This is messed up. You can easily survive freezing temps if you have a cozy cabin and plenty of available firewood.
But you can’t get a tan.

If if one of his criteria is low pop density, guess where all the masses are going to head?
I agree, myself, looking at it from a tactical and survival standpoint, like the idea of North Conway, NH, near the white Mountains.
It’s somewhat secluded, not near any major airports, and most importantly, it has very few main roads going into the area, which allows you to monitor who goes in and out.
There’s plenty of wildlife in the surrounding forests for hunting, a source of clean fresh water with the Sacco River, and plenty of open spaces to live and wood for heat.
They do get quite a bit of snow, but if you’re a native New Englander this isn’t an issue, it can actually help since it will reduce the amount of people trying to get into the area.
Since there is also a lack of the entitlement class up there, there’s less chance of riots and looters, you’re going to get more of a well armed and ready group being that is it New Hampshire.
So I feel like it wouldn’t be a bad place to e during a SHTF moment.
Imagine the competition for “his” space!
Firewood!! Warms ya twice...cuttin' and burnin'.
But what are you going to do when you get old and unable to cut enough, hmmmmm??? (like I am now)
Yeah, but what are you gonna do for veggies?
Cut wood takes over a year to cure - and squaw wood - the stuff you can pick up in a forest - won't keep a cabin warm for a week - especially if others are also gathering. Heating with wood - which I did years ago - requires a working chain saw, access to gasoline, and replacement parts.
It could be done - but it would take a lot more time and discipline than most think.
