I’ve settled on either making a run for Texas or going up to the Buffalo River. I need to learn a bit about both before I make up my mind.

I'll be heading for the hills.....no, wait......I already live there! :-)

Just an FYI, Jack Spirko, creator of TheSurvivalPodcast.com, who lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area bought land here in Arkansas 25-30 miles from me a few years ago as his bugout location, and is in the process of moving here (if he hasn't already) permanently.

One of the most important things will be in an area that can cut itself off. In the month or two after a general collapse you want to be on an island, way up in the mountains or best of all near an army base, with friends on the inside. Look I don’t care if you have a cabin in the country with 1500 rounds of ammo. When 8 million starving gang bangers, drug dealers, welfare queens and other associated Obama voters show up you are going to be overrun. Remember they are all armed too, and even if they are shooting their pistol sideways, there are simply millions of them.

On the other hand an infantry division will take care of these types with little effort. Even if the M1A2s run out of gas, towed artillery can still break up a human wave attack. Lacking an army, get yourself into a militia. On your own you are toast, in a group, especially a group that can lay down some serious firepower, you have a chance.

Basically concerns about frost lines, agriculture and the like will be very secondary in the first few months. Staying away from other people will be the key to survival.
