Ecuador Farm Update & My Favorite Squash, Sambo (cucurbita ficifolia)
Просмотров 7692 месяца назад
The weather here on the farm in Ecuador is changing, getting cooler and rainier as El Niño ends and La Niña begins. One of my favorite, easy to grow, highly productive types of squash loves this weather. I’m talking about cucurbita ficifolia, known locally as sambo.

Update From Quito Ecuador - Last Year’s Crime Statistics - also testing a new camera

Update from Quito Ecuador, discussing last year’s murder rate pushing Ecuador up to the notorious most dangerous country in South America, my opinions about whether expats should continue to move to Ecuador, and also testing out my be camera in low light and moderate wind. The awkwardly named Insta360 Ace Pro. I still need to figure out many of the settings, but it seems to do a pretty good job...

I'm Kashif from Pakistan willing to do immigration plz guide me
Seems interesting as I sit here at my cubical desk bored with life and getting fatter.
Crime is rising in Cuenca w Scopolamine attacks , armed robberies and murders ..It is a shame that Visitors and Expats are their targets ..The police does nothing..I personally had my wallet and fone stolen both at Parque Calderon but nothing else in the 5 yrs I lived here ..Vilcabamba is now a very crime riddled place w constant home invasions and also murders ..Cuenca is definitely much safer than the Coast ..Definitely much safer than USA !!!
Glad I found your channel. Will be retiring in about a year. The Cuenca Ecuador area is high on my list. Thinking it's reasonably safe. Am I being naive?
Will you came back to Afghanistan?
@@warstrategy since there are no U.S. bases to work on there, I doubt it. I’ve seen enough to have no interest in visiting as a tourist. The country has some beautiful landscapes, and the people can be very generous and friendly when they want to be, but it’s not worth the risk. I’m not into disaster tourism, and Afghanistan is a disaster of human suffering and needless misery.
So an indonesian can work as a scientist or cooking assistant???? Please really curious😢
In theory, yes, but in practice it’s very difficult. As an Indonesian most jobs there would require you first obtain a green card to be able to legally work in the U.S. For a job working as a scientists it would depend on what science/research group you were working for. If an Indonesian company or university sent a scientific team there you could work for them. The U.S. operated research stations like McMurdo rent out access to teams from all over the work.
@@FallofftheMap amazing i have hope now i really want to just live in snow without sunlight just for 6 months it Will be awesome.... But i am not a scientist i am still a 3rd year accounting student I don't want money or anything i just want to experience living there and i am willing to work hard as a cooking assistant in which i read that cooking assistant don't need any requirments anyone can help
I have dual nationality , living in Ecuador, short term rental properties are kind of expensive, however veggiesand fruits are very affordable. Come to Ecuador digital nomads.❤
There is NO crisis in Ecuador. Wake up, people.
Thank u
Election loss 2016. Next strategy after consultation with 3 idiots? They thought she would never lose. 😊
You are a trooper!!
Oye. What negotiations can u use so you don’t give a security deposit because the owners will just keep it when renting an apartment? Can a retired person buy property under a retirement visa?
@@MSWcryptoworker I’ve negotiated the security deposit lower but not significantly. Often, the best option if your landlord seems like they plan on stealing your deposit is to simply not pay the last month’s rent and tell them to apply the deposit to the rent.
Thanks for sharing your experience Barbed wire is to keep humans out or animals?
@@TruthLove333 animals. Humans easily get around it.
I know you're in Ecuador but I'm truly have hay bales or just cut some of the vegetation down and use it as a mulch Rock would be good a pipe would be best but in Louisville those things bale of hay spread in there with help curtail the flow of water and also some hay on top of your father beans and on the exposed swell coming from an erosion specialist in Georgia
@@perfernottosay9892 i appreciate the advice. So far what I’ve done seems to be effective. The fava beans held the hill long enough for grass and deep rooted weeds to take over and stabilize it once the soil had enough nitrogen for them to grow.
An expat is someone from your country abroad.
Thats really cool. Ox probably work better out there.
My father was from Alausi n he said it often😂

Hahaha whoops!!!
I recovered like an ice skater with a blown out leotard exposing a bare ass. I smiled through it and carried on.

