I was displaced from portland last year due to southern californians, I found a place way up in the woods at a more than affordable price. Within one year the owners of the property got the greed disease and because “their friends told them they could get more money” and “they saw houses selling in town for over .5mil” I now have a more than 50% rent increase. I have a great job and run my own business part time, I’m going to have to run from here soon too unfortunately…..

@@drue6360 This is where Im trying to come from...I'm in Portland, born n raised. It fell straight down the shitter. Trying to get outta here. Would you suggest somewhere better? I thought missoula sounded nice.

@@denefbla I don’t have any answers. It’s still possible to eek out a living here, def more than portland, but this won’t last much longer. If you can work remotely, you’re going to have to live in one of those towns you drive by on a backcountry highway where you blink and you’ve passed through. Those two or three building towns where it looks like meth came in and ravaged it in a matter of days, those types of places are our only option at this point. Be ready to make 2hour trips to get stocked up on food and fuel, if you’re ever hurt you won’t be able to get help, this is the preapocalyptic world we live in.

@@drue6360 The entire northwest will be unaffordable for anyone but the rich in 2 years. Best to move to areas where people are not. Start your own areas. Middle of nowhere in Montana is dirt cheap and can be turned into a good community.

@@JesusChrist2000BC already there, already doing it. Started my own business and it’s fuckin BOOMIN

Think Pigeon Forge without the crazy tourist traps.

@@yourmom9758 exactly lol

Wait til u see how beautiful

I went from a university up to Montana as well for graduate school. I went to Montana State. Great School but there were a few shitheads there and they weren't for Montana either but from places like Michigan Minnesota and Oregon. Other than that I love the place

@@tvtvvtvt8017wdym shitheads? Like racists? Or just bad people?

@Katherine H oh yes, I ve never really heard anyone regret moving here, you will love it. Thank you for your service

@@ariel6505 I'm trying to get the hell out of Portland. I'm stuck here to fulfill a contract until October of 2022. I'm very excited to leave Portland in the dust. This city used to be very pretty and now its really gross.

@@ariel6505 *is it safe for a colored person to live? Because it is beautiful,I just don't want to live in a place where you get a lot of stare.*

@@princetigerbeatz9316 of course it is

@@ariel6505 Cool, because certain places in Idaho was weird.

I'm also looking for an out of the ways place like this to move to. Get a house with acreage and park my truck right in the driveway. Ah, man its good to dream. Republican from socal btw.

I like to visit

Same here from the Maid series , I am from Germany 😍

Me too from Maid series, Italy

Canada is better but any northern border town is better than nothing.

Missoula is a great place to visit. Late August through September are particularly nice, if the forest fire season has been mild. Otherwise, late April to early June is good as well. Lots of local sites and attractions not mentioned in the video. You can do a couple days in Missoula and do an easy weekend trip to Glacier Park as well, which is very worth it.

How do you go back to the snow after Thailand?!

@@charlottaw599 i get use to it. Even i use to live in McCall Idaho for couple years and after that work in Williston ND. for other 3 1/2 years. I love snow.😂👍

@@chaitea6829 I want to move from LA so badly! Lived in Sweden 1/2 my life then here. California is still such a beautiful state with the most diverse landscape but well, you know…

Do you have any video on Montana during winter?

Alberta is kind of its own thing. Kind of the Wyoming of Canada, even if your experience is coming from Montana. I'm sure you don't need another American to tell you that life is different if you were living in BC or Ontario.

@@javyjavyjavyjavy I've heard that... But most Canadians in general do not like Americans. I don't think most Americans do not like Canadians. Although, I now know how the Mexicans feel. Honestly, here, I think most the atmosphere is due to the different cultures coming in. I hear the East coast people are a little bit different in Canada but I met one lady and I thought she was really sweet. I hear Quebec is French and most French people do not even like the other Canadians and in fact I hear at least the buzzword is that they don't like anybody coming into Quebec that's not a French Canadian. Well my parents sold their home in Duvall Washington to a Quebec couple that was having a baby and they were actually offered a lot more money from a single guy who really wanted it but my parents took under their asking price for a family to come into the neighborhood so they said yes to the Quebec family. I don't know they were really nice to us. but I've heard a lot of different people even different people I've met strangers going back to the states that have traveled through or vacation through Canada and I haven't met anybody that was happy with BC either and it's interesting cuz I've never had a issue with anyone from BC I think that they're really friendly. But I guess even people from BC can't stand the US people. Would you happen to be a dual citizen by any chance?

