So I've done this! Made up my mind that I wanted to live off the grid, bought the book strategic relocation, picked a place bought a house, being able to walk out your back door and shoot at targets on your land is awesome, the fresh air, listening to stream flowing, no neighbors absolute freedom. Here's what the book doesn't tell you, if your from the city your probably use to high speed internet and I thought I would be fine but boy was I wrong, now I'm stalking Elon Musk hoping starlink is going to solve that problem but wait that's not it, wait until you wake up because a black widow is on your arm, while you can find them in the city the population is larger out in the woods, you and your kids are out side playing then it gets quiet in the woods and you feel something isn't right and you look and there is a mountain lion stalking your kid, I'm not even gonna get on the rattlesnakes you gotta watch out for, this life is not for everyone but living surrounded by all this potential danger keeps you on your toes though.
@@alexlandry9062 well damn that's neat. Where I live now us a suburb now bit it used to be country and pastures. Its outside atlanta, in between there and athens. We want to move out further. Some areas in south georgia aren't very populated which is good, but there is nuclear power in eastern bama if shtf. Its too cold for me to go out west etc, being in several car wrecks stops that.
2:00 this is not strategic relocation. This is, how do you find your vacation home. It doesn't matter what people say, this is what I think is best. Strategic relocation, get the book. Get away from the city, get away from nuclear power plants, as for location, ask an expert if it is defendable.
Mit U dude I can’t begin to rave about this book- it blew my mind when my copy arrived-most thorough book on prepping and where to live that I’ve EVER seen.
Lori Christy Good luck With what? Where do you live that people don’t have GPS yet? 😂 Most cars already have gps as a standard feature now. Cellphones have maps with gps. I’ve traveled to 3rd world poop holes where even the poor people had cell phones with gps in the middle of the jungles ...
Please I need a strong advice in terms of relocation. I live in NYC married with 5 kids different ages. I made my 6 figures and it’s hard to get the same salary in another state. I’m thinking to buy a small vacation house with at least 1 acres so when shtf approximately two hours from ny no passing any bridge. What do you think about Litchfield Connecticut? Please advise
@@alexlandry9062 Joel's book is comprehensive but only you should figure out where you "need" to be or it won't work out. There are countless people with buyer's remorse who bought land based on Joel's recommendations. It's still a good book but you are the one who has to be good with your choices. I presented a whole host of considerations of what questions to ask yourself in my book Prepper Survival Retreats. It is not an encyclopedia on where I think you need to live, it is a process for you to decide where you can be the best situated for your needs. This was just a short video that was meant to get people thinking. I completely agree on your points about getting out of NYC and using care to buy land with clean soil and water.
The Catskill area and above on the main road toward Adirondack mountain range, near a small town for resupply and help if needed is possibly smart. You do not need a bedroom community. All those areas have copperheads and other pests, spiders, raccoons, skunks. It is not all rainbows and unicorns. Many beautiful old spacious homes in small towns all have land beautiful sidewalks general stores, and friendly helpful locals. Do not go remote. Take the train from Grand Central and explore on weekends.
How does one go about this with no knowledge of the area they would like to move to? If anyone is in the TN area and wouldn't mind a freedom loving Yankee as a neighbor, any pointers or towns to start researching would be appreciated.
We are in southern Middle TN (Tracy City). Since the C Virus, we've been reassured that this is a great place to be. Not easy for people to get here from either Chattanooga or Nashville. We have far fewer virus cases than nearby counties because we are pretty secluded, and that is a great indicator of protection, not just for this "disaster." There are places to avoid (Gruetli, Palmer, etc.), but for the most part lots of like-minded folks here, many longtime locals. ~ Kir in TN
Would not be a good question, where do I need to go instead of where I wanna be? If Shtf It's posible we cannot go were we want to. Hope never happens. Loving SD...
Thats with a caveat. I am pretty "thick", not fat but muscular and thick. When you work your ass off, you eat your ass off. It a "log toss" build. ....I can out work many kids who go to the gym....its kind of amazing. I can watch kids 20 years younger melt as they try to help me ______. The cross fit gym guys are the worst. Seems they are used to doing reps then their done. ....most these guys may be working on a homestead 8-14 hours a day. YMMV
Lots of good things to consider when planning to buy property

@Isabel Livieva Our neighbors dog was eaten by a mountain lion.
Are y'all reading my mind? I was thinking about this yesterday.
Good thoughts & issues to consider.

Don’t forget the fantastic book, strategic relocation- if you can even get a copy right now
I 2nd that. Skousen's book is a great read.
Joel Skousen?
Aname Aname yes- he used to work in government- now he helps people make their homes secure. The book is fantastic

Good Video. Diaster Scernio and Hazard Analyst are important factors that most people don't consider in Vacation Homes...
Very high quality advice. Decided to stay in the city.
Friends often say they are going to come to our place when the SHTF. We are quick to let them now that it would be a wasted trip.
When he said “middle eastern states”, the mid Atlantic is not what I had in mind LOL

A lot of great information! Thank you!!
Northern Idaho, Northern Georgia or western North Carolina would be my picks
Thank you 😊
Thanks a lot of this inspiration!!

GPS, SatNav, SatPhone. It’s 2020, there’s technology now. 😂

Good luck With what? Where do you live that people don’t have GPS yet? 😂
Most cars already have gps as a standard feature now.
Cellphones have maps with gps.
I’ve traveled to 3rd world poop holes where even the poor people had cell phones with gps in the middle of the jungles ...
@@sfrealestatedealmaker6001 No chance of any of those going down.

in my opinion I'd get more than an acre with 5 kids and leave soon. You need less money to live off of in a small town. Just my opinion.

Whoa, whoa, wait! You don't want me? CH, I feel SO sad and rejected! LOL.
And none of the rest of the locals do either, how many in your army?
Probably more TREX around those parts. HAHAHA I love large people saying what they don't like around. Maybe try not having so much food around dude.
Do an area study of the area to which you will retreat.
Absolutely, always do an area study. I have a whole book coming out on that based on the classes I have taught on the subject.

Nort/eastern TN/NC border is remote with lots of marginal land. Sparsely populated. Largely unregulated

A lot of unrecorded / untraceable / unresolved criminal happened in the hill. Well, it's just your luck. Bad guys is everywhere.
alot of them in chicago too
A lot of bad things can happen to bad people out there too. No cops around to protect the criminals.
Jus saying behind every blade of grass.

If you’re a Democrat the safest place you can be is Los Angeles or D.C. 😉 Don’t go anywhere else.

Good for noobs trying to get ideas....AZ, nononono, no water no trees no shade.....
You don’t flesh things out you flush them out
Actually if you were from a rural area you'd "flesh them out", as in fleshing out a hide if your a trapper or hunter. Fleshing out is a THING...FYI
All the guys on this channel look to be out of shape.
Makes me take their advice with a grain of salt.
@ Physical fitness is an important area of survival.

Have to disagree. At least perfect enough..
