Petersburg, Kentucky
Depending on what kind of doomsday prepper you are, this will be a big stop. You don't need any of that fancy-schmancy "science" stuff. You just need what the Bible says, as told by a guy who doesn't have a non-honorary degree from any kind of religious studies institution. Learn about dinosaurs—not from some "paleontologist," but from a paleo-artist and singer/songwriter.
Williamstown, Kentucky
Remember, the entire point of Noah's story is that God won't strike humanity down again with a flood. That doesn't mean he won't do it with cleansing atomic fire. This attraction isn't quite built yet, but when it is, it'll be right next to the Creation Museum. It's one-stop shopping for people who love missing the point!

New York City
Sure, the phrase "liberal media" can mean anything you want it to if you try hard enough. But since one TV channel has a famous address, you might as well start there. Stand outside of NBC and hiss loudly at passersby. Maybe you'll get through to someone.

Dandridge, Tennessee
You'll no doubt have plenty of canned goods in your doomsday bunker. Why not see where it all began? At the Bush's Visitor Center in Chestnut Hill, Tennessee, you can watch movies about the history of the family, follow the bean's journey from inside a giant replica can, and view a timeline of the company over the years. The Pinto Bean Pie also has rave reviews on Google.

China
Yes, it's foreign location. But listen—at some point, the ammo is going to run out. That's when your body itself is going to have to be the weapon. You need to learn kung fu as soon as possible. The quicker you get this over with, the quicker you're back to your bunker.

Ottensheim, Austria
This was one of our favorite oddball hotels. It's also one of the most practical. When you leave your bunker, you may need to take refuge in the sewer pipes at night as you forage for food. Better to practice now so that you're prepared for the real thing.

Freeport, Maine
This is it: the one-stop shop for everything you need to survive. L.L. Bean makes legitimately good hunting, fishing, and camping products. You'll need all of those things—plus your wits—in order to survive. Don't get distracted by stuff you don't need. Purchase rope, water purification supplies, a good hat, and probably a Dutch oven, the Swiss Army knife of cooking gear.

Freeport, Maine
This has all the advantages of the L.L. Bean store, with a trade-off. The selection isn't as good, but stuff is way cheaper. Plus, you can buy stuff with other peoples' names stitched right into the clothing! That way the zombies or the Russians or whoever it is you're afraid of won't be able to tell who you are. They'll think they know your name; they'll think they have you pegged—but they'll be wrong!

Cleveland, Ohio
It doesn't have to be this exact program, but you're going to need to find some place to learn how to make soap and candles and cheese for when everything goes to hell. You also want to try and find a place that looks manly enough that your camo clothing and massive Bowie knife aren't going to look out of place.

Eddy County, New Mexico
Again, this is sort of a scouting trip. Get to know these caves. When the dust settles, you may want to work your way out to New Mexico and claim these caves as your home. Of course, there are plenty of caves to pick from, so find one that's convenient for you.
Kentucky and Tennessee
This is another great place to check out. Numerous sources cite this as one of the safest places in the country in terms of safety from natural disasters and manmade events alike. You may even want to move out here, but before you do, come visit to see how you like it.

Humboldt County, Nevada
Look, everyone knows that when civilization's over, paper money and all those little digital transactions on bank computers aren't going to be worth anything. Once the dark years are over and we start to rebuild, however, people are always going to want gold. Right now, Nevada leads the country in gold production. Get out there, and stock up.
