You can build shelters

The association should also at minimum try to put some post up to direct people which way to turn to find their property. The cost of a few T-post should be fine to show good faith to those on the upper level. The lower level where homes are are understandably priority, but they should at least give “something” to the upper level owners. The more people that can find their lots the more likely someone will go up their to develop the land for recreational uses.

Hi, what is the name of the contractor you found? I would like to give them some business as well.

Nice job! How far down on your line counter ?

We have 2 lots on pheasant Dr. overlooking the cliffs. We call our land Juniper Cliffs. I am going to be contacting the HOA just as you did. Maybe if more of us ask politely they will maintain that road!

Good job I guess the early bird gets the worm isn’t always the truth. That being said I’ve been in Monterey Bay and it was rough and we waited to let it calm. Got out there got 3-4 bites quick and then the bite turned off completely. Missed our limit we could have had if we just roughed it out. The dogs are the calmest dogs I’ve seen/heard with a fish on.

Nice. Did they give you a Warranty Deed or a California Grant Deed?

Thanks for posting. I've owned 2 lots way up top on Gray Wolf / Silver Fox that I bought in the late 80s and early 90s. I've camped there a few times over the decades. You'll never see a clearer sky nor more stars than you will up there in the summer. But haven't made it up there since 2010ish. I always pay my dues to the MRE. If they have abandoned all maintenance on some roads why am I paying them... I only visit in summer but I'd be mad if the road to my property is not passable when I've been paying them all these years.

in 2007 I bought 1+ acres in MRE on Grizzly Lane, put in a well septic, driveway etc. Roads have improved over the last 16 years. I'm a General Contractor. I was going to build a small place to sell, but the market in 2008 dropped off a cliff. Now, things have improved and I plan to build a small house on the lot this spring to test the market, If it doesn't sell, I will sit on the front porch and enjoy the beauty and solitude. If the market picks up I'll build a house in Surprise Valley, another part of Modoc County that is a treasure. "Paved roads make busy streets".

Own 3.5 acres on pronghorn about to sell. Bought in 2003, worth less now 😢 Heard the wells were drying up. I live out of state now but keep up on taxes and hoa.

Thank you for this! I just bought a parcel in CP (sight unseen), and this was very helpful!😊

Thank You for Posting I too have Land .. can I get the Septic company #

It was fun. I next time would use a double paddle but it work great and keeps you cool too. Thanks

I’ve had two over 4 years…they are bullet proof

I will be trying this in central Texas where I live. I have a kayak but just bought a 53 inch tube. Wondered what it would be like to use a paddle with a tube , and here you are. Thanks !!!!

Thanks for this informative video. Well done. Rare to find any coverage of this specific area. After visiting it I bought a 1.74 acre parcel last November (2023). There were 2 ways to get to it, one was inaccessible due to a concrete creek swale much like you described. Luckily the other was okay, just one 100 yard incline that was rutted but passable. I went back up last February, encountered thick slippery mud at that spot, so I didn't attempt it. Heading up tomorrow from the Bay Area for a week of camping and star gazing. Definitely a seasonal location. It's encouraging to hear that there's a new board and better basic road maintenance may be in the cards. I agree with you; raise the fees to $100 annually if that's what it takes. But that's easy for me to bear, maybe not everyone. It is a great area, it feels remote, no crowds but still minutes to town.

My maintanace They collect $105 from me for a few years now. They should be maintaining. Wow now I have to think about going to mine.

I just left the mre andvi was first going to buy right ip the same road that you were on i tryed to go see the lot on my harley that road doesnt get maintained there was talk about 30 pluss grand being embezzled dont wory about the snakes worry about the cougers i then was in escrow on malard but they were right you cant getbupbto your spot in the winter and ibdont no any onebthatbpays the hoafee because they dont maitain or they do very little but ive see the lots go as low as 1700 to 4500 but those have no elec or septic one with septic and power justbto start is about 25.000we maintained prety much ourselves mostbof the roads have gravel but mot all and only pencil is plowed fuckbthe new board there mew board was a gay black man if you spentbtime there you nobwhat im talkingbabout there not very flexible up there very racist but dontbplan on any roads being finishedbin the mre unlessnyou pay to have it done

How is your land coming along in Alturas, CA? Are you developing it? Curious about the area.

Weird question. What do you do if you need to use the restroom while you're out there?

How you like it up there?

I bought 3 + acres land over there , but never been there yet, I planned this summer to camping on my land. They have limited 30 days per calendar year. And real estate agent told me some land have paved road access Thank you so much for your video.

Did you ever find the rebar markers that outline the dimensions of your lot?

