[@greggmcclelland8430]

I would clean up the trash first. Air Bnb is a good use. Get some goats to maintain the weeds on the property. They are a big draw for families who like animals. I have seen other you tubers doing the same and the goats are a hit. Make trails around the property for hiking or mountain biking.

[@greggmcclelland8430]

You could also have cross country skiing or hunting if it is isolated enough from other homes.

[@bobbylawless]

Is it on the same hill as your previous homestead if so you haven't got far to travel to both

[@TheSouthernMale]

My vote would be a haunted cabin, or the "dog house" for Ryley 🤣

[@marklar7551]

Overall, campsite and cabin for family and friends to use. I would never airbnb anything I owned. I still think a fire tower would be a good idea because the views would be great and it would be useful.

[@OzarkTroutBum]

Kudos to Courtney for knowing what a timing light looks like.

[@BullFrogSummers]

They owned a Off Road Shop that did custom modifications.. and they both did work on vehicles, I'm sure she's been around a shop enough to know a timing light. They are well equipped with knowledge, it's easy to forget until she says something like.. "that's a timing light".. and it snaps me back into reality, these guys have flipped houses, owned a business and sold it.. they have done more then most and are still quite young.

[@makingtechsense126]

Reminds me of cleaning up after my father when he died. He moved from the city to the country, packed a trailer full of his stuff and not long after he died. I would say that looks like a family moved to the country, used that cabin for storage, lost the main home and for some reason, abandoned all their stuff.

[@herringbone5035]

I had the same experience with my father. He moved out a much larger house in rural Pennsyvania with his wife and into a smaller house in Southern Maryland. It was stacked to the ceiling with junk. Just JUNK. I do not know why they even packed the crap and wasted money moving it. It took me 9 roll back dumpsters .NINE!!! I swore Id downsize all my belongings then and there so as to not leave that situation on my own daughter.

[@willbart1236]

I am 59 years old. I have been hounding garage sales and thrift stores my whole life. The stories I could tell you. One of my best finds was a black-and-white photograph that I paid $2 for. It turned out to be an original Edward Weston, and one of his most famous photographs, worth about $10,000. You guys need to go through the trailer very carefully. You would be surprised the things that are worth a ton of money. Like an old IBM computer or an old LeBron James basketball card. Or toys. Especially old Star Wars stuff. you just never know. There might be something in that trailer that is worth more than your whole property. It happens all the time.

[@darcyrobb3692]

That be a very terrible idea to bury everything , not at all environmentally friendly!!!! ☹️🍁🇨🇦

[@chrisbullard5901]

It’s a pretty common story: the property was homesteaded twice, separated by 15-20 years as each owner tried to build their dream home “on the cheap”, rather than the right way. One ended in fire, the other probably in bankruptcy and foreclosure, as any surviving relatives just washed their hands of the whole fiasco. Best bet is to bring in a hazmat rated waste removal company to truck all the barrels, fridges, and other junk out, then bulldoze and burn pile anything wood that remains. As for future use of those areas on the land, a seasonal tent and small RV campsite with off-grid electrical hookups and properly plumbed toilets on a septic system is one possibility. Depending how active you’d want to be with passive income, setting up a small general store and playground would take things up a notch. Another option is building out a proper access road loop, and partnering with a timber company to come in and responsibly cut and replant a percentage of the land each year. That way, you rake in the residuals for owning a thriving timberland, the forest is adequately replenished and managed against wildfires, while you also create jobs for the locals.

Congrats; it looks like an awesome location! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Seems like the most valuable find in the second cabin is all the plastic storage totes!

[@davidgates1122]

My wife having grown up in that area and my mother in law still living in the area, I can tell you that meth is a big problem (one of my brother in laws is currently doing time behind that). The condition of the contents of the cabin is indicative of someone who slid into addiction. As for how they got stuff up there . . . dirt roads deteriorate over time. Looking at the condition of the road, it appears that nearly 25 years ago you could easily drive a pickup up there in the summer. Everything you saw there could have been transported there in a pickup. I think you need to figure out if you can get the M1078 up there. If so, start making trips to the dump. The excavator will make quick work of ripping the place down once all of the trash is removed.

