    This guy is very well educated on the areas he’s talking about. We had 5 Acres in Hayden Lake. Then they started building houses on smaller lots all around us. After that we bought 110 acres up at Priest Lake. It was on a county road that was not maintain. So we used horses to ride in and out during the winter. It was not easy. Also it is very gray and gloomy during most of the year. so after that we moved to Hawaii. Now we just enjoy a full ocean view and do not have to take care of any property. The lot is small enough that we can afford to have gardeners do everything.

      And it’s kind of harsh winter where sometimes everything is blanketed in four feet of snow, and it can stay like that for weeks. Where am at they are very good on keeping rural county roads cleared. You’ll be on your own for keeping your private land driveway cleared. Think about this when situating a homesite on a property - how far away the house will be from the county road. Can definitely buy your own snow blower, but will find there are guys that offer a snow plowing service. An adjacent neighbor does this and has a number of long term customers.

    If a person makes the decision to move out of the city and live life the way it is supposed to be; they will need to learn the skills requisite for that life. Become rugged enough to take care of yourself and not rely on outside inputs to take care of you. We have become too soft and over reliant on government programs and have lost a large sense of personal responsibility. “Figure it out!”

      I’ve heard many people say the same thing that people living in cities is unique. Historically cities fail or crash or die off with a plague etc.
      If we have a cyber attack or solar flare causing an EMP to destroy tech etc that alone could cause millions to die. Imagine all the semis reliant on computers and the log books themselves being computers it’s like ya mass die off in the cities.

    There really isn’t a day “off”. Which is cool with me, I live alone, work from home, manage 3 horses and a few other animals… dog and cat. Creating a schedule and sticking to it has made all the difference. Along with investing in the right equipment AND, most importantly, creating and nurturing solid relationships with your neighbors! Sooner or later, you’re going to need help with something, and it’s great being of service when the neighbors call you for help. It’s a wonderful life, and definitely not for everyone.

      Not all folks are wired from birth to enjoy being alone and isolated for long periods of time, but probably just as many are. And feeling lonely, hungry for interaction with other living beings, can lead over time to very serious, sometimes fatal, mental issues. Not everyone enjoys being alone and isolated, while others thrive on it, feeling little or no need for interaction with others. Those who DO enjoy being alone and isolated rarely experience being lonely.

    • @scottvincent2380

We have had power outages for 2 weeks after a storm. Have to take all my own garbage and cardboard to the dump. When you have to hire a plumber or an electrician they charge you $100 to $200 just to show up. Then if they don't have the right parts there's another hundred to $200 trip charge.

    I don't think anybody really thinks about the up front costs to build your desired infrastructure. You can watch all kinds of romanticized videos of "living off-grid," but not many truly understands the cost to get that built in place. We purchased our place in the middle of the Athol forest, with our closest neighbor being 1/4-mile away and others 1/2-mile away. We love it, but the cost to get to a point to build a home has been expensive, including a $50K additional cost to bring a county owned easement road up to Fire Code. A tractor is a must. Otherwise, you will pay the going rate for snow plowing, tree removal, etc. I wouldn't change our circumstances for anything, but you have to be willing to work or pay the prices. I was a life long city boy from SoCal and the change has been phenomenal.

      And I hear you on the dating scene. Before I let my wife it was quite the spectrum of personalities, beliefs, and mental ailments. I’m glad I found my wife pretty quickly. The BUMBLE app was by far the best and it’s here we met. Not sure what it’s like today but it worked great then.

