Somewhere far away from other people, in a rural area. Problem is, everyone is going to try that. I highly recommend the book “How To Survive The End Of The World As We Know It” by James Wesley Rawles.

This is the best reasonable book I know about how to survive this kind of thing.
You can also read The Enchiridion by Epictetus. The stoic philosophy is designed to be a useful tool for the mind in times of uncertainty.
Some of my favorite instructional survival books are:
-98.6 Degrees and When All Hell Breaks Loose by Cody Lundin (Pretty basic skills taught in this)
- How to Survive the End of the World As We Know It by James Wesley Rawles
For fiction books that are fun and teach good survival skills:
- The survivalist series by A. American

I've been slowly working through the reading list on this website and have found many good recommendations there.
​
I bought When Disaster Strikes by Matthew Stein, but wasn't a fan of it and some of his ideas of survival were kind of out there, so I don't recommend that one.
