Actually Maine and New York upstate and Pennsylvania offer lots of good survival locations and fun places to live whether SHTF or not.
Can be completely self sufficient as many have done for 200 years. Colder in the winter and cooler in the summer. Live away from the main freeways and nobody will know you are there or bother you if SHTF. Still close enough to Washington DC, New York, Cleveland Clinic, and many other cities drive or fly. Kentucky and Appalachia is too rugged so nobody moving in, near 100% white in the hills. Ozarks have several large cities nearby (Saint Louis, Kansas City, Little Rock) and Mexico Reconquista forces flooding into NE Arkansas and elsewhere. Kentucky is Number 1 in Horses and number 3 in autos with a lower unemployment. I am starting to think Eastern Kentucky may be better (Appalachia). I read his book on Financial Privacy in the 1980s. He makes some perceptive comments about the Ozarks as refuges in case SHTF and generally high quality of life.
