In Lewiston we have CCI Speer for ammo and Seekins Precision for AR's. And the Clearwater papermill was a big plus for us during the height of covid. They would deliver toliet paper directly to our local stores.
Lived in Sandpoint since 2010. During the last big scare (Obama) when local gun shops around the nation were cleaned out, our shops here had plenty of guns available the whole time. Point being..... those who wanted them around here had enough. I think those numbers you cited for gun ownership in this part of Idaho are skewed by the city dwellers who may be anti-gun. The rural areas are heavily armed in these parts! Only a fool would wander onto a property uninvited in a SHTF scenario around these parts. As an additional anecdotal point, when I had a foundation poured (around 2012) for a large greenhouse, the contractor told me that the majority of his income was from doing bunkers :)
I wonder if the contractor is recommending a radon test on these bunkers after they have are stabilized. North Idaho is located on granite that emits radon at a high level. Seems ironic to build an underground bunker, and then dying of lung cancer...
Idaho is uggllllyyy. Hot. Dry. Poor employment options. Rattle snakes. Strict gun laws. High emissions standards. Don't listen to these two dudes, it's terrible here. Check out Illinois. I here Chicago is beautiful this time of year. It's all true, look on the internet.
@@mrrbaskin3720 I have to agree with you after checking out the internet. I had my family all packed up and ready to move to Idaho and then I spoke with some people there and they were dealing with people snowed into their homes and many people were attacked by wolves and mountain lions. I guess the folks that work in the woods are faced with the reality of Grizzly bear attacks as well. Plenty of documentation of bears breaking into people's homes in Idaho, especially in northern Idaho. The amount of lead Kellogg and northern Idaho has in its water system from the mining is unreal. All around Coeur D Alene Lake there are signs to stay on the trails to avoid being poisoned by lead and other minerals from the mining. Google the superfund sites in Idaho and you'll see how poisonous that state really is. The main thing for people to remember is there are many trained people in Idaho who do "NO" prepping. They aren't concerned for SHTF scenarios because if that happens, they are coming to get your food and deal with you and your family. Since these predators know so many Californians and people from other states have moved to Idaho, they have done the same and will feed off of you when the time is right. Please don't be fooled by these guys talking here that if SHTF that law enforcement and first responders will be there to help. Simply put, they will not be there for the people. They will be more concerned in protecting their own families than fighting to protect the people. There is no plan of action for a real SHTF scenario and none of the cities in Idaho are prepared for a major event except for one city which is located 84 miles south of CDA. Fairchild AFB is still a major target and all of north Idaho will covered in radiation from an attack. Outlaw MC's run the roads of north Idaho and will be looking at you when SHTF. Read William Johnstone's "Out of The Ashes" series or A. American "Going Home" series and you'll see that little ole Idaho isn't the safest place. These guys talking here only want to sell you property. They're businessmen and who knows how truthful they are. Do you trust real estate agents, lawyers, used car salesman, insurance agents? My family is moving somewhere safer.
I moved here in 2011…I’m 2.5 hours south of Couer d’ Alene. We have a hydroelectric dam and two fish hatcheries locally and only 3000 people. You’re 100% correct! Northern Idaho will be just fine (from about McCall Northward). Great video! 👍🏻🍻
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u I am well aware;s not North but it is north central. Besides the video topic is about locations for SHTF, well up north is closer to the libards of Spokane so this area is arguably better.
@@SanitysVoid Our culture is nothing like that of North Idaho. North Idaho is very Christian. 2023 Idaho census says that Idaho in general is 27% unaffiliated. I live in Idaho County, 18th largest county by area in U.S. 17% Catholic, 11% Churches of Christ, 10% Mormon and 25% unaffiliated (People who want nothing to do with organized religion.) We have 17,000 population CDA has over 50,000. We are much more rural. I don't enough difference between conservative and liberals to worry about. I see nothing good about Hillary or Biden or Kamala or Rachel Maddow, but I don't see any good in Trump or Tucker Carlson or Ted Cruz or Tulsi Gabbard. I once liked Bernie until he endorsed Hillary. I'm not a follower. I'm not a Christian any more, because I have studied the Bible in several translations, how the Bible was put together and by whom and I study some world religions and the history of Christianity.For many years I was member of a church that is worth $230 billion, is the second largest private landowner in Florida is buy us lot of farmland in Washington State and Nebraska and has recently been fined $5 million by the IRS for hiding assets in shell corporations. I think church should pay taxes on their corporate earnings. North Idaho claims that the U.S. is a Christian country. It is not, otherwise the name of Jesus would be in our Constitution. The 5 most influential Founding Fathers wee not Christians.
I've been here two years now. I got out of that Southwestern state that I won't mention (for obvious reasons). I love everything about North Idaho. You guys are great!! I enjoy your RUclips channel. Keep up the great work.
Spokane didnt have missle silos. They have strategic nuclear bombers. North Idaho was once great pre-Californianication. Today its been annexed by Cali with high real estate prices and a changing demographic. Folks promoting Idaho as a place to come to are mostly are transplant real estate hucksters. Things will be pretty darn bad everywhere if theres some type of nuclear exchange happens. These guys are delusional if they believe theres enough wild game to support the population. That has been drastically depleted by predation and numbers are quite low compared to the 1990's back when there were a lot more elk and moose. These fellas are advertising
I've heard that during WW1/2, people hunting to supplement the grocery store lack, nearly made the rabbit/squirrels extinct. Also, a friend of ours doesn't hunt Idaho/Montana anymore because, he says, during covid, hunting is one of the things people turned to be outdoors, something to do because of shut-down stupidity. He says the wildlife is gone and does great in Alaska.
Heard from a Vet that during his active duty time learning about vulnerable and safe areas in the USA Clearwater Valley is one. of the safest. Idaho County being the least populated butargest by land. We lived in both Spokane and Bonner County. Parents had s cabin on Priest Lake in the 70s and 80s. I love it there and I love here in Id. County.
Right. Because the Southern Californians in this video, selling Idaho to their friends and driving up real estate prices are okay but actual locals are not. That doesn't sound stupid at all.
I don’t think there’s or has been any missile silos. However, there is Fairchild Air Force Base, which is right next to Spokane international airport. There used to be strategic air command bomber based out of there. Now there’s the KC 135 air tankers (flying gas station) if you’re in HAYDEN or anywhere north there is a mountain in between a potential nuke detonation site in North Idaho, providing excellent protection
There is alot of abandoned silos between Sandpoint and Mountain Home. They are decommissioned, but may still be "active" on Russian and Chinese target lists...
I live in Oregon have lived in Oregon all my life and I am tired of the Liberals destroying my state and virtually is nothing I can do about it so I am thinking on moving to Idaho I am on disability so I do need a medical I need to know how your hospitals are how your doctors are cuz I do need some specialists the part of Oregon I lived in was Central Oregon so I know what your severe Winters are like and I did used to hunt and fish right now I'm not doing any of that because of neck and back problems I was a logger for 14 years in a mill worker for the rest so I'm trying to do some research and you would probably help me out with any information that you could give me
I understand. Our daughters live in Bend, the town taken over by liberals and flooded with homeless and their trash/poverty spirit lifestyle. They can't afford Idaho prices, nor Bend's prices. Their church was the only one in town that refused to be shut down by a disease and state mandate/corrupt governor. Not only that, the church runs a large security team that are constantly trained and in position. Our girls and husbands are all trained and conceal carry, in church and wherever they go. My state of California and yours are in deep trouble.
I've been in CDA for almost two years. Appointments can be months out, unless you are already in the system. The population boom has put a strain on the medical system here. A nurse told me that so many retirees have moved up here that they've had to shift their focus to better serve the community.
