A '''retreat''' is a commonly used term for a place of refuge for those in the Survivalist movement.  Survivalist retreats are intended to be self-sufficient and are generally located in lightly-[[population density|populated]] [[rural]] areas with [[small town values]] - [[conservative values]], such as the [[American Redoubt]] states of [[Idaho]], [[Montana]], [[Wyoming]], [[Oregon|Eastern Oregon]] or [[Oregon|Southwestern Oregon]], [[Washington State|Eastern Washington]] and [[Utah]].

Perhaps the most important newsletter on survivalism and survivalist retreats in the 1970s was the ''Personal Survival ("P.S.") Letter'' (circa 1977-1982) published by [[Mel Tappan]], who also authored the books ''Survival Guns'' and ''Tappan on Survival''. The newsletter included columns from Tappan himself as well from Jeff Cooper, Al J. Venter, Bill Pier, Bruce D. Clayton, Rick Fines, Nancy Mack Tappan, J.B. Wood, Dr. Carl Kirsch, Charles Avery, Karl Hess, Eugene A. Barron, Janet Groene, Dean Ing, Bob Taylor, Reginald Bretnor, C.G. Cobb, and several other writers, some under pen names. The majority of this newsletter revolved around selecting, constructing and logistically equipping survival retreats.<ref>[http://www.frfrogspad.com/persurv.htm Magazine Articles By Jeff Cooper</ref> Following Tappan's death in 1980, Karl Hess took over publishing the newsletter, eventually renaming it ''Survival Tomorrow''.
