The American Redoubt is a relocation concept formulated by New York Times best-selling[1] survivalist novelist and blogger James Wesley Rawles.
This plan designates five western states (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, eastern Oregon, and eastern Washington) as a safe haven for survivalists, conservatives, Christians and Jews. [2], [3]
"I'm often asked why I make such a 'big deal' about choosing conservative Christians, Messianic Jews, or Orthodox Jews for neighbors. The plain truth is that in a societal collapse there will be a veritable vacuum of law enforcement. In such times, with a few exceptions, it will only be the God fearing that will continue to be law abiding. Choose your neighborhood wisely." - James Wesley, Rawles[4]
The concept was endorsed by former Presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin, who had recently relocated his entire extended family to western Montana.[5] It also soon inspired the launch of a weekly podcast by Christian Libertarian journalist John Jacob Schmidt, called Radio Free Redoubt.[6] The Seattle Times characterized the American Redoubt movement as appealing to "a growing number of people."[7]
