    What can you expect from Joel Skousen (a mormon)? For sure he will put it
    UTAH meca as the first santuary. Not to mention that he his making tons of
    $ with spreading fear everywhere. Instead of placing so much effort and
    resources in trying to protect your self from your fellow men, it would be
    a better investment to be nice with everybody, so in hard times, people
    will take care of you. Sorry for my hardness. But having been a mormon
    for so many years, and knowing very well how good are they for creating
    profitable business, I just can’t stand to see how people is being robbed
    with those multi-million fortress type of projects.

    A friend once told me he drove through the interior of Utah for three hours
    without seeing another car or person! He began to get concerned about this
    realizing that if he broke down or had any kind of trouble he was on his
    own for a long time!

    I live in Europe on an island where the population density is 10 people per
    square kilometre. Also if something would happen we are self sustainable as
    a community. We have really low crime rate and the island eksports 50% of
    its food products, which means that the farmers here could feed the people
    and even make profit if the connection to the outside world would be lost.
    That is why I don’t need to prepare myself as we are quite desolate island
    and if something happens on the mainland it wouldn’t influence our way of
    life as we are just so unreachable and we would still have a society which
    functions 🙂

    So the point I wanted to make was that you just need to find a place where
    the community is just superb and ready to help eachother :)

    “Hate to break it to you but the odd and even number thing is wrong.”

    Oldwest, I have driven from Boston to L.A. and Alaska to Miami and darn
    near every route in between, the numbering scheme on Interstate highways is
    Even; east and west and Odd; north ans south then 200, 300, and such go
    around or thru metro areas. Now sometimes a part of an Interstate is going
    to seem numbered wrong but look farther along and the main direction will
    always fit the convention as stated above.

    I think the book Strategic Location is a poor theory for a place to live.
    Although I do agree with the idea of staying away from nuclear plants. The
    objective of the best place to live should be the ability to grow food,
    temperate climate, possibly remoteness but not too remote. The north east
    is a fantastic location. Once one of the most vibrant areas of North
    America is almost forgotten. Don’ t bother making a decision based on an
    attack. These days it’s a hopeless effort to flee from these calamities.
    Sites should be chosen for there beauty, food availability, basic living
    and the prairies fails on most of these vital points.Trust me I live in the
    prairies and know it’s time to move.

    It is a great book, don’t agree with all his assumptions he seems to down
    play all the nuclear target sites in Montana, Utah and Colorado due to
    missile sites and military bases there but overall excellent. Happy to be
    hiding up here in the Northwest.

    I personally love the fact that my specific area is not mentioned anywhere
    in this book. It’s mostly overlooked (by everybody) today, which won’t
    change as a result of this book. In fact, this part of the country is
    actually listed in the book as a poor choice.

    Regardless, I think this specific area is a great spot now (low growth, low
    unemployment, low cost of living, and low crime, mixed with well-paid jobs
    and decent business opportunities) and will likely remain so (for various
    reasons, including the fact that it will likely remain overlooked) after
    any collapse. I selected this spot after ruling out a great many other
    areas around the country. It has worked out well and my assessment for now
    and the future remains unchanged.

    By the way, I wonder whether book author Joel Skousen’s top rating for Utah
    had anything to do with his association with the Mormon Church of Jesus
    Christ of Latter-day Saints headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.

    He should have shown Alaska, what is that states rating? I’ll see if this
    is an ebook also. For most people though, I really think if you really have
    to relocate, northern Michigan would be the best place to flee to.

