The writer of the book Civil War 2 mentions an area he calls the 'Dothan (Ala) Pensacola (Fla) Corridor' as a desirable place to be in a Civil War.
I'm not far from there and plan to look around in that area for a 'spot' of refuge in the near future.
I’m sorry, but all this natural disaster stuff has nothing to do with an economic collapse.
The author’s insistence on crime rates in the South betrays shallow research. The urbanized NE ares have - and will have, larger crime rates than the South.
Florida is not under Sea Level and is not some dangerous place to live.
Employment in the NE during a major collapse? - Don’t make me laugh.
You had best be all very well armed and prepared to shoot at any time up there, because the very definition of economic “collapse” means huge unemployment in any such area.
Ummm..Bama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi isn’t the Southeast? What do you think SEC stands for in college football?
That's been a growing problem already in Maine, where rural drug use and poverty is causing theft and burglaries to increase dramtically.
I’ll read the whole article later. But I will add (in case the author doesn’t mention it) that it’s a good idea to live more than one gas tank away from any large city.
There’s a big crowd that does that. That’s why 93 is being widened from Manchester to the state line. And that’s why Rockingham County is the reddest part of the state, thank you very much.
You’d still be paying Massive taxes but at least you wouldn’t be living there. I wouldn’t live in Mass. on a bet. I’d move to Maine were I to leave here. It’s sorta like New Hampshire but a lot flatter and poorer with lots more room. People are nicer.
That’s what I like about my little village. 150 people, heavily armed, on one side of a lake with a dam. Better yet is the fact that there are other little towns all around with family and social connections for trading and aiding.
In a van, down by the river.
I never knew that about New England rocks.
Back home in eastern NC, you gotta learn how to grow stuff in piney, acidic, sandy soil. It can be done, just not easily. Helps to know a chicken farmer, if you know what I mean.
You’re making me feel better for not leaving the state. :)
Looks like the middle of Lake Superior would fit the bill.
Here on the southern coast, those states are more commonly referred to as the deep south.
But geography aside, I still don’t understand how weather and earthquakes figure into planning for an ecomonic collapse. These things can happen anywhere.
Only ONE answer to your question:
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.
Barrow, Alaska.
Woods and swamp 3 miles away from where I live, ain't going nowhere.
You noticed he steers you away from Florida right away.
Blam lives in Florida:)
We don't have basements in this area...the water table is too high. Often I hit freshwater planting fence posts.
Its home.
Amen, brother Michigander!
We got deer in the yard, fish in the creek, garden started in the greenhouse and next Sun. my boys will be driving me an alternate well. There are several with flowing wells around here and the “witch” says it’s only 9-13 feet down. Hey, hand pump would work in a pinch. Been there, done that.
20 acres of woods and an outdoor furnace. Far from fault lines and tsunamis. Occasional tornado touchdown is the worst natural threat. Need I say more?
Pass the cheese if you can
