Iran will never think to nuke Appalachia. Why aren't you hiding out there until World War 3 fizzles?

i am not allowed to leave

>>508416526 (OP)
Because I can literally walk in and out of the bunkers and there is a nearly 99% chance that every nation from Zimbabwe to Austria has a pegboard of all the save houses and bunkers congress is gonna flee to.

Let me explain how, in case any congress is reading.

>>508416812
Are you in mainland China? Or North Korea?

>>508416812
leave where?

Appalachians do not like the government.

Southern people do not like the government.

There was even a big war against the government if you know history.

>>508417068
neither

I drove the Blue Ridge Parkway a few years back and it was easily the most dramatic and beautiful scenery I saw in Murica.
All things considered, though, Los Angeles would make for an easier living.

>>508417218
Do they like big mining corporations that come and take their money and ruin their land and leave while leaving the men physically damaged and the rivers poisoned?

Appalachia is one big gas and oil well, the opinions of the locals on that is kinda *shrug* cuz they don't own the big parcels or the mineral rights.

>>508416526 (OP)
yeah yall city boys cmon over hehe

>>508416526 (OP)
Actual question, how do you deal with the continental wildfires that would eventually reach you?

>>508417459
Los Angeles doesn't get enough rain to be pretty.
The Blue Ridge Parkway sadly is mostly closed now in North Carolina (the prettiest part) because of storm damage. And the part in Virginia kinda sucks, except the part north of Roanoke, that part's not so bad, but don't get suckered into the section of Blue Ridge between NC border and Roanoke, there's little there (not much of a view).

Iran doesn't have the ability to nuke America

>>508417751
I don't think I've ever seen a case where the government used eminent domain to seize a mine that the mining company was still using. There's plenty of cases where the coal or whatever they are mining dries up, and they sell it back to the state, but never the state pre-emptively taking the mine back to control pollution.

>>508417751
The rivers and streams are already poisoned. Including headwater streams in WV and parts of Blue ridge. Corporations poisoned it decades ago and in some area (Ohio river watershed) still do.

>>508416933
1- lazy construction...
under a hospital? Really? Common niggers, it's a literal temple to your hubris, at least remove all the nurse super hero stickers. Ur just larping at this point.

2- anybody with satellites (or access to satellites) can just brainlessly search for anything that isn't natural. There are like fifty constellations now, it's pathetically easy to get high quality up to date sat images and histories if you are willing to spend, just a tiny bit of money.

3- relatively high population density + American culture. You might think it's private but I'm pretty sure there is a homeless guy living about 100 feet out of sight. This is a guy who knows most of your habits, if he is conscious. Moreover, everyone in the local community says "it's a free country, he can just live there" you are the bad guy trying to build your gay home out here. If some Bosnian gentleman asks where you live so he can rape you they will laugh and show him the map.

4- your wife is going to take her sail foam. Good luck

5- bad allies, by the very nature of being a paranoid fuck worried about getting nuked, you are gonna attract freaks like me. Who walk into and out of locations we arn't supposed to on your permission and liability. Naturally most won't tell you. I do because nothing ever happens and it's funny to tell you niggers no. But to summarize, your buddies know where you live and think you are an asshole who deserves what you get.

6- infertile soil, what are you niggers gonna do in the aftermath? Eat each other? This is Appalachia, it's a kind place for homeless bums and autistic freaks. But you niggers live on the labor of others, you are just another frightened deer at the watering hole. This is a mountain, not the fertile crescent,

Can we please ALL COLLECTIVELY APOLOGIZE for hating on fallout 76
It was the best fallout in every way
I will start you follow
I am sorry Todd
I am sorry Bethesda
I am not worthy to play the chaotic masterpiece which is fallout 76 the best fallout, the only fallout where your choice dont matter and being a raider is fun as fuck

>>508418026
untrue, some are pristine, some are totally sludge, it's a WIDE spectrum

>>508418145
wouldn't it be cool to see those places irl?

>>508418026
>GOVERNMENT poisoned it decades ago
FIFY

>>508417554
The summary is, the USA will airstrike your town if you try to kick out the mining feds.

>>508418145
If you truly apologize then show me your Fallout 76 receipt now or Appalachia will get it
I WILL make Fallout 76 a reality

The entire globe is going to be destroyed in a great cataclysm caused by earth's mantle separating from the crust and a massive earth shattering volcano exploding tsunami fest that wipes out 99% of all human life.

