The Best States to Head to When All Hell Breaks Loose

best-places-to-bug-out-in-the-united-states

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.

To find out one writer's opinion on where the optimal places to head in a survival situation are, check out the next page.

    Haha most populated cities where the attacks are more common. I’m good. I’ll sit right where I am with my AR.

    Haha WV seems as good of a place as any. Summers aren’t too bad, winters aren’t too bad. You can stay out of the flood plains in the mountains. Crops grow well

    I think going away from the cover of the Colorado mountains would be a ridiculous move. We would have to fight like the taliban..

    You need to have land that gives you terrain advantage. It can be achieved several ways but natural elevation difference is easy. It’s much more tiring to fight uphill than it is downhill. After that you just need enough secure area to sustain food. Indoor growing becomes necessity at higher elevations and northern climates. Chickens and rabbits are easy for meat and reproduce fast. Tomatoes are easy and create lots of seeds. Potatoes can grow and regrow. If you narrow it down to the basics you can play terrain advantage anywhere really. In the mountains and heavily wooded areas you deal with threats you don’t normally come across in the flatlands. Mountain lions, bears, assortments of smaller bastards that kill and eat small game.

    I prefer flat land near a water source. Animals like water and I like animals. I like to be able to see threats before they become a problem so I can choose to deal with them. If firearms are moot and all ammo is gone. Glad I know how to use recurves. Even with firearms relevant a bow is quiet. Anyone comes sniffing around and you catch them off guard it will be mostly quiet if you’re a good marksman.

    Bible does say go to the mountains when it starts 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

    16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

    I don’t have to move. I have enough ammo for all of those who come to hurt my family. We all know how to shoot too!

    The book “Whispering Whale” is a good read. The last chapter is out there, but the rest of the book shows some possibilities of why staying put may not be an option.

    I think I will stay right here in Alaska. It’s been pretty good to me these past 42 years.

    I will definitely be doing just opposite of what that map is showing. It will be imminent death at most of those places

  19. Doug Tuna Can Weir said:

    I believe location has a lot to do with exactly what kinda hell is breaking loose. In some cases your map is fine. In others youre dead or captured.
