Montana's OFF GRID Town
ฝัง

- Have you ever thought about living off the grid? Many people in Montana live off-grid and there is even a town that is totally off-grid. Polebridge, Montana runs on nothing but solar power and generators. It is one of the most interesting places in the country. In this video, we will show you all of the off-grid living in the Polebridge area.

Maybe the inhabitants of Polbridge would prefer to remain offgrid and have the world NOT know the the place exists?? That's why they are offgrid in the first place, isn't it?
Everyone has their own reasons. The businesses like the people!
Naw....last time I checked no Amish settlers moved in yet
If they didn’t have a few tourists showing up to eat some bear claws, then they wouldn’t be able to survive economically
@@RobertMiller-ph6fs😂
I agree, the businesses need the trade but people are moving there from out of state and ruining it.
Living off grid, you learn how much electricity you don't need. We are so wasteful by habit. Living off grid isn't hard, but it is definitely a change in habits. A simple life that requires more work.
Was in Polebridge a few years ago. What a beautiful place. Didn't know at the time it was off grid. Can't wait to visit again. Montana is absolutely gorgeous. Love backpacking in the backcountry there.
I'm not sure how many off-grid towns there are in California, but I live in one of them: Kennedy Meadows (Tulare County). Wood for heating, solar for electricity, different form of solar for heating water, Starlink for internet, and a well for water. Oh, yes, and a tractor for plowing out when it snows!
I have always wanted to get off 395 And head up to Kennedy Meadows
I live in Independence, up the road from there. May get off road next time by there. 😁👍
Montana is SO gorgeous!!! I ❤ your videos!! Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful State!
Thanks for watching!
💯💯💯
Stayed in Polebridge 2 years ago. I was blown away by how you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere and even had a few black bears cross the road while driving. Guys property where we stayed at faces the mountains of Glacier and then the mountains of Flathead Forest behind him. He said he paid $250k for that property with a cabin and 14 acres back in 2017 I think. He then built his own cabin on it and rents out the other one for tourists and said the property is worth over a million now. Beautiful area with some great hiking. A drive up to Hornet Lookout is also up the road with some awesome views.
I live off grid at 6,000 feet elevation, and I get really tired of being suspect because people cannot imagine how I do it all year around. It's just about education, resourcefulness, and tenacity. We would be seeing a whole lot more of people living this way if there wasn't so much GREED and JEALOUSY that prevents change like it should! That's right... its the people who paid too much for their homes and struggle with the utilities and taxes that combat alternative housing options that have been around for decades. Portable power stations have been much improved as well as decreased greatly in cost with the influx of competition too. STOP THE IGNORANT ABUSE AGAINST POSITIVE IMPROVEMENT AND START SUPPORTING THE PIONEERS OUT THERE LIVING OFF GRID WELL!
But the idea of living off grid is that you do not need a support network .
So what support are you asking for ?
Cuz obviously you have the freedom to do it .
I spend some time up there in the mid 90s pretty cool place when I saw this video and it said the only off grid town my first thought was Polebridge and I got it right so that was pretty cool. Thank you for sharing.
The freshly baked treats at the Polebridge Mercantile are scrumptious.
Going to Polebridge and eating a delicious sunset steak dinner at the Northern Lights Saloon was one of the highlights of our trip! The washboard road was terrifying especially on the return trip south after dark!
Yes, that road gets bad!
I hope they graded the road before I show up at the end of June 🙃
It's bad for a reason
Alternative to generators are TEGs that are place in proximity to a wood stove.
Worked in montana on the Johnson cattle ranch and we took cattle up to glacier to summer graze ( on indian land).
Beautiful !
Thank you for this video. We stopped in Polebridge once about fifteen years ago. The baked goods were out of this world! It is a bit of a rugged drive up there, but doable. We had a Subaru, made it just fine.
Our pleasure!
Very enjoyable watching. Thanks for making the video!
Great Video Will… I think I will stop by and have a huckleberry bear claw in Polebridge in late June or early July. Driving up from Texas again, so I can avoid half the summer heat and maybe I’ll swing by your office this time. 😊 ✌️
Give me a heads up so I can make sure to be around!
I was there at least 30 yrs ago. Loved it.
