It looks like the world is on the edge of World War III. With Vladimir Putin's Eastern European expansion, to his nuclear tipped fighter jets and bombers flying all over, to the buildup of NATO forces along the border, it would seem like any day now nukes will by flying all over.
The US/Russia aside, there is also the issue of nuclear-happy India and Pakistan:
"Since the conventional military imbalance between India and Pakistan is expected to grow thanks to India's larger economy and higher gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate, Pakistan's reliance on nuclear weapons to compensate for its conventional inferiority will likely be an enduring feature of the nuclear balance in South Asia."
The report outlines what will happen if a nuclear war breaks out in Asia:
How can anyone who isn't rich possibly prep for this scenario? Specifically I'm wondering about growing food (contamination concerns/nuclear winter ruins the growing season?), hunting (the animals be contaminated and/or already dead), and protection equipment for nuclear fallout.

"If …War is fought with 100 Hiroshima-size weapons (currently available in India-Pakistan arsenals), which have half of 1 percent (0.05%) of the total explosive power of all currently operational and deployed U.S.-Russian nuclear weapons
20 million people die from the direct effects of the weapons...
1 to 5 million tons of smoke quickly rise 50 km above cloud level into the stratosphere
25-40% of the protective ozone layer would be destroyed at the mid-latitudes, and 50-70% would be destroyed at northern high latitudes. Massive increases of harmful UV light would result, with significantly negative effects on human, animal and plant life.
Some medical experts predict that ensuing food shortages would cause hundreds of millions of already hungry people, who now depend upon food imports, to starve to death during the years following the nuclear conflict."
