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.
The most important criteria here under consideration are detailed as follows :
Low population density (40 people per sq. mile or less)
Distance to major/minor cities (50+ miles away)
Distance to interstate highways
Access to your property or region by automobile or foot traffic
FEAR OF THE WRONG SORTS OF PEOPLE
Low violent crime rate
Low poverty rate
Low government housing region
Low renter/home owner ratio
Greater homogeneity ethnic and religious populations
FEAR OF ENVIRONMENT & RESOURCE SCARCITY
Distance to nuclear power plants (100+ miles away)
Low natural disaster risk including flooding, earthquake and hurricanes
Easy access to fresh water
Abundance of wild game
Dense forest cover
Adequate soil textures
Adequate rainfall
Low drought risk
FEAR OF ECONOMIC CONCERNS
Higher job growth
High abundance of non-renewable natural resources available for extraction (coal, oil, natural gas, metals and minerals, lumber, etc.)
Higher educated citizens
Local farmers markets
Locally owned groceries and supply chains
Likelihood of neighbors being preppers themselves
Communities more likely to function if decentralized
FEAR OF MARTIAL LAW AND MILITARY
Distance to military bases (50+ miles away)
Number of standing garrisons & barracks within a day’s march
Distance from urban centers where unrest will be common and higher priority
Access via roads for armored columns and convoys
