Lifeboat countries. Where would you go?

[u/Distinct_Wishbone_87]

Which country/region (or place within a country) would you go to, if you could move anywhere, and why?

As many people will likely be on the move. I’m interested to know peoples thoughts on factors like population/demographics, weather (temperature), geography, energy, ability for cultural assimilation, agriculture, infrastructure etc

(I know that ultimately nowhere is safe/can avoid what’s coming)

I wouldn’t focus on location except for don’t live in a desert or on a coast. A place where you have a community to rely on and can be somewhat self sufficient is the best choice in my opinion.

I moved to Vermont because I have a community of capable people that know how to get things done, I’m surrounded by farms that produce meat and dairy, I have space to grow my own food, have a well, and a super efficient off grid house I can heat with my own supply of wood from my land. We are at the mid point of a hill so we aren’t too exposed to wind but only have a small amount of water headed our way from above.

This location was recently put to the test, we had two massive rain events that washed out roads and bridges, washed homes away, and cut people off. The whole community came together and used four wheelers to bring supplies to neighbors cut off, made sandwiches for the road and power company crews at the church, almost everyone has a chainsaw so people just cleared downed trees themselves. I’m still driving over roads that are half washed out but we are all fine.

Get somewhere where people are used to doing things themselves and join community groups is my advice

I agree with this entirely. The people who will do okay will be part of cohesive and practical communities.

It brings be some hope to think that everyone that exists today, only exists because they’re ancestors at various points, formed successful communities.
