Skip those other rivers and pop down south of border to swim and fish in Smith River. Cleanest river in lower 48. lol Crescent City, Ca come see the redwoods, plus if you’re coming from Medford you’d have to come down hwy 199 anyways to get to brookings or gold beach. Always love driving up to Brookings and going up the Chetco too though. This area is my home and I love it! Even if it is remote it’s so beautiful!
I live here! Selma, Oregon out in the forest with the sasquatches (not kidding).
Say hello to Josh and Jess for me. I hear they had a kiddo.
I’m just southwest of ya in Crescent City. Always love driving through Selma and going to lake Selmac on my way to grants pass.
Gigantapithicus...
the US government has several in a military facility in Colorado 🤫
I grew up in a Ashland 100% percent true
I live in southern Oregon and I have been here almost 10 years along with about 30000 other people
I have property in Gold Beach. I always just assumed the gov’t knows how much lays in gold deposits and is keeping it for themselves.
I live in Crescent City, California, twenty miles from the Oregon Border. Nothing but Bigfoot and trees up here.
I live in rural Curry County. It used to be affordable to live here until the Real Estate people saw $$$. Now the cost of owning a home or property is unattainable for most of us. I'm all for the protected wilderness. "We paved paradise and put up a parking lot"
There should be plenty of residential options in Medford coming online in the next 5+ years. The whole area around Timber Products has been turned into strip malls and 3 story apartment buildings. The same thing is happening by South Gate near Harry & David. Tons and tons of new places to live...I wanna get the heck out of Medford now tho. Too many people. I grew up in a small town, not a crime ridden city with homeless issues...
Southern Oregon native here there are a lot of strange things out in those woods. You can travel 100 miles through the siskiyou mational forest all the way from Galice to Gold beach lotta mystery out there
I love the landscape of western and central Oregon. The problem is Washington, Oregon, and California do nothing but try to out-libtard each other.
truth
I take it you haven’t been to the PNW
@@Bigztheloveive lived here for 58 years and he is not wrong.
Awesome! So that means you won’t be coming…
You could not be more wrong about the area. I live there, and medford is one of the fastest growing cities on the west coast. And tourists are very quickly destroying and getting land closed.
He’s talking about just north of border on coast, Brookings, Oregon and Gold Beach area. I’m just south of border on coast in crescent city, ca. Medford and Grants Pass are growing but Brookings isn’t.
I grew up there and live just south of border in Crescent City, Ca. Brookings, Oregon is right over border on coast and 30 min north is Gold Beach. It’s a beautiful area, fishing towns and beautiful mountains, rivers, and coastline. Come visit sometime.
I live near Bear Camp Road. The poor family actually went down a spur called South Galice Fork (most primitive, narrow, gravel, sharp-rocks road you can get) instead of Bear Camp Road which is 1.5 lanes/single lane but is paved. We did this ourself (in summer) as you have to turn right onto Bear Camp but if you keep going straight you find yourself on South Galice Fork which is why I know how it happened. We turned around at ~8miles in but Kim Family went about ~18miles in full winter + snow. It's amazing they made it that far. Another death occurred on Bear Camp a few years earlier than the Kim family when a guy took a camper up there and got stuck in a snow drift and couldn't get out They didn't find him for a couple of months from what I read. These days, they close it off during winter to avoid mishaps.
Those fires last summer were horrible.
If memory serves when the Kim family ended up on the South Galice spur the gate had already been locked by DOT but snowmobilers had cut the lock. Also I'm not sure how much of bear camp rd was paved at the time, and what I heard was their gps told them to go on bearcamp rd even though it was closed for the season.
Curry County is a nice county to visit and my least visited Oregon Coast county as a Portland native myself. I've been to Brookings twice, but I haven't touched Gold Beach and Port Orford. I will one day. It's a very remote and beautiful county. Coos and Curry are my two favorite Southern Oregon counties.
So many rare plants that only occur in this area, I’m glad it’s protected
I grew up in port orford. It’s so small. 1000 people in my town
Trying to move to port Orford, nothing available
I live here, and it's not outlawed. There are some protected areas, but to say you're not allowed is just fake info.
