Myself, I'll stand outside and watch the end. Better to die like a man staring fate in the eye then like a rat that hides in a hole he will never leave.

If you live; your survivors' children will be born mentally retarded with birth defects.

Strontium-90 (90Sr) has a half life of 28.8 years or about generation.
Residual Cesium-137 from a nuclear war will rot your body with cancers -- your death will be a slow and painful death if you try to hide in a hole. In time the radiation will get into the air of the hole you try to hide in. You will want to put the barrel of your rifle or gun in your mouth and get it all over.

So, beat on your chest like a scared little boy if you want ... I am not all impressed ...