Stay there, we don't want you back

You mean native Montana as in indigenous Native Americans and not Anglo Americans right? Unless you’re NA then you’re just as an immigrant as the Californians as well.

@@aether4554 - Amen!

@@aether4554 No. I think he means, people from Montana who lived there before trash Californians from San Fransisco migrated across the country to every nice place they could find to avoid fixing their communist hellhole of a state. That they destroyed and refuse to fix or acknowledge. And then pseudo their way out of constructive self analysis by embuing themselves with a Native American likeness. As if there is any similarity, whatsoever. Natives respect the land. Californians trash it. Which is why every National Park in the state now requires permitting, and people can't even go visit yellow poppy fields. Then they cry "THATS NOT ALL OF US". Yes. Yes it is. These people destroyed Bend Oregon too. And Colorado. And Texas. And Arizona. And basically everything they touch. Because they're an incognizant disease of state programmed social media junkies and tech addicts who have a disconnect with themselves and everything around them.

Oh no you have not seen the poverello

​@@riesenratte3480Compared to Los Angeles county where l live, Missoula is way cleaner and well organized.

Great little spot to eat.

I almost Laughed out loud when he said that ... Obviously he did not go inside. @BrandonGange yes a great eating place

Had to search the comments before replying, that was funny! For OP, the Oxford is a historic saloon that leans into preserving that history. More old west than old Westminster.

I have two channels

That's really sad :(

Very true!!

if you wouldnt move there you don't "absolutely love it", you kind of liked it.

@@michaelhuang0417 aw, I love it! However, I respect the locals and hate to see the growth of such a beautiful state and don't want to be a part of the growth. I travel across country to MT at least once per year, and will leave it that way. I'll just keep giving MT FWS and the locals my money every year. 😉

Eyy we're closed

Stay where your at

Montana is a great place to visit. I take a yearly trip to MT to elk hunt for many years and love it. Saying that to suggest, visit MT and enjoy it, but I wouldn't move there.

Don’t move to Montana .. it’s crowded enough…. Try North Dakota

@@jeffkuykendall3189 Now I'm definitely moving to Montana just for you. Thanks for the tip. And lucky for you I'm a "crazy socialist".

dude im in illinois too wanting out. i would love to montana been wanting to move there or colorado for years.. just have to get a job out there first

@@blakeantos1301 Colorado is garbage now. There are pockets of the city to get away but it’s few and far between.

never seen it? Dang. I hope you can get up there and see your land its like America's Switzerland up there.

It's a mess, that's for sure!

A beautiful city. Are there good job opportunities and nutrition?

Scary thought.

Why do you say this? We're moving out of Oregon for obvious reasons and Missoula is high on our list. I don't want to be anywhere that resembles Portland in any way.

@@andrewnelson3683 Dont move to Missoula, Bozeman, or Billings then. All of southern Montana is flooded with California and Portland hipsters taking over.

Key west is fun

@@IslandHopperTV awesome what about your favorite mountain town?

@@jeffyeah4256 Jackson Wyoming and the surrounding area. I will keep exploring ask me again in a year.

@@IslandHopperTV what about mexico? favorite town over there

@@IslandHopperTV Jackson is super expensive;;;that's where billionaires have their 2nd homes..but the pics and videos of the place don't lie...stunning

We don't mind people from AZ at all ;)

@@MrBodoFraggins But folks from So, Cal?

@@royking7298 they might receive a less warm welcome from some, but overall, Missoula is very friendly.

What about people from Seattle?

@@dude4173 Sure. All good.
