The best place to be now

I am not speaking now where the best place to be now financially. I am speaking of the best place to be physically. We are looking now likely given the way things are going at something at least temporarily as bad or worse than the Great Depression worldwide. Going into the many many causes of this or assigning blame doesn't keep people alive through it, even though that will be necessary for the world to come out the other side in one piece eventually.

No. I'm speaking now about where physically is the best place to survive what this all looks like now for those who can financially
afford it or who feel unsafe where they presently physically are.

Strangely enough third world countries that use almost no electricity but have abundant farms and clean water sources would be an option. For example, I've heard of many college educated young people going to Belize and Guatemala when they lost their professional jobs when their county or city employer went bankrupt. It is much less expensive to live there than here for 1 month, 6 months or even 1 year until things settle down a little.

Another choice would be to go where there is plenty of water and farms where it costs less to heat ones home, especially where the population is small in forested areas where one can get a permit to cut their own wood for under $50 for the winter from the forest service. In this way you gather the wood, build your fire in your wood stove and save thousands of dollars heating your home. However, unless you are familiar and safe with Chain saws and cutting down dead trees I wouldn't do this.
Also, unless you are cutting down dead logepole pines most wood needs to be split with a wedge and mall or a gas powered splitter.


Cities, generally, except in the wealthiest areas are going to become much more dangerous as millions of people lose their jobs, their unemployment compensation runs out and then become very desperate in trying to feed and house their families. Don't wait until you are homeless and all your money has gone to move to a better situation for example around family that can all help each other for example on a family farm where all could eat and help each other.

Create a strategy with all the elements necessary for physical, emotional and mental and if possible financial survival. Be sure to plug in as many new variables that you see coming down the pike in order for you and your family to survive what appears to be coming now!
