They investigated the impact of abrupt sunlight reduction scenarios (ASRS)...

The Doomsday Clock has moved the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been - largely because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and also the climate crisis. Now, a study finds five locations most likely to survive an apocalyptic nuclear winter.

If 2023 is the year the world starts to collapse, scientists think they know where you should head to survive.

The Doomsday Clock has moved the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been - largely because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and also the climate crisis.

Now, researchers say Australia and New Zealand are among five island nations most likely to survive an apocalyptic nuclear winter.

The study, by the University of Otago and Adapt Research in New Zealand, looked at the impact of "a severe sun-reducing catastrophe" such as a nuclear war, super volcano or asteroid strike on global agricultural systems.

Researchers found Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu most capable of continuing to produce food despite the reduced sunlight and fall in temperatures - and help reboot a collapsed human civilisation.

The article presents an interesting perspective on survival locales in the event of a nuclear winter. As a survivalist and sailor, I find this research quite enlightening. However, I'd like to add a few points for consideration.

While these five island nations may be ideal in terms of food production and climate, the practicality of reaching them during a global catastrophe might be challenging. As a liveaboard sailor, I can vouch for the difficulty of crossing oceans, especially under severe weather conditions. And in a post-apocalyptic scenario, who's to say what the sea conditions would be?

Survival isn't just about the destination, it's about the journey as well. Having a well-prepared sailboat with self-sustaining systems like solar panels and a desalination system, like my own 'Sea Breeze', allows for extended survival at sea. It's a mobile shelter that can navigate to safer areas while providing basic necessities.

Also, a secluded island doesn't necessarily have to be one of the nations mentioned. There are countless small, uninhabited islands around the world that could provide a temporary safe haven in case of a catastrophe. Plus, living on a boat offers the flexibility to move if the situation on the island becomes unmanageable.

Lastly, I'd like to emphasize the importance of prepping. Whether it's for a nuclear winter or a severe storm, being prepared is vital. It's not just about having a plan; it's about having the skills, supplies, and mindset to adapt and overcome. As the saying goes, "It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it."

Safe sailing and happy prepping, folks!