Spokane is still a priority target. As is the Trident sub base at Keyport that hosts the world’s largest (allegedly) nuclear warhead storage facility. If you look at the end of a runway, and see a bunch of parking spaces just off to one side, those are “alert pads”. In case of war, bombers and tankers sit on those pads on alert status, and given the call they can rapidly taxi right to the runway and escape. Fairchild hosts SIOP (Strategic Integrated Operations Plan), AKA nuclear war plan, dedicated tankers and can host B-52s from Minot so they aren’t all vulnerable at one base. So in the case of an unlikely nuclear war, Keyport will get smoked in the first hour and blow downwind. From what I’ve seen, all of that will blow to the SE, so south of CDA. CDA is a good place to be, but being on the other side of the Long Bridge is ideal as water barriers are easy choke points. In the near term, this is a nonstarter, but fast forward 5-10 years to a war with China over Taiwan and a cyber attack that wipes out the power grid? That’s starting to look more realistic by the minute…
The nuclear submarine base is to the west of Keyport at Bangor, WA on Hood Canal. There is also the Indian Island Naval Magazine Depot 22 miles to the north which is one of the Department of Defense's largest ordinance storage sites on the west coast. Do they have nukes there? Either there or at the sub base is my guess.
Fairchild AFB is just west of Spokane and is currently home to aerial refueling tankers and as such is very possibly still a target. It once was a SAC base with B-52s and then the strategic bomber version of the FB-111. In the late 1950s there was a squadron (9 missiles) of Atlas E ICBMs scattered around Spokane and CDA but they were retired in the mid 1960s as the Minuteman missiles were brought online.
For everyone, check out a book by Joel Skousen titled: "Strategic Relocation, North American Guide to Safe Places." for added info for this discussion.
I've lived in northern Idaho for some time and I find that the only people that glorify moving to northern Idaho are people that profit from it like real estate agents and other two-bit hustlers
@@khester7397 Actually, you should probable reconsider living in Idaho if you do. Your attitude is definitely Californian. General_Loco is 100% correct IMO.
Thanks to all the new residents moving into my area who like to shoot their firearms at all times of day and night, I have a pretty good idea of the number and types of ordinance owned by each of them.
Well, until the new company that bought vista outdoors ships all the ammo they produce to Europe. Im hoping not but it wouldn’t surprise me. Any of the companies under vista outdoors which i believe cci is could end up shipping all their ammo over seas😠
I forget where exactly, or the name, but there is also another big AFB in Montana. Either that one or Fairchild AFB is home to B52s intended to haul nukes. So one of them is a nuclear target and potentially a hot spot for nuclear secondaries if hit. That said it's still a great area from a TEOTWAWKI scenario. Everyplace is going to have it's drawbacks. North Idaho isn't a direct target itself.
You need to look into the 1910 fire. It can absolutely be a bad place for wildfire. We also have earthquakes and we get a little shake every 15-20 years. Got a pretty good one in 1986 (I think, going from memory). Ammo is tricky - you could make a lot until you run out of primers. They make them in Lewiston, but the chemicals come from China (I used to work there).
@@markw999 Could be. I left Idaho in 1985 to serve a tour in Central America and didn't return until 1988. So I don't know what happened in Idaho during those years. I just remember feeling the earthquake in 1982 and 1983 which shook the entire state. "The 1983 Borah Peak earthquake occurred on October 28, at 8:06:09 a.m. MDT in the western United States, in the Lost River Range at Borah Peak in central Idaho. The shock measured 6.9 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent)."Wikipedia.
I heard Idaho has a high level of rayon and mold? And there is one lake ya cant eat the fish cause of high metal content in that lake due to a silver plant yrs ago
Radon is common here, but it is easy to mitigate. Mold is hit or miss and depends on the home having adequate ventilation. The metal content in the lake is a possibility, but there are dozens of lakes up here that aren't affected. It's from mining.
My husband works with a guy who has a wife and house in North Idaho but stays in king county to drive dump truck. He says trucking jobs don’t pay in Idaho like over here where teamster dump truck drivers make over 50$ an hour. If you’re retired it’s fine though.
@@thenorthidahoexperience my husband can retire I April with his pension so I don’t feel too stuck in Western Washington especially since houses in my area sell super fast. I can’t even buy another AR 15 in this stupid state.
Spokane is a priority for nukes still. It being a “refueling” station now, it’s still a critical target. However, those B-52 are still are capable of having a nuclear payload (Im positive Fairchild still has them in bunkers.) The Silver Valley use to be secondary targets due to the mines producing so much lead also the naval base in the lake up north. Who knows if that’s still in the game plan though since most of the mines died. A couple of MIRV missiles would definitely take care of the panhandle. But you’re right, fallout would be #1 priority for most citizens in the panhandle which would sustain significant nuclear fallout.
Escaped California in 2013-we will never go there again! First stop was North 40 in Ponderay to see the gun dept- sweet! Our family will be escaping that awful place next month and move close to us…we live in beautiful Sandpoint!
@@SanitysVoid fall out from Gritz. They are still watching people and they listen in to the radio frequencies that Fred Farnham set up for them. Big brother is out there unfortunately.
I met Bo and Randy at Almost Heaven. I am also about 20 miles away. I don't think Yellowstone is the problem the media tells you it is. Do more research at U.S. G.S.
@@rameylewis7730 Somebody's feeding you a bunch of crap. Most of the covenant community people moved on. We have a small MAGA community now at Almost Heaven II. Idaho, according to conservative CATO Think Tank is the least free state in the nation, second only to Texas. That is what happens when California conservatives bring their own brand of conservatism with them when they move here. And what do you know about radio frequencies? What kid of radio? 2 meter? HF? GMRS? CB?
I think Montana has more Vets, first responders, and special operators and we have peppers and preparers and military fringe groups, Montana has more guns then any state, with bullets for everyone
Love the podcast but we are getting pretty full up here in CDA. With California home prices the wages don’t balance the inflation, with them coming over offering more then the house is worth, with cash in hand while idahos can’t compete with the prices and getting driven out of their own land. Also Californians can’t drive in rain and they damn sure can’t drive in all the snow we get! As long as their Republican like you guys, they are welcomed but we are running out of houses! lol
Valid points! I would argue that most can drive in rain and a lot came from areas that get a lot more snow than we get. Northern CA is country through and through
@@thenorthidahoexperience That's probably the only valid point you have made with this video. Idahoans are bad drivers and Californians are used to traffic and being more aggressive. But Idahoans used to be able to drive with no one else on the road until all of the Californians and other out of staters arrived. I know, those peaceful days are long gone.
I keep hearing above North Idaho, but I am happy where I live and my county has just as many natural barriers as you do, and just as much water, and wildlife, though you can have the grizzlies, but I rarely see anyone open carrying and we have a milder climate, but keep advertising your region so fewer people will come here. Home prices are going up too fast as it is. You folks seem to be more into Christian nationalism. Things are pretty quiet here. We had our excitement in the early 90's when I moved from Washington. I take a little flack when I write to the editor but just because I'm not a conservative as I don't like government control. Real estate online videos seem to give the impression that Idaho means North Idaho or Boise. And I live 5 driving hours from CDA.
2:17 Besides the missile fields, Fairchild AFB had the 92nd Bomb Wing, B-52’s armed up with nuclear bombs, prepped and ready to scramble for minimal interval take off, fly to and strike assigned targets inside the Soviet Union. RUclips: B52 MITO
Don't forget Speer, Seekins, Rocky Mountain Reloading, and others in Lewiston. I also think Lewiston is one of the better parts of Northern Idaho. Plenty of water, resources listed above, as long as there are materials 😜. The area can be defended relatively easily using the waterways and ground terrain. Longer growing season, definitely high number of firearms available, resources like the mill (lumber) and TP!😂😂😂. Access to fish and game and surr there are other advantages.
You also have the Yellowstone super volcano that will take out the complete north Idaho pan handle just saying. There was enough game until everybody moved in now not so much. Yes there is a lot of water but in a SHTF the folks that live around it will do what ever it takes to protect it. Just remember folks are nice when all is good but in a SHTF you are a threat to their survival. JMO
We do have earthquakes here. I have lived in this area for 30 years and I’ve had four since I’ve been here high winds. Yes, winters are not as bad as people think fires. Yes not bad yet but time is coming.
Look at the air quality from the Canadian fires and others from WA and ID. There are years when a person can't breathe in Idaho. The smoke fro these fires is really bad.
