In the mountains and hollows, plenty can be built to mitigate those problems...even nukes, technically. Lots of soil stops lots of problems.<br /><br />And meth heads, like anyone else who doesn't want to live, aren't worth a moment of your thought. This much is certain---bad guys must be stopped.

Coming from som...IMHO it's a sound observation. Coming from someone within the area, I dare say that it is the Hindu Kush of the United States. Sparsely populated with hard men you generally aren't advised to fuck with, the only downside I see it the meth heads and comms. It would be a nightmare to try to pacify, the lack of roads, the lack of local intel, the sheer gap in knowledge of bushcraft between the locals and some limp-dick from Washington. I know personally of a few groups in SW VA not listed that are rather serious men, but probably prefer to remain unlisted. Honestly, the biggest threat IMHO is drone and air assets being a huge problem. You don't get up in these hills with vehicles or tanks, the roads and infrastructure simply aren't there.
