Be an educated voter. Do your research and know who you are voting for. I was recently looking up some of the candidates for a local election, one of the candidates is a fairly recent arrival and has apparently not registered to vote in Idaho yet, another who has been in Idaho for many decades is praised as "the right kind of Republican (aka RINO)" by the Spokane newspaper. Both of these candidates have "Conservative" plastered all over their campaign literature but can't show anything "conservative" about their positions. Take the time, do the research, make sure you know who and what you are voting for. We may disagree, which is fine, but at least you should be able to have a rational and cogent debate about your positions.
Moved here 34 years ago. Trent was my neighbor. People were so much nicer before the mass exodus. Trent, i think we earned the right to have "Newsome called, you can go home now" stickers. Lol. Good video, buddy!
I'll be practicing my donuts in the snow in some empty parking lot somewhere. Grew up driving in snow with crappy tires. Idaho needs to pass legislation limiting running for office to at least 5 year residency.
Should never ……. Stop voting! Voter turnout was lousy! If you don’t want to California Idaho then take every opportunity to vote. Otherwise you’ll get caught sleeping.
I am in the process of moving to northern Idaho from Atlanta. I am conservative and will make it a point to raise my voter attendance to an even higher standard, making sure to vote in local elections as well. 😊
I was just out by that particular "range" (unregulated area) and can safely say that it's still a trash can of shotshells and cheap brass. It's also gotten bad on the trails with the proliferation of off-roading toys that people are using to terrorize the NFS roads. I picked up what I could, which filled the two trash bags I had in my vehicle, but people need to learn how to respect our beautiful state - even those who already live here.
The range you are speaking about gets cleaned up every year by residents so it won’t be shut down again. I’m talking excavators, dump trucks and many more heavy equipment. Very big project that anyone can volunteer to help.
My husband and I moved here in 2020 and I haven’t had one person tell me there favorite spots for hiking and fishing. I get it; we’ll have to go exploring ourselves. 😊
Hi - We have been planning to move to Post Falls for the past couple of years……I really appreciate your videos, but they are definitely causing me to second guess the move, because I don’t want to move someplace that is becoming exactly like the place I am trying to leave…….
Post Falls is nice (I had a house there) but North Idaho is exploding with out of state nincompoops. They're willing to spend too much money on rundown houses and driving up the cost of housing. They don't know what they're doing either. My neighbor told me his new landlord from California used their home owners insurance to upgrade appliances and were shocked when their rates went up. You cannot buy a house here for less than a quarter million. We're moving out of town the end of August.
Lol you're still a fool to think voting matters 🤣. Name one time in history Republicans haven't screwed us over. When they haven't invaded a country or expanded government. I'll wait...
Its funny how you talked about driving to fast. I live in central Oregon and its the Idaho drivers that are the worst at driving at crazy speeds and can be a little rude when they come through, even when they stop for gas and a snack
That last one is very wise. Sounds like something I suggested not too long ago in your comments. ;) The worst is when people tag a secret stash on social media. So many amazing places have been ruined by that.
Hey Trent, I have to say thanks, I came across your Idaho videos a few weeks ago. Wife and I decided to come have a look around. I am from Southwest Florida, Idaho was like coming home. Good people everywhere and the most stunning views ever!
You bet @samuelcastleberry1315 I’m glad you found them helpful. My wife and I love visiting Florida but we’re definitely home here. Let us know if you want to make Idaho your home in the near future. Explore@livinglifenorthidaho.com
Another good video. Good points. Unfortunately when an area gets discovered a lot of idiots want to move to those places and change them. I'm seeing the same thing here in Colorado. Way too many people who are just rude and inconsiderate. It's Wrecking the state.
I lived in Longmont for twenty years... We moved out east to get away from all the traffic homelessness and crime that's ruining that town.. our neighbors a quarter mile from us are 3 generation cattle rancher and moving to Wyoming to get away from people like us moving out here 😂 everybody has to live somewhere 🤷
Great point about the car tires. Good tires can save your life. I drive a Honda Civic and I get around just fine in the winter because I have good tires.