>>508418331
wow they fit a lot of people in that valley

>>508418284
there's some environmental orgs that are suing the worst of the strip mines - the one that rack up dozens of violations a year - but unfortunately the state and federal government doesn't care cuz they are in bed together

>>508418221
>wouldn't it be cool to see those places irl?
Coal mines and swamps? Lmao? Not really

>>508417931
That's because the state works for the owners of the land, not the other way around.

>>508417218
they wouldnt like niggers if they actually didnt like the government in the south, or is that just columbus georgia with it's amusement ride of their dad's nigger dick they all love riding and hate that people won't with them

>>508418521
swamps are actually quite nice irl if they are at high enough elevation they remain cool in the summer and have interesting plants and buzzing humming insects and there's lots of lush green paths in and out of the swampiest bits
I recommend Blach Ash swamp in the Asaph Wild Area (pa). I didn't get to go super far but the paths connecting the swamp were like fairytale green.

>>508418228
The government is the corporate lobby. There are studies that have been done to track bills that cater to corporations and they pass 98% of the time. The entire campaign funding/finance system for US government positions, especially congress, is geared specifically towards big banking and big corporations (same thing) being able to give fuck you money to whoever tows their line.

>>508418221
I agree that there are pristine spots as well, especially upper watersheds, but them middle and lower watersheds are basically fucked, even when the water looks ok it still tests with all kinds of industrial chemicals.

>>508418432
it is kyoto. if you go to the famous kyoto bamboo forrest and keep hiking upward past all the tourists, there is a view of the city. It is one of the only place where it can be clean and peaceful despite being so densely populated.

>>508416526 (OP)
>hiding out in appalachia
It depends on what you mean by that, If you are just going to live there and work remotely/find a job its pretty okay albeit boring. The infrastructure is failing all over the place so things will never be super comfy. The people are friendly in that they want nothing to do with you and will leave you alone/actively attempt to ignore your existence unless you have the proper values for the area.

If you mean living off the land/being a wilderness man, doing so in the US these days is a death sentence unless its a very dry climate with low amounts of vegetation. The wildlife is diseased as fuck and it gets worse every single year to go with a coyote problem that is getting worse. There are also more and more ticks thanks to the unchecked deer and coyote amounts. Those ticks also have more pathogens as time passes.
Its actually amazing how the fact everything is fucking diseased in the US wilderness is ignored because it will eventually be a horrible problem.

>>508418828
>but them middle and lower watersheds are basically fucked
elk river middle watershed is gorgeous and well preserved given all the mining and gas extraction going on nearby - take elk river road upstream from webster springs - webster springs has an awesome gift shop for lathed wood bowls if you like that (at good prices), and a meat market with frozen butchered local cuts - but the real prize is the gorgeous crayfish-filled swimming holes further upstream
Whitaker falls it the main one, and its really pretty, but its gonna be somewhat crowded on a hot summer day - there's other littler ones nearby

>even when the water looks ok it still tests with all kinds of industrial chemicals
you could be right

>>508419171
I didn't realize Japan was so densely populated that's insane.

>>508418780
How miserably hot does West Virginia get?
What sucks about America is they usually dont tell you why noone lives there until you actually move there and start living
I know there is a catch why West Virginia is not as popular as new york or California so whats the catch in Vest Virginia?

>>508419303
Also to cont, I've long had thoughts that the state of US wildlife is perhaps a result of foreign sabotage.
It'd be hard for them to catch some retard releasing ticks holding pathogens or infecting deer with shit.
I also hope the government eventually pays attention and combats it before wandering in the woods/living near tall grass is highly dangerous.

>>508417554
I'm fully aware of this shit. My grandmother was from Omar, West Virginia. All of my mother's family are Appalachian. Lot of men in her family worked in the mines.

>>508419531
It depends totally on elevation - but I've been up to Spruce Knob (the highest point) on heat wave days and it's still pretty uncomfortable there but not humid. Dolly Sods is maybe a good bet for ultra-hot days cuz you get a persistent cold wind blowing there over the plateau most of the year.