(shhhh!)
Let it always remain so.
I live where your talking about. They aren't protecting anything. They are logging the crap out of it. If I spike camp in one area, within a year, it's logged and a desert. The only break I ever saw was during the pandemic. Lot's and Lot's of logging here guys.
The big environmentalist gov people,..are just liers.
The rogue River trail is a great hike to gold Beach
I grew up here before it doubled in population. Lived mostly between the Chetco and Winchuck rivers I roamed on both foot and horseback...Now I'm on the Smith...lol. Like wildrivers❤. Oh you are a realtor😮
Enjoy your VISIT
Been in Eugene 39 years .. Love the PNW 💜✌🏼
Well I ran into Bigfoot there and everywhere in Western Oregon the old Forest and logging roads are blocked off by the Forest Service once you get beyond that Southern strip so my guess is there is something there. Go ahead try and drive them to camp you'll see all blocked off except some main routes.
Are you sure it’s the forest service and not a private logging company that owns thousands of acres in that southern costal range?
@@SawlteeTricks22 Well i was using GPS mapping from hunting services on two different GPS devices and my phone so yeah it was Forest Service land or BLM.
Don't forget the Oregon Caves outside of Cave Junction.
I grew up in Southern Oregon, lived there the majority of my life but the intrusive government in Oregon makes nearly impossible to enjoy anything in the state. Both my parents are buried there, and sadly, the rest of my immediate family have moved to Texas. I truly miss the beautiful scenery the state has to offer but I'd rather live in a state that's free and you can exercise your God given rights without scrutiny from big brother.
Amen. Land grabs are nefarious, and only one of a million nefarious things government overreach does and it’s getting WORSE every day😔
Free unless you need an abortion, or you're a boy who has long hair in certain public school districts, or you're a company who wants to boycott Israel. Texas is also one of the most difficult states to vote in the entire country. Yay freedom.
Shut up! We don't need to be overrun.
This has to be ragebait 😂
Yes, we have fallen into the final stage of deep Marxism here. The Governor has been fully treacherous, and the State is almost lost. They want to replace the Beaver as the State Animal with the bust of Fauci. Free "Trans" surgeries for children without parental knowledge or consent. If you're pink, please stay in California, Venezuela, or Cuba. Did we mention how much of the land in the video is run by Mexican Cartels using slave labor on their plantations? Yes, I am completely serious. We need help, not more invasion...
Placement of the kalmiopsis wilderness was only to lock up precious metals. Thats it.
The Josephine Ophiolite is in that region and makes it particularly special. And the serpentine rocks are oh so beautiful. It is essentially where the mantle (oceanic crust) was uplifted to the surface. This brought up a lot of heavier elements to the surface that are toxic to life. It’s why the area has so little biomass but so much biodiversity. It’s tough for life to survive and life that does survive has to really specialize to make it work. Such a special area and I hope it can stay protected. Read recently that a Canadian mining company got rights to mine part of 8 dollar mountain, lets hope that doesn’t come to fruition.
Grants pass sewage helps the fish glow in the dark,also the flavor is similar to hog mah.
I love agness oregon grew up camping out there
It’s literally where I want to move lol
According to that population density map it appears most of the state is largely uninhabited
About 42% of the state's population lives in the tri-county area around Portland. About 100 miles south of there is college town that has about 9% of the population. In the middle of those is the Capitol where another 8% of the population lives. Putting nearly 60% of the population within about a 100 mile chunk of the state.
I was supposed to live in Oregon. 5 years ago, on a road trip looking at homes, we were able to afford a manufactured home. In Lakeport, Clear Lake, California. We stayed, dammit. I will get there somehow, someday. Liked your video, you get a subscription! Well done. 😊😊
I live in waldport up the alsea River, but have logged all over Oregon. I've lived everywhere in Oregon.
Klamath count and others are so strict on what you can do and have on your own property that no one wants to buy there. They have some zoning that only allows you to stay overnight for 14 days in a year. Wtf, and only a 8x10 building 😢. So much for freedom
Oregon is beautiful I lived there for a short period I'm just not a fan of the state income tax
Nice video. I'm glad that there are still areas that are protected by the government. I don't think most people realize how wild and rugged some of these areas are.
