The only place to be if SHTF is in the United States. I don't know where else you can own guns and have the (admittedly dubious) protections of the Bill of Rights, which are stronger here than in any other place, even if they are routinely violated.
Also it's such a larger nation that you aren't trapped by small landmasses surrounded by oceans limiting your travel. The landscape is geologically varied and you can find a place that has the weather you want, so finding the type of place you want to live is easiest in the U.S.
I don't know where else anyone would go.
I have right to citizenship in Italy, I bought my grandfathers house from my cousins. The hose was built about 900AD. It has it's own spring, and septic system, with two fireplaces for heat. It has survived not only WW2, WW1, but countless other conflicts. it has good farm land around it, with fruit trees on the edge. it sits in a small village with family members in each of the houses. I visit regularly, and go to birthday parties, and festivals. If the need arises I will bug out to there. The real key is community. You will not have an easy time moving into a place as an outsider.
This is 100% a great idea!
