Generally I would say you need steady water and food. That probably means well water since you can't rely on a river/lake being clean when TEOTW comes. And it means you need to have some protein around. So either raise rabbits and goats or move into the trees where you have a shot at wildlife.

Good suggestions, but I should have added that it is for a few months survival and not the TEOTW! I will edit the original post. Thanks for the reminder. |

What state are you in. Makes a big difference. I live in MN. Water water everywhere. Just need to get away from people. Arizona: WATER SUPPLY is king.

Can you get there reliably when SHTF, and what if someone is already there?

Stay away from primary and secondary roads (i.e., fed and state highways).
Close to a small town, but not right next to it (e.g., 5 mi out). Since your time frame is only 6 months, I wouldn't be worried about soil quality and the ability to garden, but longer than that and you'll definitely want fairly decent soil to plant in. Avoid HOAs and/or oppressive county governments that restrict building or tax the crap out of you. Avoid military bases or other high value targets. ETA: RE: Nuke fallout. Check the following links, they lists nuke plants and likely fallout directions in case of an accident. link link 2 |

Quote HistoryI question this link. Shows a "nuclear attack" area of MY little farming town. I assure you, we are of no interest and I don't have a nuke plant in my town. There is barely a water treatment plant.... |

What to look for in a family BOL?
Nearby girl scout camp, or a women's institution of higher learning. [<<< sort of a oxymorman] |