Thank you for your excellent, well thought out videos. I am a native Floridian from a once small village; I witnessed the northern people come and destroy our way of life. Then they came from Miami and Latin America and turned paradise into something else. You are correct in staving the world out as long as you can. I moved to Colorado for school with a beloved sports car and learned through a couple of accidents what I should have done to my car in preparation for winter which you have thoroughly explained in your other videos. Most important: SLOW DOWN! Slow down! Slow down! Thank you brother. God bless you, your family, and all of your future work. Thank you!
We've been living here since 1997 but now we are forced to move. We can't afford anything around here anymore. Realtors are selling shacks for half a million. Coeur d'Alene finally got their wish. They're the next Aspen.

I'm not wealthy, I work in campus public safety, and would like to continue this work out there where I believe myself and my cat Molly will be safer. I respect these pointers and would want to stick by them.
Hey I appreciate you watching and commenting @christopherhiller1035 and appreciate your desire to keep Idaho Idaho. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help get you out here. (208)907-5757
Thanks again Trent. We had to take our house off the market in tacoma so we can move to post falls. Will try again. Will you post something about the market trend in Idaho. Can't wait to come. Just an intermission here but praying 🙏 to come in the new year. We did try three times to put ernest money down there but our house didn't sell here
Put weight in the back of your car or truck (especially if you have a pickup) for better traction in the winter. I keep weight in the back of my truck year-round, due to how slick the roads can get after some rain, especially when it has not rained in a long time. That is why you will see tube sand for sale at gas stations. As one of those locals I totally agree with your recommendations.
I am planning to move to the Boise area of Idaho in a few months for my girlfriend whom I lived with for a year in my past. I am a small town guy from southwest MN. I am fully excited to move over there by myself.
I'm trying to move to Idaho from Oklahoma this year. From what little I can tell I feel like I could be compatible with the state and of course I do feel that I should defer to locals to know how to run their stuff. Why would I think I know better or that I'm not a foreigner?
Absolutely love your attitude and blunt straight forward advise!! I'm coming to Sandpoint in May to visit, I live in NM and we have some beautiful land here also so I completely understand not telling people about your spots!! My dream would be to retire in Idaho, just don't have that kind of money, are there places out of town some that are more 200,000.00ish?
I live just north of Idaho in south-east British Columbia (BC) Canada. This summer here, a vehicle with California licence plates/tags was speeding way over the speed limit on a quiet, curvy, hilly lake-side road, passing other vehicles when un-safe. I don't know if they came via Idaho, but if that is how they drive in California, that isn't the way we drive here, we follow the highway signs. I do NOT want to imply that only Californians or some Americans speed............... Vancouver Canada had SEVERE speeding problems back in the 1980's ........... a sort of "hyped hysteria" gripped the city................ partly driven by the "Liberal sexual revolution" popular in the Western World at that time............ Vancouverites seemed to think that road signs "were irrelevent" or "everything in the social order was to be challenged" as if it was all "illogical". Anyway, right now in BC we have a similar problem Idaho has with some Liberal Ontario people moving here and trying to change the politics and the society, as most of us are moderate conservative everywhere in BC outside of the Pacific Coast around Vancouver. Alberta Province (AB) which is north of Montana is conservative too, except for the city of Edmonton. I like this guy's attitude who makes these videos, I visited Idaho and Montana during the Great Eclipse of 2017 and was very impressed with those states, you are always welcome to visit us here in BC / AB .............in Canada's West....very, very few of us vote for Trudeau !
@@Daniel-lz9ps --- in Canada highway signs ARE NOT CREATED by politicians or bureaucrats, be they honest or corrupt. Highway signs are created by road and driving experts in the Highways Dept, designed to ensure safety for the average driver with the average vehicle, NOT power people driving sports cars, muscle cars, big black pick-ups, people high on drugs or low on booze, hyped-up maniacs or snot-punk hot-shots or simple show-offs. If that is what you are, and obviously you are, stay the F outta here.............
