Where will You Go?

There are a few of us who live far enough away for others that our current homes will be a safe choice for the End Times. However most of us need to get the heck out of where ever we live to a safe place. Cities will be overrun with mobs, dead bodies, and backed up sewers. Places with water pumped in, like where I live in the middle of the Sonoran Desert, have only a few days of water before people start dropping like flies.

So where will you go?

Sure you want to look at water tables, chemical and nuclear facilities, and weather. But, come on, what’s really important is what kind of food can you grow there?

Who knows how many years it could take before trade starts up again, so what can’t you live without?

If you love seafood you’ll need to be near the ocean. What kind? If it’s lobster, up north you go. Shrimp, you need to head south.

Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries all need cold dormant time. So do all stone fruits such as peaches. This means snowy areas. However if you want oranges and avocados you need heat.

Oh, yes, you are going to have to choose. And if chocolate is what you can’t live without., then you best start finding a way to travel down to South America.

So, where will you go? What foods will you be willing to give up and what can’t you imagine your life without?

    I want pasta, so I guess I’m fleeing to Italy. Although, the gondola is not a very fast getaway…

      A Gondola might not be fast but I doubt zombies can swim.

    One of the advantages of moving from Alberta to Nova Scotia is the zone change – we can grow all kinds of things here that would never grow back home! Plus we’ve got a well, a generator, and enough defibrillator batteries to power a seriously impenetrable perimeter, so I’m feeling pretty good about the apocalypse. 🙂
