Enjoy! I've spent a lot of time in the mountains along the Montana/Idaho border. Beautiful and plentiful if you know what you're doing. As an added bonus, this time of year it's not deadly if you don't!

Regarding protein, why not just get it directly from roving mobs and bandits?

lol you think you are the only one with guns? Good luck defeating bandits/mobs with guns.
I'm thinking, stock up on trading goods.  Yeah, bullets, bandaids and beans work for some, but here's the real item they will all want:

Barbecue sauce.

I would say places that grow food for humans, that is not that corn crap...
Corn, wheat, oats or rice, in the end it's all grass.

Still, I would prefer to be near where something I can eat is grown...

The mass produced corn isn't really too edible...

It's edible. Grind it up into flour and make bread. Also cows...

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if our grocery store beef had corn in it too  Grin

And chickens.  Corn makes for a fine chicken dinner after about four months.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

I would say a small to medium sized town is the best place to be, under 250k people but no smaller than 10k.  That's where you see people working it out and pulling together.  I wouldn't want to be too isolated.  It's good to have medical care, food, water, trade, friends, jobs..

Greece already had its economy crash and things have been pretty bad.  There's some interesting journalism about this in the Telegraph and a few other newspapers online.  A barter system sprung up; people moved out of Athens to go back to their home provinces.

In large part, human history is the story of defeating bandits and mobs with guns (or equal weapons for whichever era) over and over, and that's not going to change.  So, yes, bandits and mobs will be defeated, as they always have been.

Given the USD's status as the worlds reserve currency, I'm not sure it will much matter. Everyone is in for some serious pain.  Undecided

The US is a very diverse place.  Based on whatever logic you choose there should be somewhere here thats suitable.
