Just about every prepper has a “bug out” strategy, a plan in place for what to do when a survival crisis takes place and it's vital to move to a safer location (or even bug in).
Some may not consider where to go beyond “the camp” or another predesignated safe space.
So, will your bug out location cut it for long-term survival? And what obstacles and threats will exist in the world that could affect your quality of life? What is the optimal place to head to?
These types of questions are not asked often enough, especially if there's already a bug out location planned out.
However, knowing where to go in a pivotal survival situation or post-collapse is vital as knowing how to get there.
To discover what one man's opinion is on where the optimal places are to head in a survival situation as well as the best states, check out the following slide.

I’m surprised my great state of Alaska didn’t make the list. When SHTF the best place to be is away from everyone else. Year round water supply, huntable lands, and enough resources for your fam. I just try and think like a guy living in 1000 bc. Alaska is worth researching friends!
Mike, as ideal as that would be, maybe it didn’t get listed because it’s likely not going to be an option to travel to once shtf. Being in Missouri, it would take way too long to get there, with many dangers along the way.
I didnt exactly agree with some if these states either…
California? Come on shtf and everyone in LA is going north… thats alot of people
Whoever write this has obviously not met true “appellation folk”.
I believe living in the Missouri ozark area is a safe a place as any. I have year round hunting, I’m 3 miles from the lake, so plenty of fishing and water I can purify if needed.
Even tho it is south of the Missouri River. But then again, it mentions Texas as a safe place, and it’s south also. But here I know is safer than Texas, I lived in Texas 50 years.
Lol
Lol
In a NATO/WARSAW conflict Cali/Wash/Oregon are going to get lit up by China first, suprised Mn or Wisc werent on the list 10,000+ lakes 2 great lakes, easy access to Canada, i could fo on but you get it.
At that point we will be migrating. As humans once did.
How many nuke plants within a 500 mile radius in your area?
Oh damn that’s a good point
I think great lakes region and above near Canada is cool
Not even close this list half are s**t
True. But there were less humans then, easier to do so. Now most anywhere you go there’s bound to be someone in the way.
People, you see where they commented this was the writer biased?
Mcdonalds
You think he possibly means “Appalacian.”
Lol wrong
I’m in the Smokies. I could disappear with my family in a couple of hours and survive indefinitely.
Plenty of game and resources.
Half the people wouldn’t survive their first winter in Alaska.
It’s hard, I’ll give you that. I’ll take my chances with the frontier though. Haha I bet it would be harder in a metropolitan area.
personally found this article a little amusing as it is a map of the nuclear power plants in this country.
The guy who originally created the idea of the safest place to live moved to the Falkland Islands, several years later he lost a home and several family members killed in the attack.
It’s a long walk i guess
Seems possible with Trump running the show.
It seems like the red dots are in the heavily populated areas and the wester plains are wide open.
Get to the Burger Town!
Ladue, Mo.

Stop putting this crap out there. Only cowards run. Prepare to hold your ground. Everyone I talk to is getting really pissed off. Not only will we Survive…AmeriCans THRIVE!
Clueless as to the spots in Iowa and Wisconsin. Who makes up these ‘scenarios’ because most of ’em suck.
You don’t want to be in eastern nebraska if something bad happens. That’s where the majority of the people live. And if the power goes out and there’s no food, you’re in trouble.
Thats before all the hillbillies come in and shoot everything . Kinda like deer season now except 200 times worse
Haha. Yeah…like there aren’t 50,000 more people thinking the same thing!
Joe Burchett, I guarantee that I know places you’ve never heard of and won’t find on any map.
But, the people who would retreat to my mountains in a collapse are not the same type of people as the ones in urban areas.
Where depends on what SHTF.
run to the hilllllllllllssss, run for your liiiii eeeee iiiffffffe
Total bullshit list.
Some of the places as picks I would never ever go to again,plus more to say on this
I plan on the vast California dessert.
I plan on the vast California dessert.
Be prepared to get eaten alive in Alaska during the warm months by mosquitoes.
I’ve lived here for 30 years. No problem
Think I will just stay home
And protect what I’ve worked for
Who ever came up with this does not even have a clue most of the places that was listed are first strike nuclear targets. The safest places will be KY,WV and the west side of the Appalachian mountains.
Where is Hawaii??!!
Mistake #1. ..Never divulge your plans….ever.