This is exactly the location me and my wife were looking into buying some recreational land as well. Thanks for this video that really helps.

I have a lot up there too! I was able to get my Frontier p4x through both sides of that fork in the beginning when I went last May. You can get up to the same area via Pencil which I checked out last month. Road is leveled until you get to the top of the hill then there a bunch of big rocks. I figured the roads aren’t maintained since no house are up there. I’m gonna go up next month to try to clear out the roads enough to tow my camper.

There is such a thing as a piece of property, "for free", that is not worth the price. I have lived in rural settings for decades in Nevada, Oregon and California. My father did a considerable amount of civil engineering in and around Alturas and Susanville where he owned and developed 1200 acres. I would not get near MRE Alturas This area makes Susanville look like the Riviera. I see the dregs of humanity; trash, white and otherwise. A veritable shit hole. The solution I see is an annual $1000 fee. The roads get cleared out and the those who can't afford the $1000 will hopefully go away. But, that does not solve the problem of squatters and drugs... it is obvious the reason many are there. I'd live in Oakland before I would live there. Best of luck.

You should have made the right hand turn I have property up on thunderbird over looking the estates. Beautiful area. I’m hesitant to build because of the pheasant rd being so bad.

Hi there! I just recently bought a lot in ruff grouse road that also backs up to forest land. Looking to go there in June 2024 to check it out. Thank you for the video. Maybe will be neighbors. Do you have a good phone number for the HOA people?

No thank you. I like my 1.5 acres in Crescent City, Ca due west from you out on the Pacific coast in the redwoods. !

I love it! That was a fun day

This video had me busting up laughing, I’ve lived here since 1998 and you bought land in the second worst place in modoc. There are no wild pigs either the fishing is ok if you like trout and bird hunting is good some years. They don’t maintain jack crap up there so don’t hold your breath. Lots of squatters as well, have fun.

This is why I don't want anything to do with HOA or associations. They take your money and do little. I may move to Alturas next month and have been looking at property and was hoping to build a tiny home. Do you know if there is housing development occurring near Modoc Wildlife area? Any advice on buying?

My old place is just where the video begins... Don't miss the winters, but MRE is the place to live in Alturas. We used to take Pencil road up to the pothole lakes on our quad. Wild horses would hang out on cold days. They are good about plowing. One winter it went into the 40 and 50 below, people had septic tanks freeze. Enjoy!

bring back memories of Modoc County. I was born in montana and my dad moved us to Alturas so he could work for the phone company. Our house was a few miles from cal pines lodge, in rye grass swail. Moved back to my hometown in montana when I was 15.

Hello Earthdawg, I am looking at land in that area that was Residential Zoning. Are there any tips you have for the (mandatory) septic, etc.?

it is nice I was wondering what's the price for each lot

It's a decent knife for the price point. I bought one recently so I wouldn't have to use more expensive knives when I go camping. Everyone needs a beater knife. :)

What is the name of the hotel you stayed at Thank You

How much is lots

Wrong word "wart". It should be St. John's Wort and not St. John's Wart. Dictionary: wort | wərt, wôrt | noun 1 [in combination] used in names of plants and herbs, especially those used, especially formerly, as food or medicinally, e.g., butterwort, woundwort. • archaic a plant or herb used medicinally. 2 the sweet infusion of ground malt or other grain before fermentation, used to produce beer and distilled malt liquors: yeast is added to the wort. ORIGIN Old English wyrt, of Germanic origin; related to root1. Wort refers to a plant used medicinally. The dictionary definition of a Wart is: wart | wôrt | noun 1 a small, hard, benign growth on the skin, caused by a virus. • any rounded excrescence on the skin of an animal or the surface of a plant: the toad possesses a dangerous poison in its large warts. • an undesirable or disfiguring feature: few products are without their warts. I hope this helps.

Just subbed, Im a new stealth camper alliance member, i really like learning! Thanks for your time & experience, Godbless.

Good video, just got one for Christmas! It seems like rolling the top in the direction towards your back would be in the way of your head. The pic on the card looks like it rolls upwards but it doesn't seem to work that way. I was hoping to see it on you.

Baton with another piece of wood not a hammer please ohhhh that made me cringe

Its a good looking van. You did amazing work on it. I want to put solar panels on my van Thanks for sharing It.

Got one in green.not corncob fckn orange.gerber don't need grass for fck sake they'd sell more he's a knob T800Aust

I’ve also got the Bear Grylls Ultimate and Pro version, but as others have said and they're a great knife for the money. Never hit the knife with a hammer, use a small log.

Slow progress

I got mine for 25$ its worth it, trust me

I have this knife very nice,tough,rugged
