Imagine a very likely scenario, of civil order collapsing and a martial law being imposed over the entire nation. As a survivalist, you cherish your personal freedom. Therefore, you should be concerned regarding what thesafest place during martial lawis.
In this article, I will list the safest places during martial law, as well as the best spots to hide your survival supplies. But first, a few words about martial law and what it means. Let us begin, shall we?
Martial law takes place when a government suspend everyday civil laws and rights. In some instances, a military is the one that imposes its control over the civilians. Martial law is declared during nation-wide or region-wide emergencies, such as war, natural disasters, civil unrest, and so forth.
According to the established U.S. legislations, a country-wide martial law can be declared by either the Congress or the President. In addition, any State Governor can declare martial law in their state. Similar laws can apply to almost any country, with varying levels of strictness of the said law.
Martial law is not a rare phenomenon by far. In the USA alone it was declared almost 70 times, while only 2 of these times are related to a war against a foreign nation. A large portion of these instances is, in fact, related to riots, civil unrest, or even labor disputes.
The situation can be even more harrowing outside the United States, especially in the countries where democracy and personal freedom are completely unheard of.
As you understand by now, martial law, even if it’s seemingly necessary, can hinder your rights, privacy, and independence. We will now take a look at what measures can be taken during martial law. Please keep in mind that I do not support physically resisting governmental or military forces.
Top 10 Safest Places During Martial Law
1. An Off-Grid Cabin or Tiny House
A small and remote house is the ideal location during martial law. This could be a cabin, a tiny house, or some sort of a secret retreat. It should be off the grid for two reasons:
An off-the-grid house does not depend on external power sources, such as the national powerlines. You can produce your own energy by using solar panels, hydropower, or wind power. You can read more about these natural electricity sources from the linked articles. If you produce your own electricity independently, no one can control you by turning the power off.
Every house and apartment usually have an address. Eventually this makes the things easier for the military and the government, as they go from door to door, checking on everyone. An off-grid house does not need to have an official address. You can remain almost anonymous and disappear off the grid, as you wait out whatever caused the martial law to be deployed.
2. A Bunker
A classic location: your bug out shelter or any other bunker can definitely function as a safe haven. You will need to ensure that it’s appropriate stocked with such supplies and items as:
Water
Canned and unperishable food
Fuel for the generator. Alternatively, you can use a portable power station, it’s much more reliable and quieter.
Spare clothes
Radio
Blankets
First aid kit
Self-defense weapons
Flashlights
Once you have the place prepared, never disclose its location to anyone outside your small group. If the martial law is imposed, choose the most inconspicuous route to get to your bunker. Listen to the radio to stay updated when the things have cooled down and you can go back home. You will need a radio that does not require batteries and can last for a long time. I recommend getting American Red Cross Emergency Radio. It can be powered by hand crank or solar panel. This radio also includes a smart phone charger, flashlight, flashing beacon, and an alarm clock.
3. Away From Most of the Civilization
Unlike the specific places on this list, this one is a general recommendation. Staying away from other people and the cities could be the solution you’re looking for. As history proved time and time again, it’s not just the military or the invading forces that you should be concerned about. It’s also the people next door.
When the supplies run low, the unprepared people will start looting their neighbors. The civilized ones will quickly become uncivilized. The urban streets will be unsafe, with riots and looting everywhere. It’s understandable on some level, since everyone wants to survive. But it’s also a good reason to look for a shelter elsewhere, as far from the urban centers as possible.
4. Your Own House
That’s right, your house can be more than enough during the martial law period. Think about it, you already have all the supplies and comfort, why look for it in remote places? As long as you do not confront the authorities, you might do just fine by staying in your house.

The video below will shock you because you will be among the first to watching this secret!
The trick to staying home is laying low. Continue your life as if nothing happened. This might go against your beliefs, but your survival should be the priority. Stock your house with extra food and water, and simply behave “normally”. Going outside could be dangerous because of two major reasons: the military presence, and whatever disaster or disorder that forced the military presence to appear. Staying home could be the wisest thing to do.
5. An Abandoned Location
If you don’t have a bunker, tiny house or cabin, any abandoned building might do. You still need to ensure that its location is as removed as possible from the military and governmental presence. If it’s outside the city, then it’s even better. This can be an abandoned factory, farm, barn, warehouse, and so forth.
