Quoting: AggregateThreat In truth, there is no singular “safe place” where you are guaranteed to survive no matter what, but there are certain factors that make some regions safer than others. In general, the bet regions to survive in the United States should meet as many of the following criteria as possible: Low population density (arguably the most important factor) Away from the coastlines Little risk of natural disaster (tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.) Plenty of fresh, running water An abundance of wild game and edible plants that you can hunt or forage Fertile land for growing crops Long growing seasons A current strong local or statewide economy The ability to re-build an economy after a disaster (examples: farmer’s markets, mines, logging, oil sites, etc.) Protected gun rights A low crime rate Lower cost of living/housing Low property taxes Away from nuclear/chemical power plants and military bases Away from major cities that could be potential enemy targets We’ve attempted to include regions throughout the US on our list. Let’s get started: [link to concerneduspatriots.com] if you haven';t already been tending to and living on your bug out property, showin up there at the last minute will not help if fruit trees and gardens are not well established, then you are buggin gout to a location that has not been prepped |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78363501 United States 06/27/2020 11:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Demographics are always important. You don't ant to live next to a bunch of meth heads. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76413336 Yes. I actually have 5 acres in eastern TN, about 30 min from the KY border. I haven't been able to do much with it, but do have a barn on the property with everything needed to build an earthbag house. It's well off all major highways and actually on what is considered a mountain. Very small population. To your point, one of my concerns is this: the land pmts are pretty low and this attracts people that drag a small trailer up there and live pretty minimally. Most of them are on disability and sit around smoking dope all day long. None of them have anything beyond that govt check, so I've always worried about them in a shtf situation, especially if/when those checks stop. No place is perfect. I guess you have to get away from the immediate, big threats (we live on outskirts of large city), then deal with the problems in your remote location. |

Christopher Columbus User ID: 79079991 United States 06/27/2020 12:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was born and raised in Idaho. Believe me it's beautiful when the weather is nice but winters can be harsh. I moved to Arizona when I turned 18. The biggest problem is access to water. And the dangerous wildlife. Eventually I got married and moved to Maine. It's a great place to bugout but the growing seasons are short and the winters long. 8 years to the day I moved to Kentucky just outside of Paris. IMO it's the best place. Low taxes, low population density, low risk of severe weather, plenty of clean water, and a long growing season. The people here also have a similar mindset. |
