We garden, seed save, raise meat rabbits, raise chickens, process our own meat, save our own seed, can, bake, and do just about everything that we can ourselves to achieve a self sufficient and debt free life for our family.

​@@Free Thinker He answered it in a very short manner, but yes he answered it. As a LEO of 29 years in CA, recently retired and RAN to my beautiful new state of Montana, sheeple don't see the day to day atrocities that mankind inflicts upon one another. As we continue to brutally overpopulate the world (google it), last vestiges of beauty, freedoms, etc are becoming sparser. As a gang unit supervisor for many years, I can tell you, we had many gang members running dope to ID, UT, CO, WY, MT, OR and WA for the cartel. The wolves are everywhere. The sheeple are numerous and there aren't that many sheepdogs. You should be grateful you have a new sheepdog in your state. I had 15 fellow LEOs retire last summer, 14 moved immediately from N. CA and 6 landed in ID, be grateful for them too. I went to high school in a remote rural town in N. CA where we waved at each other in vehicles, everybody had integrity and morals, and were just wholesome good people. ID, MT, UT, CO have these people and they outnumber the wolves. I wake up GRATEFUL for my new life amongst good human beings and love being out amidst them. People smile and use turn signals, it's crazy.... but, again, there are many many reasons why I also never go without 9mm Shield when in the embrace of good humanity, not only for my protection, for theirs too. I won't let somebody from in or out of state walk into a restaurant, Wal-Mart, wherever and take 5-30 lives including my own if I can help it with my training and experiences. If that doesn't help give you a better understanding, just start googling some of the things I mentioned :^) be well.

@Free Thinker did you ever consider that it is safer because most people there carry a firearm? Also as a off the cuff comparison, I rarely clog up my toilet, but I still own a plunger. Fact is that people there are great and nice and genuinely like people, but it only takes one person to be a violent asshole to make you wish you were armed.

There's only 8 million people here the state isn't really that rich by any stretch of the imagination the biggest city is Lou evil and regrettably the Democrats have made the entire city a cesspool. I don't think there's any place that's perfect but I understand I'll ask is awesome I think you guys are very fortunate to live there. Best regards from Kentucky.

Lots of out of state people come into Idaho complaining about how much their state sucks but then turn around and try to change Idaho's people and culture to be more like the state they came from. Although we Idahoans absolutely hate it when people move here, it does truly seem like they like Idaho the way it is and don't want to change it! Thank you all so much for having that mind set, as a born and raised Idahoan it means so much to us for y'all to be as willing to adapt to the culture as you are! Just hope y'all are ready for -30 degree winters that tend to last from early November to late March or April 😂

When people move here to make profit off development... and more development..is when you'll anger us Idahoans. Idaho is an agriculture and wild preserving state. Filled with people who appreciate the coexistence of nature and people. So many people are moving to Idaho, spacifically Boise, to change it.. not appreciate it. We are now the #1 state and city to move to right now and I can say that most moving to Boise are not pro wilderness they are pro profit. Protective over or wild and never ashamed is a true Idahoan.. welcome to Idaho!! I agree 100% that we need people coming here to love it, and contribute to the way it is, to make it better .. welcome to Idaho🥰

... I’m so torn about this. I’ve been in Idaho for 7 years. Came up from Arizona and, as I always say Idaho is the snowy version of AZ. However things are changing rapidly here and it is not what it used to be. Californians by the droves our moving here and everything from costs of living to traffic has become more California by the month. Even worse is the politics they’re bringing. There’s people call the cops becausetheir neighbor's lawn was not to their standard and their quote to the police was “ Not California enough” It’s aggravating since I moved here but I’ve done not one thing to change this place it was perfect 5 years ago. It’s fantastic that you’ve got a 20 acre plot so you don’t get that crap from idiots but many of the locals in my area are essentially stuck because of what has happened to the pricing in housing and land😕

I pretty much used all the same reasoning you did to figure out where I want to go. I did pick a different state though. Now I need that book to see where it’s ranking. I’m sure the book is trending on amazon right now. Can’t wait to leave cozy NYC. Hopefully finding a good lady like you have as well. When your property is ready to go on the market, make a video tour of it. People love it. There is a real estate guy here on KZfaq with such videos. Mooers Realty - based in Maine, use it for inspiration. Anyway, I’m kinda excited to watch you move. Good times ahead.

