New to group, but not to prepping. I prepped for years in Mississippi, near to a fairly large city. Then decided all the prepping would not do much good because we were close to the city, which had nearly one million people of which almost none could be self sufficient in a SHTF situation. Then started a plan to move to northern middle Arkansas close to two large lakes with lots of great hunting and no large cities. Abandoned that plan after several years due to weather (cold winters and very hot summers)and poor soil in the area that would make it difficult to have a decent garden. I started researching South and central America and settled on Ecuador as a good bug out preppers paradise. First reason the weather is nice all year not too hot or cold. You will not freeze to death or die of heat exhaustion, if the worst happens. Second the people here grow food all year, three or 4 crops a year. Fresh local grown fruits and vegetables all year. For the most part the soil is mineral rich soil, so nutritious food. The people are used to barter and the community and family is strong here. The cost of living is very low. Almost all fruits and vegetables grown here are very cheap, especially bananas. They don’t call them banana republics for nothing. fresh fish, we are right on the ocean. 90 percent of the men in our small fishing town make there living from fishing. Politically the country is close to neutral, no foreign entanglements or very little. After 4 years here it still looks like a great place to live and ride out the coming financial collapse of the world economy. If I’m wrong and that doesn’t happen in my life time, I still love living here.

Glad to hear that. We visited Ecuador not quite 2 years ago and really liked it. Hope to visit again soon. We met some expats there on a bus, and enjoyed visiting with them.

My dad retired to Ecuador. Sounds like a great place.
