“The Northeast is a horrible place to go. Especially New Hampshire. The weather is awful, the winters are endless and the people are unfriendly, especially all the Massho out-of-staters. Whatever you do, stay away from New Hampshire.”

Yeah ... I second that. Keep out! Bad place to be.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta get back to reloading some more .308 and .50BMGs.

Not all of Florida is densely populated nor flat...there is lots of rural space with gentle rolling hills, forests, and rivers north of Orlando and throughout most of the Panhandle.

My situation exactly. I’m sure there are a few perfect niches left :-). Mine’s in the Northeast; some parts are not so crowded.

We are adjacent to State Game Lands, there’s decent fishing in the lake, and farmlands with cattle and corn. No large urban areas for 2+ hours. Proud to be ‘clinging’ to our God and Guns. Yes indeed.

The poster is not exaggerating about the rocks. I grew up in that state and worked on farms as a teen, worked on our own small crop fields too. The sound of a tractor plow grating off yet another massive rock while plowing a field is unforgettable. Horrible, horrible sound.

I have heard you can substitute animal meds, hit the vets office. Of course hubby and I need to run this by someone in the field to find out for sure.

We don't have basements in this area...the water table is too high. Often I hit freshwater planting fence posts.

You could get liquefaction real easy with heavy construction equipment.

Is that concrete ?

The basic things you'll need in a emergency or crises.. water, food, fuel for transportation, heating, cooking, and shelter.

New England farmers used to talk about how their fields grew more rocks than crops every year.

They built those famous stone walls from all the rocks they kept pulling from their fields.

Avoid country living - home invasions and robberies are too easy to pull off and will take place.

B.S. Maybe in Argentina, but not out here!

Really?? why not? maybe you never sleep.

The best location to live at during an economic collapse is Detroit, hands down.

Most likely you would never know the difference when it happens.

“Therefore even now, people who live in the country live in towns and villages....as old habits are hard to break (and I’m sure the zoning works that way too).”

That is because it is illegal to live/build anyplace other than a town, especially in Switzerland. Europeans cannot build on their farm, which is usually owned by the bank anyway. Very, very strict rules about land use.

I believe that the book Alas Babylon was set near the FL Panhandle. Springs were one of the benefits of surviving the aftermath of the nuclear fallout described in the book. Good choice.

or periodic torrential rainfall and flooding (Fargo, ND)?

Fargo, ND, Morehead, MN, Grand Forks,ND, and a host of smaller towns lie on what was the bottom of Glacial Lake Agassiz.

The problem isn't one of torrential rains so much as the incredibly flat landscape and the spring thaw.

After the Red River of the North gets out of its banks a couple feet of rise translates into a couple of miles coverage on either side of the river.

It is a seasonal thing, and it has been going on for a long time.

In general, North Dakota has a climate far colder than most of the Lower 48 (Except parts of Minnesota and some mountainous areas). We just got our power back on after 60+hours due to a spring blizard (I'm in the Northwest part of the state). While people much further south are starting to pick some of their early crops in their gardens. We still have six weeks before our last frost is history.
