank you!

[TwoBlumen]

Although the videos themselves are truly terrifying, it's the darkly humorous comments on each video that keep making me watch them.

[Razylll]

@TwoBlumen Humour is just another way to keep the spirit up! Plus being prepared is the biggest advantage in any survival situation.

[myrnaloysboy]

Wow Looks like Heinz is going to make a packet from Nuclear War then!?

[Professor6871]

What about a seatee and the TV in while your there?

[Professor6871]

Drinking water, food mostly in tins how the hell would you have food in anything else. I mean you couldn't nip out out to the nearest COP for Sunday joint.

[FastDeathbycat]

Stimpacks, Purified Water, and a scoped .44 magnum for the mutants.

[Professor6871]

@crazy580 Well if you watch Threads the people in basement, Ruth and her parents are eating just that cold baked beans from a tin.

[HatulRehov]

You forgot one thing..

"MAKE SURE YOU GOT ENOUGH AMMO FOR YOU ENERGY GUNS"

[Professor6871]

@HatulRehov Or one bullet left for yourself.

[bigkeno]

They make all of these psa's like people really have a chance but for real 20 missles from the russians would completely blanket the uk. None of y'all would know what hit you. 20 missles out of thousands. And we in the us would get the rest.

[hydrollama]

I would put Fallout 3 in my shelter. That way, it won't feel like anything changed!

[FalkySubIudice]

@rightfredsdead

Yeah, but this generally means that you are as good as dead. 

[jimbob1969]

My survival kit would be a bottle of whiskey and 50 valium

[Professor6871]

@jimbob1969 Good one there every survival kit should have both of these things in them.

[OMFGitsMARK]

only watching this because i fear a nuclear war will happen should NK attack SK again.. Kinda sad that this video even has to exist. Man Humans are fucking stupid..

[Kirtev]

Wonderful and well thought out advice, its all spot on and vital info, hard to find in print, but worth every penny as this info could easily save you and your families lives in the event of the unthinkable, thanks and well done!

[ldlmedia]

We are in the middle of a nuclear war, so where the hell is my Mills and Boon book????

[MrLulzmaker]

I would bring gold and guns also.

[TheMychemmonster]

2:06 to piss in? lmao

[DudeTed]

anyone know where i could buy a copy of the protect and survive booklet?

[NathanF11989]

@DudeTed Try eBay. I went there not so long ago and saw it available.

[aincles]

Never mind the threat of nuclear holocaust - that creepy doll at 2:26 is freakin' ME out....!

[dann756]

nah man, i'll just take my iphone, surely there's an app for nuclear fallout.

[danglebearing]

Tea cups and saucers, nice touch, don't forget the nuclear bunker 200 ft below ground level, submarine and space shuttle to go live on the moon, oh and a pack cards just in case you get bored watching your family shit in to a bucket for weeks. Which actually sounds more like a caravan holiday than a nuclear war.

[Noisegator]

If you protect your room against fallout it must be air tight, which means no combustion, no stove and no candles... and no breathing...

[thekroton]

These films neglect to mention the fact that we would all be

killed or made seriously ill by the high levels of radiation!!

[robthemod58]

Loving all the comments - fucking hilarious. And yes, OX Tongue....That's one for Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - roadkill surprise and a slow death for dinner kids. I reckon a fallout room would be a selling point if you're putting your house on the market.

[starbubble91]

maybe a bit of Gloria Gaynor at the end would put people at ease, instead of that creepy music.

[tengu695]

There's something they forgot to add; Whiskey and sleeping pills.

[animatetime]

This may mean staying in your fall-out room for 14 000 years...

[AbRamskiller41]

"Brought to you by the fine folks at VAULT TEC."

[YoungScienceGuy]

Assuming a family of four, you would need at least 112 litres of water to survive 14 days. That's just to drink.

I like how they skip over where you go to the toilet.

[professornuclearbomb]

The first aid kit and medicines would go with the necessities.

[professornuclearbomb]

I don't care in nuclear war occurs. I WILL survive, maybe thrive. All what is left to do is to build my shelter and get my supplies. See you in the wasteland.

[adam14212]

all is well as long as there is toilet paper :)

[flakfanatic]

"Fallout dust gives of deadly radiation, it cannot be seen or felt, it has no smell..." then I guess it has sound then, considering the fact that you placed creepy sound effects for them.

[brwhizz]

0:56 Mmm, Ox tongue!

[trje246]

lol @ 1:09

- The whole world is on fire.

- There is fall out.

- The nuclear winter has started, and... Mildred says to George "Oh no, NOT the fine china George, I've told you time and time again, we only bring that out  for guests!"

[FredAstaire76]

So how many trips to Tesco do you need to make? And spend how much?

[grahamkeithtodd]

the really scary thing about these films,is that if you followed their "advice" all you would do is prolong the agony!

the films that followed are even worse..

see what to do "if you have a dead body..."

