curious where did you go exactly in Yukon? being a hermit, it's been on a list of places I might escape to. Yes, I also believe Yukon and North West Territories is the best place to survive a nuclear war.

The problem with antarctica is that its too cold and lacking in resources. Yukon, NWT, is teeming with stuff you can hunt and eat. I've been reading about Inuits a lot and its fascinating how they have survived.

Just drove down to BC from Fairbanks Alaska and camped along the way. I believe we took highway 2. We stopped at Whitehorse and a hot springs campground. Realistically finding a place along the coast of Alaska would probably greatly your improve chances of surviving the winter. Much much milder winters next to the Ocean. And better availability of food. Though Alaska cities might be targeted. Nuke Map might be of help

I've often thought that New Zealand is the least bad post-nuclear life. It's simply so far from anything. Even Australia is a big distance away.
Take it from me, at this juncture, New Zealand still doesn’t feel far enough.

And likely teeming with stuff that can hunt and eat you. Well, just grizzlies I guess.

I feel like most places have an animal just as bad, if not only because it could be a society without hospitals.
