My vote is north central Missouri/south central Iowa. Got everything you need there and low population while 3 hours from any major city.
This was posted before, exactly the same article.
Since I already posted there I’ll refrain from this one.
How’s the weather like in these areas? How’s peace and order?
Texas. First, last and always. We’ve been fighting off the Mexicans for 180 years and we’re pretty good at it if the feds get the hell out of the way. And to anticipate the criticism, “Mexicans” means them what ain’t s’posed to be here.

The midwest is good from the perspective of having plenty of water and land that is conducive to farming, but the population density is higher than the NW and what do you use for heating in the winter? The NW on the other hand lacks water in many places, the land is harsh, and there’s a risk of forest fires and earthquakes.
There is no perfect place.
I’m staying put. Michigan is already in a state of economic collapse yet we’ve learned to survive here. The small rural towns are ideal. Plus we don’t have to deal with earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, or strong storms. We also have relatively mild winters.
The UP of Michigan. 4.5 hours away from any big city. Very isolated in the Keweenaw. Which is actually an island, only two ways across, by boat or one bridge, or the frozen ice in winter. Plenty of wild life, tons of land, plenty of fresh water. Only minus tons of snow, long winter. The pluses, tons of snow and long winters, keeps the riff raff out ;)
Texas or Northern VA.
Northern VA — because the gubmint will take care of its own, but it is lower tax, lower regulation than DC and MD.
Texas — because Texans know how to get it done.
For the most part people would be wise to stay put as long as they aren’t in a large urban area.
Less than 3000 people in Keweenaw county.
Stay close to God where ever you roam.
We live in the suburbs of a small (<150,000) southern New England city - not the optimal location, but is where I work (good job), and near like-minded, gun-owning Christian-conservatives.
Have 1/3-acre I set up for growing lots of veggies/berries to can for the winter, near many good water sources, small house easy to heat (wood if need be).
Good deer and small game pop. nearby.
Would love to live in a region better suited for survival purposes - but I don't, so money and energy go into preparing THIS place as well as possible.
Is the population that low??? I knew there weren’t many here, but, I had no idea it was that low.
It's as rural as anything out west (I'll have a 6 million acre backyard), the population is libertarian leaning and I could survive isolated if necessary a long time
Basically the best places is anywhere that's not a city and anywhere that doesn't have a “diverse” population.
There are at least 5 counties in Michigan with less than 5000 people and around 10 with less than 10,000.
I’m not going to tell you because we don’t want you all moving here. LOL!!
Being a lover of Jesus, I hope to escape to heaven if it gets too bad.
Typical Midwest winters though not nearly as harsh as farther north. There’s plenty of wood, water, fertile ground, population is very low and stable.
Ditto, especially north of I 10 and east of San Antonio.