Yesterday I went to a MASA (medical transport system for seniors) meeting and the lady putting it on conceal carried a 9mm and was from North Idaho. I mentioned that many in the county where the meeting was, has thought of North Idaho as super radical and she replied that most of the area was like the rest of Idaho and that there were just a few loud mouth radicals who like media coverage. I mentioned the work of Doug Wilson who is working feverishly trying to make blue Moscow into a red town, and she agree with me that he was another white Christian nationalist. Is all this correct?
This is the most welcoming community I've ever lived in. The media likes to portray N Idaho as white supremacist and radical, which is total nonsense. It's a great community and is very welcoming. A white Christian Nationalist is not the same thing as a white supremacist. To me that means; a white person, who believes in Christianity, and believes in the USA. Is that wrong? The media has done a great job of vilifying people who believe in God and Country.
@@thenorthidahoexperience I am currently watching a recent conference on Christian Nationalism from Rice University in Houston, Texas and it will run for 6 hours. They talk a lot about definitions on these panels. I currently have 5 Christian families as neighbors and they are all white and all believe in the U.S.A., but the do not classify themselves as Christian nationalists. They classify themselves as Mormons. I am white and believe in the U.S.A. but I am an atheist. What do you classify me as? Am I an American or do I need to be a Christian in order to be an American? I also believe that this country is not a Christian country because not all the Founders were Christians and the name of Jesus is not found in our Constitution. And though I study the Bible and its history and the history of Christianity in depth and at the online college lecture class level, from divinity schools, I do not believe as do most evangelicals and Christian nationalists, that the Bible is the inerrant word of the Christian God. But I am concerned about Project 2025, the 900+page blueprint to be used by the next conservative president to rid us of the "deep state", demand loyalty to the executive branch, have this nation declared a Christian nation, and have everyone have equal rights as long as they are Christians (See C-Span interview on Project 2025 this year). And the media is just as much conservative as it is liberal. They cover whatever will make them money. And Trump is no better than Biden.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u Your beliefs are your own. All that matters is whether you appreciate your constitutional rights, our freedoms, and our country. The love of God comes from free will, and it's your choice to believe or not. Real Christians don't judge; that's God's job. Law-abiding citizens, peacemakers, and those who respect each other's privacy and rights are what matter the most. There are a lot of Trump supporters here in North Idaho and a handful of Biden supporters, but it's everyone's right to choose. I happen to be a Trump supporter and consider myself a Christian, but I also struggle with my faith sometimes. I'm also a vet and I see us Americans as one. It's the things that divide us that I have issues with. Freedom and common sense are what separate us from the delusional.
@@captain_wiseass_weisenheimer47 Why are political beliefs in north Idaho so different from the rest of the state? And can you REALLY see that much difference between the two parties? Don't they both want government control even if they say otherwise? Don't the leaders of both parties want to help the super rich---Biden with wars and Trump with tax cuts? Don't both parties allow wealthy lobbyists to get what they want from the federal government? And aren't both candidates on power trip? If I could see a difference, I might then see a reason to vote in November. When Trump takes office, how will Project 2025 change this country? What will determine who gets rights and who doesn't? Will Trump take our guns like he said he would, in that infamous meeting, or would some be able to keep them? I don't believe in all these wild conspiracies that abound. I am poor now because I spent nearly 50 years believing in those theories and promoting them. Too many people, especially in Idaho believe those, but if you believe that a man can walk on water, that people can be turned into pillars of salt, and that the Grand Canyon was made in 6 days, you can easily fall for such conspiracies. And as to this nation being a Christian one because the founders were all Christians, all one has to know is that the name of Jesus is not in our Constitution and they need to read "The Jefferson Bible", the book that Thomas Jefferson took his oath of office on and you will know the beliefs of at least one founder. Most of north Idaho is probably evangelical Christian, but do eastern Idaho Mormons believe as you do? Online realtors talk of north Idaho like that term means IDAHO as a whole and not as a part. Do they believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God? And 20% of Idahoans are Mormon. And according to the census in 2023, 25% are unaffiliated when it comes to religion, meaning that they may believe in a deity but may not and they want nothing to do with organized religion. But since this is still a free country everyone should have the right to believe as he or she wishes. And how do you define REAL CHRISTIAN? Are Mormons Christians? JW's? Seventh-Day Adventists? What makes a Christian different from a non-Christian? Following the Bible, that very few people have ever read or studied? I am a happy believer in life in north central Idaho.
Its becoming very cliche to say that, but it's not the American thing to do. Nobody likes the super rich moving in, but most folks are just like us and want to raise their families in a safe place.
Well, the prairie looks like suburban Kalifornia, and the city limits of CDA is full of leftists now. Growth was not managed properly, but I'm happy for you that you made it out of Commiefornia!@@thenorthidahoexperience
Actually there are many homes for sale up here, and you don't own North Idaho, so you're not full. I find hilarious that people who have lived here for 1 or 30 years think they own all of North Idaho, and give people moving here an attitude.
People are the biggest natural disaster, especially when times get tough. Seen it first hand. If you think that northern idaho has enough resources to appease people without any regulation you are mistaken. Big game would be wiped out in a matter of months, competition would result in rampant murders, gangs would confiscate any leftover resources, especially with no authorities to enforce law and order. Sad but true.
For the possibility of these reasons, hundreds of thousands of smart people in the state have been preparing for many years. Difficulty in the world will continue. It's not going to change out there.
@@thenorthidahoexperience that's exactly what should worry you: tribalism. They will absolutely band together, and benefit those on the 'in crowd'. It's hit or miss to what morals they decide to follow and to what extent. Hunger and fear do things to people, even trained ones. People will stick with their families and the rest be damned.
@@thenorthidahoexperience You need to wake up brother. LE and first responders will need to take care of their families that are under attack and will not show up for work. Look at other countries that have suffered SHTF scenarios. It's only when there is a plan to protect the families of LE that LE will come together and work. LEO's will work only if their families are safe. Think about it. Idaho has no plan to protect your family in a SHTF scenario. Don't believe me, check with your local sheriff's office department of emergency management and you'll see I'm correct. I have already done this research.
@@thenorthidahoexperience Look up the religious stats. Lots of churches in North Idaho. In my county (not North Idaho) 17% of residents are Catholic, 11% are Churches of Christ, 10% are Mormon, and 25% are non-affiliated with any religion. Statistics of 2023. Idaho in general is 27% non-affiliated.
I just wish those gun lovers would have a little more respect for the nature they say they love. All the trails and backroads are littered with thousands of spent cartridges and beer bottles and garbage from their recent trip to the woods to target practice. It didn’t use to this way. Not sure what has happened but every time I hike in the area more trash has piled up from these freedom lovers. It’s gross people……pick up after yourself, And yes it is the gun lovers who are doing this, I watch it nearly every time I spend in the mountains or lakes. By the way I grew up with more guns than most. Clean up after yourself!
@@thenorthidahoexperience ya your right. Unfortunately it seems the disrespectful ones have a pretty big impact on the area now. Didn’t use to be that way, people who do this type of stuff feel, they feel they are entitled and there isn’t enough push back. I grew up in a small town nearby and anyone who did things like this would have been spoke too by local police and also by everyone who knew about it. But now it gets ignored. Every time I get out I always bring extra trash bags to clean up, not many others seem to do this. Not sure why. Was out a few days ago. Saw dozens of people shooting and stuff, only saw one person pick their spent cartridges. Everyone else, probably 8 to 10 groups, came and went left trash everywhere. Sad, I wish it wasn’t true but it is. Good people like yourself I wish had more sway over the others that mess everything up. Thanks for being respectful. Maybe it will wear off on others. At least we can try.
There is no reason to believe the Russians have cleared their coordinates from the old installations. Chances are there is a reserved missile for each existing installation.
Excellent info!!! Oh, I remember hearing about antifa that arrived in downtown Ceour d'Alene (2020?) hired to cause a raucous, but were chased away by armed citizens!! I saw video of it! That's what your video reminds me of. Regards from far north California
North Idaho may be very Christian, but Idaho in general is heading toward unaffiliated, especially with young people. Older citizens are more conservative and more religious than younger ones, but older ones will die off faster. You can find all these statistics on Pew Research, a research program that is used by most churches.