@@Daniel-lz9ps --- and it is obvious you are a "the gov't is out to get me" conspiracy nut if you think politicians and bureaucrats create road signs, and although no democracy is perfect, yours is an extremist position so that is twice the reason you are not welcome.
Thank you for making the comment on the bumper sticker! 😂 It cracks me up when CA peeps move there and talk trash about CA peeps. Basically you move to stop complaining!
I lived in Ketchum/Sun Valley for 32 years. I used to love watching horrible driving from visitors of all states. Three times I saved from hitting deer the third time 4 Elk. I tell people how: Go to a large parking lot and spin around until you see how much traction you really still have. Read the moisture of the road. Glassy? Better stay home. Secondly: leave a LOT of space between you and the next car. Third: Don't (ever) Brake! Well... brake but as soon as your wheels lock you will be swiftly in a Snow Bank. And four wheel drives get STUCK where four wheel drives get stuck. I got around just fine with a studded two wheel drive but ... Avoid hills. Me? Ha!! I moved to Yuma Arizona where nobody is political and the last snow was in 1967.
My sister in orifino and has a place with about 3 shacks put together and is selling it,it just got appraised at 250,000 dollars.i wouldnt pay over 80,000 for it.its rediculous.
The bad drivers are all over the country now.. you should try driving these highways in Texas.. especially around the larger cities like Houston or Dallas.. it's crazy! And they'll drive even faster when it rains and God forbid we get winter weather.. lol people will run off the road here in a straight away.. lol
I grew up in SW Idaho from the late 50s to the late 70s. I return several times a year and have watched the changes. I understand and deeply appreciate Idaho's proud history of conservatism and self reliance. One great irony about Idaho is farmers' and agribusiness' enthusiastic participation in the federal farm subsidy program since 1933. It was part of Roosevelt's liberal New Deal at the height of the Great Depression. I always considered acceptance of billions in taxpayer-financed subsidy dollars over the decades to be the height of hypocrisy. I worked on farms from age 10 and saw how it played out. I'm not sure it remains the golden goose it was back then. I hope not.
Conservatism and self reliance? Is that why FDR, thje most socialist president in our history, won Idaho 4 times? And Lyndon Johnson and his "great society" also won Idaho?
I complain about Utah drivers when they visit. Not the locals. As for the voting… Its insane! Idaho culture is not like anywhere else. It takes years to understand the culture…
You are not kidding about the move to Idaho and run for office or voting for those who do that. It happens in Oregon all the time. We are tired of our vote not counting, another reason we will be in North Idaho shortly.
I grew up in Southern Calif. mountains and also in N. Idaho for awhile. I really understand what this young man is talking about. I saw the same stupidity in both places. We had a little saying in our mountains, that too many people driving up the mountain roads would leave their brains in a box at the bottom of the hill and not pick them up again until they got back to the bottom of the hill. So many horrible accidents caused by idiots . I have quite a list of things that happened to me or in front of me by these terrible drivers. Please do not be one of those people, no matter which State you live in! It is, on the other hand, very hard to be accepted when you move to a new State or just a new community. Our mountain people who were or are long time residents can be insular, so you need patients and a simply friendly, kindhearted personality. If an old timer gives you good advice on surviving in the winters and on the roads, listen carefully! Your life and all near you will have a better chance to survive. Learning the roads very carefully in the good weather and knowing which way the curves are going next will save you when the heavy fog, snow and ice are terrible. Always have blankets and jackets and change of clothes so you can stay over in town when the weather is terrible. Be prepared! 😊
When I make the mistake of telling someone where I moved from, I get a rash of s*it from them. Sometimes it’s done in humor, and I can take that no problem. Other times it’s not done in humor. I tell them that politically I’m not the norm with where I’m from. Once they get to know me, they find out that I’m one of the most conservative people they know. I do think that most folks here are excepting. I tell them to be friendly to everyone, if they find a new transplant to be a leftist liberal, no need to be mean, but, just make them uncomfortable(wear a sidearm, fly a big American flag ect.), they’ll move……..
