Could you survive a nuclear holocaust if you were living on some remote island?

Would a nucleur winter affect your ability to sustenence farm on a pacific island?

If you had wildlife could you just eat enough from the boar population to let them breed?

Not Guam Island because North Korea will try to nuke there.
Neither Hawaii, Cuba or Singapore.
But I think that Iceland & Ireland are pretty safe.

You would be deprived of several vitamins if you only lived on boar. You would still need fruit/vegetables, which a nuclear winter would complicate. The nuclear winter would also affect the viability of the wildlife's food sources.

Depends who it was between. A thermonuclear skirmish between India and Pakistan would drop global temperatures, shift rainfall patterns etc. but you'd probably be able to survive. If the USA and the USSR had a slugging match at the height of the cold war, global average temperature would drop by 20 degrees. No survivors, anywhere.
