    I keep thinking some of us are listening to Hari Seldon and are preparing for collapse and a coming dark era. Maybe many centuries of unrest at a minimum, and likely never rebounding to current population levels (not necessarily a bad thing).

    This is a frequent topic in our family discussions. Where would be the safest place to go, globally?

    Do you plan to relocate your family somewhere else?

      I think we already live in one of the better places on earth. Not overburdened by too much population (1 million people in a province with the landmass of Great Britain) , lots of nature, and far from centres of war or possible nuclear fallout. We are not a strategic location and have access to unlimited fresh water. Winter is the biggest environmental threat here, not counting other humans of course.

        We aren’t so lucky. Hurricane prone area with a heavy population.

        But we have passports to six countries so we are carefully evaluating our options. It will likely be the Andean region.

          Most of Canada has access to clean water sources. We have an insane amount of fresh water lakes and rivers. We’re more likely to eat eachother than fight over water.