Now that our kids are grown we are looking at our options, and it hard to beat what we see around us. We will be leaving the Boise area as it has grown in a direction neither of us agree with. North Idaho is our first choice. Miss the Minnestoa fishing, but someone needs to nuke the twin cities, dont cha know!

And as long as those moving here are coming for the freedom and not to "Turn Idaho Purple" then I welcome you.

Mrs. Emerson as a conservative Christian ourselves I would say that you should be well received. For decades idaho has been a conservative state. Of course the past several years we have become more diverse. I don’t see idaho as anything near the politics of western Oregon and Washington. I have lived my entire life in southern idaho. Visited northern idaho a bit and central quite a bit. I think the general vibe is laid back and community minded. Look out for each other and treat each other well.

I laughed out loud when I saw that my home state California is a one-star state. Of course, living here, I'm not surprised at all. I'm interested in seeing how you adapt to doing things in Idaho. One of the primary things that I'm interested in seeing is how you work with the shorter growing season. As far as I know, Idaho is a fantastic state for hunting and probably fishing too. I'm not sure how anybody could see the videos of the area surrounding your property and still wonder why you made that choice. Count my vote for a hydrangea video too! Especially how you care for them to maintain their blue color. Last, that clock is freaking awesome!! I will need to find me a cable spool and make one of my own!

Deborah Ryan they may be fleeing policies which are destroying their state, but there seems to be some sort of cognitive dissonance which prohibits them from recognizing it’s the politicians THEY vote for which enact these policies. Often times people can’t recognize or name but a few of these policies. When they get to the next state, guns WIIL still be scary and social programs NEED to be expanded to help whatever victim class. Without realizing it (or maybe they do) they will be voting in the same policies and politicians These things are always disguised by altruism and good intentions, but they will lead to the same end result. Sorry, don’t mean to get so political but I guess freedom vs more laws is the crux of the political debate... Anyway, Idaho sure looks beautiful. Love the videos!

Congrats on your choice to move to Idaho...I currently live in Texas and have lived here for almost 40 years except from 20-25 I lived in San Diego. I am saddened that there seems to be some mass exodus from CA and some are headed to TX and they are bringing their far left values with them. I pray the good folks of TX remain true to what keeps our state free and strong.

Does Idaho still have hanging as the sentence for stealing horses on the books? That's what worries me. What if I leave a saloon one night and can't get a carriage or get on the wrong horse to get home. Can I still be hung by the neck until dead? I really hate when that happens.

I felt the same way, when I used to live in Southern California and Northern California before I moved to a rural area of Alabama. Theres some downsides to being in Alabama but with that said, the pros of Alabama outweigh everything of California for me anyway. One great upside is about Alabama is I can open carry and conceal carry and I was limited to open carry in California only when I was in uniform. Here in Alabama I perfer both styles of carrying and I dont care if it offends people especially if I open carry. I love the humidity here and I love it how it rains all year round with exception to tornadoes but again the pros outweigh the cons here in Alabama

Oh Lordy! Y'all had me cracking up so hard and loud my husband turned around and looked at me like I had two heads. I had to pause to tell him Melissa is being funny. That was at the moment you crunched the tater chip. LOL And yes, I say tater not potato. 🤣 I get folks' curiosity about why y'all would choose to go where it is colder and snowier, but honestly they should be nice about their curiosity. I already figured being a homeschool family that one of the reason y'all would choose Idaho would be for that alone. It's one of the reasons folks choose Missouri as well. But, honestly, it's none of my business why y'all chose Idaho beyond what ya wanna share. I think it's great your kids will be exposed to the harshness of winter. First hand knowledge of how to survive the brutal snowy cold is invaluable and y'all will have so many teaching opportunities in Idaho that will make sense in the setting available in that geographical location. One example is fire starting without a lighter. Go ahead, teach that lesson in the winter while it is raining. Yep, that lesson will make sense, right? (**sarcasm**) I know. I learned both ways and I couldn't care less when it was just cold and raining. I cared more about getting out of the rain which is the time to teach shelter building by the way, just sayin'. However, when you teach fire starting in the cold and snow there is more eagerness to learn and the pay off of getting warm makes the lesson stick. I could go on and on here, but I won't. Hopefully anyone who reads this comment will realize the value of the location y'all have chosen. Plus, I am so excited for your whole family! Ha ha ha. I saw the outtakes and came over so fast I'm here first. LOL