I agree 100%!
Government owns and manages most of land in south west Oregon but I would not say it’s protected. Unless burned black is protected
@@user-cm7he2ep5x : You can thank Congress, the current and past administrations, the courts, overly aggressive fire suppression, climate change, and the Endangered Species Act for that. I would also say that "burned black" applies only in some areas.
@@johnmontgomery3174 yes all those things add to the problem except maybe fire suppression. It’s fine to use controlled burns as one way to manage forests but that’s not fire suppression. When a fire starts sometimes they put it out and sometimes they let it burn?? It should be a crime to let a fire burn that starts in summer. There’s not a word I can think of that explains how frustrating and sad it feels to see Federal Government doing such a poor job managing forests. Like so many things nowadays we know how to manage forest but we are not allowed to. How did we lose control and is anyone at the wheel
@@user-cm7he2ep5x: There is an excellent TED lecture that shows what excessive fire suppression does to actually increase stand densities. As far as your comment about anyone being at the wheel, I would say no one is at the wheel. I'm not sure what the current mission of the forest service is, but it bears no resemblance to the forest service I worked for.
My dream is to own a place in Brookings 🙏
interesting use of the word "desolate" lol. fantastic and informative video though. subbed. thank you.
Hellgate is a really good venue. I really had a great day on my birthday, surprised by my daughter!
Great video 👍
Where is fuana frey?
...we live here during the rainy season ..👽👽👽
Grew up in Grants Pass, never once heard anyone say hey were told they can't buy property around here. Lol
@BuyingSouthernOregon Hi Brian, do you know the source or who created the population density map you showed? I created one almost identical of the Oregon population density in RayShader a couple of years ago. Would love to touch base with another data scientist here using this package!
I'll see if I can find it again
Desolate and misunderstood part of Oregon - Multnomah County.
Yes, the hairy man is there, but they are everywhere.
The mountains are full of valuable minerals.
I think it’s ancient pyramids and mounds
Lit video. Nobody knows about Oregon FR
Bear Camp rd is worth taking once in your life. Some seriously sketchy areas
I like how you point out that the lack of responsible forest management has led to massive fires, but why would you then say they are restricting us from owning it because of their conservation efforts? If you look at a map of fires in oregon, the majority of the damage is on the land owned by the government. That's because private land owners have an invested interest in protecting it.
Love southern Oregon Coast. It is so beautiful. The rivers are turquoise blue all the time. Friendly people. But I sure would not want to live there. Unless I had that cabin in the woods. So much BLM land and so rugged there are only a few places that are habitable.
It's gorgeous for sure.
Yep, tried to move there. :(
Its because they need an unsecure un surveilanced pathway across the Cali state line.
I live there. Lol
Swamp thing...might be real 😮
Lol brookings is bult in the corner u say is on touchable
High cost of living and little to do...............
Nobody lives here???!!
Can live in Antarctica either..
Weed, everything that was south facing with water was bought up and trashed.
Nope, you are wrong sir!!! Lol
Sure it's not a lithium hotspot too?😮
The last thing you want is a private company is come strip mine that land cause they'll sure as shit do it.
Maybe they're trying to RESPECT NATURE...
Enough of the click bait titles FFS.
I grew up in southern Oregon. Your saying the government won’t let you live there. It’s called public land why are you making it sound like a conspiracy. Also you can totally buy property in the area you showed on the map. Really confused at what point you are trying to make
I'd suggest watching the full video and then I'm sure you'll understand my point. It was pretty clear...
@@BuyingSouthernOregon I did watch the whole video. What is the point you are trying to make? It doesn’t make sense. There is public land out there and private land. So why does nobody live in this HUGE area? Because it is national forest? Just confused why you word it in some overdramatized way. Is that a way to get clicks or something
Agenda 21
I hope it can stay sparsely populated forever ! Blame the mess on Californian’s fleeing their mess, but bringing it with them wherever they move to !….just saying. I am a fourth generation state of Jefferson native and I am sickened by what the west coast has become ! 🤮👎💩❗️. RED WAVE 2024❗️❤️🇺🇸❗️
