I had a cabin in a remote location and there was a jail break and the sheriff had followed these convicts in the snow to my cabin area. He called me asking how to get inside because I had steel plates with welded bolts through the door frame and windows. I told them to see if they could find a way in, they couldn’t. The convicts weren’t there. The next summer I took the sheriff up and showed him the hidden access point. He was surprised.

    In 2018, the Spring Creek fire in the Southern Colorado Mountains burned 108,000 acres and destroyed 140 structures. My cabin was in the middle of the fire. I had cleared all brush and most trees within 100 yards of my buildings. In 1984, I had a cement foundation and the cement wall was 5’ above ground. It also had a metal roof. The bottom half of the structure was also metal and only 4’ was T111 siding. I had it built up due to the snow and didn’t want to take a chance on a fire destroying it. I had a well and solar powered system. The fire came within 100 feet. The gravel kept the fire away. Almost all the cabins in the area burned and it has taken years to get some of them rebuilt. My 250 gallon propane tank survived untouched. Last year, I sold the property because at 75 years old I am not able to enjoy it anymore. I wish you the best in building your dream place. 🙏🏼🫡

      Wow, that's amazing. Thanks for the inspiration. For me it seems like a race against time. My property has not been maintained for a very long time if ever so it's a lot to get through. I'm also going to be planting new trees too. I have quite a but of old growth trees and would like to diversify the species. Unfortunately, I just found I have quite a bit dwarf mistletoe on my ponderosa pine so I have been culling the infected trees or at lest thinning and increasing the communication distance. It's my primary focus right now. :)

      @@offgridco a bit of advice about how you plant trees. I would take a gallon plastic jug and drill holes in the sides & bottom. Then fill with small rocks. I would insert a plastic hose 18” long in the jug opening. Then place the jug next to the roots of the tree you are planting. Then I would just fill the jug with water. This way you don’t waste water watering the ground around the tree. After a couple of years you pull the hose. Just something to think about. Good luck. 🙏🏼🫡

    I wish I knew how to get away with that in Colorado. You have to have a 650 gallon septic system just to be able to occupy your dwelling legally. I miss my family in Colorado but I ain't going to put in a 650 gallon septic system just for me to sleep on my own property. Greed, property values, taxes, and the banks seem to be more important than somebody being able to be happy.

      Interesting. My land is zoned agricultural and I probably have to become more versed. There are land use restrictions and how many out buildings (4) while not having a residence. I am somewhat trapped because of the existing buildings. It's not clear to me what I can and can't do. Thanks for the tip though. The building was in rough shape. We were able to salvage quite a bit of good lumber and hopefully the rebound will be better. I'm working now to find a contractor for footings and foundation for my small home. I'm hoping after I have a "legal dwelling" I will have some more liberty.

      I do have signs. Fence will be a longer term goal. The cost of everything is great and I'm doing all of this without debt so it's taking me a while.

    Your gonna do fine with that; Can do adittude. Winters in the Cascade range are just as un predictable. 2 winters ago, I exsperienced 13 to 14 ft accumulated snow through out the season. That kept me busy and snowed in for 6months. There is always small game like rabbits that once in a while appear. Concentrate on your dried or canned beef stores and beans, smoked hamm hocks and belly's. Dried split peas & blackeyed peas,. Salt pepper Flour and sugar. Me, I store up on these and coffee along with dried onions potatoe flakes, rice and noodles. I use 5-gal buckets&lids too store thee excess till I need to restock thru winter. My creek freezes over, but honestly theres no better tasting water than fresh fallen snow. Not bottled, filtered or anything. Makes the most tender pot of beans and best tasteing coffee ! Not much else I can tell ta except, firewood. Have plenty ready, 6 to 7 cords covered and dry. I should really take that last one more seriously myself,, been going on 6 winters dropping and cutting almost daily every cold ass winter. Your distant ancestors,, with all there lack, made it or you wouldn't exist today,,, you will TOO!

