I saw this list AFTER I purchased my 12 acres on an entire finger of a plateau in Central, rural KY. It fits it almost precicely:

You don’t need to move to the unexplored wilderness in Alaska. You don’t need to move into the heart of the Arizona desert. You just need to relocate to an area that is more lightly populated than a big city. The area you select should meet the following minimum criteria:

It is not on a major freeway or interstate.
It is at least several hundred feet above sea level.
It is surrounded by farm land, dairy cows, and other typical farm livestock such as horses, pigs, sheep, goats, and chickens.
It has a history of good average rainfall (not too much rain or too little rain).
It has a reasonable supply of trees and forest timber land.
It has a few nearby manufacturing facilities of any size.
Its residents still have the right to own firearms to protect themselves.
It has short mild winters.

And our chickens lays 5 eggs a day, and two thirds of them are too young to lay.

Thing is, I ask myself what the day after a Romney victory would look like, and I don’t like the answer. It would probably not be any better. But to be clear, that is juxtaposed against things tanking fast if Obama had won re-election.

I don’t believe there is a human solution to our dilemma, and it is worldwide. It’s gonna leave a mark. A worse mark than WWII left.

EMP might be part of it, but I have an early 60’s tractor and bicycles. We’ll get by, albeit challenging. And that is assuming we don’t have to defend it against others. I don’t expect a “road warrior” or “The Road” scenario, but I think it will get pretty bad, regardless of who wins the election.
