MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As the year 2012 approaches, end of the world concerns are growing. Survivalism and "prepping" are on the rise, especially in the USA. While there is plenty of information regarding storing food and self-sufficiency available, the location factor has mostly been ignored.
Survive 2012 by Robert Bast (released today) is a practical guide to surviving any global catastrophe. Uniquely, the book details the safest places to be across five continents. Criteria used includes distance from the coastline, height above sea-level, and avoiding volcanoes, fault-lines and nuclear power plants.
For the USA, the safest place nominated by Bast is Peebles, Ohio (pop. 1700). Outside the reach of the Yellowstone supervolcano, the area is free of nuclear threats, and the land is cheap - you can buy 20 acres of flat, cleared land for $40,000.
Peebles is well-suited to self-sufficiency, and the numerous local Amish are evidence of that.
Just 5 miles north of the town is the famous Great Serpent Mound. On Dec 21 each year the Friends of Serpent Mound hold a Lighting the Serpent event involving 900 candles and a sacred fire. "A suitably relaxed celebration," says Bast.
It is not necessary to buy land in one of Bast's designated "safe spots":
"Most people take an annual vacation. Why not take your 2012 vacation in December, and choose somewhere safe?" explained author Robert Bast. "If you usually have a beach vacation, why not, for just once in your life, spend some time in the hills - away from the coast? You don't have to stay in a hotel. For the very cheapest holiday, consider camping."
Most of the safe spots listed have affordable camping available.