    10/4 on the tinder box fire hazards. Was in the bootleg 418'000 acre wild fire in southern Oregon in 2022. 18 acres and everything I owned burnt. Over 4000 various pines and aspens,, all gone. I'm 68,, and I gotta tell ya, broke me down to the lowest level of my life short of my brothers death in the 60's. But, life is limited, we all know that. I'm rebuilding, but where else would I live or be able too at my age, nursing home's are not my gig.

    Haven't read all the comments. But from what I have read, watched combined with my life exsperience and that of my deceased Great Grand father, grand dad, parents and siblings all dead,, ; I see you all are not seeing so clearly the; How's, the Why's and thee only remedy. I have always been analytical my entire adult life. I watch, listen and couriously question all of it. These things have deep roots that have been forming and growing for Generations. I can refer you too History on this day we celebrate our PAID BY SCARIFICED BLOOD & TREASURE,, un excercised and taken for granted by most as a reason too party, "IDEPENDANCE". That word, has responsible requirement of "EXCERCISING". We The People, are not doing the slightest effort in enforcement when we are; self servingly putting our own personal desires ahead of, insuring the right of the WHOLE 1st. The Romans conquered and aquired by 1st, DIVIDING with strife and confusion. This tactic here, today U.S.A., 2024 is being employed by our elected and appointed from top to bottom Gov. enitie's. It's not; just in Colorado. Nor is it from California transplants born or Raised in New York or Texas. Alot of those are just like you and me, attempting too escape these shackels of bondage. Running from attack never removes the preditor. It may buy you time too stratigicly plan a response, but your gonna have too fight or run your entire life to stay alive. My Great Grand Father; E.H. Horton built his own life, so "I", his Great Grandson, could do the same. It's been a long and tough 68 year journey. He started his own buisness in Greely, Colorado; "Horton Plumbing Co." With a mule and wagon. He plumbed the 1st City Office, a town at the time, that later when it became a city, would now require him to become a lic Plumber,, or be put out of buisness. He also was a golden gloves boxer,, and according to family,, put the so called authority out. Out on the street! They later, by mail of course, sent him an honorary lic which he pitched into the waste can at his desk😊. He would later in his life, move to the remote THEN, National Forest later to be encompused as part of Estes Park, build by his own sweat and witt 2 log cabins on the Thomson River. One for Him, and thee other for family. Don't think chainsaws had been invented at that time. My mother, father, me and siblings lived in Greeley and before Great Grand dad's death, spent two, maybe 3 summers up there in the late 50's in that extra cabin! I am 68 now, and so glad I am closer to my departing than my starting. All these DRACONIAN measures messing everything up for those desires of the few. There reasons if asked; would be lies plucked from as many as there are stars. It stem's from there envy, hatred or jealousy of your found happiness in your live's. They are not happy, never can be. It's an agenda of vendictive attack for your enslavement most likely from bad, youth full behaviors not ignored, but anserwed with a pounding. Or an unintended slight at the H.S. dance not being asked to dance or dated. There anger/hatred, is deep rooted. So, you ask;" how did they rise too power?" By honning in on what your desire's were. It could be becoming a popular candidate for Governess or Govenor by sumitting a discussion of; how too free up revenue by de crimminalization of pot smoker's. "Alot of you", individually like pot, I get it. But that in its self is not a reason too vote him or her into office,, these people have THERE OWN PERSONAL AGENDA'S, some harmless, but some vendictive and evil. It's thee evil that will never be satisfied with its chaos. It will conquer and destroy ALL PURSUIT of liberty, freedom, justice and HAPPINESS. You already "KNOW" how too stop it,, it will require what it always requires; sacrificing safety and fear for COURAGE and Blood shed. How too prevent it from reacurring,, make sure never to call it outdated or allow others to brain wash your children into dismissing it from there education. Instead of looking at it as a holiday/party excuse, Toast its rememberance of DAILY EXCERCISE celebrated.
