Should Preppers Move to Another Country before the Economic Collapse?

Published Jun 9, 2025, 1:45 AM

Are you considering whether to move to another country before an economic collapse hits? This Ready Your Future episode explores the real experiences of an American expat who moved to the Philippines 12 years ago to escape economic pressures, tax hikes, and healthcare mandates.

Todd breaks down the realities of expatriating for preparedness reasons, sharing insights from someone who lived through the challenges firsthand. You'll discover the unexpected difficulties with food quality, infrastructure problems, construction nightmares, and security concerns that many don't consider before making the leap.

This episode examines whether moving abroad truly offers better survival prospects during an economic collapse or if staying in the United States might actually be the smarter preparedness strategy. Todd also explores alternative solutions like relocating within the U.S. to rural areas that offer self-sufficiency without sacrificing modern conveniences. Whether you're retired, planning for the future, or worried about America's direction, this episode will challenge your assumptions about international relocation as a preparedness strategy.
