Good video Sam. We had the Carbon County Motor Grader staged at our place at Bridger most every winter. Made it handy for us.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Every state has everything you do not want. That is the way MN is. Where I live and almost anywhere outside of the twin cities is great. But then they go and elect a fughin liberal muslim khungt and you're embarrassed to live here...

We are in Montana several times most years and have always been treated very well. We have found that not asking everyone you meet where the joos and darkies are and leaving a tip is key.

mike r I worked for many years as a Realtor in Wyoming, you would be amazed how many times that question got asked, or one very similar.

Montana people are friendly to those who are friendly to them. Yes, it gets cold during the winter and lots of snow. Get use to it! Put on the snowshoes, fire up the snow mobile and track wolves and coyotes. At the end of the day have another cup of coffee or a brew and set by the fire and enjoy.
Seems this thread has jumped the tracks. MTG

Seems this thread has jumped the tracks. MTG the old rule of thumb about Montana, "cold country, warm people" people in MT have always treated me and my family right. We expect to do the same when we meet them here.

The more I hear from the guys that actually live in Montana, the more I’m sold on it.

Fubar....I would definitely want to be your neighbor. I would love you to try and hate me being from Oregon. Bet you wouldn’t after we had too many beers, solved the worlds problems and explored each other gun wares. I don’t have a boat....But you do. Grin 😎 Beav, for an Orgonian you are a good dude and would be welcome at my camp anytime. As far as the beer and boat ya got that covered...... my new toy.... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/vB1kB1m0/DSCF0208.jpg) Be carful, irfubar has a known association with the ever aggrandizing DF (deflave)...

Be carful, irfubar has a known association with the ever aggrandizing DF (deflave)... Deflave , my campfire life coach, beer drinking buddy and so called friend shows up at my house drinks all my beer, goes home wont answer my calls then I find out through the campfire he has moved to Florida and became a socialist........ So I have decided my new life C.F. life coach is Big Stick..... He told me I was a drooling dumb phuuk and get off yo couch..... I know Stick likes knives so I decide I need knives, I cant afford ingram knives on my $600 mo. disability check so I decided to befriend Gruff ( he has a forge) so I pulled the leaf springs out of mt truck and am strapping on my snow shoes to head up to the arctic to the Gruff outpost/homestead and forge me some knives..... At least I dont have influenza (only cabin fever) so there is a chance will survive out here on the frontier...... hunter4623: this is an excellent example of the improvising you will need to perform, if you decide to move to Montana. Aside, from losing good drinking buddies to a state where pink flamingos are considered family. You will need the skills to render sheet metal from the sides of your new boat to repair your roof should it spring a water leak. Can you do that? Can you then cut a 10 ply BF Goodrich tire into sections, using sheet metal screws, attach the tire rubber to your boat where you harvested it’s sheet metal? All this done the night before the opener of fishing season... Bonus points for doing it drunk. Think you’re ready for Montana...😎

Hunter2623: Indeed mine and the VarmintWife's decision to move from the liberal, over-taxed, high stress, hell hole (where we were both born and raised and lived ALL our lives!) was the single BEST decision we have ever made in our lives!
We have been here 21 years now and bask in the friendly people, low stress, clean air and upbeat lifestyle that is so abundant here.
Sunny and 10 degrees here right now (at 3:00 P.M.) with 12 Mule Deer (including 4 small Bucks) in our back yard, 3 Whitetail Does in our front yard and 600 -800 Canada Geese and 400 - 500 Mallards in the field adjacent to our home!
I am absolutely certain deciding to move here 22 years ago and then DOING so, has added years to my previously fully stressed life!
I know my blood pressure that was "borderline" is now very healthful.
YOU only live once!
Hold into the wind

The most important thing to do while living in Montana is to keep the driveway plowed so the UPS/Fedex truck can deliver provisions..... Oh and keep enough booze in the pantry in case of blizzards...

We got a pretty good little snow yesterday!
Enough to make chores a PIA this morning. Off road pickup travel is getting pretty sketchy.
Get home and the driveway and sidewalk were clear. I need to buy the neighbors some beer.......

I’m not much of a drinker but i am a certified redneck engineer. I have a well rounded skill set in construction, electrical, plumbing, welding, concrete work. Built a few houses. Remodeled a few more. Log home construction is new to me (beyond researching it) and I’m looking forward to learning the ins and outs. I’ve done some sawmill work and that’s on the purchase list. A backyard range would be great. It’s one of the reasons I don’t want neighbors. I don’t want to bother anyone with my shooting. Up until a couple years ago I was shooting around 25,000 rounds a year. Luckily I wasn’t paying for the Ammo. Most of my shooting will be rimfire but I still don’t want to annoy anyone.
