7 Places to Survive the Inevitable Collapse That’s Coming

Fort Jefferson - Key West, Florida

Most of us who are heavily into prepping and everything that has to do with survival probably have an idea what we will be doing when the grid goes down, and that collapse happens.

We’ve made plans, have our emergency kits ready, and we are ready to bug out the minute the call comes.

However, while some of us are willing for a rudimentary level, we are not altogether sure where it is we are going to when, inevitably, the SHTF!

Many will bug out in the wilderness but do they know what that entails?

Some preppers may need a bit more direction and over on the following page we can give you some ideas where you might want to go to survive if your bug out or even bug in plans fall flat or crumble.

Plus, these shelters are built to withstand catastrophic events, and I don't know about you, but that's pretty reassuring if we're dealing with a bomb threat or another serious SHTF situation!

    I bet Dry Tortuga’s…as seen in the pic isn’t such a good place to be in hurricane season

    If their were a social break down, or maybe EMP shutdown, I would take me and my wife to the National Guard Armory, show them my Veterans ID and ask for protection. After I bury my guns!

    I love the Tortugas, but I couldn’t spend more than a couple of days there! You could live off fish and turtles but you’d be skewered when it comes to fresh water….

    Correct assessment, Margret. Still it’s one of my favorite camping spots.

    1) not near people, 2) in a temperate area, 3) not near people, 4) in a zone with the right soil conditions for sustainable farming, 5) not near people, 6) near a stable supply of fresh water, 7) as not near people as feasably possible.

    Better have a desalinization kit or hurricane season will be the least of your worries.

    Hey Die Hard!; how about some reality here! Who the hell is going to get to these types if places!?!

    Mountain range areas with streams that have fish and deer to hunt with very little people

    A terrain that is extremely unfriendly, here in the Mescalero Apache Mountains, where I already live. Water, lots of meat on the hoves, soil good for planting.

    I don’t understand why everyone is planning on going camping when the shtf. I’ll be staying home in my house where I’ve prepped for years.

  11. Brent M Briggs said:

    Outskirts of a bigger city. Plenty of supplies to forage and everyone will be too focused inward to really bother with further away resources – at first.

    I will continue staying where I am at anyone that I don’t personally know will be picket off 1 by 1 from 1000 yards . Why because I welcome death into my life a couple times already and I’m still doing just dandy

    It does no good now, they have published an article and now everyone knows

    Fort Jefferson, the one in the picture has no water on it. That’s why it’s called the dry tortugas

  15. Kurtis Reece said:

    I like this Island pictured here,
    But it doesn’t have a Fresh Water supply

  16. Matthew Schaefer said:

    Tortugas. No fresh water, hit by hurricanes, no supplies availible other than fish, 65 miles from nearest fresh water. Oh yeah. Not one room. Just empty cannon emplacements. Maybe the old powder room could be used as a storage room

  17. Steven Sanderson said:

    Yup, Pennsylvania with about twenty of my most heavily armed friends, come thru…..lol

    Temperate zones where there is suitable farming soil and near fresh water is where we already migrated to and settled hundreds of years ago. The locations of major cities full of people is based on that very same principle. There is a river near here with one cave about 100 feet in nearby. Everyone in the region knows or has heard about it. Everyone says if shtf theyre taking their family to that cave by the river. Hell there would be 30000 people in a blood bath over a damn hole in a rock. God help when bug outters find a farm with a garden fruit trees livestock a house and barn with a well. The owners would probably have a warm cup of coffee and hot buscuits welcoming them there. . . . . .NOT!

    Okay, i was speaking for myself. I have a lot more survivor training than most people given that i can make a four season shelter and know to purify water. (on an unrelated note, you are very right almost every US city is in what was once a fertile river area. look what we did to that) But hey, you kind of proved my point, that is exactly what you should be looking for. Maybe out here in the sticks it is different than where you live, but i hike pretty far into the woods and there are definately a few perfect places that most people can’t get to just by Google searching.

    Oh man, if martial law is declared under local governments in the case of EMP, you and yours will be told what to do and where you can go, assigned whatever task they wish for you, they will confiscate your supplies.. everything will ultimately be by way of force if there is noncompliance. Smart idea of yours to cache your weapons first. But I’d rather be free than controlled

  21. James M Running Wind said:

    Me neither, drones, incoming shells, you’re a sitting duck. Night beach storms, nope, I live in the Apache Mountains, deep in the interior, and to enter and come in, it’s is the most unfriendly, unforgiving terrain known in the west. It has fresh water flowing, game fish and meat on hoof, soil good for crops. I’m already here.

  22. James M Running Wind said:

    Not mention the critters that come out at night, scorpions, spiders, tarantulas, 3 different rattle snakes, 2 different vipers, poisonous lizzards. Foot travel at night isn’t good, unless your “experienced”.

    Ivan Martinez If they are stupid enough to let me in, defiance can work from the inside out also. Think about it.
