Problem is, I don’t think a lot of these countries will allow refugees. Unless your family is loaded with money when the arrive, they might not be able to settle or even stay for a long period of time.

“I happen to live in Gwinnett county, GA,”

Me too and our District, #7 which is most if not all of Gwinnett County is one of the most conservative districts in the state of GA. Talk about Red.

On a related note, my favorite OT book puts the whole thing in perspective: Ecclesiastes

Australia likely wouldn’t take you unless you brought a scarce skill, a high level of monetary resources, or political influence. They most CERTAINLY would not allow you to bring ANY weapons whatsoever.

I’m staying here; it doesn’t mean I have to succumb to the government.

True dat. Anyone who entertains thoughts of leaving the USA after a collapse should leave now. I certainly don't want them in the way.

Where are you going to go? Nowhere.

Why would any country allow an influx of spoiled demanding folk in? I can hear the arguments: they screwed up their country now they want to break ours....

The only thing I can compare it to is the Depression. Except this would be a lot meaner and nasty.

I would withdraw to the country at a little plot I have. Its not very defensible tho and I do imagine bands of marauding folks having to be fought with. Same with the principle residence. And I would need a well and some way to power it. That assumes that all resources are cut off, which I doubt would ultimately happen.

But I do not know if we can ever truly survive...the vast majority of us have never had to live stripped of our culture and conveniences. If we get knocked back 150 yrs, I don’t remotely have the skills to survive. Wife and i don’t have a mule, don’t have access to a mule and wouldn’t know how to plow, straight or otherwise.
Lots of folks in the same boat, I suspect.

Same here. I’m ex-canadian and have no regrets of leaving that socialist country. Funny. I escaped socialism and now I’m knee-deep in this crap due to a crap p-resident.

I don’t get this part where you run away from a fight. i work in a super-blue city, and no one but me decides to run me out. Not fags, not liberals...I decide when I head out.

By your reply it seems to me that you flew through the article, because if you had you would have noticed that Daniel Mitchell is writing about the economic perspective, not guns in case you haven’t noticed.

This guy is a complete idiot. Good luck trying to get a job in Australia. My brother in law is ex Aussie military and he was sent to the bottom of the job list when he returned there recently because of the time he spent in the U.S. He came back to the U.S.

Also a six pack of beer will run you about $24 US.

Good luck!

Where will I go?
More than likely the cemetery.
LFOD.

Me too. Hope I can go out fighting.

The idea of roaming bands of zombies looking for someone to support them is probably unrealistic. They will stay in the urban areas and kill each other wholesale....like they do now. By the time the food runs out, the gas will be gone.

One of my favorite survival stories involves a guy who found a Home Depot largely untouched. He grabbed a rototiller and seeds but noticed the vending machines had been sacked.

I’m certain that I saw it posted here on FR. Put me in the ‘properly envious’ column. We are starting to discuss possible retirement locations, but it will be another 12 years or so.

> Where Will You Go if America Collapses?

This is the last place on Earth that I know of where there are people willing to stand up and fight for their right to be free. We are rapidly approaching a tipping point where the overbearing government will overreach to the point where even the armed forces and police will be divided.

We will probably stay, because I believe the country will be more free as a result of any such struggle. If I miscalculate and it is not free, then perhaps we are closer to the end of all things and the Day of the Lord than I had originally thought.

At that point, I will hide where ever I can and wait for the Lord’s return.

“Perhaps because of an irrational form of patriotism, I’m fairly certain that I will always live in the United States and I will be fighting to preserve (or restore) liberty until my last breath.”

I guess you flew through a little faster than me because you missed this part.

Want to make sure I've done everything within my means to avoid that before it gets to that point.

Can't make the hearings at the Capitol this week, but I'll be there 10AM for the protest on Friday.

Well, we love it here, but the ONE thing I miss about Seattle is being able to walk through the woods in the summertime, worrying only about nettles (rarely a concern) and squshing a banana slug. Here you need bug spray and long pants, but it’s best to avoid ANY flora touching your skin. Chiggers (aka turkey mites) are the worst.

But that is but one negative. And I cleared the woods during the cold months so you can meander without worrying about it now.

Oh, and if God had not graced us with air conditioning I would HATE it here. ;-)