It was my first time ever to be alone, to be in such a remote place, to be in such extremely cold weather. I was afraid. I am 73 with a bad back, had back surgery. Ive never shoveld snow,ecer. Imhad to get to a grocery store after a big snow storm. I went out to scrape snow and shovel the driveay to get out....hypothermia set in. I passed out. I came to enough to make it inside and get in my bed. Dont know how long i was there. When i woke up, i was experiencing dire thirst, as if imhad beeen out in a desert for 2 days with no water. I made it to the sink where i coukdnt stop dri king k then started blacking out again. I finally caalled a store that had trucks with chains on their tires to make it through the ice. They delivered enough food to last me and my chihuahuas for 3 months. I became so depressed from being so lonely, even though I had my little dogs, Movies, a computor. Neighbors were nearby. The people there are extremely kind. I misssed my Florida, the shops. The towns, the heat, the sunshine, the ocean. I came back home. Im now missing my Idaho again, where I can meditate, think, paint, write, and actually trust the good people I met and befriended there. They are not about showmanship, money or greed. They are about nature, the Earth, being humble, being real.....not phony, no bling.

      For protection there, just get a gun permit and a gun. Learn to aim it. Practice. When in Idaho, all the people around me had guns and rifles, dogs for barking also. Many do have surveillance cameras all around their property, and the monitors are on the walls in their living g room, 24/7.

    Why isn't your state officials stopping the water seizure in eastern Idaho? Eastern Idaho supplies about 30% of the country's potatoes. That's very serious situation and too important to allow to fail. Most families feed their kids through potatoes. And now in jeopardy. Its bizarre how big a stake in the grocery web that areas is. And its not being stopped.
    When you do the math of how much food is coming out of the water seizure zone, and how much of the country will be affected by it, it is mind boggling.

I suppose with schooling online that could change things but teens love high school to be social. There’s definitely some remote areas that can be interesting if you have kids.

      I have to argue a bit. 30 years ago a $200k home was outrageous. That $200k home is now $800k. If you can’t afford things they will always be outrageously expensive but when something grows in value price is only half the factor.

      We moved in our house last November, just outside Bonners Ferry. Yea getting people to come do work can be difficult. Our radiant heat went out on the coldest day of the year and to get someone out to fix it was going to cost $200 just for the trip and because we were so far we would need to wait a week or more. Deliveries are over a $100 or more and there is not such thing as next day amazon deliveries. We love it. We found a plumber who was fantastic out of Naples who came out after work and fixed the heater. There is definitely a sense of community not found in a big city people are willing to help out. It’s absolutely beautiful up here we’re not big on socialization. We also have life fight insurance because anything major happens we’re going to need to go to Spokane

    Reading through the comments and listening to you. Something people don't think about. Farmers and ranchers live out in the middle of nowhere. Did you know. The farmers and ranchers' work loads around their homes are far less than a homesteader? The main thing they do is mow around their homes. Maybe the driveway. The rest is hear and there. Most don't even have a garden. Most don't have personal livestock. They go to town for groceries. They, for most, are on grid. So. There is no wood cutting. You live out in the country. Just have a house and a small yard. Go to town for everything. They work you have is mow and the driveway. Outside the farming and ranching part. That's their life. People make it hard on themselves. Is it dangerous. Earth is dangerous. I personally have lived in all of it. I would rather be out in the middle of the woods. There is no way of getting away from danger. From a tic to Bigfoot. Go live your life.

      @Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits I can't stand Bigfoot and Dogman. There are two groups of Bigfoot. One is like us. The other are like the Elites. Both have 100% human female DNA. The rest is a mix on the male side. Genetics. DNA. The mixing of DNA. Eve. In the Bible. It's when it started. They live in tribes. Don't mess with them. They have a nasty habit of following people all over the world until they get their revenge. It's said. When you're out. Mountains, etc. Take a dog or trust your gut. If it doesn't feel right. Leave in the direction you came from. Most of 411 cases are because of them both. I say. There are many reasons why people become a 411 case. Bigfoot as the Elites. Believe the whole planet only belongs to them. Bigfoots are everywhere. Even in cities. Just go do whatever. They do. Don't mess with them. Most put off high radiation. You don't want to get close to them. You will get cancer from the radiation. My land is in a forest. Middle of the Ozarks in Missouri. I take myself. No protection. I look at it this way. So. Just live. We are not here forever.
