I find it crazy that people that live in places like that where a disaster could strike at anytime look at preppers like they are retarded
Where in the US is best?....

That could be a double edged sword too.

I have been researching Alaska for years now, wife been there twice and once was with me. It took a LOT of will power to come home. Its a different way of living up there, just like anywhere.

Ive "investigated" Alaska a bit.
Yes, no one may be able to find you, but if you're screwed, noone can find you.
There are pkenty of ways to die in Alaska other than by human.
Animal attack.
Frostbite.
Lack of food.
If you hurt yourself bad enough to need medical attention, wheres the nearest hospital?
Also, Alaska has the highest % of suicide rate in the country, you ever think theres a reason for that?

Oh the plusses lol, besides guns:
Lots of game to hunt/trap, where is there not water?, seclusion, snow mobiles are transportation (awesome), not to mention the beauty of Alaska, theres more too.
Another double edged sword, because of the lack of laws on guns, everyone has one+, might be a shitty situation to have to put up with if shtf. believe it or not, there are alot of gangs in Alaska too, including the crips and bloods etc.

Let me look at some aspects individually and let you know why I think the pluses and minuses are the way I list them.
1. It can be pricier there. The farther from a city you live the pricier things get. HOWEVER post shtf this no longer matters. For basic goods and services I am already paying near to what folks in anchorage pay for the basics, so no worries there.
2. Weather. The winter there can be a long one for sure, and some even thinks it gets cold there. MY wife and I sleep with a bedroom window open in -40 temps now. We both LOVE the snow! This helps to weed out the meek and weak and makes it more enjoyable for us. Also makes it more secure for us as snow is a natural obstacle that needs to be addressed in any sort of... "encounter".
3. Alaska is the only "State" in the world that has EVERY form of terrain known to man on earth, even a desert. This gives us HUGE choices for places and terrains to live in.
4. Alaska has AMAZING hunting and fishing. They even have subsistence permits that really make it interesting.
5. Housing. In a LOT of areas of Alaska you don't need permits to build ANYTHING. And the resources are there to build most of what you will want. Wife and I are gonna take a portable wood mill up there with us and mill our own trees from our land and build what we want. And since I am shooting for land bordering state land so that I can hunt that easily.
6. LOT of folks in Alaska own airplanes. I been wanting to get my pilots license so this is a good place to learn and to learn how to bush fly. However it is costly there.
7. People in Alaska have a very serious pioneering spirit about them still. They tend to mind there own business, BUT when a neighbor needs help they pitch in because that is how you survive up there. They understand that you can have your own space, respect anothers rights and space but still work together when it is needed.
8. Guns in Alaska are like water thru a fishes gills. To even carried concealed there you only need to be a resident of the state and have NO felonies. No special permit required. Gotta love a place that still respects the 2nd amendment!!!
9. Its dangerous there to be sure. A grizzly is dangerous! But a moose is more dangerous. Be prepared and respect the locals (wildlife).
10. Location. its a tough bish to get to! Even once you are there some places are only accessible by plane or trail. You can be 10 miles from the city but not see a living soul for years. I like this part a LOT!
These are just a few thoughts.

After sleeping in snow for 6months, cold weather doesnt affect me too much, however, id still shut the freaken window lmfao!
Cool show for ya, about things that could happen, Alaskan State Troopers on NatGeo i think.
And flying in Alaska is one of the most dangerous things you can do there i hear.

I'm kinda stuck in Utah and have looked at in through different eyes in recent times. Where we live is heavily populates but not 15 mins away you are either up in the mountains, Or in the plains in the middle of nowhere. I just wish I could buy some land out there to bug out to. I also dove through Idaho this week and see lots of possibilities here.

I find that every state has something to offer.
I too have looked at Alaska.
At the moment though I am favoring Northern Nevada, Northern Arizona, or Utah.
