 Strategic
Relocation:
North American Guide to Safe Places by Joel Skousen
In today’s bookstores, it’s easy to find information about the "best
places" to live. Such literature undoubtedly will concentrate on the
positive aspects of life, such as numbers and ratings of golf courses,
doctor/patient ratios, warm sunny climates, availability of cultural
activities, status of educational institutions, and the growth potential
of the local economy.
But while these highly-rated metropolitan areas may offer ample
opportunities to enhance your lifestyle, what happens when a major
crisis strikes? What if:
• a labor crisis halts the inflow of food and business goods? Will these
communities provide the basic necessities of life?
• an economic crisis that threatens your pensions, investments and other
so-called "guaranteed" income?
• a major earthquake or other natural disaster suddenly upset the
natural social order for months at a time? Could you get out of harm's
way if massive social unrest erupts in the wake of a crisis?
• the area’s freeways are clogged during an emergency? Do you have
contingency plans to exit the area?
• if the "unthinkable" happens—nuclear war? Or have you thought about
the potential of a major terrorist attack on a U.S. city with chemical
or biological weapons?
It’s easy to dismiss these threats during times of peace and prosperity,
but they are real. Not only that, but the probably of such events coming
to pass increases every year. Strategic Relocation: North American Guide
to Safe Places is an in-depth analysis of North America’s safest places
to live. This book will help you look ahead for potential threats that
most other people fail to see or choose to ignore. It contains a
complete discussion of the strategies and relocation contingencies that
will help you avoid or mitigate each of the major modern threats, from
national disasters to economic collapse to nuclear war.
SOME STATES WITH TAX ADVANTAGES: This doesn't tell the whole tax story
since all states collect a lot of taxes. However, a person whose
financial structure or income structure is different from the average
person can take advantage of this by living in a state which doesn't tax
his particular form of income or spending patterns. There are more
details in my book, "Strategic Relocation."
STATES WITH NO INCOME TAX: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire (but
has 5% tax on div/int) , So. Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wyoming.
STATES WITH NO SALES TAX: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire,
Oregon,
STATES WITH NO INCOME OR SALES TAXES, BUT HIGH PROPERTY TAXES: Alaska,
New Hampshire.
STATES WHO SHARE A BORDER WITH NO SALES TAX/NO INCOME TAX STATE: In
these states, you can live in a no income tax state and shop across the
border in a no sales tax state: Washington/Oregon Wyoming/Montana So.
Dakota/Montana.
More . . . much more!
As you can see, it can be rather enjoyable or frustrating doing this
kind of analysis, depending upon where you presently reside. I hope you
will enjoy the entire book, which offers many more areas of interest to
analyze.

 When
Technology Fails by Matthew Stein
NEW 4th Edition and Expanded BOOK
A Manual for Self-Reliance, Sustainability, and Surviving the Long
Emergency
Foreword by Richard Heinberg
"If you've been wondering about how to respond to the twin dangers of
peak oil and global warming, one of your best choices would be to read
this book."
—Greg Pahl, author of The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook: Community
Solutions to a Global Crisis
There’s never been a better time to “be prepared.” Matthew Stein’s
comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills—from food and water to
shelter and energy to first-aid and crisis-management skills—prepares
you to embark on the path toward sustainability. But unlike any other
book, Stein not only shows you how to live “green” in seemingly stable
times, but to live in the face of potential disasters, lasting days or
years, coming in the form of social upheaval, economic meltdown, or
environmental catastrophe.
When Technology Fails covers the gamut. You’ll learn how to start a fire
and keep warm if you’ve been left temporarily homeless, as well as the
basics of installing a renewable energy system for your home or
business. You’ll learn how to find and sterilize water in the face of
utility failure, as well as practical information for dealing with
water-quality issues even when the public tap water is still flowing.
You’ll learn alternative techniques for healing equally suited to an era
of profit-driven malpractice as to situations of social calamity. Each
chapter (a survey of the risks to the status quo; supplies and
preparation for short- and long-term emergencies; emergency measures for
survival; water; food; shelter; clothing; first aid, low-tech medicine,
and healing; energy, heat, and power; metalworking; utensils and
storage; low-tech chemistry; and engineering, machines, and materials)
offers the same approach, describing skills for self-reliance in good
times and bad.
Fully revised and expanded—the first edition was written pre-9/11 and
pre-Katrina, when few Americans took the risk of social disruption
seriously—When Technology Fails ends on a positive, proactive note with
a new chapter on "Making the Shift to Sustainability," which offers
practical suggestions for changing our world on personal, community and
global levels.
