      If I lived out there I'd make my own bread and as far as milk goes I'd buy like 10 gallons and put them into deep freezer and maybe just use some powdered milk when needed cuz they do make powdered whole milk my biggest question would be what would I do for a job I'm already a country girl and I live in northern Michigan so I know I can handle cold and I've been to Montana in August and had water freeze on us so I know that Montana is going to be quite cold

I was just there last month to get a feel for the area and the people were absolutely freindly helpful. I understand why locals speak so highly of the state and also why they don't want people coming there trying to change things ect..I'm moving there for the lifestyle and nature and freindly people. I've lived in many places including Maine so I know what cold weather is like. Excited to leave Spain and get back on American soil. Great video!

    I was pretty surprised to hear you guys were moving from Charlotte. I stumbled across this video because I was researching different things about Bozeman, Billings, Kalispell, and Missoula. I'm an army veteran moving to MT from Charlotte for similar reasons, and also because I'm trying to get on with the Montana Conservation Corps and some of those are their home base cities. After getting out of the military, moving from Fayetteville to Charlotte, and trying out different things I realized that I needed a change. It's very motivating to hear that you all have found a good life out there. Hopefully my pup and I can do the same.

    I am an old man who has always done what he wanted, working 16-20 hours a day and loving every minute of it. My wife and I managed to hold double careers for the entire of our 51 years together. She in Special Education, me in Vocational Rehabilitation, WE IN HORSE BRÈEDING/SHOWING, PERFORMANCE. In the woods of North Florida we carved out a place for a house, barn, fence, multiple deep wells and quickly clearing acres of dense pines and woods and taking our retirement money to do it. We did not wait to retire to have our dream. Now I'm retired and playing with my chickens 🐔.. all that was EVER missing from our dream was MONTANA! Sadly I am not able to deal with snow at my age. We did get a ranch sitter on our 40th anniversary to allow us to go out to Colorado, the Sangre de Cristo mountains, to ride, chase cows, sleep on the ground and cook in a pit for 10 days. The snow was just melting, the wind was Cr a zy fast, the wildlife always showed up at the most inopportune times on the steepest slopes with the narrowest trails so i got a lesson in reality . In my mind I'm going to MONTANA but only in my next life. I'll have to live it vicariously thru YOU! Love your videos too much! Your early midlife videos are 50 years too late for us. I'll have to watch your CZcams videos and imagine what it would be like without my walker and canes.

    Hi. While I'm not a fan of winter (Toronto, Canada most of my life), I am such a big fan of peaceful, close to nature, quiet living. So much so that I'd consider changing countries and move to Montana - once I am in reasonable financial shape. I'm admittedly nervous about winter driving, but I'll get that sorted out some how. Have a blessed day. I'm happy for you having found your home base of tranquility and joy. 🙏🏽

    Great video and your commentary is spot on! I live in Hot Springs, Montana. I arrived in Montana on April 1, 2017, and am still in awe of the never ending panorama of natural wonders. I empathize with you about your feelings in regards to the scenic beauty, the peace and serenity imbued in Big Sky country and the warmth and affability of the locals. My sister is interested in moving here and I sent her a link to this video. I pray you and your family continue to thrive in this most beautiful of states. I hope you visit Glacier NP soon. It is Montana on steroids. The best time is a week or two before the fourth of July. It is less crowded, warm, green and all the waterfalls are still flowing with the winter runoff. You are also fortunate enough to live just a few hours from Yellowstone NP, as well! Bozeman is awesome...although a bit nippy in the winter.

      Natives of any state don't appreciate a rapid influx of out-of-state'ers who come in and try to change things, but it's also a poke in the eye for natives of a state when others come in and buy up all the land and houses, especially as "investments" and they do nothing with it. For example in Texas we're frustrated because the Californians bought up all the good land/houses, and inflated our economy because they shot straight up to upper middle class after the move. Natives can't afford houses and land like they used to, especially in areas like Austin and Dallas, which is where most of the CA refugees flocked to.
      Same thing is happening in Idaho, Colorado, Washington, Oregon.

      @@Jordan-vf4up Well I never claimed that people "are, or are not, allowed" to do anything. I explained a situation, because you seemed to lack understanding of what I'm talking about, and still do. Believe it or not states consider those born in the state and continue to live in them as "natives". Not literally the PC term for Native American. I get the sense I'm beating a dead horse.
      Capitalism is also not to blame for whats happening in CA. Trust me. That's a whole other train wreck of a topic.
      If suburban Californian's are anything like you right now I'm not impressed. Y'all can stay over there! LOL.

      @@spectacu_lar Larsen, you picked the most expensive part of the state to live in, or shall I say, survive in. Bozeman is falling off the charts in costs. Other cities are more tolerable. And yes, while job pay isn't the highest, Montana is the only place to be if you are of working age. We are a non right to work and non free will state, the ONLY state in the union actually, so employee protections are strong and fair. And I think people are willing to work two jobs just to stay here.
      I am a Montana native who has tried other places and always came back. There is a sense of safety and security being here, and will stay.
      But back to you, I hope you're doing okay, getting through the growth and changes happening around in the Boz Angeles area.

    Hi Larsen I just turned 20 years old living in Alabama. I just went through my first break up and I don’t really feel happy where I live. I thought about wanting a fresh start when I turn 21 next year by moving out of my parents house and starting a new life by myself in a new state. I really believe that I want to move to Montana next year because I’ve always thought about living in the northwestern states like Alaska Montana Idaho all those states. I got a good amount of money that I’m saving right now. And I’m working on self improving my body by exercising and healthy eating. The only thing I’m worried about is the smaller population there. I’m nervous about moving there by myself and not being able to make friends and eventually finding love again even if I’m nice to people. It sounds a little dumb but it’s the one thing that actually pops up in my head a lot.

    I wanna move somewhere where I can own some cheap land and build a tiny house. Considering western montana though. Whitefish or some small town near it. Is it hard getting used to having to drive so far to get to places, even the grocery store? Are the winters tough? are you preparing for the HARSH winters with supplies in your car or house in case you get stuck in a blizzard for a few days? Learning to deal with the winter, as I grew up in Southern Califorina, is my biggest fear.

I thrive to be a land owner someday or live on a big piece of property with my family. Growing up in California in a rich community is rough. When your family was just getting by with not much to leave me once I was old enough to move out. And I was an only child! California has a TON of rude people and I've had it. I like nice people and quiet spaces. Nature makes me happy too. I want my family to grow up in a beautiful land. Where people are respectful and nice. Thank you for sharing! I hope to make the leap and join the Montana community someday! I've been saying I'd like to live there ever since I was a young teen. Cheers!

    I don't see why people would think you're crazy for living in Montana - I would think they are. Like are they blind? 😂 I currently live in Philadelphia. I've been living there for 5 years now and I am so over it, I never really enjoyed it. I worked pretty much 3-4 years in Center City, took trains, walked everywhere, dealt with crowds, nasty people, etc. I appreciate the experience and the lessons but I need a new environment. I recently took a road trip to Bar Harbor, Maine for the first time and fell in love. There was nature everywhere you looked! You could hear the forest talking, you could smell the fresh air, you could hear your own thoughts, people were happy and nice, lol. I initially wanted to move to either Seattle or Portland, Oregon but seeing how those cities have been behaving lately I have opted out. I don't want to leave one intense city for another. I'm looking at west Montana for nature and quietness but also because it is so close to Canada, Seattle, and Oregon - all places I want to see. I really need a quiet environment for once.