Weird that friend of mine has lived in Twin Falls since 1990 and told me natives have always hated those from CA. It’s obvious it’s been a thing for a long time. I personally have been running from Californians taking over parts of the country for just as long. In my experience Idaho isn’t an exception. I grew up in eastern Oregon, then left to Reno in 1986, then Northern Nevada to get away, then to upstate NY to get away, then to Oklahoma to get away. They are now here, and a day doesn’t go by without seeing minimum of 2 CA license plates while driving to work. It’s time for everyone to just get over it. There’s no way out unless I keep moving. I’m over it. It’s always the same line, ‘“We came for a positive change” and it’s no coincidence the politics make a turn for the worst. Kids are out of control in schools here now, and you can’t discipline without parents raising cane 😳
Everyone in these more red areas like Northern Idaho and Montana need to realize that most of us fleeing the city are conservatives or at minimum moderates. If u leave a metro area of 8 million people, and only 10% of us city dwellers are conservatives, thats still 800k.
Learn where you moved too, it snows so you need to know how to drive on it. Not the same as driving in a regular climate. Every year new commers moving here and young drivers cause accidents everywhere the first few weeks after it snow. It is so bad happens like clock work on I90 from Coeur dalene to Spokane. So be prepared if your traveling on new snow you will see accidents.
I'm a native Californian looking to move back to my Ala Mater state (I'm a U of I alumni... go Vandals!). I live in what is jokenly called the Alabama of Los Angeles co. [Antelope Valley] So it sounds like we fit)
Trent, any opinion on if there is a need for firearms related industry in Northern Idaho? We were in CDA in August and I was surprised by how few stores I saw. They are more frequent here in Texas but we have more people on the other hand. My wife and I are looking to open our own business in the ID panhandle next year. Wish we had stopped by and said hello, we got coffee at the vault 😊
I agree with all this, though I would like to tag something to one of Trent's points. On running for office or other civic involvement as a newbie: I believe we political refugees have something we might bring to the table as advisors or sorts. I don't mean any official capacity but just helping locals protect and defend Idaho from the pitfalls and missteps that our home states and town or cities fell into resulting in them now being the $h!tho!es they are now. One of my concerns for Idahoans is that by being insulated from much of the problems we are experiencing in blue areas this can result in a false sense of security or a "that ain't ever happening here!" kind of thinking. My home western WA used to be a lot like north Idaho. It didn't really start getting Californicated until the '90s. Even CA was red up until at least the '60s. This can happen anywhere and the only way to prevent it is to recognize the tell tale signs of this gradual and slippery slope. West coast conservatives can help and we desperately want to stronghold Idaho and every other place still salvageable from this possible fate. It may be too late for Seattle but not for CDA, etc.. I agree with not running for office in your first few years somewhere. In fact I would even accept a probation period on voting for my first 3 or 5 years or something. I just think locals should be open to learning from the mistakes of other places by listening to the newbies that came from those places. Assimilation MUST also occur by the new comers of course. I would love to help keep Idaho Idaho.
That’s a pretty broad stroked ignorant statement, Sir. Many of us fit right in with the God, Family, Freedom, and Firearms culture of North Idaho. I want NOTHING to do with the asinine policies and culture I left behind in the People’s Republic of Kalifornia.
@beadmomma4 @mounty621 I dunno if you don't live in California but still consider yourself a Californian plus you get upset any time someone says something you don't like about Californians, you're provingg my point! If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, well... You see what I'm saying here? Identify as an American and never stick up for Californians or act like one and everyone will love ya !
Idaho is beautiful, but ada county, and Boise is not pretty. Not quite sure what the big draw is. Besides, who wants to live right on top of your neighbors?
Pitiful video! It does not focus on the delusional population who consider ignorance an asset. We came here, 30 years ago, for the summers and the geography and NOT the people. If you do not belong to their "club" you will be somewhat tolerated, but not welcome. Freethinking is not allowed out here. Best of luck to all of us!
Are you too cheap to save your life or someone else’s? All season tires suck. 1 set for summer, 1 set for winter. Change them at the proper time. Slow the hell down.
