Gabe thank you for showing us other disaster areas and hearing where you grew up as a kid and it's no longer there I bet there had to be some good memories.
WOW!!!! This is a place so few people on earth would ever otherwise be able to see, Gabe!!! Thank yet again!!
The inside if fissure 8 is quite Beautiful , one minute I’m saddened the next minute amazed , I think that is what makes The Big Island feel so special, it is my favourite of the Islands we visited ❤️
Wow you have some steady hands. The car is going all over the place but the video is very steady. Kudos
Thank you for showing this. I saw die pictures in the 80s end 90s, but I newer saw actual pictures or videos. It takes a long time to recover, but the nature will win. Greetings from 🇩🇪
I saw this area back in the mid-90's. There wasn't much of a road back then and only a couple of crazy residents that had to use dirt bikes to drive in. It's great to see that the road was put in and the hand-built homes are being built. The landscape reminds me of living in the desert. This must be the new "place of refuge" for the modern day.
Very interesting video. Thank you for this information about building on lava flow.
Gabe Thank you for sharing love all your videos coming out.. I have been learning more about Hawaii from you then in the books lol... Take care & big Hugs ... :")
I lived near Hawaiian beaches and out on kalapana road near forest reserve from 95-98. When I was kid best time my life I do think. Great video of old kalapana brings back some Old memories.
Very interesting video...found your channel via Scott. Wow you have to have some knowledge to live here. Pioneering going on for sure.
Mahalo Gabe for showing us that estate.
I think I would stay in a vacation rental for a couple of nights just to experience it , I bet the sunrise & sunsets are pretty special with all that sky 😊
Oh wow, thanks Gabe very interesting! Windy but very peaceful place..
A Bates it looks peaceful and boring....Gabe is right..😊
We keep saying thank you to you guys for sharing with us and I hope you know that we really love watching videos posted. Don't know if I'd like living there, but it's awesome.
mahalo for watching
Really enjoyed the video, Mahalo Gabe.
Aye Gabe! Extrodinary life you are living!!! Yeah, you make stressful situations for others look like changes are just part of everyday life to be expected in hawaii. That garden is now a moonscape as you well described on your tour. Dude, you are the coolest/calmest person. I'm poating some of your videos on facebook to keep family and friends aware of what we are not hearing or seeing on the news. Hope that is okay with you.
thank you
This is my favorite volcanic area of study. The number of brave and hearty souls, who have returned to the destroyed Kalapana Gardens, and once again thrown caution to the wind is a huge plus, continues to grow. They exemplify the true "Pioneering Spirit" here, and never seem to give up. in spite of Madam Pele.
Looks like a tropical Iceland down there.
brilliant idea to show post lava living
Thank you for filming this. I have been dying to see what Kalapana looks like today. Really interesting!
mahalo for stopping by
🌋 🏠 I find this place interesting thanks for going there. First heard of it about two months ago.
Great video thanks! Great place for a tiny house on wheels for a quick getaway.!
I remember Queen's Bath, Star-of-th-Sea church (moved), the little store and Harry K. Brown County Park.
Walter's was the name of the store
What happened to all those people who lost everything?
I understand they do not own their lots anymore. Loosing everything you own... Hard to imagine how it may effect their lives. They must know something about something. Continentaler’s mind would probably be off the track and commit suicide, since main “program” has been broken.
Do not get attached to anything
on earth for it is not yours.
Great video!
Thank you for this interesting video.
mahalo for watching
Noway would I live there. Kudos to those with that pioneering spirit.
I miss cruising around Puna, especially Kalapana.
As you know from earlier comments I've made Leilani Estates was our first pick.
Kalapana Sea View Estates has now taken that spot on the list. Sad to see Ahalanui is gone. The wife keeps talking about new hot ponds being created. Do you think you can stay at your place in the long run? Mahalo 🤙
Very interesting Gabe. I prefer the lush green jungle to barren lava landscape. And the constant wind would bother me too. Hardy people must live there. Thanks Gabe!
or crazy people......
And as high as the sky 😁🤭
Yes crazy people. I would have to do a lot of rock breaking and building rock walls to cut down on wind and makes soil settle down.
