[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2662480, member: 750"] I'm thinking south east just because from where I live/work that takes me away from population areas the fastest. Also, SE Oklahoma seems to have good soil and water resources, natural shelter materials (trees, elevation changes, etc). As I understand it, the rocky soil and terrain makes it harder for large production scale agriculture vs western Oklahoma but for smaller survival garden type ag, it isn't as big a deal especially if you can prep an acre or two before hand. The population densities in the SE 1/4 of the state are also pretty low. The western side of the state would probably be the best place to avoid fallout but with the ongoing drought and wideopen spaces make it a little harder to blend into the scenery, it seems less harder unless you are already established there.
