kicking some bad ideas down the road

[BushMasterBoy]

Give up your guns, mandatory masking, vaccines, drive 8 miles and have to turn around, cause THE ISLAND ENDS!

You think it's a paradise. This last weekends garage sale. We met 4 couples from da islands. They seem to be leaving the state, faster than californians. How they went from lush greenery to the high desert, is still puzzling. BUT, none of them have anything nice to say about Hi. Especially when it comes to the tourist flooding the roadways, hotels and every spot in between.

Then again, there is no perfect place to live.

The fishing is unlimited. The land is cheap. The weather is damn near perfect. Way easier to survive there than Colorado. The big problem is the island is overrun with wild pigs! And all that merchandise that is imported is more expensive. Did I mention the pigs? Too bad Space Force doesn't have a base there!

They do

Edit: Okay, technically they don't yet.... but they operate several space missions from HI... which will become USSF locations very soon.

Wild pigs is a voluntary problem, especially once Pig Gone his the market.

If I was 20 years younger, I'd buy something like this. 10 acres and some shipping containers. It is a deceptive listing though as the seller really wants to sell 60 acres for a half a million. Watch out for scumbag realtors that try to scam you! They are just as bad as used car salesmen...

Off grid tiny home for the win.

The few times I have been to Hawaii the only wild beasts I saw were chickens and mongooses. But some coworkers did indicate that people did hunt
wild pig was near by the facility. Hawaii is one of the few places I think a connex container would work to live out of. I spent about a month there, half on the company dime.
I would have no problem living there, the weather is down right good. Going Island happy would not be an issue....but I don't like ocean fishing, I no longer have an active scuba license.
A funny thing was; way back when I had a job offer (in jest) to move to Ascension Island doing some hardware maintenance that I was not qualified for. Now that
place was small.

And for tiny houses; just say no...They have their place, but for me no thanks. The last year I have been pretty much living out of my basement in my house for work.
I have a bathroom, big room, utility room which covers most of my direct needs. So I figure I could live fine within 800 - 1000 square feet. Which is bigger than
most tiny homes. Now take that tiny house, put it in a big old garage/barn...then it can work out well.

I am not sure why I got spooked looking at land in Montana..maybe it is that big sky thing.

I know where there are a few 20 ac + lots in MT. Our daughter has one, as well as a few friends.

Google is my friend - at least for this tidbit of info
what is the average altitude in Wyoming...

Minimum elevation: 2,116 ft
Maximum elevation: 13,918 ft
Average elevation: 5,502 ft

And I was wondering most of my searches were hitting around 7k+


Neat -

and Montana
Elevation 3,400 ft (1,040 m)
Highest elevation (Granite Peak) 12,807 ft (3,903.5 m)
Lowest elevation (Kootenai River at Idaho border) 1,804 ft (557 m)

So Mr. Great Kazoo - just how high is that 20 acres in Montana....(funny answer: It is so high that it makes the 10k per acre look low.... )
note: no idea on cost; but it just sounded funny....I had been running 101 temp the last few days and stuff that sounds funny in my head often are not that funny.

Lincoln, MT has some interesting listings on the realtor site. I know of a guy that was metal detecting found a large gold nugget near there, 10 years ago.