The steam you drive through on 130 is fine. I live next to those plates and those cracks run through our yard and under my hale. She burps out fumes with all the steam but they have monitored and still monitor those cracks for so2 and it's nothing to trip about, you're more often than not smelling lots of hot earth and lava rock mixed with plenty steam. That said, I'm so used to it that I don't roll up my windows driving through and had an asthmatic buddy with me and it messed him up so I'm not saying it doesn't deserve caution and respect, just that it is MOSTLY steam.
I put up a clip of me mowing our section of the cracks if you wanna see something fairly surreal it's on my channel. Aloha 🤙 Imua Puna

Thanks for the video! We will be staying with someone for a night in Kalapana Gardens and excited to feel the energy and check out the stars at night :)
They must have some really lacks zoning codes there. In most states you can't get a building permit in a 100yr flood zone or build even a 15' x 15' chicken shed within 50' or more of intermittent seasonal creek even if it hasn't flowed in 40yrs. Forgive Mr if I don't shed a lot of tears the next time the lava flows, especially if Federal monies (yours and mine) are used to bale em out. Hater's, I'm just saying
Hardcore living for sure. Kudos to them ....
IAM in Trinidad and I love your videos
Wow its going and GOING
You are the best on youtube Gabe the best.
well thank you Jack
WOW
Wow! I'm drooling. Have to save up for it.
Omg! Is this what Leilani is gonna look like? This is insane... it’s like building a house on the moon 🤭
When I went there in the late 90's the lots were 500 bucks...It would be a good place for a white stone palace to contrast with the lava sheets...
Thanks for doing this video. I wondered what it would be like to live on the lava. Amazing that people do it. A hard scrabble type of life it seems. I wonder why it doesn't rain much down there? I much prefer all the lush greenery and flowers.
Far cry from the old Kalapana but incredibly fascinating.
Thanks so incredible, nice and cheap but I'm not sure if I could live there
the wind is not from me. I like the jungle with trees
When Puu-oo Crater comes back to life, it will started spewing lava and cover up the new homes.
Gabe Are Those People Building Along That Old Lava Flow Taking A Risk With Lives Knowing That A Lava Flow Can Destroy That Area Again. Also Find Out If You Can If Those Home Are Insured By Any Insurance Company.
Really enjoyed the fun fact. Vert much. 5 thousand for some land, can do, pitch a tent, light a campfire to cook, hummm , run ? No hehe. No birdie or coconut trees etc. Beautiful skies, ocean, too windy, hugh plus, less mold !!! Mahalo
Debbe Long and how very boring for your pets..no dog walks...sad..errrr
@@overthemoon9941 lol, I'm 98 lbs. Not a good start lol. My pup is a cheweenie, we go to Kansas lol.
was there a guy who lived here alone on the lava? I saw a program years ago about a guy whos house was out on lava and he had to walk to a long way to get to his house across lava. Some places were still hot lava and eventually he did have to leave because the lava took his house. I think he lived there for a few years. there were no other houses around.
his house was covered in lava about 5 years ago. he lived in Royal Gardens
Hey man! Watch what’s coming ur way...we have a massive storm headed our way...so hunker down man...b safe...
Wind wind please give me some wind !! I live for the last 10 years in the High Rhine valley SW Germany Bordering Swiss and France , and there is absolutly no wind here even in Winter! and having spent 50 years in England Walking at a 45 degree tilt!!! I miss the wind , It so damn warm down here even in winter without a chill factor!!
Very interesting video Gabe, thank you! Do these people have to pay taxes ? Do they have the view of the ocean?
It's been decades since I been down to Kalapana. Great video you have here. Some questions:
1. After people's properties got covered by lava in the 1990s, did they retain ownership of that property or was it surrendered, sold or auctioned off?
2. Aren't some of the same people who lived here before the flows took their property able to resettle on the same parcel they owned?
3. What will the status be for those many residents who lost their property in Leilani, Vacationland, etc this year? Do they still retain the property and be able to build on it someday in the future?
This area would be good if the state would allow those large RV homes to be used. Lava flow comes... just drive your home away. Surely an RV is not like a real home, but it is an option that should be considered.
The Hawaii Files Channel You asked my question. I will await an answer. Airstream town. Drive away when the 🌋 returns.
Me too lol I went through the comments and he does say that the residents own the geographic location so it is still theirs
Someone in another video said that people retain ownership.
However, I’m wondering if there are foreclosures if loans are not paid. If your only home is covered, I doubt one could live elsewhere and pay their loan and new home.
