You should always aim to live next to relatively unpolluted body of water, preferably freshwater, where there is a reasonable amount of fish. This will act as both a source of water and a source of fresh protein. The ocean/brackish bays also work for food, but arent quite as good for water, because then you gotta distill the water and that means you gotta use a lot more fuel. [Edit: Also remember you want to be close to your homies and far away from everyone else.] [Edit2: It is also helpful to be within driving distance to a CostCo to reup on supplies and Kirkland]
