Survival Book Review: Strategic Relocation by Joel Skousen | Stone ...

Searching for the safest place to be if things go wrong

?

No one purposely puts themselves or their families in harm?s way.? But what if you are in harm?s way and don?t even know it?? Joel Skousen has written a book called ?Strategic Relocation:? North American Guide to Safe Places? to help readers determine the best places to be in the event of a variety of disasters.

In today?s bookstores, it?s easy to find information about the ?best places? to live.? These books 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 upsets 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?
• an emergency clogs the area?s freeways? Do you have contingency plans to exit the area?
• 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?

My Thoughts On This Book

As a person who has moved a number of times following new career opportunities and always striving to have a better life in each new location, you can only imagine how appealing a book like this would be for a person like me.? This is a valuable asset to anyone who has found themselves thinking about moving away from the hustle and bustle of city life, or someone who sees social unrest on the horizon and wants a safer place to live.? It?s for the individual who is concerned about terror attacks or nuclear war, or for the person who just wants to buy land with less tax burden.?? It?s a tool for survivalists who want to have a bug-out location, and also a reference for anyone who just wants more security.

What makes this a must-have for your library is the fact that it is valuable to all people in all walks of life, in all locations.?? Even if you are not planning on moving or buying property, this book can raise awareness of the environment around you.??? It gives crime statistics for each state, geography and climate information (are you in a tornado, flood or earthquake zone?? this book will let you know), freedom and politics of certain regions, and an overall picture of health and quality of life based on the area of the country in which you live.

After reviewing my state of Texas, I found that the information was pretty accurate in my opinion.? The only thing that I had a question about was the listing of Texas as an ?open carry? state in the section on gun liberty.? As of the date of this review, Texas only has conceal carry, not open carry.??? As with any reference book you may use, be sure to double-check the laws in your area.

What other people say about Joel Skousen?s Strategic Relocation

This book was well-researched and is clearly presented. Great for emergency preparedness. I live in a hurricane zone. Evacuation (relocation) is part of life here. I am glad I bought this book.

Patriot2393 (Amazon Book Review)

Things are changing so rapidly in the US we don?t feel safe and secure any more. This book gives locations of where is the best place to be the safest, there are maps, lots of information for anyone to decide where to go or stay put. If you are researching for a safe place for yourself and/or your family [Strategic Relocation by Joel Skousen] would be helpful.

Shirley D. (Amazon Book Review)

Problems I found with this book

I don?t have a lot of complaints with Strategic Relocation.? It is very well researched.? However, I would point out the following:

• Highly focused on the United States.? While there is some information on the Regional Analysis of Canada, more of the attention is on the USA.
• Some errors on gun laws (as I mentioned above).?? It?s always best to double-check laws in the area where you are considering buying property.? Laws change and may not be represented correctly in an older edition of a book.
• Some of the Amazon reviews I read found the text too opinionated.? I found that the opinions expressed were based on Skousen?s expertise in his field, so are worthy of the book.
• People who are super-sensitive to social issues may become offended at statistics offered.?? One on Amazon accused the writer of prejudices against minorities and particular political parties, but cited no specifics I could reference.
