One danger I forgot to mention is our freedom loving patriots. They are incredibly dangerous to people that would like to take your freedoms from you and are probably on a list somehwere. 😉
I live next door in Western WA and I'm very aware of everything on the list and I will be one of those freedom loving people once again when I move there.
@monaohl6971 Basically, people who want to be left alone are sick of other's moving into their states and destroying them with garbage, building mass amounts of housing and Starbucks, and bringing their political views that they ran from in the last state they were in.
Another excellent video, Brent. Education is the key to intelligent choices, and this video should be viewed by anyone living in Idaho, or any other environment with similar weather patterns. The advice on Vitamin D, and its connection with mental health is very important. Mold is another one many might not think about. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this. It can be nothing but helpful for those that view it.
Native Locals, I would say they are your biggest threat. Them and realtors that keep trying to attract people here. Different kind of danger, but dangerous all the same. Grandstaff is actually one of the good ones, but apparently it’s cool to be a realtor now. I understand why people would want to come here. But the rich that cherry pick the best months, driving up housing costs, then leaving back to their Palm Springs home in the winter need to stop. L
i did this with my wife in a suv going down a mountain road in Montana near Idaho in march to a lake the snow pack became more and more so i started to back down i went to far to one side ,and we got stunk in deep snow we were stuck after hours of trying to get out using sticks to shovel snow we knew we needed help no cell service no anyone around? we first got stuck about 2 pm. we had water,and snacks,and gas to run the car for heat every hour, so we spent the nite there i remember the advice to stay with your car. the next morning we started to try and walk to the hwy we went about a half mile to find10 Snowmobiliers unloading off trailers for there last ride of the season we told them our problem they raced up the hill pulled there shovels and work like military men to help us i remember they had us out in about 5 mins hats of to those guys/ no more snow mountain drives with no cell service and not being ready for a bad out come. if there is snow there will be more bad deep snow you dont know is there:) i dont remember a time i was so helpless?and the thought was i knew this was a area they were relocating Grizzly bears.

