“Ben! Where can I survive the disasters coming with earth’s magnetic pole shift?!?!?”
A thread about where you need to be to give you and your family a chance when this unfolds at some point before 2050 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
1: Population = Death
Get out of big cities. There will be no food, no water, no power, no 911, no gas, no ATMs. People will eat each other and kill for scraps.
This does not mean “off grid in the mountains”, it means light suburbs or rural- and you don’t need to live there, it can be your bug-out location.
Europe, your entire continent is just too dense.
2. The great waves ARE coming
Here is the math you need to do for elevation required:
Elevation in feet + miles from the ocean = safety score for that location
+5000 is ideal
+4000 is probably ok
+3000 and you are pushing it
+2000 float-away plan required
+500 you plan to float
<500 be kidding bro
3. Floating away can work.
The golden rules here:
- there will be a lot of stuff in the water, a blow-up craft won’t survive.
- you should make your flotation craft a prep storage location too, for obvious reasons
- the water goes one way for about 12 hours, and when it stops and goes the other way, find any land you can ASAP. You are being dragged out to sea… don’t do that.
4. Weather the Weather
Can you survive in your location without power? Think about summer heat and water availability and winter cold and microclimates if applicable.
5. Build on stable ground.
No significant fault lines or volcanos. I don’t care if it’s “dormant” or even “extinct”. All bets are off in this event, with your children on the line.
6. Strength in numbers
Very very few of you can lone wolf this thing. Community, common purpose. This shouldn’t need explaining, but it also hardest to accomplish.
Observers find other observers nearby at Solarkillshot.org
Bonus: so where is good?
Very few places, actually. There are some ok places in the Appalachian mountains but lots of great ones on the eastern range of the Rockies.
Mongolia has some decent spots, China and Russia too; good luck with that.
Most of Europe is rough because of weather and waves and population density. It is what it is.
Most survival zones in Australia fail because you really can’t go live in that desert out west now can you? Very few spots in the east, and observers already know them. Trust me. New Zealand, no.
Hawaii, no.
Africa… some of it like the North Central regions, maybe, if you can hack it there until this all goes down. Again, good luck with that.
I’m pretty sure that the new geographic poles are going to be the NE Indian Ocean and northern South America. They will be cold.
Hope this helps.
