War, oil shortages, global warming, nuclear bombs, and economic collapse... All of it seems unlikely, but don't you want to be prepared?
If you have to jump on a plane (or a boat or a train or a hot air balloon) and head for safety, you want to know where in the world you should go.

Funny, NZ isn’t on the list.
I thought Texas was in a drought?
I’m wondering where the best place to go is if a world-wide zombie epidemic breaks out.
SE TX was in a horrible drought.. we got some rain recently which has knocked us down from Dust/Inferno Bowl (5) to Charming Desert (3) status.
All you really need to know is that this idyllic city in the North of Thailand is where famous investor Marc Faber makes his home. Faber is one of the most gloomy people you'll meet in the investment world, constantly issuing warnings about where you should live if the war comes (rural farmland), and what will happpen to the dollar (it will be worth less than toilet paper).
What's more, while Southeast Asia has been a hotspot for war, heroin, massacres, and political turmoil for decades, Chiang Mai has remained a stronghold of peace and stability. That's a great sign that it can probably survive no matter what history throws at the rest of us.
Ok, it is no. 1 and I agree with that and technically we live in San Sai which is a few miles to the North but within the Chiangwat. If things really go to hell, about 100 miles away in Chiangwat Phrae, is Ban Rong Kat. Everyone's food is home grown and people usually walk most places. Friendly.
Safest place?
On a boat in the south Pacific, anchored to a deserted island, thousands of miles from the nearest ‘civilization’.
It already did.

Thats right my friend. Texas! non-Texas Freepers you are my guests here in the Lone Star State.
Kansas City? A great place to go if you want to die in the first wave...
I am quite happy after almost a year in the Philippines.
It is a third world country, and people are poor, but most are quite happy, and very friendly.
Also, I can live just fine on $500 per month !!!
I have a nice little cottage at a beach.
My previous 4 years were in central Europe, also nice, but expensive.
There is no way that I would return to Obammieland.
If you are left after the rapture, stay away from islands. They are going away.
That was last week!
This week we're flooding.
The Nuclear Free Zone of Berkeley, Califorbnia
That’s Texas for you always has to have the biggest of everything including drought and flood! LOL!
There are few places that I would feel safer, if everything fell apart.
"Was" is the operative word. We've had 2.5 times the normal amount of rainfall in October. 10 inches, and every lake in North Texas is completely full. Folks here are overwhelmed with water at this point.
You mean like this one?
There is no rapture..
Galt’s Gulch, Colorado.
No brag, no boast. Just the facts!
Texas by Chris Rea:
Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
Been thinking ‘bout it lately
Been watching some TV
Been looking all around me
At what has come to be
Been talking to my neighbour
And he agrees with me
It’s all gone crazy
Well my wife returns from taking
My little girl to school
She’s got beads of perspiration
As she tries to keep her cool
She says That mess it don’t get no better
There’s gonna come a day
Someone’s gonna get killed out there
And I turn to her and say Texas
She says What?
I said Texas
She says What?
They’ve got big long road out there
Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
I’m going to Texas
We got to get out of here
We got to get out of here
Well I got a little brother
Several meters high
Yea his built just like a quarterback
And he swears he’ll testify
he says he’s been to Texas
And that’s the only place to be
Big steaks, big girls, no trouble there
That’s the place for me
I’m going to Texas
I’m going to Texas
Watch me walking
Watch me walking
500 a month?? wow.
So you either don’t believe Paul when he says:
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
Or you do believe Paul but you attribute a different meaning to his words than the typical “rapturist.”
Just curious ...
“If you are left after the rapture...”
What rapture?
bump
LOL
Been there doing that.
“500 a month?? wow.”
Yes, and that includes everything...plenty of beer and wine, too.
I forgot to mention, If I HAD to be in the USA, it would be ONLY in east Tennessee mountains, my home state.
yep! LOL
The worms have come out of the ground!
I work with a guy who I am sure has contingency planning for that event.
Great song.
A real goofy collection.....
Sweet
I was thinking Cade’s Cove Tennessee myself, but to far away for me now days.
Does that include assholes?
"On a boat in the south Pacific, anchored to a deserted island, thousands of miles from the nearest ‘civilization’."
That's my idea too. And, the boat could get me to Tierra Del Fuego.
In the early 1800's Humboldt traveled to Tierra Del Fuego and reported seeing two types of people.
Short fat people who made their living from the sea and tall skinny people who made their living off the land.
The tall people are my people...I will be welcomed as their new leader and will have access to all the virgins I desire.
Agreed! I love this place!

Why not? If everything does go to Hell, in some ways you won’t even notice anything different.
My dad just retired and is looking at living in Mexico. Maybe he should put the Philippines on the list too. $500 bucks a month with a cottage on the beach sounds great.
Bump for later.
Great graphic!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm where to go where to go.
LOL!!!
“I was thinking Cade’s Cove Tennessee myself, but to far away for me now days.”
Cade’s Cove is great, but it is in the GSMNP.
Only a park ranger could maybe live there.
Townsend is maybe the closest town. Then there is Gatlinburg, but too busy and touristy.