Nice
Thanks
I’m curious which companies you enjoyed working with the most? I just tested out of my IBEW apprenticeship this May and I’m considering traveling as well. I just don’t want to end up with a crummy company.
@@joshy5lo I had the best experiences with Fluor Government Group, but I’m in the minority, most of my coworkers hated them and preferred places like KBR. FYI, I’m currently working on getting a job with Amentum in Iraq after working for a company Amentum bought out.
I dream of working there... thx make this video.

Last year I was staying in the area of Gaspar de Villaroel and 6 de Diciembre and although I had my head on a swivel, I never felt threatened including at night. The north end of Quito is obviously safer. An american buddy of mine just came back after doing a 2 week tour of Cuenca-Baños-Quito and didn't have any issues inspite of lodging in the area of La Alameda.
Climate works like this in Ecuador: interandean valley dry summer season from June to September (occasional rains can happen though)...rainy season October to end of May with occasional dry spells. Coast dry season from around May to end of December, monsoon rainy season January to May...ocassionally strong monsoon season is EL NIÑO and unusually dry in rainy season is La Niña, ONLY on the Coast because it's influence of Pacific current. Amazon lowland region dry season December to end of February, rainy season March to November (strongest in June and July). Obviously in cloudforests on both sides of Andes it can rain anytime.
@@andresleder7678 I think that is an oversimplification and also outdated. For example, all my neighbors in the Amazon say this year will be very dry from August to October in Napo province. My neighbors in Pichincha are all expecting it to be very dry until late August. The climate is changing rapidly and the old patterns no longer hold true.
@@FallofftheMap I'm talking more from experience than from my ecology degree studies. I've lived and worked in all 3 regions of the country over the last 40 years and haven't seen drastic changes. But I've seen glaciers dissapear (Illinizas) and recede since my youth. Another thing to keep in mind is that a dry season doesn't mean it won't rain ocassionally and a rainy season doesn't mean there won't be dry spells. Your neighbors in Pichincha are correct because August 'till end of September early October is the NORMAL DRY SEASON in the interandean region, harvest and fallow time (planting season for corn and most native crops without irrigation is October to early December). As for your Napo neighbors it could be a cycle that has been discovered yet or just an oddball. The patterns are more or less the same, yes with some variations due to natural climate changes, cycles, earth tilt, etc. It is happening and will continue as it has over millions of years.
@@andresleder7678 my experience in the past 11 years tells me the El Niño and La Niña cycles will become the new normal, and the months in between will be short and rare. The intense rain and drought cycles will become more extreme.
I have a house with ocean view in Pedernbsles, Manabi and have enjoyed it for 15 years, everything grows there, great food, very economic and beautiful women. You just have to be careful just like everywhere today.
I’ve visited Pedernales a few times. Definitely not my favorite part of the coast, but the calm bay on the Pacific is nice. So, you were there for the 2016 earthquake? I was building an apartment complex in Canoa at the time. One week before the earthquake we moved to Quito because I needed to go to work outside Ecuador to make enough money to finish my project and my wife didn’t want to live far from her parents while I was out of the country. It was lucky we moved because the apartment we had been renting was totally destroyed in the earthquake.
Inflation and crime in USA are out of control.
True for much of the world. We live in interesting times.
Be careful, watch out the house caretakers.
Yeah, if I hire a caretaker for any of my properties it’s likely to be a foreigner so if there is any dispute we are at least on an even playing field in the legal system. I do occasionally pay my neighbors to help on my mountain property but I’m lucky to have a very honest and responsible family living next to me. I’ve slowly built a good relationship with them over the last 3 years. I’m pragmatic about it. The wife is great and always fair with me. The husband can occasionally get a little lazy and charge for more work than he actually did, but they also do a lot of small favors for me and help to make sure my property stays safe.
Ecuador is still safer than Colombia and most Latin countries.

