    There seems to be a lot of videos around of people just going out to a remote area, assume nobody own it, and set up shop claiming they are homesteaders. They even find old buildings and cabins that are locked and just assume they are "abandoned". I agree with previous posters - fences and signs are the minimum to have., especially if you are a remote owner.

    Fences and signs are your first line of defense. Sheriff is your final call. There are measures in between that I won't post.

    Hello fellow Cochise county homesteaders! I just stumbled across your channel today. I researched Arizona land ownership a few years ago, and, if I remember correctly, you don't need to have those "no trespassing" signs up in order to be able to use legal action against trespassers. Also, if you do post signs, you need a minimum of 1 sign per fence line (e.g. for a rectangular property, that is 4 signs). You guys have probably done the right thing with where yours are posted, but a general guideline I have heard is to post them at any entrance to your property.
    BTW, I've just subscribed, onward to 500 subs!

    A Garmin along with the chip for your area will show on the map who exactly owns the property around you as well as your name should or will eventually appear…what about a game camera

    • @Christenhelm
      @Christenhelm  2 месяца назад +1

      We are lucky that our county has an online interactive parcel map, which gives us the property owners whenever you click on a parcel.
      Games cameras can work as long as you are in the area to check them frequently. Thats the downside of cameras is that you’ll need a power source & way to transmit that data (internet) if you’re not in the area for a while. That makes more sense for vacant homes really, or new builds.

      I was just involved in a situation that showed that neither the county maps nor the gps data was correct. The only thing that is legal is a survey from a licensed land surveyor. You don’t buy land based on some app on your gps or based on the county tax maps. You buy land based on a deed drawn and stamped by a licensed surveyor.

    There are so many people living out of their vehicles nowadays in the Western states and all the criminals coming over the border; even if I built a beautiful home I would never feel safe in that kind of location, especially at night; additionally, large corps are buying up all the water rights; if you don't have water you don't have anything. Good luck to you both.

    To be honest they do it because it's not right to own something if you don't use it we also own offgrid land and live on it. There is a law on the books that says you don't have a right to have a place you don't maintain or take care of.