Economy-wise north Idaho has a very poor, but highly educated and capable, population. But the difference in wilderness style quality of life is a blessing if you can afford to survive four months of deep snow.
There’s been some people claiming Luke’s disease has spread out our way but no substantial evidence to prove it. So even though ticks are nasty they aren’t something to be really afraid of.
Thank you for this, we knew about most even radon, knew we have to mitigate radon but didn’t know how or cost. But now I know and that’s very very new information not to eat fish out of Alane
I was trying to guess ahead of time and was surprised I only got a few on your list. Great list! I was wondering if thin ice is a big safety issue locally. I watched ice fishermen on Lake Cocolalla last year and wondered how they knew when it's safe to go out on the lake. Thanks!
Great question, of course thin ice is always a concern, it’s not a source of many news stories. Do your research and learn how to spot the signs of dangerous conditions and you should do just fine. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I agree with others here. This was very well done. I have a question about VISITING Idaho... I'm planning to ride thru parts of Idaho on a bicycle this summer, mostly on rail trails. Is the wildlife a big concern on those trails? My biggest fear is grizzly bears. A distant second is mountain lions.
I live in Idaho and we haven't had problem with either, but as you get into remote areas it is quite possible. Also, remember ALL wildlife go out to eat around sunset so if you are out at that time, then you're on your own.
There's much more to the mold issue than what you mentioned in this video. This is a water damage issue. As someone who has dealt with water damage issues on a professional level, I generally recommend following the IICRC S500 and IICRC S520 Guidelines for water damage remediation of building materials. To do this properly building materials must be removed 12" to 24" past the water damage. The area should be cleaned an disinfected and then the building materials should be replaced with clean new building materials after the area is completely dry. Test kits are a waste of time and money. If you see water damage of building materials that has been there for longer than 48 hrs when clean water is involved and any time contaminated water is involved, there will be mold even when you can't see it, you fix the water intrusion and then start remediation. Each situation is different, so it's often best to consult a pro when there's extensive water damage. You may also have a situation where there is asbestos and/or lead paint in the building materials, so you don't want to unwittingly disturb these materials without proper controls. Before removing any building material, you must verify that there are no asbestos and lead hazards involved in the work. Again, I recommend checking with a reputable consultant to help you identify these hazards and develop an appropriate safe work plan to deal with them.
The water almost got me last summer. I had no idea that I was coming down with COVID. I went to a beach on lake Pend Oreille, walked out on a sandbar with friends. My wife had a float device and gave it to me before she went back to the sand. I grabbed the float, didn’t realize I had drifted off of the sandbar. I sunk much deeper that I thought, I also didn’t realize there is a small currant in the lake. Not knowing I was coming down with COVID, I didn’t have the energy to swim to shore about thirty yards. I have never had a problem swimming before. Having grown up on the beaches down south, I have always been a strong swimmer. I was in trouble and had a hard time getting help. It took three people (one at a time) to get me on the shore. I coughed for a solid fifteen minutes before I could stop. The next day I came down with COVID. Taught me a lesson. Expect a current in the lake….
Good video. Thanks for your honesty. People need to move there with there eyes wide open, but having said that, there's no area without some kind of negatives. It boils down to what we could live with. We've been researching the area for the past 8 years or so and are aware of all of the issues you've presented. You mentioned the bottom of the lake being contaminated with heavy metals and that unless you eat the fish there wouldn't be a problem. Do you know if the same applies to the Spokane River? I'm amazed that there's almost no information out there. I saw one article that mentions a concern all the way down to the Columbia River, but hard to know if it's fear mongering or based on facts.
Like most western states we get some big wildlife on the roads at night especially winter time. Wildfires have been very common these days and hazardous air conditions has been known to last for weeks.
A danger to the loudmouth liberals anyhow. I've just started laughing at the dumbasses that make snide, ignorant comments about me carrying my sidearm. I tell them if they are offended by it they should just move because most real locals and native idahoans carry daily
I've been looking and like the northern area but haven't decided where yet. I'm going to coming up near Rathburn area next. But where ever i decide to go it has to be mostly Republican unfortunately I'm in the communist state of WA. Soi really want out. My question to you Is how close to hospitals are in this area. I'm dissabled and need to be seen from time to time.
Rivers. Rivers. Rivers. They kill the most confident swimmers 💔 I grew up in Hawaii surfing everyday. Absolutely fearless in the ocean. But rivers are different. They look so peaceful but are extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Be safe people.
I take exception to your comments.....we are NOT NAZI's. Your comment is insulting and many of us in Idaho would appreciate you keeping your negativity wherever you live.

Preach on brother!!!!
Excellent video and great information! Many of these had not even crossed my mind.
Well thank you for watching and commenting @robertA869
You forgot fires from lightening storms in the summer up in the mountains. Also if youre camping and see a black bear in a tree, dont approach it.
Common man what about ( Big Foot) LOL
He's definitely there !

I was thinking about the danger of tics while hiking or hunting.
There’s been some people claiming Luke’s disease has spread out our way but no substantial evidence to prove it. So even though ticks are nasty they aren’t something to be really afraid of.
What about Lyme disease being spread by tics? Do tics in Idaho carry Lyme disease? @@LivingLifeNorthIdaho
@@audiophileman7047 possible, but it pays to keep the appropriate clothing on if you are in the woods
They say to never say never, but, I will NEVER move back!!!!!
Why'd you move?

But cL2 will get rid of it….

The radon, mold and heavy metals is probably good to check in most places!
You can remediate black mold after cleaning, then encapsulate with killz 2 paint.
Augressive driving! Our roads do not cover heavy traffic, our wildlife have their homes here, please slow down and respect it!❤
Like most western states we get some big wildlife on the roads at night especially winter time. Wildfires have been very common these days and hazardous air conditions has been known to last for weeks.
Thx. Good info
We take vitamin D3 every day. We have critters coming down the mountain every day…… we leave them alone………
Will you please do a video on pros and cons of moving from Spokane county to (Post Falls) Idaho? Thanks ❤

My question to you
Is how close to hospitals are in this area. I'm dissabled and need to be seen from time to time.
If you are in Kootenai county hospitals are within 20-30 minutes. Things are spread out but overall pretty close. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good luck, I hope you make it to Idaho.
