I live in Phx
and have a very solid exit strategy
For starters, you want to identify a bomb shelter location in the event of a Nuclear strike... Phx will burn like a dry stick in the desert...
Second you need to get a small escape vehicle that runs on diesel and has no computer chip, something that can go off road to get around the fried
cars on the few higways we have here to exit by
The 10 will be no good, it's elevated in places and you can't go around traffic, the only highways which you can get out on will be the 17 the 60 or
the beeline
If alone I'd go for the beeline on a motor scooter...or motorcycle of some kind... some areas will be impassable by car perhaps...
North is your only hope, the rim isn't far up beeline and it's wooded and so isolated from the world you could hide in there straight through ww3
My destination would be just above the rim, I have Land... acres by the Navajo Reservation...
Good ide to make a purchas about 1 G an acre...
But here's the kicker! Really deep well water... no radiation for months and month... maybe never.
I figure if things get truely desperate I hit the reservation, i.e. troops searching properties... although I intend to hide things underground, you
never know...
I would think the reservation will be by and large left alone by enemy or domestic troops in most scenarios, it's vast, and it's in theory not part
of the USA...
You'll want to research which Cacti give you water and know the cave systems... because I wont be building on res land anytime soon such as it is...
the caves are your best bet for survival in a nuclear winter scenario, temperatures will remain constant, water will flow
and the land is littered with good caves, I spelunk, I know...
Colroado and New Mexico are NOT as viable as the southern portion/ AZ areas of the Res
New Mexico has too many Nuclar Targets in widely dispersed locations where as Nothern Az aside from the Hoover dam has none, most of the Military in
AZ is from Phx south and given wind conditions your looking at a fairly low and short duration of fall out...
Most times of the year LA, Vegas Hoover Dam... those strikes will go south and aound the rim into New Mexico and the northern rim kind of gets it's
own localised airflow off of Flagg and the Mountains in the area...
Colorodo is dicey many targets but... many large mountains to shield you
You'd have to really know Colorodo well to determine likely safespots
But the rim and the res are both vast...the coconino aquifer is enourmous, plenty of water if you have a well or ability to drill one...
I'd go for an escape plot of land in those reas and... it's affordable, i just did it 10 G for 10 acres... Forest areas on rim where you are hidden
are more but compared to most of the country it's still affordable
with only a couple of roads in and out... and army couldn't fight thier way in very easy... and for what priority?
Thats my 2 cents worth on the local area