Definitely not the safest place. Where I live, we have the Bitterroots on the east, the deepest canyon in North America plus the Seven Devils Mtn. Range on the west and the Sawtooth Range on the south. The Spokane metro area is 450,000 and I live 5 driving hours from either that or Boise. And we have all the same natural resources that you have. We are fairly conservative. Our region has tactical firearms training plus a long range night time sniper training center for both civilian and ex-military. We have no interstate highway for many miles. We have the same problem with rising real estate. Our region borders Oregon, Washington, and Montana, but our biggest metro area has 40,000 people, plus we have two designated wilderness areas. and the largest and longest tributary of the Columbia River. And we have 1990--2010 conservatives rather than current California conservatives who want to bring their liberal ideas with them. Any place in Idaho is good in a SHTF scenario but some are much better, and much warmer than others, and thankfully I live in the best area.
@@thenorthidahoexperience I live in a nice quiet area. In 1994, I was sitting in a meeting of our county commissioners in an Elk's building, when a neighbor a few miles away walked up to the table where county officials were and slapped down a noose, saying, "We don't want no building codes in this country, " and we don't have them to this day. In a few minutes I will drive my old car to my gun range, put up some AR-500 plates and refresh my skills. A few months ago while in our county seat, I saw a bumper sticker on a pickup truck that said, "I own firearms and a backhoe." I don't sight-see by driving through a gate whether closed or open. Even county assessors know what such a sticker means. I don't have a backhoe, but I do have a small diesel tractor with a front bucket. I don't think we are headed for a civil war, and I'm an old man and it has been 10 years since I took tactical training, but I'm not concerned. And you are a long ways away if say the grid went down. I think that most people want to move to North Idaho and that's fine with me.
I love a manly looking man, and manly acting. Other than that, those things are just a long-lasting fad. I was just in Hawaii, and the original people are turning back to idols and ancestral worship, and submitting to face tattoos. They are only black colored tattoos, several inches wide in a swath, starting at the forehead, going down the side and clear down the side of the body. It is very extensive and painful. It started with the native men and now the women and some youth. It's a fad for idols now.
Gad, like we need more preppers and militia idiots here. FWIW, don't join a militia they are all run by FBI informants. Same with the racist groups. N. Idaho will fare better than most places if civilization falls apart. You'll survive a few more months. You're still hosed. You almost certainly can't "live off the land" like in your Rambo fantasy. Any stockpiles will be eventually depleted. Or robbed. Better to focus on keeping civilization together because the day we can't pick up the phone and order a pizza delivered to our houses is going to make everyone lose it.
We have a better chance of survival here among a more self- sufficient population who share values. Have fun in the balkanized urban centers full of dependant feeders.
It's very difficult living off the land, BUT we also have technology advantages, and knowledge/information advantages they didn't have before us. Living from the land means connecting back to what really matters, back to God, back to basics, that concrete and cities just do not have. The Bible says that all of creation testifies of Him. The city only testifies of man, and that gets you nowhere. Prepping has become a science and very well thought out in this nation. It's been going on for a few decades in preparation. Self and God-reliance cannot be compared to the failure of civilization/15 minute cities/and the WEFs C2030.
@@elizabethjohnson475 People can't live off the land. If the grid went down, according to Homeland Security, 90% of Americans would be dead after a year. I can't live off the land. I get my water off my roof, I cut my own own firewood, but I shop at Costco a short distance away ( 2 driving hours) and I grind grain and beans into flour, but if my grain supply ran out, I couldn't raise it where I live. And no one can go into the wilderness areas and survive. I live in such an area and living off S.S. is hard for a 79-year old. I live in the mountain west and people can't live off the land. You can hope that god will take care of you but remember that's what the Jews thought as they were marched into the ovens.
I have lived in California for many years now. It is definitely not the place it was in 1958. Anyway, I have been watching a lot of RUclips real estate programs about the area. Being a conservative supporting our wonderful republic, i believe my wife and I would fit in very well. However, I have come to the conclusion that Idaho is becoming the hoe in real estate costs. After selling my pad here, I expect to come away with $250k to invest in another state. I am retired on a fixed income. We are 74 and 72 respectively, so we can’t do things we did when we spent 20 years or so up in the mountains generating our own power, pumping water, chopping wood and the like. Unfortunately, I see greed as a real problem for all the real estate industry in IdaHO, pushing folks like us out of the market. $800k ??? That’s nuts and not feasible for us. I need to ensure that my wife would be in a comfortable position if I go first. It is a big disappointment for us. We were seriously looking at Idaho as a possible final destination for the rest of our lives. Take care
Unfortunately,treasure valley is heading that direction. Most of the cali folks that I have meet that relocated here are looking for a better quality of life for their families . The sad part is many tend to still bring the same political views and values that they have been trying to escape from. I pray and hope that they will embrace their newfound freedom of our wonderful state , but I digress history tells me different.
It has to do with heart and mind attitude. It has to do with getting back to God and reconnecting with the land and to what really matters. Mammon isn't what matters. The attitude that matters is the one of humility/authority/and truth. No fear. The Constitution, freedom, and walking in tough love.
@@ada-yw1bb I'm not conservative or liberal because I don't like government control or helping the rich and there are quite a few libertarians like me in Idaho.

In Lewiston we have CCI Speer for ammo and Seekins Precision for AR's. And the Clearwater papermill was a big plus for us during the height of covid. They would deliver toliet paper directly to our local stores.
Lived in Sandpoint since 2010. During the last big scare (Obama) when local gun shops around the nation were cleaned out, our shops here had plenty of guns available the whole time. Point being..... those who wanted them around here had enough. I think those numbers you cited for gun ownership in this part of Idaho are skewed by the city dwellers who may be anti-gun. The rural areas are heavily armed in these parts! Only a fool would wander onto a property uninvited in a SHTF scenario around these parts. As an additional anecdotal point, when I had a foundation poured (around 2012) for a large greenhouse, the contractor told me that the majority of his income was from doing bunkers :)
I'm sure the numbers up here are WAY higher. I had no idea there were that many bunkers...
@@thenorthidahoexperience Anyone with a bunker is not going to advertise it!
I also live in Sandpoint and have been here for 25 years. I think the people are the best. Don't start nothing, won't be nothing kind of attitude.
I wonder if the contractor is recommending a radon test on these bunkers after they have are stabilized. North Idaho is located on granite that emits radon at a high level. Seems ironic to build an underground bunker, and then dying of lung cancer...
@@tonyhayes5188 got to die of something, right ?
Keep up the good work. North Idaho is beautiful.
Thank you! Will do!
Idaho is uggllllyyy. Hot. Dry. Poor employment options. Rattle snakes. Strict gun laws. High emissions standards. Don't listen to these two dudes, it's terrible here.
Check out Illinois. I here Chicago is beautiful this time of year.
It's all true, look on the internet.
@@mrrbaskin3720 I know. Right? Quite a campaign to crowd the state.
@@mrrbaskin3720 I have to agree with you after checking out the internet. I had my family all packed up and ready to move to Idaho and then I spoke with some people there and they were dealing with people snowed into their homes and many people were attacked by wolves and mountain lions. I guess the folks that work in the woods are faced with the reality of Grizzly bear attacks as well. Plenty of documentation of bears breaking into people's homes in Idaho, especially in northern Idaho. The amount of lead Kellogg and northern Idaho has in its water system from the mining is unreal. All around Coeur D Alene Lake there are signs to stay on the trails to avoid being poisoned by lead and other minerals from the mining. Google the superfund sites in Idaho and you'll see how poisonous that state really is. The main thing for people to remember is there are many trained people in Idaho who do "NO" prepping. They aren't concerned for SHTF scenarios because if that happens, they are coming to get your food and deal with you and your family. Since these predators know so many Californians and people from other states have moved to Idaho, they have done the same and will feed off of you when the time is right. Please don't be fooled by these guys talking here that if SHTF that law enforcement and first responders will be there to help. Simply put, they will not be there for the people. They will be more concerned in protecting their own families than fighting to protect the people. There is no plan of action for a real SHTF scenario and none of the cities in Idaho are prepared for a major event except for one city which is located 84 miles south of CDA.
