I've lived in Bozeman over 40 years. I hate what has happened to this town. I hardly ever go downtown because it is so crowded and expensive. My kids can''t hope to own a house even outside of town. When my sister came to visit I was shocked to learn that just a generic hotel room was $300 a night. So what I am saying is that Bozeman is a great place to visit if you are rich. So sad.

Hi what is recommended to do during the winter months? I am visiting end of January? Any recommendations? or yellowstone yours?

please drop a link to the GPS tool thing you mentioned when it comes to getting stranded. ahhhhhhh

Average home price is 900k 😂 TOO much cheap construction going on in this country taking up space and killing wild life to make more concrete jungle 🤬

What is the name of the transponder for an sos device that you recommended

Thank you so much for the information. I'm moving to Bozeman this year.b

Hi!! I’m a solo older traveler and Montana has always been on my bucket list! It it to strenuous for a daily experienced solo traveler. Any advice please?!!!

Hope you have deep pockets if you want to be free in Montana on your own property. Freedom isn’t free or affordable for the average person here.

You did such a great job on this video. Congrats on the production.

This is just basic stuff for any state. Every state has unique things. Montana isn’t any different. Not sure why this is anything special. Arkansas is different than Utah which is different than South Carolina.

If you are looking for affordable housing they have starter homes at 800k.

You indicated I90 as Having an Eastern end in NY. I90 runs from Seattle to Boston.

This video is great and really gives a good perspective to someone moving to Bozeman. I had a job offer in Bozeman and I’m glad I visited in person. I couldn’t find a place that would take our pets (1 GSD + 2 cats), even taking affordability out of context. This place is not worth the hype, it’s beautiful and everything, but the housing situation makes even a 100K salary not attractive. If you like the place, go there a week every year and get out Paying 1800 hundred a month for a 1 bedroom in a 50K town is very much out of reality

Please please please do not move to Bozeman.

How does having ownership of land with mineral claims on them work? Do claim owners lease the mineral rights from the landowner, or the state, or BLM?

Ted's LOL

Stay away

I’ve been thinking of moving out west to Montana Idaho or Wyoming for a few years now. Hopefully in the next 18 months to 2 years I’ll make the move. Probably leaning towards Wyoming for the moment.

West yellow stone gets -50 int the winter

If you are from California STAY AWAYY FROM MONTANA

Golf courses in Montana?

Wanting to move to Bozeman. Any help, recommendations, or advice is welcome. ❤

This was an incredible video! I took so many notes for my trip in a month, September 2023. Looking forward to checking out some of the spots you mentioned!

Lived there it was great but now they have priced the Montana regular family rt out n the California people coming want to take California politics with them runing the place

Thank you. I have been searching recently. I would love to connect with u.

Grizzlies love out of staters. Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle.

I really appreciate this information. Can you give a update version? Thank you

I was there in 1980/‘81 & it was gorgeous but too cold!

The long cold winters are enough in and of themselves to keep me from living there 365 days a year. Cabin fever is not a good thing.

Good day young man, are you open to creative finance, if so let's make the magic happen!!🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

The only sure bear spray is a 44 mag (my sure fire backup 😎). Also, yha, you’re going to see deer (at night) at the most inopportune time. Like when you are driving home. Did I mention that since everyone drives fast, you probably will also develop the habit. You can kiss your ride off. Always drive a big pickup for protection from these misshapes 😉. Just keep in mind that if you bring your stupid ideas with you, we pay injunes to do the great northern blizzard dance. The more we are perturbed, the more we pay them. The more we pay them, the colder the blizzard gets. Great northern blizzards are instrumental in weeding out out-of-staters.😱 the key point is blind in, don’t screw the place up.

It's insane and sad that's it's so difficult to visit this beautiful state.

Great video and appreciate the fine details. Will be there 1st week of July. Where would you recommend one go fishing (non fly)? Also, where would one get a fishing license? Thanks.