Scout this location before deciding whether or not this will be your shelter. Ensure that it’s not visited by other people throughout the day. Check its general state and structure. Rotting or infested buildings are too unsafe to stay in.
Once you decide on a building, stash essential supplies there. This way, whenever you need to relocate, the supplies will already be there, waiting for you.
6. The Mountains
The mountains are a very secluded and inaccessible location. No law representative will bother climbing a cliff just to reprimand you for leaving the city.
Retreating to the mountains can also feel like going back to the roots, to your true self. While the martial law limits you as individual, the mountains free you. The air is fresh up there, and no law is enforced on you.
Of course, you need to be completely prepared to spend some time in that challenging environment, especially during the winter. The supplies might get very low and scarce. The weather makes it even more difficult, and you need to know how to treat frost injuries.
7. Any Prepper Community
Why facing a country-wide crisis alone, when you can rely on a large group of like-minded preppers, survivalists and off-gridders? Sometimes a group of people has better chances of survival, especially during a large crisis.
As a group or community, you can pool your resources together. Different people can have different skills that are useful to others. One is a medic, while another one is a hunter or an experienced cook. Together, your skills and expertise complement each other and strengthen your community.
While prepper communities are not wildly advertised, I do have a list of known off-grid communities. If some of them are nearby, consider joining them during trying times.
8. A Neighboring Country
While seemingly abandoning your country may look like an unpatriotic action, it’s actually quite the opposite. When the government imposes its regime and strips away basic human rights, the most patriotic action can be crossing the border into a more “relaxed” country. There, you can recuperate, regroup, and then return when the circumstances allow it.
For example, if you live in the United States and the martial law is declared, you can relocate to Mexico, Canada, or a nearby island country or territory. The government won’t pursue you there, since they will probably have much bigger objectives on their hands.
Make sure you’re familiar enough with the local language and customs. They will come handy should you seek a temporary employment and a place to stay.
Keep in mind that in some cases, you might need to leave for a much farther country, such as the safest country in case of nuclear war.
9. The Armed Forces
This might be a surprising suggestion, but the military is probably the most secure and well-supplied environment to be in. I’m not encouraging you to enlist just for the sake of surviving a particular scenario. I’m just saying that if you’re already in the military, or a civilian working at a military base, then you don’t have to hide elsewhere during the martial law.
The military’s obvious advantage is that it received supplies and working equipment before the rest of the population. Also, the military bases are well-fortified and guarded. The downsize, of course, is that during an international conflict or a civil war, the bases are the first ones to be attacked.
10. The Great Outdoors
Mountains and cabins are specific places in the wild, where you can stay safe during the martial law. But they are not the only ones. In fact, the entire wilderness is at your disposal. In almost every country, the inhabited areas are much smaller in comparison to the uninhabited outdoors. You can literally pitch a tent in the woods and weather the national crisis.
Naturally, this requires a few skills, which are listed in my article on basic survival skills. In addition, you will need a lot of knowledge and information on such topics as making tools, identifying plants, foraging, hunting, fishing, building a shelter, defending against animals, and so on.
Final Thoughts
The purpose of this article is to provide you with ideas of what can happen when authorities declare martial law. When they do declare martial law, I am in no way telling you that you should misbehave and ignore civil law, civil authority, the federal government, the president, or a military commander.
Ignoring existing laws could cause a person to end up in a federal court, or in military tribunals that go through a military court that could be on almost any military base.
During martial law, the constitution (in America), your civil rights, and any other existing laws may be suspended, so do what you think is necessary to retain some sort of justice and control over your own life and safety.
SET SAIL!! With a boat on a river that will take you to a river that flows into the ocean. First, think about fishing lines, hooks, canes, raincoats, and... and the water? Water is all around you. You can drink seawater!
Take a can of water and fill it with salted water (black water, urine, etc.) and place it in the center of a pan on the stove. Cover the center can with a large glass of water turned upside down in the pan. The dirty water will boil. The condensation will drip from the inside of the large can into the pan.
This water is pure. Tasteless, colorless, odorless, and bacteria-free.
So: you need to be able to make a fire on board the boat. Afterward, you fish, eat, and let yourself be carried away by the ocean currents.
DEFICIT SPENDING The following analysis is submitted for your consideration and comments.