    Strategic Relocation by Skousen is the biggest piece of ‘get you killed
    fast’ government disinformation that you could possibly buy into. The
    nuclear data is tremendously out of date – and is relatively unimportant
    now, anyhow. No one is going to nuke the breadbasket they need, beyond a
    couple of major cities. Places he rates high, like Utah and Colorado, are
    either impossible to survive in without petroleum heat, or high guarded by
    survivalists who are already entrenched there anyhow. Combined with known
    high-focus government awareness of ‘where the good spots are’, and the fact
    that NDAA made it possible to initiate martial law to simply take all that
    you’ve ‘stored and prepared’ for, you are in effect, the greatest
    storehouse the government could ever want FEMA to have, without them having
    to pay for it. There will be a LOT of dead pillaged fools in some
    beautiful, rugged, pristine areas, if any collapse comes – and people like
    Skousen can take a lot of credit for it, too. If you want to survive, go
    where they do NOT expect survival to be easy. Not to a place where your
    Grizzly Adams and Jeremiah Johnson fantasies will never come to light. Most
    potential invaders also know what you profess – and they actually train for
    ‘asset reallocation’, just like our troops do. If only DHS and FEMA would
    come clean, and tell you the ‘inside plans’ of what they already plan to
    do, in event of a catastrophe, you’d be terrified. There’s a reason why
    they request quotes on bodybags by the millions, but you don’t see anything
    on water storage, purification, cots, food stores, etc. Because you ARE
    their stockpile. Look at what they AREN’T buying, then ask ‘why’? There’s a
    reason Denver International was built, there’s a reason why Colorado is the
    ‘new D.C.’ in the works, and there’s a reason why they predominantly put
    economic and administrative functions in Kansas City – because they KNOW
    you are going to Colorado – and they want to be in the middle of it to
    still lead, once it collapses.

    I actually know of a retired USMC Lt. Col. who did this retire to a retreat
    in the High Sierras. A lot of seasonal weather extremes and a great
    distance from any doctor (many hours). When I had a gall bladder attack at
    3 am and was incapacitated, the hospital/surgeon was only 3 miles away.
    Good luck on your personal relocation.

    Location, location, location. Great concept if you also when, where and
    how the s-tstorm is or would hit you. I asked my dad (USN at Pearl Harbor
    and in Germany just before WW2) didn’t people know war was coming and why
    they didn’t get out. His response was that people knew war was coming, but
    they didn’t know when.

    If you are retired, you probably have medical problems and if married,
    there is a high probability that one of you does. So are you going to
    relocate? Are you going to leave the kids and grandkids behind in your
    life?

    Your personal survival is largely affected by the triad of physical/mental
    health, skills, and equipment. Work on them. Throw in a dose of knowing
    to not drink and drive, hang out at bars until 2 am, avoid smoking, and
    fasten your seat belt and you are more up the food chain than if you
    dropped everything and moved to the country.

    Remember this: The road that leads from your retreat to the city also
    leads from the city to your retreat.

    i find it impossible to believe that someone as well rounded, well
    educated, and well read as you, Cody, would pronounce it “nukular.”

    Vegas brings Nevada down, lack of water, Vegas poops won’t make it past
    Tonopah, California wont make it past the Sierras and the nukes, N Nevada
    close to Idaho/Eastern Oregon. Groom lake to Death Valley, well it will be
    death valley.

    Looks like an excellent book, very in depth.
    I don’t know how much copies sell for in the U.S., but prices start at
    £55.00 here in U.K.

    I finally broke down and picked this up – It’s great knowing about threats
    that you might not have known. I find it interesting that the areas around
    nuclear target sites are not as large as you might think.. I wonder how
    accurate some of these old weapons really are though. Love your channel –
    nice to see the kids paying attention and having fun!

    How the heck do you get info on nuclear missile sights w/ out top govt
    clearance?? I find it hard to believe that the govt. would allow any
    accurate info on this to be publicly disseminated.

    I don’t care what bunker you live in or the supplies you have horded …
    your toast! It would be better for you to live a clean/decent life than
    bow down to the Tyrant and become a global slave. Fight for Liberty,
    Freedom, and the Constiutio111

    This is a great book if your thinking of moving i recommend it & Joel
    Skousen is great to listen too well worth looking up some of his
    interviews, he is a very clever guy with loads of useful info…
