Against a Federal collapse - nowhere... Against a collapse by several States - North Dakota and Texas...
I think you are correct in ND and TX cause they have energy. I think states with energy and food will do the best. Blame idiots who watch TV for empower Obama and the left to destroy America. If you watch TV - you helped.
Have you ever seen the winters in North Dakota?
For those who haven’t, let me put it this way:
People in Wyoming and Montana think that they’re the junior varsity winter team.
North Dakota is the varsity winter team.
Most people either cannot withstand a winter in ND, or their spouse won’t withstand it.
For complete self-sufficiency, I think that the southeast states are far easier for most modern people. The weather is better, the resources are better, the hunting and fishing for subsistence is easier, the farming/cropping is easier and more plants will survive there, etc.
Texas, in certain areas, is far better than the northern Rockies or ND/SD. In west Texas, you’d better be a pretty handy guy to be able to handle the water issue by yourself.
