Depends what sort of crisis you are expecting now doesn't it?
How about a large asteroid impact? Living further North is going to get extra icey for a couple years...you could be in a lot of trouble. Of course living near an ocean would mitigate the temperature but then if the asteroid hits water near you....well, glub glub.
Pro's and con's to various scenarios....you are all forgetting nuclear war too. That's what spawned a big part of the whole survival industry 40+ years ago.
If the end is coming, I want to spend my last days in my Strato Lounger, with my stuff. I like my stuff. It makes this place Home. Better than meeting my end, down some dusty road to nowhere.
Great point, I have yet to find an area prettier than northern ID and I'm sure that goes for many parts of the north, but damn it's cold up there.
I do know nowhere is perfect and it's always taking the good with the bad I guess I am just thinking if there were no power I would rather not freeze to death
Low taxes are important to me as well as the least amount of government intrusion I can find.
Thanks for you your input.
Tennessee has all that. I live on the plateau and the weather is different here then any other place in TN. The western part of TN has lots of farms. Around Mcminnville are tons of nurseries. We do get tornadoes though, more so in the west but we still get them up here.
Taxes are low, especially in Cumberland County, but it shows. The only thing I don't like is that they tax food. Sales tax is 7% but cities usually tack on another 2 to 3%. Property taxes are low. No state income tax.
People around here do not like anyone telling them how to live.

Many states have no income tax, or none for low income families.
Exactly how 'low' are property taxes in Tenn?
How much per acre?
Here in Maine, I live in the one county with the highest mil-rates in the state, we pay $1.05 / acre.
How much lower is Tenn?
I don't lnow the exact rate, but I live on a 1/4 acre lot in a POA subdivision with a home value of around $100,000. My yearly property tax is around $185.00
Now remember I live in Cumberland County, we have the lowest property taxes in the state. That is why so many people retire here. It is higher in other parts of the state.

My POA fees are more than my property taxes.
Wow--I live in 70" by 70" metallic building, with no set back. and my land taxes or over $7000.00 a year. something is wrong here.
maybe a mild climate but im not sure. what i am sure of is you must bloom where you are planted.
otherwise you end up a hothouse plant, the slightest storm or cold snap and you are done.
Now if I were to live in the city of Crossville my taxes would be higher. I have and they were, I had three parcels of land one was commercial and my taxes were still under $1000.00 for the year. That's why the population of Crossville is only around 10,000 while the county has a population of 50,000.