The Hawaii Files Channel if it’s covered by lava you lose your property to the state, you can’t even get a insurance claim unless you prove your house caught fire prior to the lava
So the 700+ homes that got covered by lava this year, all the people lost their rights to their property??? I find that to be very un-American. There have also been farmers who lost ag land. There has to be some kind of justice for the home/landowners. I can understand the part of insurance not covering but ownership of the land itself is different I think. I guess someone needs to do some research into the law on this. Plus how did the people in this video get these properties? Did they own them previous to those lava flows or did they buy them afterward?
Handhold on the passenger side, spiral antenna, window jet ports on the hood, no hood scoop, does Gabe have a 2010-2018 (aka 5th gen) Toyota 4Runner?
I’m not sure what I think about this, but home is where the heart is❤️
👍👍👍
Is there any way to predict future direction of lava’s flow and potential frequency of eruptions?
Wow I hate to be a Grinch but I wouldn't want to live there for all the tea in China but I enjoyed the video.
Annie: Lewis ..same here...it would be so far down on the list. Not a chance..
Fascinating and interesting. Did your family ever live in that house again after the evacuation?
it was a beach rental we were renting that got covered in lava
What is the weather like in kalapana? Wind is normal for me. I usually prefer higher cooler elevations.
I live on lava! its just a lot older LOL yay Naalehu
me too
It’s so sad, that it doesn’t appear that natural flora or fauna has been able to return to this once plush area
can take a long time especially if lava keeps flow over the same area
any idea how much it costs to build a basic home on the lava field? say 3 bed 1 bath similar to plantation house?
Aloha Gabe. I grew up in Hawaiian acres but my grandparents left me 2 lots in Kalapana. I am going back this January. I have a couple of questions if you dont mind. When I look at the map it shows some of the roads have been established but some of the roads are not in. My property is on a road that is not cut in. Is it my responsibility to pay a dozer to cut in a public road? Or I just drive the easiest path to my property even if I cross other peoples undeveloped land? Do you know if the lots have been resurveyed or is each owner responsible for that? Thank you so much.
The wind is good for keeping mosquitoes away and all the other bugs.
Did you ever check out the Royal Hawaiian Subdivision? Haven't been there for 20yrs and am wondering if there's still houses up their.
yes some of my older lava videos are filmed in Royal Gardens
Awesome! What about their Sewage?
My is Hawaii born 2013 Hawaii is Beautiful and vandeful country Hotel Royal Kuhio is vandeful.
I was wondering if there was any evidence of old houses that survived the lava flows from a rock wall built around there house?
30 years to wait for anything to grow back. I wander if volcano will wait that long before it’s next visit.
The signs should warn that a 4 wheel drive is best! Compost toilets? In a moment of levity, at least there aren't the annoying sounds of lawnmowers😉
What's a safe running speed? 10 mph?
PLANT MULLBERRY TREES DUDE!!! THEY GIVE SWEET BERRY AND LEAF FOR YOUR ANIMALS!! LOVE THIS PLACE PLANT WALL OF TREES FOR WIND BREAK, JUST SAYING OLD ONE LEGGED JOSEPH T RETIRED NAVY
His hands movement in glass😀😄
So can the people who lost their homes this year build on top of lava flow once it cools since they owned the land below?
Yes, they still legally own the land even if it's covered by lava.
Kind of creepy knowing there is someone's house buried under there then just build over it.
very odd
sharon reeves If you think about it, there's really not a lot of places that someone hasn't lived or had their home, at one time or another.
I'd feel more uneasy to find out that my place was built on ancient burial ground or sacred lands.
As long as no one was still living in the house when the lava covered it, I wouldn't get a case of the hives.
Coming back to Kalapana. How long will it take to get real vegetation back?
I say a 100 years but there are so many variables
how close to seeds
if lava covers the land again
humans
Thanks.
Ngeri bro
For such remote living you need septic. How does that work for discharge fields on lava?
composting toilet?
cloudraker100 .i think it be such a pain in butt to live with those conditions, not easy. Maybe a few stoners for neighbors probably...
Shipping container home's would be the best way to go. 2,000.00 for a 40'
John Jones getting them delivered would interesting 🤞👍
I don't think I could live there. I dislike wind.
Yeah its not for me
That is what B.F.E Hawaii looks like.
