Strategic Relocation--North American Guide to Safe Places, 3rd Edition Description
This is the long-awaited update of Mr. Skousen's classic book on relocation for security. Nearly 3/4 of this 3rd Edition is rewritten and it is expanded to 400 pages. In the process, the authors created all new graphics, charts and tables. There is also a new section on international retreat potential and 200 additional pages of analysis on every state and province of the US and Candada, complete with color maps.
The maps are chock full of detail, including private and public land use, satellite terrain features, military target areas, roads and graphic depictions of population density---one of our major threats to security in a crisis.
Despite the ongoing illusions of peace and prosperity, our world is getting less stable, not more. The economic foundations of the US and the world are all based on fiat money and are crumbling. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, War and terrorism are ever present threats, and the secondary effects of social unrest in large metropolitan areas will be disruptive and dangerous if there is a shortage of essential commodities that cause people to panic.
When you relocate or retire your prime concern should be long-term security, not recreation. Sometimes you can have both. This book is designed to help you relocate around serious threats and to develop contingency plans when you can't relocate due to work or family ties.
Strategic Relocation is more than just pointing out safe areas--simply because the safer the area, the harder it is, generally, to make a living and have access to the conveniences of life. For these reasons, relocation decisions are fairly complex, and Mr. Skousen walks you through all of the difficult choices and compromises that are inevitable in finding safety, without being totally isolated. This book has answers for nearly every situation.

Actually about 4.5 stars and it would have been 5 stars, were it not for the conspiratorial world view i.e. I believe that there may well be, and likely are, all sorts of unseen things moving below the surface, but I don't buy their particular take on what they might be.
I am aware of no other comprehensive book on this subject other than perhaps the apparently outdated 2007, "Rawles On Retreats and Relocation," which I have not seen, but Joel M. Skousen's 2011, large format, 3rd edition of "Strategic Relocation: North American Guide to Safe Places'" is a high quality, well-designed, 348 page paperback that is very impressive, and has obviously been researched and produced with a great deal of effort, care, and attention to detail; particularly impressive and useful are the close to a hundred large, very clear, and informative, mostly full color maps that are found throughout this book. At $35 dollars it is a great bargain, and offers information in both narrative and visual form that you won't find laid out so usefully and comprehensively elsewhere, information that would take you--on your own--a very long time to find, to sift through and evaluate, to organize, and to present in very useable, easily comprehensible form, as has been done here. I particularly liked their insights on the influence of geography and natural travel paths on site selection.