Some simple rules for living here: 1. Mind your own business. 2. Keep your hands to yourself. 3. Don't start none, won't be none. 4. FA&FO Democrats, liberals and criminals (but I repeat myself) will find it almost impossible to comply with any one of those, much less all four of them.
Yeah, number 1 takes about seconds for them to violate. They have to insert themselves into your business, so they can heap their business into yours to affirm their feelings.
When it comes to moving to someplace you then complain about... many people move to a place in SPITE of the people, not BECAUSE of the people. Other people and their political views do not dictate where I live, nor should it. Many people want to live somewhere with certain topography or scenery, or climate... and that is the only thing that matters to them, and the poltical persuasions of their neighbors are just a pain in the butt they have to put up with.
I’m in Indiana, too old to move. However; I wish “blue” minded people would stay in their Blue state. I’ve noticed all the states they have invaded they have ruined them.
How are the public schools? I currently have to pay exorbitant amounts of money to have my kids in private school because I refuse to send them to the indoctrination camps here in California.
Depends on the area from what we have found. There is a charter school in Rathdrum called STEM Academy that has great reviews and good results which my friends who lives up there said was good also. The public schools are a mixed bag, but Idaho is a school choice state so your tax dollars can go to the charter school with your kid.
Telling Californians to behave like Idahoans when they move to Idaho is like telling a Grizzly to behave like a cow when it wanders onto a farm. Never gonna happen. Adios Idaho
"Ive got to get out of California. Its terrible here". One year later: "What the hell is wrong with Idaho? Im going ro run for office so its more like California."
Over/under 20 years it starts to look like California or New Jersey (where I'm from)? Tell me what you think. I'm taking bets. For the record... I just wanna live there in the winter so I can shred pow.
An excellent list that 99% of the people that move to Idaho will absolutely ignore because they think they're different then everyone else.......

Anyway, right now in BC we have a similar problem Idaho has with some Liberal Ontario people moving here and trying to change the politics and the society, as most of us are moderate conservative everywhere in BC outside of the Pacific Coast around Vancouver. Alberta Province (AB) which is north of Montana is conservative too, except for the city of Edmonton. I like this guy's attitude who makes these videos, I visited Idaho and Montana during the Great Eclipse of 2017 and was very impressed with those states, you are always welcome to visit us here in BC / AB .............in Canada's West....very, very few of us vote for Trudeau !
Lol cool you follow laws and signs created by corrupt bureaucrats. Ya'll drive like old ladies.
@@Daniel-lz9ps --- in Canada highway signs ARE NOT CREATED by politicians or bureaucrats, be they honest or corrupt. Highway signs are created by road and driving experts in the Highways Dept, designed to ensure safety for the average driver with the average vehicle, NOT power people driving sports cars, muscle cars, big black pick-ups, people high on drugs or low on booze, hyped-up maniacs or snot-punk hot-shots or simple show-offs. If that is what you are, and obviously you are, stay the F outta here.............
@@Daniel-lz9ps --- and it is obvious you are a "the gov't is out to get me" conspiracy nut if you think politicians and bureaucrats create road signs, and although no democracy is perfect, yours is an extremist position so that is twice the reason you are not welcome.
@@Daniel-lz9ps ---- and my experience when I visited your region is that nearly everyone drove the speed limit, or very close to it.
Thank you for making the comment on the bumper sticker! 😂 It cracks me up when CA peeps move there and talk trash about CA peeps. Basically you move to stop complaining!
Another great video! Very helpful information.
Here in Mountain Home it is a hanging offence to tell people about the best hunting and fishing spots. :)
I was born and raised in Coeur d'Alene... It's now unrecognizable... It's hard to believe that the world population has doubled in the last 50 years
I lived in Ketchum/Sun Valley for 32 years. I used to love watching horrible driving from visitors of all states.
Three times I saved from hitting deer the third time 4 Elk. I tell people how: Go to a large parking lot and spin around until you see how much traction you really still have. Read the moisture of the road. Glassy? Better stay home. Secondly: leave a LOT of space between you and the next car. Third: Don't (ever) Brake! Well... brake but as soon as your wheels lock you will be swiftly in a Snow Bank.