[rodster6]

I'll take my He-man toys for sure lol.

[KOLSARNIT]

what!! NO NINTENDO DS!!!.

[Relugus]

Alas there is no space in your fall-out room for the following:

Hope

Happiness

Don't take too much food, after all, you only need enough food and water to last several thousand years.

[Relugus]

Sadly there will not be room in your fall-out room for the following:

Hope

Optimism

Happiness

[Professor6871]

@Relugus and don't forget survival.

[surviveTHEtimes]

My wife would kill me if we were stuck in a fallout shelter for 2 weeks, and when she went to open the canned goods she finds a can of ox tongue! LMAO! I would say to her... Desperate times call for desperate measures honey, and then she would kick me in the gudgells!

[robthemod58]

@surviveTHEtimes Fucking hilarious my friend. Brilliant. ;-)

[Professor6871]

@surviveTHEtimes You'd be lucky because might of gone on the menu yourself after all food runs out.

[PatchesRips]

Eat heartily before the bombs fall, and tell everyone you meet to get stuffed.

[Professor6871]

@PatchesRips But you'd be a nice and tasty for all those diseased, starving and dying people once you got out of your shelter.

[PatchesRips]

"Remember it might be a long wait before you find food again. Eating heartily before a nuclear war increases your chance of survival, so spread the word. Advise everyone you meet to get stuffed."

[ThaMasterOfDisaster2]

where the fuck does the porn come in?

[kellogscornsnake]

why clutlary an crockary?

[PASPCHE]

don't forget to get your portable telegraph, and you never can forget to bring a gun, just in case a mutant decides to invade your inner refuge...

dear god how the hell are you going to fit all that crap in an inner refuge and STILL have enough room for a family and the other things that the Protect and Survive series recommends!

[rorrt]

i will tell you now, if this really did happen, and we really did go into fallout.

with all of that stuff there wouldnt be enough room to walk...

Food, water, radio....and maybe a book.

[timeclock3000]

''keep out of fall out till its safe''....?

[piegrylls]

whats the sand for ?

[Iznibz]

Nuclear picnic anyone?

[jw1701]

mmmmm ox tongue

[miniroll32]

What a load of bull! Sure, i'll manage to fit a table and chairs, sand, food, clothes, toys, the kids, wife, utilities, and bags full of my own feces under the stairs. I'd rather just take some sleeping pills - knowing my luck, i'd survive the attack! doh..

[TheKingofBrims]

I think I would rather by vaporised by a nuclear bomb than being a survivor and dieing a slow agonising painful death from radiation sickness. These programs were made put the public in a false sense of security, come on anything is going to die after a nuclear war unless your 200ft under the welsh mountains.

[Professor6871]

@TheKingofBrims Well there was the BBC QED programmeabout nuclear war and shelters , made around the same time as these so called igovernment nformation films that gave other side of things i.e. reality.

[mubd1234]

0:52 Ox Tongue?

[fireball01e]

You dont need any of these things, that book will save your life!!LOL

I wonder if fall out makes that noise and looks like a big bit of cellophane flapping around?

[dannydandan2006]

books magazines toys food. sounds like a coach trip

[FirstWave12]

Buy this book! Using nuclear war to sell stuff! Brilliant! It's not going to help you but if there is no nuclear war, then you'll never know that! And if there is, you won't be able to ask for a refund! Evil. But Smart.

[Professor6871]

@FirstWave12 the free market in action.

[neilam6]

do u think having radiation poisoning would be worse than having a man cold? lol

[miniroll32]

Well... nothings worse for a man than plucking hairs out your nose lol

[HerrMiesmuschel34]

Youre local authority says "if your are death and gone, you maybe no more brought youre own falloutroom again "! lol

[myrnaloysboy]

LOL @ "Prepare for this now."

[sirmadness]

Well, at least nowadays we have wind-up radios so you can listen to the soothing sounds of the apocalypse without need for "spare batteries."

$500 bucks says the BBC's post-nuclear radio programme includes "Always look on the bright side of life."

[xpidf1]

It's also possible if you encounter a tornado in Japan

[weeblairnumber1]

eww ox tounge

[ARTSIEBECCA]

omg..those were huge batteries!

[TomthatiscalledTom]

What a load of bollocks. There were at least 100 nuclear targets in the UK by the 1970s and 80s. Even if the Russians decided to be nice and just nuke military targets with 'tactical' missiles, most towns and cities would be either flattened or gutted by fire. I suppose the 'books and magazines' are to take your mind off your third degree burns and radiation poisoning?

[TheNotoriousGOD]

Sand? For cleaning your face...?

[corvettedude346]

Sand, to use as your own "cat box" I think haha

[Cybrludite]

Your plates, actually. To save water for drinking.

[koosk41]

This is more like the prizes from the Generation Game conveyor belt.

