Letter Re: Suitability of Missouri as a Retreat Locale?
Dear Mr. Rawles,
I noticed that Missouri is not listed as one of your top 20 [states ranked
as] desired retreat
locations. Please tell me why you think Missouri would
be
unsuitable.
Is there any possibility of meeting like minded people on your Survival Blog?
Thanks so much for your help. Sincerely, - Marie R.
JWR Replies: I consider Missouri unsuitable mainly because
of its population density. It is also down-wind of some nuclear targets. So
if you plan to stay there then I recommend that you construct a fallout shelter
(like the ones that Safecastle builds),
and have plenty of friends to help defend your retreat. In the event of a societal
collapse, I think that things will be much more stable in the more lightly-populated
western states.
My
reply to this posted letter includes a link to a Survivalist Groups Matching
page that might prove useful in finding like-minded folks in your area.
