I’m staying right here in Michigan. In the event of an economic collapse it won’t really matter where you go if you’re looking for employment. I wouldn’t live in Detroit in the best of times.
Hunting and fishing opportunities abound and the soil is plenty fertile for growing food. The climate isn’t terrible unless you’re used to something milder. We don’t get the strong storms of the plains, our flooding problems are pretty minor, no earthquakes, and our brush and forest fires are mostly restricted to the north where there is sparse population.
You’re making me feel better for not leaving the state. :)
Amen, brother Michigander!
We got deer in the yard, fish in the creek, garden started in the greenhouse and next Sun. my boys will be driving me an alternate well. There are several with flowing wells around here and the “witch” says it’s only 9-13 feet down. Hey, hand pump would work in a pinch. Been there, done that.
20 acres of woods and an outdoor furnace. Far from fault lines and tsunamis. Occasional tornado touchdown is the worst natural threat. Need I say more?
There are a bunch of small towns that are surrounded by farm land and that is about the best place to be if it all goes south.
