Just about every survivalist has a “bug-out” plan, a strategy for what to do when a survival crisis hits and it becomes necessary to move to a safer locale (or even to “bug-in”).
Less considered is where to go beyond “the camp” or some other predesignated safe space.
Is your bug-out location optimal for long-term survival? What obstacles and threats exist that would affect your quality of life? Where is the optimal place to go?
Those types of questions typically do not get asked, particularly if you already have a bug-out location in mind or in hand.
But knowing where to go in a survival situation or its aftermath is as important as knowing how to get there.

I can assure you, there is no place in Mississippi you want to be.
I would have thought mountains or something but ok
The best place to go to survive is go to the area you’re most familiar with
Idaho is the last place you want to go. Utah would be far better, it has a warmer climate for one.
I’ll take the smokey mountains over any other place
Caitlin Lyke
I have one that isn’t on the map…no I won’t tell you where it is.
California?
really?
too many people in the state, too few roads out and worst of all not enough water.
I’d take Minnesota over California,
Northern Michigan, also
The woods…
Wow … lots of places to look but the lack of mention of weather really is dubious. Doubtful I’d pick the Dakotas… even if there was cheap land.
Colorado
Never heard about NorCal have you, where it’s all country
Luke Duginske perhaps we need a different Menards
Any red state. Lol.
Wendy Anderson
Alabama
Idk, I like our plan lol
Luke Duginske aye. And we have a plethora of cannon fodder
My main idea is get to a boat. Harder to attack a boat by surprise, and easy to defend if you know your way around a boat. Sail boats are best. Weather is not always cooperative, but the wind WILL pick up again. You run out of gas on the water…
Shhhh…let’s keep that a secret.
Well now we know where everyone is going. That’s where I won’t be
Whoever made that list is a absolute idiot. Seriously California,Texas,and Arizona would be terrible locations. Highly populated,low water California ? What the hell? Texas sounds good until you think about 3/4 of the state has sparse water,and the state has major cities filled with immigrants who know how to survive by killing a d robbing you. Arizona? Seriously correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the majority of Arizona dry? Like desert dry? Not to mention California and it’s earthquakes.

Minnesota is a bad choice for surviving nuclear war, the winds would drive all the fallout from the first strikes on the Dakota silos right to you.
Yall that’s for the liberal survivalist.
Stay home. Put your current resources into making it defensible. Much cheaper than hitting the road.
I concur. Idaho is terrible. There are 49 better places to go.
Gabrielle Anderson ya gotta love Montana!
some of the states listed as good are to dry are to cold are both
This article was bs. Stay the hell away! If you chose to live in an area other than one listed in this story you aren’t welcome here! We will defend our resources so perhaps you should arm yourselves, stock up on supplies and bug IN!
lol Texas ya stay the a way we do not need any one here
Being originally from Mississippi I would disagree. I wouldn’t put it in top 5 but still. Plenty of water,mostly free of fowl weather,and plenty of crop growing capabilities.
These articles are always good for a laugh.
Me too but I’m afraid way to many hilljacks would have the same thing in mind
You hit this one on the head, I’m thinking Pacific Northwest, lots of islands, lots of water(2 rainforests) very underpopulated mountains and coastline areas. Very rarely has extended times of freezing weather too. Hunting and fish is is abundant as well.
An obvious place is a place to expect an enemy collection operation.
I will trust the hand of God if it ever comes to that.
He has never let me down.
So I’m guessing no welcome basket? Lol
Annnnd predominantly coastal regions where there’s already a metric f*ckton of people because of favorable climate.
“Let’s go where everyone else goes.”
This is either the greatest troll ever, by some prepper who wants to seriously thin the herd by spreading misinformation, or the true-to-life game plan of a mental midget.
Not all of them are bad choices. Most wouldn’t be my top picks. California,New York,and Illinois would be the last places I would go though. Weighing all the pro and cons. My mind goes toward the mid South. I’m talking southern Arkansas, northern Louisiana,northern Mississippi, Alabama,and maybe as far up as Tennessee if your knowledgeable of that area. Mild climates compared to the rest of the country. Few natural disasters. Plenty of WATER AND RESOURCES. Plus the south is well known for coming together regardless of what people in the rest of the country think. I mean just look at the Louisiana floods and the Cajun navy
I live in BC Canada..
Alaska NWT Yukon is where I’d be going..
Immediately lost me after immigrants knowing$#%&!@*, really think that when$#%&!@*hits the fan it’s only gonna be immigrants that will want to harm you?
Vancouver BC Canada right now is having a huge Salt Shortage, for the this winter season.
You Tube it and see who’s fighting over the salt..
Just saying..
Haha yeah get ad close to the populas as possible without being in the middle of em!! Idiots!! No thanks!
Iowa should be on the list, IMO.
I second that. I live in Idaho. You definitely don’t want to come here.
You obviously don’t know Arizona that well. It’s not all dry. Where I live I AZ we get an average of 10 plus feet of snow and 8 to 12 in of rain a year.
nope, it’s terrible here, everyone needs to stay away
Joe Rodriguez I’m not saying they are the only ones. However immigrants know more about survival than the average person in America. They have endured various regimes and disasters prior to immigrating in lots of cases. With that train of thought I would think they would be ahead of the curve so to speak. I’m sure lots of non prepared Americans will follow however those same non prepared Americans will wait much longer on the government bail out before doing for themselves.
Brian that’s why I said correct me if I’m wrong. The only parts I ever see on TV are fairly dry
Jeff Ovington I agree with what your saying. You are acclimated to those seasons. That should be a major factor for everyone. If your in a warm climate I suggest to stay away from areas with extreme cold. Same for the opposite
