You hit the nail on the head. People cant hide from it. It is in a small community where it will be best to weather this storm. Big enough for trade, safety and medical but small enough where there isn't a large dependent population. Bravo for not giving the 100 miles in the woods/mountains answer.

True, but I can find places to hide there when the s**t hits the fan!

" Alaska seems tempting for me..."

Better think again. I live in Wasilla and prep for the worst but long term here without a supply infrastructure will be impossible. Besides there is a large population of "takers" here that rely on state and federal entitlements. I figure after a year they will all be gone but in that time they will be a dangerous and constant enemy. Most are well supplied with guns and government implanted sense of entitlement to what others have. Witness our recent senatorial election. Farming for all but a few is unrealistic and the growing season is very short. Another thing to consider is energy. You can't survive winter without heat. If natural gas lines are disrupted then not only heat but electricity is gone since our earth worshipers here will not let us build coal powered plants. THink about what Alaska was like a 100 years ago and you get the picture.

No. No. No. That’s a horrible place. Only miles and miles of Christmas trees growing. Don’t anybody even *think* over moving there.

Seriously, that is a good place to be in a meltdown. Good people. Lots of firewood, water, turkey, deer, and trout. Moonshine too. Farmland isn’t all that cheap but it is beautiful country and the neighbors watch out for one another.

Keep it a secret, please.

Or the underground bunker / death-trap answer. :)

Even growing veggies that way will be illegal. Better stick to pot . . .

LOL !

You get it. Welcome.

Be sure and visit the great expanses in the more unpopulated areas in the state. DFW does not look like most of the state.

The difference you notice between Dallas and Ft. Worth is minor compared to the difference between DFW and the middle of the “Big Nothing” or out in far West Texas.

The people are much the same, but not packed nearly as tightly. Much lower keyed life in the rural places.

Vermont is a socialist state to be avoided in good times and bad.

I lived in CT. I hope you’d be safe from the hoodrats of Springfield, Hartford and New Haven.

Mostly, I'd agree. But they allow you to carry concealed without a permit. That is huge.

believe it or not, the FAR north end of California.

If you go toward the coast up there...there's nothin'. Well, except fish in the rivers and game in the woods. And pot.

Texas will be full of Freepers & Conservatives, from the looks of this thread! As soon as my son can transfer there, that is where we will be heading too!

For the love of God, stay out of North Dakota. That is a treeless, frozen wilderness with nothing but left over lutefisk and sauge with kraut to eat and old beer soaked accordial players on the radio and in the bars.

LOL...Last time we were there, people still used phone booths....The wind as so @#*& cold and blowing so hard, we couldn't even close the door to the phone booth...Laughing hysterically, we drove out of that state as fast as possible with a windshield full of bug guts. Big freaking bugs too.

HR875 - Are you talking about Monsanto and their desire to control all food production because they claim the patents on genetically modified seeds? This company has overstepped the bounds of any private corporation.

I have known about this for quite awhile and have been getting the word out to those around me...along with the “voluntary” registration of farms (including hobby farms) so that the government knows what you raise as far as livestock goes. My plans will remain the same...the alternative is to just stop and give up...not an option.

I could be wrong but from my way of thinking, if we have an economic meltdown there is a good chance that the police are going to be busier in the cities trying to maintain order that they will not have the time to come way out by me to check on my bean plants. There is even a good chance that the police will know longer have jobs if the economic meltdown is severe enough...who then will enforce this law? So far we have held off passage of this bill...hopefully we can continue. If it does pass, think about the great pictures the news casters could get of masked officers destroying grandma’s garden because she was not authorized to grow peas...stop the home gardens but not the drug growers...it will just push this country closer to a civil war. I hope that this does not happen.

So your better option would be?