[nathanhickton]

@koosk41 Missing the His and Hers stuff and the fondue set!

[grahamkeithtodd]

the reason you HAVE to "inclued" the protect and survive" booklet is so you can beat to death any surviving goverment offical that bothers to come knocking on the ruins of your house with it!

[ARTSIEBECCA]

Maybe they are mad cuz you kept you gas and electric on and blew up the whole nieghborhood!

[cat13woman]

assuming we are all still alive to live in the fall out room!! pass me the prozac!

[SweetMushroomClouds]

I'd want some cyanide capsules as well .

[Rexell28]

Table and Chairs? Just how fucking big is this room? Why stop there? What about a football pitch, supremarket, playground, roundabout, carpark, rollercoatser and deep mine. Fall-out dust? More like Cosmic dust for Superted and moon dust for Neil Armstrong in case he pops in to borrow the spare bulbs and batteries.

[TigerWalrus26980]

Too true - you wouldn't have needed a fallout room, it would have been more like a whole house!

[koosk41]

You're forgetting Starbucks!

[Professor6871]

@Rexell28 They should of had a bath and shower as well that keep clean in a nuclear war. Perhaps this could be a new programme 'Nuke Shelters under the Hammer'. Laughing aside, you would have had to have had an intellect of five year old too have taken any of these Protect and Survive films at all seriously. I remember at the time most people thought that a dildo had made these films or at worst piss taker.

[Cybrludite]

Actually useful advice for any sort of emergency. A bit under-kill for dealing with WWIII, but quite handy for say getting snowed in or getting by during a truckers' strike.

[alanridgley]

meanwhile the toffs will be drawing up decontamination contracts in the Cayman Islands.and planning infastructure/renewal...

[annietimes]

"Bring torches with spare bulbs and batteries, candles, matches..."

Ah, for those lovely candle-lit dinners during the nuclear holocaust.

[crazy580]

How romantic, eating cold beans by candlelight, watching the fallout from the window.

[krispyjc]

@crazy580

You forgot the listing to the relaxing faint warble warble warble of the fallout :P

[mediamadman747]

I wish to make a public declaration that there will be no, I repeat, NO frank and beans stockpiled in my fallout room/inner refuge.

[neilam6]

i think just to fuck people up a bit they should of broadcasted these lol wow he actually sounds quite calm in this 1 normally its like do it NOW!

[Korrektorr]

I lol'd hardly. Comfortable live after nuke attack))) And toys for kids...

[ceekay100]

Yeah, the toy suggestion is where it got me ... hilarious!

[umahuma4]

well, its going to get boring as fuck in a fallout shelter

[ThunderMage]

Well, at least it helped sales at various department stores.

[Stefnir94]

He forgot to tell us to put some rope in the fallout room for hanging yourself.

[ARTSIEBECCA]

LMAO!!!!

[readtherightbooks]

14 days? 'books and magazines to pass the time'?? gawd knows what sorts of books they were thinking of.

[browny232323]

Dictionary, The Bible, LOTR??? All suitable books for the 14 days lol

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

harry potter lol

[cjwmanic]

You can tell these videos are obviously flawed, no way you would survive by hiding under some doors when you are in the middle of a nuclear firestorm. I believe many who believed it were simply so desperate to survive a situation they believed was coming, that they would take any advice, no matter how silly it sounds as gospel truth.

[Guildenstern1989]

Make sure you stock up on ox tounge!

[errorgorilla]

Ah, the 'illusion of safety' as Tyler Duerden called it.

[sportyskinladz]

I live on the 8th floor, in a one bed flat in a tower block in the middle of Manchester. I'm sooooo screwed if this ever happens!

[malachy81]

If I was in a nuclear attack I would make sure i'm armed to the teeth to kill anyone who started trouble

[mwilso]

thanks for uploading this. This one isn't featured in the Imperial War Museum London, please see my IWM Tribute which features the Protect and Survive films

[gottagothatsme]

Ah, now I know what 14 days looks like!

[movieman523]

Except about 80% of the UK population would be in the serious damage zone of a Soviet attack, either dead or with roofs, door and windows blown away. It's a joke.

Also, compare the amount of stuff to the size of the 'refuge room'. Fitting a table and chairs into a cupboard under the stairs? Yeah, right.

[TNTfan101]

These give me nightmares, but I still love them!

[GluexbaerLover]

worse than any horror-movie...

[Pandemian]

I think its to wash up with in the absence of water...

[TNTfan101]

It's actually to wash dishes!

[undergroundsplee]

What's with the box of sand?!?

[25AUG1968]

I could tell you what the box of sand was FOR, but I think I shall stay quiet on that one, because it's quite disgusting! Mike S.

[chrisharbidge]

Right... now I know what do do if someone drops a 200 megaton bomb on my house.. thank you mr government :)
