Where To Locate Your Shelter/Retreat in WW3

There are a lot of factors to consider and all of them have a bearing on the outcome

These places are not recommended as “bugout” destinations.

These criteria describe a model to plan for a relocation of your shelter or retreat as a permanent move. A static position to hold out during the storm. It’s a place you have decided to make your stand in. I would not advise simply picking a place you want to travel to when it gets bad. You could find yourself a refugee there with even worse options than in the place you left behind.

A perfect vault shelter is hard to build. Decide on the best location within your means before you commit to break ground.