[@oldrobby]

I love touring anything old like this. Thank you so much for taking us along.

[@keithcress1335]

Fun tour, Thanks! Beautiful place. Random thoughts: 1) That stuff is all stolen from storage lockers. That's why it's all in totes and it's more than people would normally have. You can probably confirm that by the names on the pill bottles - are they all different? They'd cut a lock, fill their pickup, and head for the hills. 2) I'd grab ALL those baseball cards! Some are worth more than $4M. 3) You might want to quickly sort that trash into a huge pile of the stuff that would burn cleanly for a fun bonfire in the snow.

[@greyman1k]

I'm with you, Courtney. The best thing would be to get the story of those who came before. Now that would be really interesting. I, too, love to investigate abandoned places. Thanks for the great video.

Those batteries were used by telephone companies... its what made home phones work during power outages. They were typically stored in the basement of a phone company sub station.

[@dilbotmacguillacutty4849]

I also saw a Nortel (Northern Telecom) cardboard box in the mess.... maybe some connection? One would have to be connected to obtain batteries like that.

Many questions: 1. Does this property connect to your off grid property? 2. Why did you buy this property? 3. What plans do you have for this property? 4. Is the road to your off grid property finished. 5. Did you get the problems fixed on the excavator? 6. Did you get the starting problem fixed on the boat? Many cliff hangers.

[@andrewgee241]

So why refer to it as an abandoned homestead that they bought?

[@automaticprojects]

@@andrewgee241because previous owners of the land apparently abandoned their cabin. Riley and Courtney built new buildings on the same land (which is 20 acres)

[@wcbuchanan]

@@andrewgee241That’s exactly what it is. An abandoned homestead located on the property they purchased. The video title is a bit ambiguous, making it sound like it’s a new purchase, but it’s not.

[@wirelesmike73]

Judging from the stacks of containers, collectibles, and especially the empty coin collection books, it's likely that the big burned-down cabin was the home of someone who frequented storage auctions and used the smaller cabin as the storage building for the overflow of nonvaluable stuff. They might have had a small store or yardsale tent for stuff like that. The main house burned down, and there was no use for the junk left over. Vandals likely ransacked the place looking for anything valuable long after the fire.

[@m00se-b7t]

Scrap the metal, bonfire what you can, dumpster the rest. Probably need to hook up a utility trailer to a UTV to get the garbage out. People grossly overestimate the value of a stick frame -- especially when they're clearly inadequate for snow load. The walls and roof cost way more. More stuff for the ol' todo list :)

[@FirstLastOne]

11:01 oh that brings back memories. The last time I used a timing gun was back in 1995 on a '79 GTI.

Seeing y’all out and about on the bikes is pretty cool. Seeing all the vegetation got me wondering a bit about fire hazard, then you stopped at the burnt down cabin… You’ve got most of the equipment to clean that mess up… maybe a forestry Mulcher is in your future

You have to do the Chevy hood tap about 6” from center to the driver side after pulling the hood release. It might take a few times but those old Chevys always have sticky hoods

[@robertordewald8678]

Yes, it would be fun to search that cabin for a sellable treasure but truly the bulldozer and building a hole for it to be shoved into is probably the best thing. Were there any other mechanical Marvels on the property? This piece of property you purchased sounds very interesting. A metal detector would be fun to!

[@JasonAndresen-rc3bp]

My impression is that the cabin has already been visited by looters, probably multiple times, and there is little chance of finding anything of value.

Meth lab describes it perfectly. And the condition of the other cabin screams methhead organizational skills.

I only keyed on 1990s in my comment because they found other 1990s stuff. But looking at the stuff they found (TTRPGs for example as well) indicate that someone there was a hobbiest, which means they could potentially find some valuable baseball (or nonbaseball) cards, comic books and some other interesting stuff.

You commented when yall found the bathtubs Courtney said I wonder how they got all this stuff up here, well all the dead trucks should be an indicator lol, Y'all have your work cut out for Ya's. Hopefully your gonna clean up the mess and bring it back as close to just a small human footprint in such a beautiful place on earth. We wish Y'all the best, and To have The Best Day's Possible in your future endeavors, from all of us at Busted-Knuckles Speed & Custom. Thanks for sharing