We got the honor of visiting Polebridge in 2023. Bowman lake is a must see too!! I left my heart in Polebridge. The mercantile was such a walk back in time. Loved it so much🥰
This was awesome! Really enjoyed it. Well done.👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for showing us your beautiful part of the US. Hope to some day get up there!
You should!
This is great. Two thumbs up!!
Wish we had such a place here in France, I would go there immediately
Thank you very much, that really did bless me.
You're very welcome
Been through Polebridge a few times when traversing the continental divide ride on motorbikes. Great spot. Took a little side trip to Bowman lake while I was there.
Polebridge is one of our favorite places in MT... planning to have our 50yr wedding anniversary party there next summer! The Huckleberry Bearclaws are Devine! Thanks for highlighting
Congratulations on your anniversary! Something I didn’t say in the video is that we actually got married in Polebridge. We said our vows along the river and had our reception in the Northern Lights.
@@LivinginMontana1 That is so fun!! Its a beautiful place for sure!
Beautiful video!
Love these videos! Can't wait to see Billings in July with the family.
Thanks!
Awesome video!!! May have to make a trip that way this summer.
You should!
I've been to Polebridge a few times, we rented a lookout station nearby one time, and another time we stayed at a Bed and breakfast at someone's home, and onother time we parked there and took out other car up to the other side of Glacier and did a 3 day camping and hiking to get to our car parked near Polebridge.
Oh man, that berry pie!❤🎉
Heaven on earth! Thank you for this awesome video. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful place! I couldn't live like that though. 😊
Wow, Home Ranch Bottoms looks nice. I'd stop there for a bite; can never pass on a good bakery.
So good
A Huckleberry Bearclaw sounds amazing!
Very cute and pretty place :)
It really is!
Nice,,,my kind of place
Mine too!
Great video, Will!!! Thanks for showing us the beauty of Montana!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is a great video
Thanks!
That Road was Awful in July but the Bearclaw was Awesome!
I lived in Columbia Falls back in 1978 it was beautiful, I hear it is very crowded now.
The road washed out on the Camadian side and they shut down the crossing. It was an active crossing until early 90's
Nice place.
Great vid 🎤🎥 incredible..Wow !!! That road, is wild America..can u camp ther ?
Awesome cinnamon rolls at the mercantile.
Good keep it that way. Better that way too
Cool video!👍 Banff is also beautiful in Canada.
great soundtrack! Who is playing the music? Interesting, nothing to access and yet there is an obelisk marker
Air down your tires and drive slow
For sure!
It sure is beautiful
It is!
@@LivinginMontana1 I would really love to move up there. Two of my friends have moved up there a some years back. I have gone up there the last four to five years. The last two years I have gone up looking for a house but they have just gone up too high in price. I really like the bitteroot area between Florence and Darby.
I bet the only natural gas is from the BBQ beans at a cookout....this a very beautiful state.
Will,
Enjoy your videos and learning about Montana and Montana real estate. If you ever think about a side gig or want to make a career change, I think you would make a good host for a Montana travelogue about different towns and events in Montana. In Texas there has been a decades long show hosted by Bob Phillips called Texas Country Reporter--think you would find his format and shows interesting. He and his wife will be retiring this summer but the show will continue with a new host--check it out.
Will do, Thanks!
Love Texas Country Reporter and this channel. I just now found it. Would love to get up here! Good channel! It makes my heart ache to be in such places.
I will be right over. Keep an oil lamp on haning in the window.
And if you go 3 miles south of the border there is a beautiful B&B called The Way Less Traveled!
Do the little stores closes for the winter?
Yes
That's good for the Canadian
Do you need to get a vehicle pass to drive from Columbia Falls to Polebridge?
No
What's a vehicle pass?
There's a gazillion river rats and guides on river .Nothing like back in the day.Tremendous over use.The town is one store and seasonal bar.
What a bustling place for being off grid!!
Where are all the immigrants crossing!! 😂
Why is it called flathead river?
It may be off grid, but the women are still beautiful, Will. Did you see the one at 10:07?😉
I did see her!
They don't want it paved until they get their windshield broken by flying gravel
Remedy-- keep your speed down and don't tailgate !! Fuck pavement !!
