The only real choice now besides dying is to get back off the road and away from society as far as possible and live your life.
Much of those states is too cold for many of us. At 58 years old with an autoimmune disorder and an Alabama native that would practically be a death sentence. Might as well just go ahead and die at home instead of trying to claw for survival in an ice cube.

I'll be damned. For some reason I always thought it was somewhere in the Appalachian Trail. Either way, same still applies but different location with a cabin in the woods.

I think that if you are not where you need to be and kitted up, very shortly, you will not get there. The time for thinking about it is over. The time for doing is now. Your mileage may vary.

At 59 I’m just gonna ride it out here in South Louisiana. 11 acres of my own, and around 100 or so with some like minded folks we have chickens, bees, deer, rabbits, know how to grow our own vegetables, one neighbor has a few head of cattle and a hog or two amongst us…………we won’t make till the end, but we can fight for a while.

Love the pictures, beautiful country...but I'm afraid I'd go nuts without a lake every 20 miles or so and a bunch of hardwoods

I'd add MN, WI, MI, NM, CO to that list.

Considering adding PA, ME, RI, CT, VT, NH.

A decade ago I would’ve put up a solid argument for NH. Right now, we’re still fine…….but the writing is on the wall.
I won’t be here after retirement. I had plans on someplace with better hunting, but always figured NH would be ‘home’. As time has gone on, that’s unlikely.

There are a lot of places in the US where a person could "get lost", but the reality of that doesn't line up well with the romanticism of it even under whatever SHTF scenario people envision. Eric Rudolph, George Robert Johnston, Uncle Ted, Forest Anon....some tiny number have done it but at a pretty high cost very few are willing to accept.

I don't think the US will continue on its current path but if it does, hiding in the wilderness will not be an option.

I wasn't saying someone should go feral. I meant there is alot of land that people don't have interest going to

Exactly. Funny reading all comments on where is best to flee to. If it comes to it (which I don't think will happen in my lifetime) I guess I'll die in the yard surrounded by a pile of hot brass.
I always heard that offense was the best defense. Why would we be the ones running?

I'm about as set as I can be, I guess. My thoughts on the matter is to be close enough to civilization to get what you need but far enough off the beaten path for anybody to pay much attention to.

I think this situation will last me as long as I need it to.

We have lakes at all elevations............all on public land

I don't live in the suburbs. But around here the Lexington urbanites have no interest in running around out in the countryside--and it's not without good reason. Most of Kentucky is rural. The rural folks really don't care much for the people in Lexington. It's been that way for a long, long time.

It's something you learn if you move to Lexington from the sticks--like I did back in the 70s.

I don't make it a point to tell the people out here that I moved here from Lexington. Nothing good comes from it.