She doesn't own all of it but most of it

She goes to my church

I'm good friends with the person who owns the place

Would love to buy land to rent out and creat income from the acreage also including a prebuilt home for when I come a several times a year. If you have any loan programs what would be awesome.

Ill buy all the Montana. The land, the sky, the water and make disneyland out of it😮

Thanks to idiots like you advertising Montana all you’re doing is making my home what was once the last best place just like every other place you’re trying to get away from I hope you two and all the other people wanting to move here don’t because Montanans don’t want you here period!! Move somewhere else

Its expensive

If move up there I want no neighbors to see.

You sold montanas soul for your pocket!!! 🖕👎👎

I liked Bozeman, it sure beats Opheim or for that matter Thoeny. Cost of a house has got to be high.

Just found this channel - very cool! Will be checking out more of your videos. Don't forget about the subzero temperatures! The coldest temperature in the lower 48 was recorded here in Montana. 🥶

FYI for anyone wanting to move to Montana: We have no sales tax, but that's made up for by decently high property and income taxes. Car insurance is outrageous because of all of the deer. If you are coming, bring a boatload of cash to pay for it all. OH - and our electricity company has something neat called "premium rate times" which are 7-10am and 5-8pm -- where the rate is jacked up by 4x. Don't think you will live on windmills and solar panels - it's too windy and we're too far north to get any solar benefit. Oh - and make sure to buy a snow blower - by law, you will have to snow blow your sidewalk or get fined. Remember, 6 months of winter in Montana. Aside of all of that, welcome to Montana. lol

There's a reason Bozeman is now called Boz Angeles. The traffic is horrible. Builders squeeze as many homes as possible into subdivided land. More homes = more money. These homes are typically two-story in order to have higher square footage. Higher square footage = higher profits. This means your neighbors peer into your backyard- both from their second-story windows and from their own backyards, which are tiny lots next to yours. For $950,000, you can buy one of these homes and live in an area that looks so much like California that you'd never know you were in Montana. Perhaps you prefer the charm of historic Bozeman and want to be able to walk to downtown. This housing starts at well over $1 million, even the condos. That said, the downtown area is authentically charming. People are friendly. Gallatin Valley is gorgeous. Just have an idea of what you're getting into before you move because, as nice as these numerous "Ten Things About Bozeman"" videos are, the creators are realtors and they want to make money. They aren't your friends.

This place sounds like heaven on earth! We’re from a small small town in Georgia, but now they’re developing it, so we’re super disgruntled & want some place that’s more likely to stay less populated & less building all the time. Perfect place for outdoorsy people & my dogs apparently! 🥰

This video is dumb. Go back to FL and CA

Winters aren't like they used to be years ago. I have a summer mountain home in northwest Montana at high elevation. Totally off grid. My neighbors are the wild life. They are truly natural and non harmful. I don't feed them or try to pet. But we live in the same environment together without problems. It's called respect. I'm probably the only one who doesn't carry a gun. If you are fearful and need a gun, it's not the place for you. Neither am I a hunter. I'm there to be with nature. Not to conquer. Because that NEVER works. I've seen many people come and go over the last 31 years. With all their plans to live off the land and conquer nature. Within a matter of time those people have left. My motto is live and let live. There is traffic in some places of Montana. Real traffic. Not like LA, but there is traffic. I remember when things used to be affordable in Montana. Not anymore. It's changed drastically. There is no industry in Montana. And so don't think you're going to get a good job working for someone. The biggest employer in Montana is Wal-Mart. Now if you can handle that or working for a store at a low wage, you can try it for a while. Look before you leap. Most people going to Montana don't do that. Only to move out after a while. Count the cost and look at all the consequences before making a choice. Because the choices you make today will be your tomorrow, and will have an impact on your life. Choose wisely or you will pay greater consequences.

How do you handle the cold if you come from Florida? I am from CA and worry about the cold