Real off the grid living in Kalapana gardens! No electricity or water but...the price is right! Still wouldn't want to live there.
By the very nature of the video with property sales and no one buying, the truth is told!
Madam Pele surely doesn't like rebuilding over old roads and in the lava...she's given a very strong message NOT TO rebuild...like get off the land!
The entire Hawaiian island chain is a series of volcanoes that erupted from the ocean floor and the island building process will keep going on for millions of years..
Wind 💨 speed?
You lived in Kalapana Gardens, and now you live in Leilani Estates? Forget the lower east rift zone, the lava is just following YOU around!
Thats what I was thinking..........
How do you get the plants to grow back?
in a-a lava areas, you could dig out basins and plant into mixture of cinders and plant roughage (left-over pressed sugar cane) and hope the plant roots establish a ball-system before the material slowly falls down thru the crackage
And as you might have noticed, ferns are the first repopulation plants
@Gabe : How long after a lava event before plant life is completely back to normal. Thirty years is obviously not enough.
Depends on lava type. Ohia trees repopulate a-a lava in a few decades. Folks also drive dozers across a-a flows break and smooth it down. All the lava here is pahoihoi --much more solid
@ Thanks Hugh : Is 120 years a good guess for pahoihoi-lava ? Or will it take longer ?
weeds in a few years
big trees 30+ years
jungle 100+ years
depends how far the seeds have to travel and if lava just keeps flowing
Also significantly depends on rainfall rate. The Big Island (nearly 14,000 feet tall) significantly interrupts the Trade Winds. As they get pushed up the slopes to cooler altitudes, their moisture precipitates as rainfall. Up by Hilo, and farther north, that coast gets huge amount of rain. That area has dozens of waterfalls pouring over the cliffs into the sea. The Tradewinds-sheltered lee side (Kona side) gets relatively, very little rain --and is almost a desert (prickly pear cactus thrive there). Back to the South rift zone and its lava, the Puna coast kinda runs from northeast to southwest. And the local rainfall rate is high in the northeast and evenly diminishes the farther southwest one goes. Kalpana is much drier than the newly lava-engulfed area up by (former) Kapoho. And that, of course, affects the botanical regeneration rate
Can you find where your house was?
maybe I'll ask my mom what street we lived on
So every time the lava comes the land is sold to new buyers?
LOL no
if you own land that gets covered in 50' of lava well your land is now 50' higher
The owners still have legal title to property that's covered with lava. In fact, someone is now the proud owner of a new volcano at Fissure 8.
so if people lived there before, do the land rights go away just because of a lava flow? don't they still own that geographic location?
no you still own the land even if it gets covered by lava
I have a new channel on RUclips
There is know power there is there?
no electric lines, no piped water
You just answer my question
So, what happened to the property rights of the original residents? Are they the ones selling the land now? Or is their property deemed to be 'gone' and the land is being re-sold by the county/whoever?
The owners still have legal title to the land covered by lava. However, it's a good idea to have the GPS coordinates of your property line just in case another lava flow comes along.
price for the land ?
IDK now
a few years ago it was $5000-7000 for a 1/5 acre
Need to put up bird feeders everywhere to encourage naturally occurring seeding
Katie Bug ..with that wind?? He said too windy to get out for vid...very unappealing location, of course it’s cheap property even if a Hawaii address....;-)
Thanks for the look around, there is a landscape ready for restoration and it looks like some people have started. Casuarinas (iron-woods) are a good pioneer plant as they are nitrogen fixers, any quick growing legume would be worth a try, too. My garden started, 30 yrs ago, on a block of cereal cropping land that had been cleared for about a century, it is now a productive woodland (see facebook.com/ecological.sustainability/ for pictures and ideas) cheers
Looks like inmate housing
Nice video. I remember Kalapana long before it got wiped out and yes it was a nice place with its black sand beach and friendly people. But Gabe Please pronounce Kuh-luh-PAH-nuh properly please. Thanks!
I say it right
5:40
watdat
Be careful, you will break an axle,
So cheap.. I'm moving my family to Hawaii next year. Tired of our Hillbilly life.
are you sure?
Are we supposed to feel sorry for these people in 30 years if lava takes their house? More importantly how much of my money will they get in disaster relief?
your money??
FEMA money, taxes I pay. I don't know why government is allowing houses to be rebuilt on lava flows. They will get taken out again.
