" 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.

Well, I know one can be pretty much off the grid there. I’ve lived near the Arctic Circle in the north of Scotland before so I’m used to the temps. I didn’t realize you had a bunch of hippies there though. I guess no matter where one decides to hold out one will have to be self-sufficient and know how to survive the wild.