Fairchild AFB is still a major target and all of north Idaho will covered in radiation from an attack. Outlaw MC's run the roads of north Idaho and will be looking at you when SHTF. Read William Johnstone's "Out of The Ashes" series or A. American "Going Home" series and you'll see that little ole Idaho isn't the safest place. These guys talking here only want to sell you property. They're businessmen and who knows how truthful they are. Do you trust real estate agents, lawyers, used car salesman, insurance agents? My family is moving somewhere safer.
and chilly in the winter.
Spokane is the second largest city in Washington. 230,000. Spokane county 546,000. Definitely a target, especially with Fairchild Airforce Base.
That’s what I was thinking sadly….. that radiation is going to float over Idaho.
Boise is just a few thousand people smaller and growing faster.
I moved here in 2011…I’m 2.5 hours south of Couer d’ Alene. We have a hydroelectric dam and two fish hatcheries locally and only 3000 people. You’re 100% correct! Northern Idaho will be just fine (from about McCall Northward). Great video! 👍🏻🍻
That's a great location. Thank you!
Do a Google search on "worley Idaho ballistic middle silos" read some facts...
We are north of you in McCall, but we are not North Idaho.
I'm headed to Valley Couunty, my Great Great Granddad founded first town in 1883, Van Wyck, now Cascade.
Cool history
Don’t forget about freedom munitions in Lewiston
Yes sir!
CCI speer too. I worked there but am on leave due to injury.
Lewiston is not North Idaho. Look at a map of Idaho.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u I am well aware;s not North but it is north central. Besides the video topic is about locations for SHTF, well up north is closer to the libards of Spokane so this area is arguably better.
@@SanitysVoid Our culture is nothing like that of North Idaho. North Idaho is very Christian. 2023 Idaho census says that Idaho in general is 27% unaffiliated. I live in Idaho County, 18th largest county by area in U.S. 17% Catholic, 11% Churches of Christ, 10% Mormon and 25% unaffiliated (People who want nothing to do with organized religion.) We have 17,000 population CDA has over 50,000. We are much more rural. I don't enough difference between conservative and liberals to worry about. I see nothing good about Hillary or Biden or Kamala or Rachel Maddow, but I don't see any good in Trump or Tucker Carlson or Ted Cruz or Tulsi Gabbard. I once liked Bernie until he endorsed Hillary. I'm not a follower. I'm not a Christian any more, because I have studied the Bible in several translations, how the Bible was put together and by whom and I study some world religions and the history of Christianity.For many years I was member of a church that is worth $230 billion, is the second largest private landowner in Florida is buy us lot of farmland in Washington State and Nebraska and has recently been fined $5 million by the IRS for hiding assets in shell corporations. I think church should pay taxes on their corporate earnings.
North Idaho claims that the U.S. is a Christian country. It is not, otherwise the name of Jesus would be in our Constitution. The 5 most influential Founding Fathers wee not Christians.
Most beautiful place. When I retire and win the lottery I'll be heading your way boys. Great content, keep it coming
LOL, thank you
NW Montana here (Mission Valley). N ID is gorgeous and hopefully you’ve just convinced everyone to head up that way and not here 😂 Great show guys 😎
LOL, thanks
Idaho is full
@@mikevetromile1760 It is full for sure!!!
I've been here two years now. I got out of that Southwestern state that I won't mention (for obvious reasons). I love everything about North Idaho. You guys are great!! I enjoy your RUclips channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! Very much appreciate the comment!
This is why I moved from NY in 2017
I grew up in Upstate NY. Don't think Id like it there anymore
Love your sense of humor 😊
Thank you!
Thank you!
You bet!
Spokane didnt have missle silos. They have strategic nuclear bombers.
North Idaho was once great pre-Californianication. Today its been annexed by Cali with high real estate prices and a changing demographic. Folks promoting Idaho as a place to come to are mostly are transplant real estate hucksters. Things will be pretty darn bad everywhere if theres some type of nuclear exchange happens. These guys are delusional if they believe theres enough wild game to support the population. That has been drastically depleted by predation and numbers are quite low compared to the 1990's back when there were a lot more elk and moose. These fellas are advertising
Fairchild is not a SAC base anymore. Logistics hub with tankers now.
I've heard that during WW1/2, people hunting to supplement the grocery store lack, nearly made the rabbit/squirrels extinct. Also, a friend of ours doesn't hunt Idaho/Montana anymore because, he says, during covid, hunting is one of the things people turned to be outdoors, something to do because of shut-down stupidity. He says the wildlife is gone and does great in Alaska.
As a Fish and Game Warden I will agree with you 100%. These guys are definitely advertising and our expense.
Heard from a Vet that during his active duty time learning about vulnerable and safe areas in the USA Clearwater Valley is one. of the safest. Idaho County being the least populated butargest by land.
We lived in both Spokane and Bonner County. Parents had s cabin on Priest Lake in the 70s and 80s. I love it there and I love here in Id. County.
We just need a wall on the border with Spokane
I keep saying the same thing
Right. Because the Southern Californians in this video, selling Idaho to their friends and driving up real estate prices are okay but actual locals are not. That doesn't sound stupid at all.
Of all the cities in America to hate you pick the one that’s right next door with damn near identical, values and beliefs? I don’t understand that.
Spokane is the one locale in Eastern Washington that sends Democrats to the Legislature.
@@jeremiahr7585 recently yes. The locals haven’t changed at all. Just like CDA it’s the transplants that did that.
I don’t think there’s or has been any missile silos. However, there is Fairchild Air Force Base, which is right next to Spokane international airport. There used to be strategic air command bomber based out of there. Now there’s the KC 135 air tankers (flying gas station) if you’re in HAYDEN or anywhere north there is a mountain in between a potential nuke detonation site in North Idaho, providing excellent protection
Great info, thanks
There is alot of abandoned silos between Sandpoint and Mountain Home. They are decommissioned, but may still be "active" on Russian and Chinese target lists...
@@tonyhayes5188 is interesting. I’ve never heard that before. Can you share like a Google Earth pin of a location of some of these in North Idaho?
If you travel south between CDA and Moscow, there is an intersection with " missile silo road" (real subtle)...
One of my neighbors is a retired navy seal the other two are retired cops.
So many up here. You live in Hayden by chance?
Would rather be around a seal than a retired cop
Yep, moved to Idaho from Colorado. Read strategic relocation and were convinced to try it out. Love it here!!
Glad to hear it!
Same here. I will be there hopefully next year before shtf.
Dude we have the ability to go from powder to coin. Mine to the mint.
Glad to hear that! Thanks
6th reason, the natural beauty, due to the way locals take care of their state, hope to be up there next year (So Cal born and raised)
I am from San Diego now in North Central Idaho. You not coming here to vote for globalists, Democrats and gun control are you?
I live in Oregon have lived in Oregon all my life and I am tired of the Liberals destroying my state and virtually is nothing I can do about it so I am thinking on moving to Idaho I am on disability so I do need a medical I need to know how your hospitals are how your doctors are cuz I do need some specialists the part of Oregon I lived in was Central Oregon so I know what your severe Winters are like and I did used to hunt and fish right now I'm not doing any of that because of neck and back problems I was a logger for 14 years in a mill worker for the rest so I'm trying to do some research and you would probably help me out with any information that you could give me
I understand. Our daughters live in Bend, the town taken over by liberals and flooded with homeless and their trash/poverty spirit lifestyle. They can't afford Idaho prices, nor Bend's prices. Their church was the only one in town that refused to be shut down by a disease and state mandate/corrupt governor. Not only that, the church runs a large security team that are constantly trained and in position. Our girls and husbands are all trained and conceal carry, in church and wherever they go. My state of California and yours are in deep trouble.
I've been in CDA for almost two years. Appointments can be months out, unless you are already in the system. The population boom has put a strain on the medical system here. A nurse told me that so many retirees have moved up here that they've had to shift their focus to better serve the community.
Keep your kind of conservatism out of Idaho.
Spokane is still a priority target. As is the Trident sub base at Keyport that hosts the world’s largest (allegedly) nuclear warhead storage facility.
If you look at the end of a runway, and see a bunch of parking spaces just off to one side, those are “alert pads”. In case of war, bombers and tankers sit on those pads on alert status, and given the call they can rapidly taxi right to the runway and escape.