I have a house at the beach in Ecuador I and my expenses per month are under $200. I would not buy properties where you can not be there to watch it.
@@francocevallos2307 good advice. I’m not at my house all the time, because I have more than one place in Ecuador but I am never away very long. Fortunately, I’ve got good neighbors.
Great!
Integrating as an expat is difficult at best and impossible at worst. You have one of the best takes I've heard from someone that is actually doing it. Cheers and keep it up.
I am Canadian living in Baños, Ecuador. Scare tactics like yours are destroying tourism here. If you do not like it here please go back to the US. Maybe you would feel safer in New York or LA. Violence here is based in 4 coastal port cities. And is almost entirely inter gang related. Public fatalities are rare.
That simple lifestyle is the dream of many people.
Ok bud, what do you say now that the judge help to convict Correa says that he is sorry about it and he was forced to convict him? Correa is the Donald Trump of Ecuador. Correa did a lot but no one is willing to admit it and the media is not helping at all by telling lies and things that makes non sense.
I like how the doors in Antarctica give you the option to "enter" or "do not enter", but I guess our guy is an enter type of guy, because he did not think twice pulling the enter side of the door. I guess that's the kind of mindset it takes to work in Antarctica
Become ungovernable
I wish you should have shown the area as you were talking instead of looking at you all the time
I have plenty of videos like that, but this isn’t one. I mix it up. Sometimes it’s a video of me showing stuff and sometimes it’s just a video of me talking to the camera. Whenever I make a talk to the camera video there’s always a couple folks that share your same criticism, and I appreciate the feedback, but at the same time most of my more popular videos, videos that get the most popular feedback are in this format, just me talking to the camera.
What? I’ve lived in Cuenca for 11 years and have never had one incidence. Maybe Quito is bad, but Cuenca is not like Quito.
@@leslie1536 yes, so far Cuenca continues to be one of the safer places in Ecuador. The “it’s never happened to me so it must be safe” argument is pretty ridiculous. I mean, I spent 5 years working in Afghanistan and didn’t get shot, kidnapped, or beheaded… so Afghanistan must be safe, right? Cuenca is relatively safe, with violent crime rates similar to the US as a whole and property crime rates that are slightly higher. Cuenca is only one little part of Ecuador.

@@filbertneon3813 good neighbors make good neighbors. Poets are often more interested in sounding profound than actually being profound. The truth doesn’t contort itself to fit a clever turn of phrase.

There isn’t any work in Afghanistan anymore since the US ended the war. Look up the major defense contractors like KBR, Amentum, DynCorp, Fluor, create a candidate profile, upload your resume, and spend some time learning to navigate their careers sections so you can find and apply to the existing overseas jobs in places like Kuwait, Somalia, Iraq, Poland, etc…
Thanks, Jesse, for your thoughtful pieces on Ecuador. I’ve lived in Quito since July 2001, the first four years in Quito Tenis, the rest of the time, here in La Carolina (Calle Luxemburgo). Luxemburgo used to be almost all houses; now, it’s almost all increasingly expensive apartment buildings. I may be a fugitive from the law of averages but I’ve never been mugged/robbed in my time here. That said, conventional wisdom dictates that you don’t go into Parque La Carolina at night, As well, since about 2018-19 there’s been a marked increase increase in street vendors and street beggars, particularly along Republica de El Salvador and Avenida Shyris towards NNUU, so street awareness and caution is advised along those areas. Finally, in those areas, never use your cellphone out on the sidewalks or streets; there are very adept pickpockets out there, as well as two-person moto teams who will swoop in and snatch your phone if you’re unwary and close to the street.
Could you send me a website with houses for sale in campos?
@@melvinmuniz67 I can, but typically the real estate website are inflated prices. The best option for looking online is FB marketplace. Just set your search area to some part of Ecuador and search for something like “casa campo” or “finca.”
Good ole mc murdo I was there in 2022 omelettes made fresh most days was the best also the cafeteria being 24hrs didn’t hurt either
How much does a research associate get paid in antarctica? And how much more is he paid in contrast to the rest of the world?
@@TheQu5571 I don’t know. I only know what I got paid as an electrician. I suspect the pay is absurdly low since there is a lot of competition for those type of jobs. We had people with PHDs that would work there as dishwashers just for the opportunity to make connections with the right people to try to get on a research team.
@@FallofftheMap ah ok, thanks
How about chemtrails ? Thanks
@@sicuro5050 in my experience, “chemtrails” are an absurd distraction from things that actually matters. I won’t try to convince you of anything. That is not what I am here for.
@@FallofftheMapi just wanted to know if there are trails on the Sky where you live . Who cares what do you believe ? I prefer follow the scientific method so i recolectó with magnet the dust that is falling from the sky … i have proof , i dont need you
