It's a lovely place to live. There's a lot of controversy over city people moving here and messing with the delicate culture and background, as they see it as paradise, not a homeland for a certain kind of people.
The family who owns the ranch (Not Tim and Judy) recently worked with the Payette Land Trust to put Hettinger Ranch into a conservation easement for perpetuity. This means that even if the family sells, the ranch can never be developed beyond a working hay, and horse ranch. Only allowing for one more house, and a few outbuildings to be built. Amazing and honorable decision by the owners.
I have spent time on the south fork within sight of their ranch, and I applaud their lifestyle. It is usually quite mild in the winter, but the summer is very hot in the valley. I greatly enjoyed my time there, but you do have to be aware that there are a large number of rattle snakes in the area.
i'm jealous lived in Idaho for ten years. spent lots of time at the city of rocks. went back to live in 2016 but wife could not handle the big country.
This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Simply breathtaking. The daughters seem to know the value of good hard work, and are doing pretty darn good for themselves
Why would anything take 15 years to get approval? They should not have to ask anyone if its on there own land and they are not stopping the water from traveling on.
unfortunately those days are long gone regardless of what state you reside. It's sad that you need govt approval to do ANYTHING on your own property, but such is life in America these days.
im betting you could get away with something like that on your own property especially because how often is a police man going to come to your property that far out and would he even find out
I may haved missed it in the video but I didn't hear how this family generates income. Paying for those plane deliveries twice a week in the winter, property taxes, etc. Did the family 'retire' wealthy or are they communting to the 'city' for work?
What part of idaho? I'm moving up to the upper Idaho it.really appeals to me, Canada is also short distance, and Montana isn't' much, further to the border..Lots, What I've been told, i believe there's lots much to do there and can have a better since of peace and quiet. Where I live now is a wholey mess, so much gangbangers, but this state is also run by the Meth monsters, to me are even worst and biggest problem this raunchy statel is overwhelmed!!! And no jobs unless you speak Spanish only. So I'm saying saying adios Muchchos lol.. thanks for letting me speak my mind, and to vent!!!; Thanks again, and CHOW
Tom Tapp A 32 mile stroll following two Banks of rivers between Mountain Pass? I used to stake mining claims in that neck of the woods and I can tell you 32 miles taking 10 hours is an unbelievable achievement.
True, not many. I danced in the field at his daughters wedding. She married a Navajo smokejumper. Later in the night the rap music blared. I'll never forget the cowboys and smokejumpers break-dancing.
USA is a little bit too big. About 52 times too big. There should be 52 countries with different languages to make each state more powerful. Just a few places are overpopulated and favorized. Right now all families need to split because of job opportunities. It's within the country but the distance and cost makes it unable to keep relationships between grandkids, kids, parents and grandparents. That's the view of a European. Don't hate.
It's true, the Nez Perce (Niimipu) and the Sheep eater (Tukudeka) tribes utilized this land, but they did not live there year-round. Private property was not culturally recognized by the tribes like it was to the European immigrants at the time. The treaties have not been honored. Tim's daughter married a Navajo smokejumper, so keep that in mind for perspective.
looks like paradise to me
The state of Idaho should help them to preserve this way of life. I'd love to see a documentary of these folks.
It's a lovely place to live.

Idaho is like the Alaska of the lower 48!! It's nice. That's why I live here!!
how i would give anything to be able to live like that in the mountains
Hey good news you pretty much have to give everything up to live like that
Sounds like a dream to live like that! I’d happily give up the city crap, internet and social media to live in a place like this one.

Just beautiful snow
My friend I could listen to you all day long telling your life stories God bless you and your family
Tim is a swell guy! Love to visit there, since we are Warrenites in the summertime.
So fortunate I live in Idaho. Best place to live in my opinion.

Tim and just are so awesome. I got to stay at the ranch a few summers ago,the most awesome place I have ever been!

This Is a Great Video* Your Place Is Beautiful*
Hello from the Lost River Valley !
I lived on the North Fork.area of the Salmon River.
The best part is his daughters. Smokejumpers, Doctors. They're tough. Real Tough.
I agree. the way he said it too.."They're tough..." you know those are good children. They listened to Momma and Papa.
i'm jealous lived in Idaho for ten years. spent lots of time at the city of rocks. went back to live in 2016 but wife could not handle the big country.
Good living!
Wonderful!!!
Love it The way life should be!
This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Simply breathtaking. The daughters seem to know the value of good hard work, and are doing pretty darn good for themselves

+How To That's what I was thinking. I thought Idaho was supposed to be a free, small-government state!

Would love to see pictures of the inside of your hydro plant sorry asked a stupid question earlier but thank you
Welcome to the new USSA.

Livin the dream!

I love how he talks about his daughters!
Booyah!

I am interested.
Beautiful Shoshone Country you have "settled" in.
Road bike from DC to Salmon. It's the real deal. Check out the museum, it is also legit.

Is hydro plant water-powered or geothermal
Water.
If he had a son he’d probably be a navy seal
Sign me up👍🙏
he looks like dj harvey.
Kids all left
Ha ha ha! Lol I lived it I know
But how does he make money?? Plus kids in college!!
he sells insurance
@@FISHBREATHH Only one still in college. She is probably working to put herself through school. He said one of them did.
The family that owns the property pays a modest salary to the caretaker.
I'm surprised our worthless federal government hasn't come and taken it away from them.
Ciol
Where does money come from? Even putting girls thru college. Wow.
When his kids went through college it didn’t cost 100K. Probably 2k per semester at a state college.
This guy had money to start with....can't do this wo money

where did u get 52 from lol
Max S from area 52 ;-p
Europeans can piss off, that’s the view of an American.
Fair play to ya fella. Just a bit confused...homesteaded? Do you mean taken from the indigenous peoples?
Taken fair and square. War is how humans gain resources from other humans, nothing new.
+nathan osgood And why do people always think the native Americans lived on every square mile of land on the continent? That's absurd.
Like NY, MA, PA, DE, but not as bloody.
Charming, educated at a Trump rally? You must be a Washicun.