Fairchild hosts SIOP (Strategic Integrated Operations Plan), AKA nuclear war plan, dedicated tankers and can host B-52s from Minot so they aren’t all vulnerable at one base.
So in the case of an unlikely nuclear war, Keyport will get smoked in the first hour and blow downwind. From what I’ve seen, all of that will blow to the SE, so south of CDA.
CDA is a good place to be, but being on the other side of the Long Bridge is ideal as water barriers are easy choke points.
In the near term, this is a nonstarter, but fast forward 5-10 years to a war with China over Taiwan and a cyber attack that wipes out the power grid? That’s starting to look more realistic by the minute…
That's great info! Thank you
The nuclear submarine base is to the west of Keyport at Bangor, WA on Hood Canal. There is also the Indian Island Naval Magazine Depot 22 miles to the north which is one of the Department of Defense's largest ordinance storage sites on the west coast. Do they have nukes there? Either there or at the sub base is my guess.
Fairchild AFB is just west of Spokane and is currently home to aerial refueling tankers and as such is very possibly still a target. It once was a SAC base with B-52s and then the strategic bomber version of the FB-111. In the late 1950s there was a squadron (9 missiles) of Atlas E ICBMs scattered around Spokane and CDA but they were retired in the mid 1960s as the Minuteman missiles were brought online.
Sold!

I've lived in northern Idaho for some time and I find that the only people that glorify moving to northern Idaho are people that profit from it like real estate agents and other two-bit hustlers
The reason the state is flooded with Californians are Idaho land owners selling their lands for developments.
Move away, if it's so unworthy of praise in your eyes.
If it was a farmer/rancher/resident selling their property, would they, too, be profiteers?
@@khester7397 Actually, you should probable reconsider living in Idaho if you do. Your attitude is definitely Californian. General_Loco is 100% correct IMO.

I moved from Washington to Idaho 31 years ago, to get away from Government control but now we have it.
I already figured this all out and moved a couple days ago. Took me 8 years and my house is officially sold. Escaped the people’s republic of Wa.
In Washington, unorganized militias are legal but in Idaho they are not. Just look at Idaho state law.
Thanks to all the new residents moving into my area who like to shoot their firearms at all times of day and night, I have a pretty good idea of the number and types of ordinance owned by each of them.
Hopefully everyone gets along...

Cci / blazer is manufactured in Lewiston
Good to know
I worked there till Sept. Hope to return in Nov.
Well, until the new company that bought vista outdoors ships all the ammo they produce to Europe. Im hoping not but it wouldn’t surprise me. Any of the companies under vista outdoors which i believe cci is could end up shipping all their ammo over seas😠
@@cory5890 They still going to have US agency contracts.
My mother used to work there back in the early 80's when it was Omark. She was in charge of the power loads department.
I forget where exactly, or the name, but there is also another big AFB in Montana. Either that one or Fairchild AFB is home to B52s intended to haul nukes. So one of them is a nuclear target and potentially a hot spot for nuclear secondaries if hit.
That said it's still a great area from a TEOTWAWKI scenario. Everyplace is going to have it's drawbacks. North Idaho isn't a direct target itself.
You need to look into the 1910 fire. It can absolutely be a bad place for wildfire. We also have earthquakes and we get a little shake every 15-20 years. Got a pretty good one in 1986 (I think, going from memory). Ammo is tricky - you could make a lot until you run out of primers. They make them in Lewiston, but the chemicals come from China (I used to work there).
I believe ya
It was 1982 from Challis.
@@rameylewis7730 Ya, and I think there was a later one too. Later 80s.
@@markw999 Could be. I left Idaho in 1985 to serve a tour in Central America and didn't return until 1988. So I don't know what happened in Idaho during those years.

Unkownmunnitions!!👍👍👍👍
I heard Idaho has a high level of rayon and mold? And there is one lake ya cant eat the fish cause of high metal content in that lake due to a silver plant yrs ago
Radon is common here, but it is easy to mitigate. Mold is hit or miss and depends on the home having adequate ventilation. The metal content in the lake is a possibility, but there are dozens of lakes up here that aren't affected. It's from mining.
My husband works with a guy who has a wife and house in North Idaho but stays in king county to drive dump truck. He says trucking jobs don’t pay in Idaho like over here where teamster dump truck drivers make over 50$ an hour. If you’re retired it’s fine though.

@@thenorthidahoexperience my husband can retire I April with his pension so I don’t feel too stuck in Western Washington especially since houses in my area sell super fast. I can’t even buy another AR 15 in this stupid state.
Idaho ordinance is in Dalton
Thanks!
Spokane is a priority for nukes still. It being a “refueling” station now, it’s still a critical target. However, those B-52 are still are capable of having a nuclear payload (Im positive Fairchild still has them in bunkers.) The Silver Valley use to be secondary targets due to the mines producing so much lead also the naval base in the lake up north. Who knows if that’s still in the game plan though since most of the mines died. A couple of MIRV missiles would definitely take care of the panhandle. But you’re right, fallout would be #1 priority for most citizens in the panhandle which would sustain significant nuclear fallout.
I didn't know you worked for SBC. I worked for Kern County for years. Hopefully you weren't stuck in Baker. Lol How long ago did you leave?

Good neighbor to have...
Love the podcast but we are getting pretty full up here in CDA. With California home prices the wages don’t balance the inflation, with them coming over offering more then the house is worth, with cash in hand while idahos can’t compete with the prices and getting driven out of their own land. Also Californians can’t drive in rain and they damn sure can’t drive in all the snow we get! As long as their Republican like you guys, they are welcomed but we are running out of houses! lol
Valid points! I would argue that most can drive in rain and a lot came from areas that get a lot more snow than we get. Northern CA is country through and through
@@thenorthidahoexperience That's probably the only valid point you have made with this video. Idahoans are bad drivers and Californians are used to traffic and being more aggressive. But Idahoans used to be able to drive with no one else on the road until all of the Californians and other out of staters arrived. I know, those peaceful days are long gone.
We have the same problem 3 counties south of CDA.
I keep hearing above North Idaho, but I am happy where I live and my county has just as many natural barriers as you do, and just as much water, and wildlife, though you can have the grizzlies, but I rarely see anyone open carrying and we have a milder climate, but keep advertising your region so fewer people will come here. Home prices are going up too fast as it is. You folks seem to be more into Christian nationalism. Things are pretty quiet here. We had our excitement in the early 90's when I moved from Washington. I take a little flack when I write to the editor but just because I'm not a conservative as I don't like government control. Real estate online videos seem to give the impression that Idaho means North Idaho or Boise. And I live 5 driving hours from CDA.
can't wait to move to Idaho in a few years.
Go to CDA. That's where you want to live.
Earthquakes are a possibility here. I have felt at least two tremors in the last 10 years.
Pretty rare though
Idaho has had plenty of earthquakes. Mount St. Helens blew and covered Idaho with 6 inches of ash. They say Mount St. Helens is going to blow again.
Too close to the super volcano for me to move there.
North Idaho is UPWIND of Yellowstone. The Eastern States will get buried In ash, since the prevailing winds are FROM THE WEST.
If that blows, we are all screwed
@residingnorthidaho well living in southern Oregon got a better chance of survival. But still love the beauty of northern Idaho
Can’t wait to get there. Keep sending those weekly property updates brother!

Don't forget Speer, Seekins, Rocky Mountain Reloading, and others in Lewiston.
I also think Lewiston is one of the better parts of Northern Idaho. Plenty of water, resources listed above, as long as there are materials 😜.
The area can be defended relatively easily using the waterways and ground terrain. Longer growing season, definitely high number of firearms available, resources like the mill (lumber) and TP!😂😂😂. Access to fish and game and surr there are other advantages.
Spot on
Lewiston is not North Idaho. It is North Central Idaho. CDA is North. Not us.
You also have the Yellowstone super volcano that will take out the complete north Idaho pan handle just saying. There was enough game until everybody moved in now not so much.
Yes there is a lot of water but in a SHTF the folks that live around it will do what ever it takes to protect it. Just remember folks are nice when all is good but in a SHTF you are a threat to their survival. JMO
Good points for sure
We do have earthquakes here. I have lived in this area for 30 years and I’ve had four since I’ve been here high winds. Yes, winters are not as bad as people think fires. Yes not bad yet but time is coming.
