My vote is north central Missouri/south central Iowa. Got everything you need there and low population while 3 hours from any major city.

This was posted before, exactly the same article.

Since I already posted there I’ll refrain from this one.

Texas. First, last and always. We’ve been fighting off the Mexicans for 180 years and we’re pretty good at it if the feds get the hell out of the way. And to anticipate the criticism, “Mexicans” means them what ain’t s’posed to be here.

I’m staying put. Michigan is already in a state of economic collapse yet we’ve learned to survive here. The small rural towns are ideal. Plus we don’t have to deal with earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, or strong storms. We also have relatively mild winters.

Texas or Northern VA.

Northern VA — because the gubmint will take care of its own, but it is lower tax, lower regulation than DC and MD.

Texas — because Texans know how to get it done.

Stay close to God where ever you roam.

[Psalm 73]

Sometimes you just have to "grow where you're planted".

We live in the suburbs of a small (<150,000) southern New England city - not the optimal location, but is where I work (good job), and near like-minded, gun-owning Christian-conservatives.
Have 1/3-acre I set up for growing lots of veggies/berries to can for the winter, near many good water sources, small house easy to heat (wood if need be).
Good deer and small game pop. nearby.

Would love to live in a region better suited for survival purposes - but I don't, so money and energy go into preparing THIS place as well as possible.

My escape is upstate NY in the Adirondacks

It's as rural as anything out west (I'll have a 6 million acre backyard), the population is libertarian leaning and I could survive isolated if necessary a long time

Basically the best places is anywhere that's not a city and anywhere that doesn't have a “diverse” population.

I’m not going to tell you because we don’t want you all moving here. LOL!!

Being a lover of Jesus, I hope to escape to heaven if it gets too bad.

Anywhere near a lot of farms and forests, where you can get or grow your own vegetables and livestock and hunt for meat, and chop wood for heat and cooking. I live in semi-rural southeastern Pennsylvania. I am investigating buying a windmill and a solar panel for power; it is very windy here though we do not get tornadoes or other very severe weather. I have an acre of land and I can farm all of it if necessary. The folks behind us have three acres and already have chickens and goats.

So what do all of you think about this list? Which area of the country do you think is best for those Americans who are seeking to prepare themselves for the coming economic collapse?

I think you and glen beck should get together in the same bunker.

I'll keep my guns loaded {as always} and stay right where I am {Western PA}.

Good water and food for 90 days, thousands of rounds of ammo, multiple guns and knowledge of outdoor survival will give my family an edge for staying OK.

If the Country is still in peril after three months, survival mode will have long since been replaced by predator mode and things that will be occurring are too gruesome to contemplate and certainly can't be posted here.

Texas, plenty of oil, food and guns. And the guts to use them.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

I find it rather amusing that the Southeast has nothing to offer but poverty, crime and difficulty in getting around. Supposedly this article was concerned with where you could best live when TSHTF. So, the author didn't mention that you can garden year round in the deep south and there is more wildlife to eat than you can shake a stick at. All in all, I'm pretty tickled that he chose to write off the SE.

[Logic n' Reason]

One point was missed in the summary of the "upper mid-west".

The point of rampant, pervasive, all-encompassing socialism/communism.

I give you the once great, but still communist, socialist, "rust belt" state of Wisconsin whose capital is Mosco....er....Madison....with it's neighboring satellite, Minnesota.

"One of my favorite places east of the Mississippi River are the mountains along the Tennessee/North Carolina border. If you must be in the eastern half of the United States, that is not a bad choice."

Upper East Tennessee is the best place in the USA. Climate is clement, tectonics are quiet, nice mix of industry, agriculture and wilderness, conservative electorate, and you'll easily find churches with all-day singings and dinner on the grounds.

I'm an immigrant from the Rust/Snow Belt, myself. And come to think of it, I don' really want hordes of other immigrants crowding in here.

Maybe I should lie, and say it's a BAD place, you wouldn't like it, don't come here whatever you do! Shoo! Shoo!

[TNoldman]

ping where to live?

[WOBBLY BOB]

there’s a vacancy at a compound in Allalabad.
