Definitely not The Mid-South, don’t come down here, it’s a horrible place. Just horrible.
You should instead consider New Jersey, New York, Chicago, Boston, Denver, Seattle or Los Angeles.
Any of those would be a better bug out zone than anywhere near the TN/NC mountains. Take my word for it.
I agree!! South Carolina really sucks.. you don’t wanna come here!! North carolina or virginia are much nicer places
