    Any tropical rainforest country where even if the laws are on the books, it would take all of their resources to enforce them. In America, Colombia and Ecuador seem like top options. In Africa, Cameroon and Gabon. In Asia, Borneo (Malaysia/Indonesia) or New Guinea (Indonesia/PNG).

    if you have to care about regulation, you are not off grid.

    i would say the answer is country with large off grid areas, where no one will bother you and you have something to hunt. northern canada? siberia?

      I agree. But some countries have very strict land regulation laws. So you can’t build your log cabin in any forest you like. If they find you, they can actually seize your cabin and allot hefty fines!

      Yeah, I thought about Canada too! Siberia… I’m not so sure after seeing Nexpo’s video about Khamar-Daban incident.
