I prefer to live out my movie fantasy and start with Escape from LA (downtown)if I survive I can survive anywhere.

If you can stand the cold during the winter and can do work by cutting firewood for the winter, come live in Fairview Michigan, it has a small population and therefore almost all locals are friendly. You don’t have to pay much to get a deer license as in the sector they want to get rid of the deer because of a disease going around. It is very rural and still has a gas station in Mio, which is another small town.

I live in an area of Michigan where we get snow every year, but we hardly ever use electricity for heat and always have plenty of firewood. I live on the outskirts of what can hardly be called a village, it’s so small. Everyone knows everybody and I doubt that people would try to harm each other. In fact I believe that we are a strong community that would stand together, but people do change when lives are threatened.

LOVE a suggestion. I have a son. My only child has some disabilities. Want hom out if where we are asap.Cant find where to go.Any help is appreciated.Just want to protect him.

Same for Northern Idaho, plus it’s overwhelmed with California hipster liberals who have driven up the prices of homes and apartments so that they are unaffordable.
Drugs are a huge problem here (mostly meth), and in Montana.
So far Eastern Oregon is looking good for a bug out location, no sales tax, friendly locals, affordable prices, and the area is not being overwhelmed by rich liberals who want to change their new state into a replica of California.
