We have just bought land in just north of MAYO in the YUKON for PRECISELY THIS REASON... the safest place on Earth.

We followed various lines of reasoning.

Firstly, guessing is not good. It is best to look at case history. When the Roman Empire collpased and others, it was always the same. Those unprepared got slaughtered. THose well prepared THEN GOT SLAUGHTERED. Those who made it through, like Venice were always the same. These were people who hid themselves unobtrusively in a self-sufficient place, BUT one that they could and would defend if necessary. Likewsie, when Greek civilization collapsed within a generation of the Trojan Wars, the same picture is recorded. People wrote of barbarians turning up from nowhere to raid and burn towns leaving its survivors without food and shelter. Well, its simple logic. It was like dominoes, once your town has been burnt down, you have no option but to form a band yourself with the other survivors and raid the next town in turn for your own family's survival...and so it snowballs.

Secondly, check out stuff like "Threads". A nuclear exchange will directly only kill 10 to 20% of the population, it is the three big diseases of Dysentry, Typhoid and one other that escapes me fo r the moment and the collapse of civilization that would reduce the population to a mere 5% to 7% of its original.

The BIGGEST THREATS to your survival after the collapse of civilization are:-

- OTHER PEOPLE (They will rob you and kill you to survive and infect you with whatever diseases they have)
- THE REMAINS OF CIVILIZATION - After a catastrophe, most governments like the UK have nightmare laws. After a nuclear alert is given, for instance, the following (amongst many others) will occur: ALL inmates in prisons are to be liquidated. It becomes illegal to drive on the road. A strict curfew will keep you from escaping fallout. Food will be seized and held to kill off the weak and use to force survivors into slave labour. Those over 45 years old will be used for all the most dangerous tasks are they will be viewed as being expendible. Separate from this there is also the fact that guns, other registrable items and residual surveillance cameras will allow the remains of the state to find you and f**k you over.

- DISEASE

- FALLOUT - For whichone needs Potassium Iodide and a geiger counter that thestate will try to seize.

- TIDAL WAVES - Either through natural catastrophe or from nuclear blast, tidal waves will present a big threat.

- FOOD

The north-east of the Yukon has advantages:-
- Only 30,000 people there and Canada has almost no surveillance cameras.
- Microscopic Government.
- Mountains.
- Airstrips that allow you to flee.
- Freehold available unlike the North West Territories, but is still close enough that you could flee on foot if needs be there to live, probably undetected.
- Survivaby cold, but cold enough to make others think twice.
- Plenty of wild animals like deer and bear that COULD BE HUNTED by archery (unlike whates), bows being a weapn that do not have to be registered and can be home made.
- Unlike northern Quebec, the Yukon wilderness is NOT strewn with SECONDARY TARGETS of Hydro-electric plants.
- Well away from any targets in the US.
- Affordable, so you can spend cash on a bunker, not on the land purchase.
- Connected by some form of road to civilization, so you can flee there without having to depend on air travel.
- Plenty of trees to use for fuel and as a building material.
- Plenty of water.
