If nukes, then South America. There's hardly any targets there and wind currents will distribute fallout more heavily in the N. hemisphere.

Safest place has food, water, shelter, and not much else. Plant a survival food forest. People don't recognize polycultures as gardens. Blend into nature.

Manny factors play into it; empty places, places with friends and family but really what other objectives do you have?

A relatively peacful suburban population center somewhere in the south or with a high concentration of like minded gun owners would probably be quite survivable under most types of collapse.

Why not rural?

Obrez

Rural is fine too but its easier for a small group to pick off families that are further apart, being no more than 2 acres apart is what i would call suburban in this scenario.

I live in a rural town. I think we would do fine. That's why I asked.

Further your house is away from others the easier it is to pick you off. Now, if you have a compound in BFE this doesn't count. I'm talking rural, where you have some acreage and so does your neighbor, but you also have decent roads thus allowing easy access. Marauders will pick these off first.

I'd rather die.

A Deep Underground Military Base. If you can score a ticket to one of those, you and your family will be set for life. Otherwise, sorry, but we're all fucked.

Ironically enough I'd say Florida.

God bless you, may I ask why?

The safest place during societal collapse is wherever you have the most people who care about you. For most people that is wherever their immediate and extended family live.

Somewhere like Montana, British Columbia, or southern Alaska low population density, and plenty of resources to survive

I doubt we'll be the only ones flocking there. But then again America is fucking huge
