Map: Where You Don’t Want to Be When It Hits the Fan

- Mac Slavo - ShtfPlan

"... get out of the US while you can ..."
Say what? Let's see, the world's financial wizard (USA) directly or indirectly causes every country on the planet to experience worse times than they already are experiencing and you suggest I go there? If you have bothered to looked around, Americans are blamed for almost all the mischief on the planet and already several groups are kidnapping and/or executing these hostages. And you suggest I should join these fool ex-pats?

First of all, the government will cut or eliminate transfer payments, but will deliver supplies to your Fusion(?) centers. The sheep will move on their own to these centers. Why would anyone expend monies, resources and manpower tracking down some fools in the field? The fools will either make it on their own and thereby cost the government nothing, die off out of stupidity or come dragging their sorry carcass in to the Fusion center in hopes of a meal.

You also tend to forget that the supposed guards have families and will be loyal to them before being loyal to a bureaucracy. Food will only be delivered to the centers and that will be by military. Guess where the guard's families will be?

But you are entitled to you opinion about moving overseas. Why are you still hanging around? Pretty soon, it will be too late.

Don't act like a soldier and pick home court advantage. No, be adventurous and go where you don't know anyone and have a language/customs barrier to deal with. After all, a loner has the option of mobility. Perhaps you should select a destination where firearms ownership is strictly controlled by the government. Maybe carry a stash of gold and silver to bribe a few bureaucrats along the way would be a good idea too.

Yes, being a stranger in a strange land is gonna be an adventure. Your wisdom in making that choice will pay handsome dividends.

"Small arms won't help, even the much better armed militias won’t be able to put up resistance for long against the fire power these new paramilitary police forces have."
You should tell the Taliban, FARC, Shining Path, IRA, Tutsi, Al-Qaeda and other groups that. It would have made a lot of difference had they known that fighting government forces would have resulted in their utter and complete elimination at minimal cost to government forces. What a difference that would have made in Rhodesia.
------------
Avoid population centers and major transportation corridors.

You will still face one major problem. You are a stranger and stranger equates to potential enemy. Nobody is going to make it without a support system and long-term survival mandates the rapid re-establishment of commerce.

Trade goods alone is NOT enough. Skills of all sorts will be exploited at the Fusion centers and in rural America.
If you are a one-trick pony skill-wise, you better be the absolute best and that trick is the one that is always in high demand. Otherwise being a jack-of-all-trades is the best choice.

Beginning of the headline :When it hits the fan America’s population centers will explode in violence, looting, and total breakdown of law and order. It’s a theory put forth by numerous survival and relocation specialists, and one that makes complete sense if you consider what happens in a truly serious collapse-like scenario. Survival Blog founder James Rawles calls them the golden horde: Because of the urbanization of the U.S. population, if the entire eastern or western power grid goes down for more than a week, the ci...