Look at the air quality from the Canadian fires and others from WA and ID. There are years when a person can't breathe in Idaho. The smoke fro these fires is really bad.
Yesterday I went to a MASA (medical transport system for seniors) meeting and the lady putting it on conceal carried a 9mm and was from North Idaho. I mentioned that many in the county where the meeting was, has thought of North Idaho as super radical and she replied that most of the area was like the rest of Idaho and that there were just a few loud mouth radicals who like media coverage. I mentioned the work of Doug Wilson who is working feverishly trying to make blue Moscow into a red town, and she agree with me that he was another white Christian nationalist. Is all this correct?
This is the most welcoming community I've ever lived in. The media likes to portray N Idaho as white supremacist and radical, which is total nonsense. It's a great community and is very welcoming.
A white Christian Nationalist is not the same thing as a white supremacist. To me that means; a white person, who believes in Christianity, and believes in the USA. Is that wrong? The media has done a great job of vilifying people who believe in God and Country.
@@thenorthidahoexperience I am currently watching a recent conference on Christian Nationalism from Rice University in Houston, Texas and it will run for 6 hours. They talk a lot about definitions on these panels. I currently have 5 Christian families as neighbors and they are all white and all believe in the U.S.A., but the do not classify themselves as Christian nationalists. They classify themselves as Mormons. I am white and believe in the U.S.A. but I am an atheist. What do you classify me as? Am I an American or do I need to be a Christian in order to be an American? I also believe that this country is not a Christian country because not all the Founders were Christians and the name of Jesus is not found in our Constitution. And though I study the Bible and its history and the history of Christianity in depth and at the online college lecture class level, from divinity schools, I do not believe as do most evangelicals and Christian nationalists, that the Bible is the inerrant word of the Christian God.
But I am concerned about Project 2025, the 900+page blueprint to be used by the next conservative president to rid us of the "deep state", demand loyalty to the executive branch, have this nation declared a Christian nation, and have everyone have equal rights as long as they are Christians (See C-Span interview on Project 2025 this year). And the media is just as much conservative as it is liberal. They cover whatever will make them money. And Trump is no better than Biden.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u Your beliefs are your own. All that matters is whether you appreciate your constitutional rights, our freedoms, and our country. The love of God comes from free will, and it's your choice to believe or not. Real Christians don't judge; that's God's job. Law-abiding citizens, peacemakers, and those who respect each other's privacy and rights are what matter the most. There are a lot of Trump supporters here in North Idaho and a handful of Biden supporters, but it's everyone's right to choose. I happen to be a Trump supporter and consider myself a Christian, but I also struggle with my faith sometimes. I'm also a vet and I see us Americans as one. It's the things that divide us that I have issues with. Freedom and common sense are what separate us from the delusional.
@@captain_wiseass_weisenheimer47 Why are political beliefs in north Idaho so different from the rest of the state? And can you REALLY see that much difference between the two parties? Don't they both want government control even if they say otherwise? Don't the leaders of both parties want to help the super rich---Biden with wars and Trump with tax cuts? Don't both parties allow wealthy lobbyists to get what they want from the federal government? And aren't both candidates on power trip? If I could see a difference, I might then see a reason to vote in November.
When Trump takes office, how will Project 2025 change this country? What will determine who gets rights and who doesn't? Will Trump take our guns like he said he would, in that infamous meeting, or would some be able to keep them?
I don't believe in all these wild conspiracies that abound. I am poor now because I spent nearly 50 years believing in those theories and promoting them. Too many people, especially in Idaho believe those, but if you believe that a man can walk on water, that people can be turned into pillars of salt, and that the Grand Canyon was made in 6 days, you can easily fall for such conspiracies. And as to this nation being a Christian one because the founders were all Christians, all one has to know is that the name of Jesus is not in our Constitution and they need to read "The Jefferson Bible", the book that Thomas Jefferson took his oath of office on and you will know the beliefs of at least one founder.
Most of north Idaho is probably evangelical Christian, but do eastern Idaho Mormons believe as you do? Online realtors talk of north Idaho like that term means IDAHO as a whole and not as a part. Do they believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God? And 20% of Idahoans are Mormon. And according to the census in 2023, 25% are unaffiliated when it comes to religion, meaning that they may believe in a deity but may not and they want nothing to do with organized religion. But since this is still a free country everyone should have the right to believe as he or she wishes.
And how do you define REAL CHRISTIAN? Are Mormons Christians? JW's? Seventh-Day Adventists? What makes a Christian different from a non-Christian? Following the Bible, that very few people have ever read or studied? I am a happy believer in life in north central Idaho.
Yay,! Differently agree, love all the cool gun owners but please don’t move here. We are now packed.
We are full.
Its becoming very cliche to say that, but it's not the American thing to do. Nobody likes the super rich moving in, but most folks are just like us and want to raise their families in a safe place.
Well, the prairie looks like suburban Kalifornia, and the city limits of CDA is full of leftists now. Growth was not managed properly, but I'm happy for you that you made it out of Commiefornia!@@thenorthidahoexperience
Lots of 10 million dollars homes up there. Not a good sign. Hoping to find something affordable. Sounds like my people up there.
Actually there are many homes for sale up here, and you don't own North Idaho, so you're not full. I find hilarious that people who have lived here for 1 or 30 years think they own all of North Idaho, and give people moving here an attitude.
You sound like a real estate agent.@@kth6126
Maybe look up the fire of 1910..
Not joking, I think we’re in the death zone if /WHEN Yellowstone blows.
I think you’re right about that.
People are the biggest natural disaster, especially when times get tough. Seen it first hand. If you think that northern idaho has enough resources to appease people without any regulation you are mistaken. Big game would be wiped out in a matter of months, competition would result in rampant murders, gangs would confiscate any leftover resources, especially with no authorities to enforce law and order. Sad but true.
This area is filled with veterans and former first responders. I have no doubt that the people would band together and solve any problems
For the possibility of these reasons, hundreds of thousands of smart people in the state have been preparing for many years. Difficulty in the world will continue. It's not going to change out there.
@@thenorthidahoexperience that's exactly what should worry you: tribalism. They will absolutely band together, and benefit those on the 'in crowd'. It's hit or miss to what morals they decide to follow and to what extent. Hunger and fear do things to people, even trained ones. People will stick with their families and the rest be damned.
@@thenorthidahoexperience You need to wake up brother. LE and first responders will need to take care of their families that are under attack and will not show up for work. Look at other countries that have suffered SHTF scenarios. It's only when there is a plan to protect the families of LE that LE will come together and work. LEO's will work only if their families are safe. Think about it. Idaho has no plan to protect your family in a SHTF scenario. Don't believe me, check with your local sheriff's office department of emergency management and you'll see I'm correct. I have already done this research.
If you love Jesus are there any good churches you could recommend. Thinking you guys might be true believers and be in the know on this.
Lots of great churches here. You'd have to try a few out and see what fits.
@@thenorthidahoexperience Look up the religious stats. Lots of churches in North Idaho. In my county (not North Idaho) 17% of residents are Catholic, 11% are Churches of Christ, 10% are Mormon, and 25% are non-affiliated with any religion. Statistics of 2023. Idaho in general is 27% non-affiliated.
I just wish those gun lovers would have a little more respect for the nature they say they love. All the trails and backroads are littered with thousands of spent cartridges and beer bottles and garbage from their recent trip to the woods to target practice. It didn’t use to this way. Not sure what has happened but every time I hike in the area more trash has piled up from these freedom lovers. It’s gross people……pick up after yourself, And yes it is the gun lovers who are doing this, I watch it nearly every time I spend in the mountains or lakes. By the way I grew up with more guns than most. Clean up after yourself!
It is not ALL the gun lovers. It's low-class people who litter. Most gun lovers are extremely respectful of nature.
