True, but it's going to be easier living where you can soot a deer when you need one without attracting too much attention. Let's face it; the criminals, the lazy and those unused to it will not migrate to where it's cold. The South will be full of refugees from the weather in an economic collapse.

I would suggest, if you have the experience and ability, living in states like Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, Wyoming , Montana, Idaho and Alaska.

Yeah I’m staying here in Michigan where we’re used to hardship.

No, it wouldn't be smart to come South. If there is no electric you will die in this heat. Stay up North.

I’m looking at the town of Brookings, OR. Southwestern OR, still conservative, best weather and growing season in the state. Off the main refugee route and backed by a wilderness area. Small town but large enough to have the necessary amenities.

A good spot to go rural.

It gets really cold in winter in some of the southern states, too. Here, in Tennessee, we still have to cut firewood and keep a woodstove available to be used in winter. Also, life without air conditioning in summer would be - - - whew!!!

Economic meltdown? Here in Maine we won’t know the difference anyway.

I might have to start considering feeding the wolves and coyotes long pork if herds of starving retards from the city start coming out, holding their rifles sideways gangsta style, stomping around my tree stands looking for deer.

Didn't you see Fargo? =)

I’m sticking to rural CT. We’re not too close to any interstates, and most the urban urchins will be thinking of heading south. Plenty of woods around (right next to a big state forest), and water as well. Already building up our gardening skills and like you said, we know how to hack the weather when we lose power for week or two in the dead of winter (which happens more often than you’d think). Summers are very pleasant with only maybe 5-6 days of real sweltering.

Not ideal with the population density, as I think northern NH, VT, ME or NY would be best, but oh well. My family has lived in town for over 40 years and we know a lot of people.

Vermont is a socialist state to be avoided in good times and bad.
