I wouldn't, most likely.
but I have some easy steps:
1: Locate strategic placed safehouse
2: locate resources. (weapon,food, clean water, materials etc)
3: locate allies
4: reproduce
5: locate nmore resources

I Would Gather All My Friends And Family, Rob The Local Tesco (Like Snake Once Robbed The Kwik-E-Mart On The Simpsons, By Transporting It On A Truck) And Hide In A Nuclear Bunker. However, Ireland Is Neutral, So There Are No Nuclear Bunkers LOL

I'd move in with the talking Deathclaws in Vault 13. When the Enclave attacked, assuming I somehow survived, I would rescue as many of their eggs as I could and raise myself an intelligent deathclaw family. I would also arm myself rather heavily from the Vault's armory.
Just having them around would be a powerful deterrent: a guy who needs no control collars to command deathclaws - deathclaws who can communicate and strategize to a degree - is clearly not someone to take lightly, and most people aren't skilled or equipped well enough to take down even one deathclaw.

Then we'd find some settlement to adopt, preferably one with a decent brahmin stock (deathclaws gotta eat) and folks willing to accept my new family and I. We defend them, they feed us. We could even clean up the Wasteland in our own way: spreading rumors that a weak and undefended settlement has popped up. When Raiders move in, my children will support the local militia and tear the raiders apart, their wealth and gear become ours and the Wasteland is made a little safer.
Or I could just start a circus. "Come see the amazing performing Deathclaws!"

I have no idea what Europe is like in the Fallout universe... :(

Probably just scavenging or try and make a buisness.

Europe is a footnote.

Stay in a vault, probably. Or die. I doubt I would survive. And I also doubt that in that situation, I'd want to. I guess if I could find other survivors, I'd stick with them, but I'd also need to find a bloody good reason to live.

I would probably get some other survivors and go scavenge for supplies and then get to a good building that is easy to defend from Raiders and Muties. Every month or so when we have scavenged all the supplies from an area, move on to the next town, eventually working our way from the Northwest to the Midwest US. Bombs probably dropped on the coasts, for the most part.

Dave had the right idea, I gather some survivors, build some fences and houses, and create the Republic of Jedamethis. Or Jedopolis. Or Jedatopia. Something like that anyway.

I don't care about which fallout your going to survive in, just HOW.
Would you settle in a town and open a store, become a raider or slaver? Or just Ride with the trade caravans?

The nuclear fallout is the limit! Now tell me... (be creative)
I figure myself to be a trader of sorts, I'd stay the f*** out of fighting when I can and mostly exploit other people. Probably capture a superhuman at some stage and train him up good.

Oh, I'd also make a city of Ghouls, lead them towards domination! (And of course kill those that go feral)

I'd fortify a building with turrets, traps and other automated defenses... and then live in a small shack next door selling ammo and equipment to scavengers and merchants who come to plunder the legendary treasure in the fortress next door... of course the ammo and weapons I sell would be scalvenged from all those who died trying to make it in. I'd be the affable old guy who tells misleading stories that get people just far enough in to guarantee they don't wreck the defenses too much before they get in a position to be trapped and killed with the minimum of fuss.

... why yes I am a bit of a bastard, but it would be a dog-eats-dog world and I'm determined that everyone should think I'm a mouse right until I kill them.

I think I'll go S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
It's short for:
Scavanger, Trespasser, Advanturer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber.
Yeah, took it off TVTropes
It pretty much sums up your job in Fallout.

You know that means grass and unharmable doors right?

I'd hunt Radscorpions, and other animals for materials. Then make a partnership with someone that can make armour and sell Scorpion Plate Armour? with them.

Because it'd be awesome, and fairly profitable.

Edit: On deathclaws... Surely you could give them some meat to placidate them. Like any other predator, they'd go for the easier meal rather than the one that can hurt them. I'd probably try to domesticate one. No one would screw with someone with a Deathclaw as a pet.