And four wheel drives get STUCK where four wheel drives get stuck.
I got around just fine with a studded two wheel drive but ... Avoid hills.
Me? Ha!! I moved to Yuma Arizona where nobody is political and the last snow was in 1967.
My sister in orifino and has a place with about 3 shacks put together and is selling it,it just got appraised at 250,000 dollars.i wouldnt pay over 80,000 for it.its rediculous.
Yeah the prices are out of control all over the state!
All weather tires are better than all season tires. And, winter tires are better than all weather.
The bad drivers are all over the country now.. you should try driving these highways in Texas.. especially around the larger cities like Houston or Dallas.. it's crazy! And they'll drive even faster when it rains and God forbid we get winter weather.. lol people will run off the road here in a straight away.. lol
Thanks for sharing; take care
If you can't drive a two wheel drive and put on chains, you shouldn't move here. 4 wheel drive is just going to double the trouble you get into...
I grew up in SW Idaho from the late 50s to the late 70s. I return several times a year and have watched the changes. I understand and deeply appreciate Idaho's proud history of conservatism and self reliance. One great irony about Idaho is farmers' and agribusiness' enthusiastic participation in the federal farm subsidy program since 1933. It was part of Roosevelt's liberal New Deal at the height of the Great Depression. I always considered acceptance of billions in taxpayer-financed subsidy dollars over the decades to be the height of hypocrisy. I worked on farms from age 10 and saw how it played out. I'm not sure it remains the golden goose it was back then. I hope not.
Conservatism and self reliance? Is that why FDR, thje most socialist president in our history, won Idaho 4 times? And Lyndon Johnson and his "great society" also won Idaho?
I complain about Utah drivers when they visit. Not the locals. As for the voting… Its insane! Idaho culture is not like anywhere else. It takes years to understand the culture…
You are not kidding about the move to Idaho and run for office or voting for those who do that. It happens in Oregon all the time. We are tired of our vote not counting, another reason we will be in North Idaho shortly.
❤️👍your videos are good . Thank you ❣️
I grew up in Southern Calif. mountains and also in N. Idaho for awhile. I really understand what this young man is talking about. I saw the same stupidity in both places. We had a little saying in our mountains, that too many people driving up the mountain roads would leave their brains in a box at the bottom of the hill and not pick them up again until they got back to the bottom of the hill. So many horrible accidents caused by idiots . I have quite a list of things that happened to me or in front of me by these terrible drivers. Please do not be one of those people, no matter which State you live in! It is, on the other hand, very hard to be accepted when you move to a new State or just a new community. Our mountain people who were or are long time residents can be insular, so you need patients and a simply friendly, kindhearted personality. If an old timer gives you good advice on surviving in the winters and on the roads, listen carefully! Your life and all near you will have a better chance to survive. Learning the roads very carefully in the good weather and knowing which way the curves are going next will save you when the heavy fog, snow and ice are terrible. Always have blankets and jackets and change of clothes so you can stay over in town when the weather is terrible. Be prepared! 😊
When I make the mistake of telling someone where I moved from, I get a rash of s*it from them. Sometimes it’s done in humor, and I can take that no problem. Other times it’s not done in humor. I tell them that politically I’m not the norm with where I’m from. Once they get to know me, they find out that I’m one of the most conservative people they know. I do think that most folks here are excepting. I tell them to be friendly to everyone, if they find a new transplant to be a leftist liberal, no need to be mean, but, just make them uncomfortable(wear a sidearm, fly a big American flag ect.), they’ll move……..
Weird that friend of mine has lived in Twin Falls since 1990 and told me natives have always hated those from CA. It’s obvious it’s been a thing for a long time.
I personally have been running from Californians taking over parts of the country for just as long. In my experience Idaho isn’t an exception. I grew up in eastern Oregon, then left to Reno in 1986, then Northern Nevada to get away, then to upstate NY to get away, then to Oklahoma to get away. They are now here, and a day doesn’t go by without seeing minimum of 2 CA license plates while driving to work.
