Hi all – new here.
Just looking at buying a simple dosimeter in anticipation of a ‘limited nuclear war’ at some point over the coming crazy time.
Probably don’t need to spend £350+ for a full Geiger Counter though.
Just thinking I need something to alert me if/when fallout occurs.
Anyone know a good one that’s not too expensive?

I’m interested in what you find is best, all I did was a quick google search:
I do keep Iosat for every family member:

Thanks John
I decided on an £80 cheap and cheerful geiger from ebay last night – it won’t be very accurate but it can click away as it detects gamma and I should get some warning if there’s a sudden fallout event.
I can get out of the hot rain or air then.
No good for testing water or food though, but I will be able to know when clean rain washes things down again afterwards. (in theory).
If USA/China have just a limited exchange we probably won’t even hear about it in the UK til the fallout is here.
I doubt They’ll go full scale nuclear winter – just a few problematic cities cleansed and a couple of years of extra dose for us lab rats, while They hunker in Their bunkers.

I like this one: _ Nuk Alert because it is warranted for 10 years and claims to be able to detect very low and very high levels of gamma radiation.

Those Nuk Alerts are great. They last for years and you can send them in to have their battery replaced. One down side: When they move from a cold environment to a warm environment they chirp every 30 seconds or so until they’re stabilized. It’s a feature, not a bug. You can test to see if it’s working by sticking it in a freezer for a few minutes and then pulling it out. But it can be annoying and gives itself away to others if, like me, it’s part of your edc pack.
