This is the long-awaited update of Mr. Skousen's classic book on relocation for security. Nearly 3/4 of this 3rd Edition is rewritten and it is expanded to 349 pages. In the process, the authors created all new graphics, charts and tables. There is also a new section on international retreat potential and 200 additional pages of analysis on every state and province of the US and Candada, complete with color maps.
The maps are chock full of detail, including private and public land use, satellite terrain features, military target areas, roads and graphic depictions of population density---one of our major threats to security in a crisis.

Despite the ongoing illusions of peace and prosperity, our world is getting less stable, not more. The economic foundations of the US and the world are all based on fiat money and are crumbling. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, War and terrorism are ever present threats, and the secondary effects of social unrest in large metropolitan areas will be disruptive and dangerous if there is a shortage of essential commodities that cause people to panic.

When you relocate or retire your prime concern should be long-term security, not recreation. Sometimes you can have both. This book is designed to help you relocate around serious threats and to develop contingency plans when you can't relocate due to work or family ties.

Strategic Relocation is more than just pointing out safe areas--simply because the safer the area, the harder it is, generally, to make a living and have access to the conveniences of life. For these reasons, relocation decisions are fairly complex, and Mr. Skousen walks you through all of the difficult choices and compromises that are inevitable in finding safety, without being totally isolated. This book has answers for nearly every situation.

Higgie,

That's a beautiful plan, but what do you plan to do when others come by (worst case scenario, I think Greer calls them 'warbands") and help themselves to the fruits of your labor?

Probably there are many people who would look at the photos of the apartment units around my former Dark Age Hovel and conclude my neighbors are simply pigs who need to clean up their act and there are no excuses. Maybe so.

The stench of pot permeates the air nearly every time I walk to and from the parking lot.

None of it bothers me all that much and I don't have much of an opinion about it except: It's a new dark age. When the transfer payments come to a halt, as I think is likely soon, that won't be the place to be. It was good for 19 years as the world rumbled along on the plateau before what I perceive to be the imminent coming fall off the plateau that has already started and is picking up speed.

When a friend mentioned over 20 years ago that he was going to start growing his own food, I said I planned to keep buying food for the foreseeable future. That plan has now changed.

I can imagine a couple distinct phases in the transition to the new dark age. The first phase will be economic trouble, which we are well into and I think getting close to the major global financial panic and crisis after which I think a second phase will follow. Sometime during the second phase money will disappear and people will need to either provide their own necessities or barter for them.

In my new Dark Age Hovel, I will be digging a few dozen compost pits starting today and through the Summer and into the Fall to prepare the ground for an intensive garden. This pit took 2.5 hours to dig and measures 32 inches by 40 inches by 2 feet deep. That implies I will be preparing 500 to 1000 square feet of ground by Fall for intensive production plus more ground beyond that.

Anyway, the main point being that I think it's time to earnestly prepare for the second phase, which will be the much more difficult phase.

Several of my friends have told me recently (this year) that every American city in a Blue State smells like weed, urine, and garbage. They have also told me that illegal immigrant crime/violence is obvious. It's really bad.

I hope you are way out in the countryside.