It’s time for everyone to just get over it. There’s no way out unless I keep moving. I’m over it. It’s always the same line, ‘“We came for a positive change” and it’s no coincidence the politics make a turn for the worst. Kids are out of control in schools here now, and you can’t discipline without parents raising cane 😳
What if you start every sentence with: “Well in California we don’t do it like thaaat?!”
Everyone in these more red areas like Northern Idaho and Montana need to realize that most of us fleeing the city are conservatives or at minimum moderates. If u leave a metro area of 8 million people, and only 10% of us city dwellers are conservatives, thats still 800k.
Learn where you moved too, it snows so you need to know how to drive on it. Not the same as driving in a regular climate. Every year new commers moving here and young drivers cause accidents everywhere the first few weeks after it snow. It is so bad happens like clock work on I90 from Coeur dalene to Spokane. So be prepared if your traveling on new snow you will see accidents.
The number one rule of Idaho is we don't talk about Idaho.
I'm a native Californian looking to move back to my Ala Mater state (I'm a U of I alumni... go Vandals!). I live in what is jokenly called the Alabama of Los Angeles co. [Antelope Valley] So it sounds like we fit)
Trent, any opinion on if there is a need for firearms related industry in Northern Idaho? We were in CDA in August and I was surprised by how few stores I saw.
They are more frequent here in Texas but we have more people on the other hand.
My wife and I are looking to open our own business in the ID panhandle next year.
Wish we had stopped by and said hello, we got coffee at the vault 😊
I don't know where you were, but there are tons on Government way. Also, Black Sheep sells them.
Sasquatch has been there and will stay so try not to haunt him because ..you cant get him hes to fast.and very smart
LOL, "Don't buy those unwelcoming bumper stickers WE sell, that's not who WE are." 🤣😂🤣
I grew up swimming water skiing catching and eating fish from fernan lake. Maybe that's what happened to me😂
😂 that’s pretty funny @itsgoodtobeclean where are you living now?
Are you a real estate agent or a filter agent?
Little bit of column A little bit of column B.
@@LivingLifeNorthIdaho I like it!!! ❤
I agree with all this, though I would like to tag something to one of Trent's points.
On running for office or other civic involvement as a newbie: I believe we political refugees have something we might bring to the table as advisors or sorts. I don't mean any official capacity but just helping locals protect and defend Idaho from the pitfalls and missteps that our home states and town or cities fell into resulting in them now being the $h!tho!es they are now.
One of my concerns for Idahoans is that by being insulated from much of the problems we are experiencing in blue areas this can result in a false sense of security or a "that ain't ever happening here!" kind of thinking. My home western WA used to be a lot like north Idaho. It didn't really start getting Californicated until the '90s. Even CA was red up until at least the '60s. This can happen anywhere and the only way to prevent it is to recognize the tell tale signs of this gradual and slippery slope. West coast conservatives can help and we desperately want to stronghold Idaho and every other place still salvageable from this possible fate. It may be too late for Seattle but not for CDA, etc..
I agree with not running for office in your first few years somewhere. In fact I would even accept a probation period on voting for my first 3 or 5 years or something. I just think locals should be open to learning from the mistakes of other places by listening to the newbies that came from those places. Assimilation MUST also occur by the new comers of course. I would love to help keep Idaho Idaho.
Just understand nothing you do or say will help, once California moves inn, your city is SCREWED!
That’s a pretty broad stroked ignorant statement, Sir. Many of us fit right in with the God, Family, Freedom, and Firearms culture of North Idaho. I want NOTHING to do with the asinine policies and culture I left behind in the People’s Republic of Kalifornia.
Agreed. Stop lumping Californians together. Many of us still vote red.
@beadmomma4 @mounty621 I dunno if you don't live in California but still consider yourself a Californian plus you get upset any time someone says something you don't like about Californians, you're provingg my point! If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, well... You see what I'm saying here? Identify as an American and never stick up for Californians or act like one and everyone will love ya !
