Southern California is the one of the best places in America to be homeless.

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.

Anywhere but a large city.

The feral yoots already have a stranglehold on most major cities. When TSHTF, it will only get worse.

Also. Check out any of FR’s great prepper threads on how to prepare for any crisis yet to come.

Hawaii has a huge population and it does not have a lot of room.[ BS.... lots of people in Waikiki maybe m but elsewhere there are lots of wide open spaces . Lots of work although fairly low paid , but if worse comes to worse you can totally live off the land and the sea in Hawaii and NEVER have to worry about freezing to death . Some places you can still buy rural subdivision land for under 10K per acre . Beat that anywhere .
Like Alaska, most supplies have to be either shipped in or flown in.[ true and including gasoline , but any enterprising and industrious can beat the system and get themselves self-sustainable , and their family , within a relatively short while . Of course folks with money can get there a whole lot quicker!] And one really bad tsunami could pretty much wipe Hawaii out. [ pure BS , tsunamis only affect a small area along the coastline . I wouldn’t want to be there after an asteroid strike in the middle of the Pacific though , but what are you really going to allow yourself to worry about ? ]

As long as you mention the New Madrid fault, you might as well mention volcanoes (Mt. St. Helens) as well as earthquakes (potential for a 9+ and associated tsunami) in the northwest. Then there’s the supervolcano in Yellowstone. Really, it’s a matter of choosing your poison. Do you want to face drought and wildfires, or baseball-sized hail, or hurricanes, or -40 weeks, or earthquakes and/or tsunamis, or periodic torrential rainfall and flooding (Fargo, ND)? Not to mention the people who live in various places.

I would say any place with a light population, mild weather, and plenty of high quality water.

That pretty much matches the Florida panhandle. There are a huge number of natural springs, both large and small. Most of it is well above sea level.

You can get by with only a small amount of food for a pretty long time but having bad water will make you sick quick.

You better know how to hunt and fish. Oh, and live somewhere that has ample hunting (trapping) and fishing.

Wow, that’s a huge statement. I’m attracted to NH because it’s the most freedom-oriented state in the Northeast, and the Northeast is where the jobs are.

I’m a bit concerned how much it varies by town though. In one town they have some good laws, in another, not so good at all.

There’s a lot to be concerned about. But I’ve been thinking that living in NH & working in MA might be the way to go for a few years.

The best place for me to reside, in the event of an economic collapse would be in your house.

I’ll live in your basement, I’m not picky.

Is it really a great idea to be so far from anyone?