Deficit spending is the source of government debt. It is initiated by a central Bank [the Federal Reserve] buying a government asset [Deficit Spending U.S. Treasury security] with book-entry credit [a debt of the Bank (FRNote) which had no assets at origin]. When the government issues checks to pay bills using this credit, the increase of value in the market is inflation.
The Bank then sells [auctions involving the FRBNY] the security to the market [which increases the National Debt] and covertly pockets the money received from circulation. The BOG control parameters of audits to avoid review of the transactions.
Historically the Fed’s credit was identified as Redeemable in Gold, and then Redeemable in Lawful Money. The Fed never redeemed any of the credit. In 1933, bogus legislation identified the credit as a Legal Tender in 31 CFR §462. The Fed’s book-entry credit [FRN’s] thus became a debt of the public. Any contract based upon fraud is void from its inception.
The Fed claims to be a government agency. A for-profit entity is not a suitable agency.
The FRBNY’s exclusive handling of auctions to roll-over Treasury securities [government money], which currently amount to greater than $15 Trillion annually, have never been audited. Ref. 31 CFR §375.3. The relevant accounts are client accounts, not operational accounts. The BOG establishes parameters of audits. The BOG can also terminate any of the 108 Directors of the 12 franchised Banks without cause or recourse.
The auctions ostensibly redeem securities in the market that have matured. Select New York City banks designated as Primary Dealers have major responsibility to collect maturing securities and receive a commission. It is alleged from TreasuryDirect Institutional tabulations that the Deficit Spending Treasury securities that have been purchased from the Treasury with book-entry credit, and have accumulated to $36 Trillion, are covertly auctioned as components. The components are alleged to be distributed to Primary Dealers and covert shareholders of a closely held corporate Federal Reserve Board of Governors, Inc., or some such firm. All profit of the Fed legally belongs to the government.
The GAO has standing authority to audit any handling of government money. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in affirming the District Court’s Opinion in Bloomberg v. Federal Reserve, 2010, has also declared such Federal Reserve Bank records are subject to FOIA production. Congress, with too many members receiving financial benefits, seems destined to ignore any threat.
Deficit spending is the road to national bankruptcy. Rothschild banks have a historical record of impoverishing European societies, bankrupting governments, and enriched bankers from similar financial schemes used to dominate societies. Ref. FATAL EMBRACE; [Ashkenazi bankers] AND THE STATE by Benjamin Ginsberg.
William Blum in KILLING HOPE; U.S. MILITARY AND CIA INTERVENTIONS and Michel Chossudovsky in GLOBALIZATION OF POVERTY AND THE NWO identify the IMF as a financial facilitator. John Perkins in CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN traces control of the IMF to Wall Street. The recent abrogation of Greek Sovereignty by the Troika is a similar use of national debt. The U.S. government is next in line.
It’s about as regular as clockwork . Every time there’s another mass shooting, the gun control crowd talks about restricting the Second Amendment; enacting what they call “common sense” gun law.- SEE VIDEO! The only thing is, those laws are only common sense to those whose main goal is to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. As we all know, those laws aren’t going to stop criminals and are only going to criminalize honest, hard-working Americans who want to keep their guns. There are two results of this political posturing. One is an increase in gun sales. People become afraid that they won’t be able to buy their favorite gun and so rush out to buy it before it becomes illegal. Does anyone really think that these people are going to peacefully turn over their guns, just because a law is passed, outlawing them? Former President Obama can justly be called the firearms industry’s number one salesman, for the massive number of gun purchases that his anti-gun rhetori...

I don’t know if you’ve ever lived through a major power outage, but I have. I live in a hurricane zone, so I guess it’s no surprise that I would end up suffering through a hurricane sometime. The one I got wasn’t one of the big, sexy ones which brought in FEMA agents and lots of non-profit agencies to help us recover, but it was bad enough that it took a week for our power to get back on, so we could put our lives back together. You don’t really realize how much you need electric power, until you are left without it. As a society, we are addicted to electricity. Pretty much everything we do uses electricity in one way or another, even activities which we think aren’t electrified. When the power goes out, you really notice it; and the longer it is out, the more things it affects. Life gets harder rather quickly, as we wonder how we are going to do even the basic necessities for survival, let alone the day-to-day activities we are used to.
