>If you build an off grid house in Whistler BC you are highly unlikely to be targeted by a nuke, or be in the fallout zone of any nukes. Rural east coast and southeastern US are also great options. You can even set up a plan for a permanent farming installation in the event of a disaster.
You'll still just be a resource cache for whatever roaming bands of anarchic clans that develop amidst the fallout. And subsistence farming is a complete fantasy; you'll starve very quickly. The only survival scenario that is realistic in an apocalyptic world is one built around trade, alliances, and firepower. Feudalism, essentially. Anyone who thinks they'll be able to go their own way and remain hidden will be the first ones killed off.

Or tools/medications you don't already have. Or any essential consumable that has a shelf life of (if you're lucky...) less than fifty years.
