http://www.articlesbase.com/culture-articles/2012-survival-s anctuaries-in-north-america-1831630.html There are 9 possible 2012 disaster scenarios predicted by the Sumerian Nibiru Prophecy, Nostradamus’ Doomsday Prophecy and others. The challenge is to find a sanctuary to be with you family when it all gets ugly. Fortunately the USA is blessed with an immense land area, much of it a high elevations, so finding a remote safe place with the necessary topography is possible if you know where to look. Here are the best 2012 survival sanctuaries in the continental US. The Appalachian Mountains This area is a good candidate for its immensely thick and solid granite core. While they are not exactly what you’d call remote. They cover a big enough area and are sufficiently rugged for you to be able to get some seclusion for your Family Safe House. The downside is that a lot of other 2012 Survivalists know about the Appalachians too, so finding your own private survival sanctuary with be trickier and possibly quite expensive. If you can, you’d be a lot better off moving right away from the heavy population concentration on the Eastern third of the continental USA and looking for your 2012 survival sanctuary to the west of the Missouri River. Taking a look at the ‘Lights of the US’ on darksky.org will show you very clearly where the major population concentrations are by the lights at night. It’s pretty clear where the empty spaces are too, and that’s where you need to be looking for your 2012 survival sanctuary. So now let’s take a look at the other areas worth further investigation. Northern Arizona The Colorado Plateau is very high at 5-8,000 feet, and a 200 + miles from Phoenix where most of the population in the State is concentrated. The main thing is look out for here is that you have an aquifer on your land, so you can draw your water from underground. Land ranges from $200 to $500 per acre for average grade and goes up to $20 - $40K in very high quality areas, which have everything in the 2012 survival sanctuary wish-list. Arkansas North Central Arkansas is high enough to be safe, has low population and a good growing season. The cost of living is lower than average and land is inexpensive at $500 - $1000 per acre, and it seems like you can build pretty much what you want without needing a permit. Colorado Parts of this state are OK if you can get far enough from other people, also it can get extremely cold. Idaho Idaho is as close to perfect as it gets. There are massive areas of forest, great hunting and fishing, and a good growing season in lower areas of the state, but it can get very cold at high elevations. Property isn’t expensive. Montana At lower elevations west of the Great Divide there are some promising places your family’s 2102 survival sanctuary. Population is low, but the growing season is short, there’s not much crop diversity and it’s cold in winter. Areas around Flathead Lake, Eureka and Kalispell are worth a look. Oregon The interior of Oregon looks like a survival paradise until you consider how close it is to the teaming millions living in California. The climate is mild and the growing season long. Eastern Oregon could still be worth considering, if you can find a place that is either very hard to find from the road, or very easy to defend. South Dakota The south west part of the state has good groundwater from the Ogala Aquifer, very low population and microclimates can give a better growing season. The topography also lets you find a well concealed hidey-hole with a good view of unwelcome guests. Texas Texas is so big that there are plenty of remote rural areas where you can get out of sight. In the hill country the climate is mild and the growing season is long. The downside is that most of the locals are armed to the teeth and don’t take kindly to strangers. Washington A lot like Oregon, it has a mild climate and good growing season, and areas where population density is low. There is the California factor too though, but overall definitely worth considering. Wyoming Hard winters, but very low population. Wyoming could be a good choice if you can afford to build a very well equipped sanctuary with protection from extreme cold and plenty of storage. Remember that a winter resulting from a nuclear war or space object impact could last five years! This list certainly gives you a few options to choose from. However for most of us the final choice will be dictated by cost – meaning we’ll need to look for 2012 survival sanctuaries near to where we live. However if you’re properly prepared you can feel confident and secure even in less remote locations. I’m reminded of the hit song from the 80’s with the chorus line ‘You better stay away from Copperhead Road...’ |