>I know there is a catch
if you need specialized medical care, or want a good grocery store you are sticking to the biggest towns or driving hours

new york is glaciated so the land is somewhat flattened out, outside of the highest mountains, so there's broader patches to farm

there's wider valleys in far-eastern WV - but its gonna be hot there in the summer - and it's not quite as pretty

> so whats the catch in Vest Virginia?
it's not QUITE as high elevation as regular virginia (5500ish)
or TN/C (6500ish), so its a bit hotter in summer than the highest elevation terrain

>>508419531
>West Virginia
Its random year to year, but its going to be extremely humid most of it, you'll get the normal 90-100 degree summers, and 10-20 degree winters except with a lot of rain/snow.

There is a reason you see rotting wood buildings/rusting metal all over the place in the state.

>>508419767
Have you been to that area as an adult? Very very pretty. Even the mined part, it's a surreal landscape.

>>508419777
Wait regular Virginia is higher elevation than West Virginia?
What is all this stuff about the mountains then

>>508420031
I have not but I intend to.

>>508419999
good thing there's swimming holes (and interestingly rivers are one of the few places no trespassing doesn't totally apply) - due to the popularity of fishing most spots along rivers are publicly accessible.

>>508416526 (OP)
Meh. Sydney and Melbourne might get glassed (hope springs eternal), but who the fuck would waste a perfectly good nuke on Brisbane?

>>508419999
Damn quads well i move to a new state every year i have live in 12 states so far atleast a year in each so maybe ill move to West Virginia next

>>508420038
West Virginia is on average higher than Virginia, and Virginia has a big section of it that's coastal/foothills
West Virginia starts as alternating broad valleys and high narrow longitudinal hills in the far east, then you get to the highest hill (spruce mountain) and the wide valleys disappear and the hills get slooooowly flatter as you head down to the ohio river

Virginia has Mt Rogers/Grayson highlands which is taller than anything in WV, but it's just a tiny slice of WV

>>508420057
drive the coalfields expressway, it's breathtaking
and if you have money - rent an atv or go on a tour

>>508420166
I read australian food journalism cuz I like it and brisbane seems quite hip - lots of interesting restaurant options and apparently lots of backpackers too

>>508420124
I don't think anyone would stop you from fishing in most places, but I wouldn't trust a lot of smaller ponds/creeks personally. I also am kind of wary of the ohio river despite the fact it should be relatively safe.
West Virginia has a problem with having a ton of old septic tanks leaking into the creeks unchecked/people dumping chemical waste in the most random places.

>>508420429
um don't swim in the ohio river lol
but it's pretty to look at
and take the ferry to blennerhassett island, and tour the mansion
> I also am kind of wary of the ohio river despite the fact it should be relatively safe.
you just have to figure out where the higher elevation creeks are that don't have inflow from mines
I've swam in plenty of super clean creeks in WV

if you want to see clean water I recommend holly river state park - you can part at the downhill rail trail entrance and walk up to the old fire tower site - sadly no tower anymore would be an amazing view - but you can see the source-water of the buckhannon river and its like blue and green
there's lots of calcium carbonate in the rocks from the crushed up old fossils and it colors the water pretty colors if there's not too much sediment rushing around

>>508416526 (OP)
I have a comfy spot in Argentina already.

>>508420429
I am immune to chemical waste and raw sewage
People don’t realize but you cant eat raw sewage as long as you dont consume food at-least three days before and after

Oh man PA here, CWD the whitetail wasting disease (literally misfolding prions) is getting much worse here and spreading. They're basically handing out hunting licenses trying to fight it back.

https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/outdoors/2025/05/why-pennsylvania-allocated-a-record-13m-antlerless-deer-licenses-for-hunters.html

> Pennsylvania’s 2025 statewide antlerless deer license allocation of 1,312,000 is an eye-popping number. Not only is that a record number of permits issued, it’s also up more than 10% from the 1,186,000 allocated by the Pennsylvania Game Commission in 2024.
>“CWD was just detected there so the objective is now to reduce the deer population,” Stainbrook said. “So, the allocation is set to a level to achieve an increase in the harvest of two antlerless deer per square mile to begin reducing deer numbers there.”

Yeah, the state of US wildlife is a horrible issue that seems will be ignored up until it becomes disastrous to anyone going outside on the east coast.
I think the only thing that has been relatively safe/resistant has been opossums, even the raccoons are pretty nasty most of the time.