@@thenorthidahoexperience ya your right. Unfortunately it seems the disrespectful ones have a pretty big impact on the area now. Didn’t use to be that way, people who do this type of stuff feel, they feel they are entitled and there isn’t enough push back. I grew up in a small town nearby and anyone who did things like this would have been spoke too by local police and also by everyone who knew about it. But now it gets ignored. Every time I get out I always bring extra trash bags to clean up, not many others seem to do this. Not sure why. Was out a few days ago. Saw dozens of people shooting and stuff, only saw one person pick their spent cartridges. Everyone else, probably 8 to 10 groups, came and went left trash everywhere. Sad, I wish it wasn’t true but it is. Good people like yourself I wish had more sway over the others that mess everything up. Thanks for being respectful. Maybe it will wear off on others. At least we can try.
Not sure why you would encourage folks to move to your area.. But that said, please folks move to that part of the Gem state and stay away from mine..
There is no reason to believe the Russians have cleared their coordinates from the old installations. Chances are there is a reserved missile for each existing installation.
Safe assumption
Is Idaho seeing a large influx of illegal immigrants, like other states and metropolitan areas?
Nope. At least not North Idaho, not sure about south
We're not paying them to come here, like Washington and California are.
@@khester7397 Guess you are not familiar with southern Idaho seasonal farm workers...
@@thenorthidahoexperienceWe are not seeing an influx at all, not even of the poverty minded homeless, either, here in far north California.
Excellent info!!! Oh, I remember hearing about antifa that arrived in downtown Ceour d'Alene (2020?) hired to cause a raucous, but were chased away by armed citizens!! I saw video of it! That's what your video reminds me of. Regards from far north California
That was a powerful show of local force. Thanks for the comment!
Just keep your California conservatism in California. Idaho conservatism isn't the same.
Are you guys true believers?
Believers in what? I am unaffiliated when it comes to religion.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u thanks that answers what I was looking to understand.
North Idaho may be very Christian, but Idaho in general is heading toward unaffiliated, especially with young people. Older citizens are more conservative and more religious than younger ones, but older ones will die off faster. You can find all these statistics on Pew Research, a research program that is used by most churches.
Definitely not the safest place. Where I live, we have the Bitterroots on the east, the deepest canyon in North America plus the Seven Devils Mtn. Range on the west and the Sawtooth Range on the south. The Spokane metro area is 450,000 and I live 5 driving hours from either that or Boise. And we have all the same natural resources that you have. We are fairly conservative. Our region has tactical firearms training plus a long range night time sniper training center for both civilian and ex-military. We have no interstate highway for many miles. We have the same problem with rising real estate. Our region borders Oregon, Washington, and Montana, but our biggest metro area has 40,000 people, plus we have two designated wilderness areas. and the largest and longest tributary of the Columbia River. And we have 1990--2010 conservatives rather than current California conservatives who want to bring their liberal ideas with them. Any place in Idaho is good in a SHTF scenario but some are much better, and much warmer than others, and thankfully I live in the best area.
I guess I'm coming your way when SHTF....
@@thenorthidahoexperience I live in a nice quiet area. In 1994, I was sitting in a meeting of our county commissioners in an Elk's building, when a neighbor a few miles away walked up to the table where county officials were and slapped down a noose, saying, "We don't want no building codes in this country, " and we don't have them to this day. In a few minutes I will drive my old car to my gun range, put up some AR-500 plates and refresh my skills. A few months ago while in our county seat, I saw a bumper sticker on a pickup truck that said, "I own firearms and a backhoe." I don't sight-see by driving through a gate whether closed or open. Even county assessors know what such a sticker means. I don't have a backhoe, but I do have a small diesel tractor with a front bucket. I don't think we are headed for a civil war, and I'm an old man and it has been 10 years since I took tactical training, but I'm not concerned. And you are a long ways away if say the grid went down. I think that most people want to move to North Idaho and that's fine with me.
Its great until you convince EVERYONE to move here……. And it becomes more and more crowded, just sayin😒
That sayin, still enjoyed the show
You guys are just giving us an infomercial. Nice try.
You got me!
Stop making me want to move states.
LOL
Why does all the California men who move here bald, bearded, and have tattoos?
I don't know how to answer that...
I love a manly looking man, and manly acting. Other than that, those things are just a long-lasting fad. I was just in Hawaii, and the original people are turning back to idols and ancestral worship, and submitting to face tattoos. They are only black colored tattoos, several inches wide in a swath, starting at the forehead, going down the side and clear down the side of the body. It is very extensive and painful. It started with the native men and now the women and some youth. It's a fad for idols now.
Yeah yeah move there... 🤦♀️
It's not for everyone
You don't know what you are talking about lol there was a earthquake in the Boise area
The title literally says North Idaho.
Please don’t make videos that will encourage more people to move here. 😊
This maybe a playground to you, but it is my home I was born here unlike you
I was born in America. I'm an American. End of story
Gad, like we need more preppers and militia idiots here. FWIW, don't join a militia they are all run by FBI informants. Same with the racist groups.
N. Idaho will fare better than most places if civilization falls apart. You'll survive a few more months. You're still hosed. You almost certainly can't "live off the land" like in your Rambo fantasy. Any stockpiles will be eventually depleted. Or robbed. Better to focus on keeping civilization together because the day we can't pick up the phone and order a pizza delivered to our houses is going to make everyone lose it.
Dark outlook
We have a better chance of survival here among a more self- sufficient population who share values. Have fun in the balkanized urban centers full of dependant feeders.
I imagine the prepper/militia types fuel the local economy a bit. Black Sheep is certainly thriving.
It's very difficult living off the land, BUT we also have technology advantages, and knowledge/information advantages they didn't have before us. Living from the land means connecting back to what really matters, back to God, back to basics, that concrete and cities just do not have. The Bible says that all of creation testifies of Him. The city only testifies of man, and that gets you nowhere. Prepping has become a science and very well thought out in this nation. It's been going on for a few decades in preparation. Self and God-reliance cannot be compared to the failure of civilization/15 minute cities/and the WEFs C2030.
@@elizabethjohnson475 People can't live off the land. If the grid went down, according to Homeland Security, 90% of Americans would be dead after a year. I can't live off the land. I get my water off my roof, I cut my own own firewood, but I shop at Costco a short distance away ( 2 driving hours) and I grind grain and beans into flour, but if my grain supply ran out, I couldn't raise it where I live. And no one can go into the wilderness areas and survive. I live in such an area and living off S.S. is hard for a 79-year old. I live in the mountain west and people can't live off the land. You can hope that god will take care of you but remember that's what the Jews thought as they were marched into the ovens.
I have lived in California for many years now. It is definitely not the place it was in 1958. Anyway, I have been watching a lot of RUclips real estate programs about the area. Being a conservative supporting our wonderful republic, i believe my wife and I would fit in very well. However, I have come to the conclusion that Idaho is becoming the hoe in real estate costs. After selling my pad here, I expect to come away with $250k to invest in another state. I am retired on a fixed income. We are 74 and 72 respectively, so we can’t do things we did when we spent 20 years or so up in the mountains generating our own power, pumping water, chopping wood and the like. Unfortunately, I see greed as a real problem for all the real estate industry in IdaHO, pushing folks like us out of the market. $800k ??? That’s nuts and not feasible for us. I need to ensure that my wife would be in a comfortable position if I go first. It is a big disappointment for us. We were seriously looking at Idaho as a possible final destination for the rest of our lives. Take care
lololo. idaho is just cali up north now.
Um no
62% of idahoans voted for Trump in 2016, 67% voted for Trump in 2020.
The numbers would indicate idaho is getting even more conservative.
Try harder .
Unfortunately,treasure valley is heading that direction. Most of the cali folks that I have meet that relocated here are looking for a better quality of life for their families . The sad part is many tend to still bring the same political views and values that they have been trying to escape from. I pray and hope that they will embrace their newfound freedom of our wonderful state , but I digress history tells me different.
It has to do with heart and mind attitude. It has to do with getting back to God and reconnecting with the land and to what really matters. Mammon isn't what matters. The attitude that matters is the one of humility/authority/and truth. No fear. The Constitution, freedom, and walking in tough love.
@@ada-yw1bb I'm not conservative or liberal because I don't like government control or helping the rich and there are quite a few libertarians like me in Idaho.
When the 'SHTF' I wil send my children & grandchildren to N. Idaho. I will remain in my home state of Oregon......."behind the lines." 😑🪖⚔