When I move from California to idaho- first thing I’m going to do is buy that sticker 😁
Ice storm hit Idaho in 1996. Just thought you should know.
Idaho is beautiful, but ada county, and Boise is not pretty. Not quite sure what the big draw is. Besides, who wants to live right on top of your neighbors?
People with attachment disorders and those with an obsession for attention.
Works for me
You forgot slow down in the winter
I would rather move to New York city..
The biggie down bronx.
On number 7: that's what dworskak dam is for ,ALL THE PPL!
Pitiful video! It does not focus on the delusional population who consider ignorance an asset. We came here, 30 years ago, for the summers and the geography and NOT the people. If you do not belong to their "club" you will be somewhat tolerated, but not welcome. Freethinking is not allowed out here. Best of luck to all of us!
1….saying you’re not from Idaho. Or worse, proudly saying you’re from California
Idaho is Full-No Vacancy...please migrate to the next available, such as WYoming where you'll enjoy outdoor activities and wonderful sceneries!
No vacancy cracks me up. Face it California ownes Idaho nowadays. Does Idaho even exist?
@levinoble "You're living in your own private Idaho," ...B-52's
Idaho is Full. The stcker you see in Idaho that means, "I just moved here from California in the last five years, Idaho is now closed".
Are you too cheap to save your life or someone else’s?
All season tires suck. 1 set for summer, 1 set for winter. Change them at the proper time. Slow the hell down.
Front wheel drive with studded snow tires will get you anywhere. 4 wheel drive With no brains will substantially increase the cost of getting towed
Don't or about the sasquatch sightings
Some simple rules for living here:
1. Mind your own business.
2. Keep your hands to yourself.
3. Don't start none, won't be none.
4. FA&FO
Democrats, liberals and criminals (but I repeat myself) will find it almost impossible to comply with any one of those, much less all four of them.
Yeah, number 1 takes about seconds for them to violate. They have to insert themselves into your business, so they can heap their business into yours to affirm their feelings.
You think they drive bad in Idaho during bad weather? come out to CT during a snowstorm and let me know what you think ..lol
When it comes to moving to someplace you then complain about... many people move to a place in SPITE of the people, not BECAUSE of the people. Other people and their political views do not dictate where I live, nor should it. Many people want to live somewhere with certain topography or scenery, or climate... and that is the only thing that matters to them, and the poltical persuasions of their neighbors are just a pain in the butt they have to put up with.
We do not need anymore CA people moving here to change the dynamics. Do not buy all season buy all weather like the Nokian WRG4, it's snowflake rated
#8: The capital of Idaho is pronounced Boy-see.
It takes too much energy to say BoySee.....I'm a lazy Californian, so it's pronounced BoyZee.
I’m in Indiana, too old to move. However; I wish “blue” minded people would stay in their Blue state. I’ve noticed all the states they have invaded they have ruined them.
Red/Blue, it's all the same so please stop acting like you know about politics.
How are the public schools? I currently have to pay exorbitant amounts of money to have my kids in private school because I refuse to send them to the indoctrination camps here in California.
Depends on the area from what we have found. There is a charter school in Rathdrum called STEM Academy that has great reviews and good results which my friends who lives up there said was good also. The public schools are a mixed bag, but Idaho is a school choice state so your tax dollars can go to the charter school with your kid.
#7. All the answer are already on Reddit.
Were you aware local Idahoans loathe you realtors who make money transplanting out of staters into Idaho? $$$$$ right?
Telling Californians to behave like Idahoans when they move to Idaho is like telling a Grizzly to behave like a cow when it wanders onto a farm. Never gonna happen. Adios Idaho
LOL
"Ive got to get out of California. Its terrible here".
One year later:
"What the hell is wrong with Idaho? Im going ro run for office so its more like California."
Go back to Ca😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Over/under 20 years it starts to look like California or New Jersey (where I'm from)? Tell me what you think. I'm taking bets. For the record... I just wanna live there in the winter so I can shred pow.
Also, don't be black or Hispanic or politicslly to the left of Hitler.
No tellem' creek....Tell no one
