Kitsault B.C.

[@charlieforrester6171]

That's a great video of of our lovely little town Kitsault, super clear. I lived and worked in Kitsault in the early 80s, a fantastic place to live and work. As an 18 year old, the fun factor was right off the charts.

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

I appreciate you watching and commenting

[@metalmogul4691]

Lived and worked here in the early 80’s. Was a great place with unspoiled nature everywhere. It has all the buildings a town needs and could be populated quite easily. The current owner is missing bringing the place to life again. I liked it there and Chandra should wake up.

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Definitely hope to go back this summer but by boat next time and film the town with my drones. It is a beautiful place

Beautiful place! Nice drive my friend 😊 thanks for sharing 🙏❤️

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Thanks. Long drive to that place. Beautiful though

[@RODPIKERDRONESUK]

Great video and footage very nice indeed well done 👍

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Thanks. Was quite the adventure

[@DanburyDK]

Beautiful place. I wonder how many caretakers live there.

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

As far as I know a lady and her husband are the caretakers for it. I talked to the lady and she politely asked me to leave the town as it wasn't open to tje public. I was welcome to come back at a later date and pay to be in the town.

[@DanburyDK]

@@ScoopeddadDrone They sound like nice people. It must be nice for them to care for such a beautiful place.

[@charlieforrester6171]

I'm surprised that you made it in too town though, it's always in lock down mode and going over the hump in November can be a risky situation considering how much it snows there. Super clear video, thank you for posting. :)

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Electrical company is in working so road was in good condition. We went and spoke to the caretaker and she asked us to leave but to please come back in spring when town is cleaned up

[@charlieforrester6171]

Unfortunately hydro and their contractors will be in and out of Kitsault all winter.

Hey, I am planning on doing this drive this summer. Is this open to the public? I keep reading that it's private and it's no access but others I've spoken to says it's opened to the public. Were there gates or security when you drove to Kitsault?

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

The road upto Kitsault is public but has heavy logging. I would suggest a radio so you can listen and communicate with the large trucks. There is a gate into Kitsault that sometimes is open but usually closed.

[@GuoSlice]

@@ScoopeddadDrone gotcha. How were you guys able to get in? Just luck?

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

@@GuoSlice yes. By luck. Then asked to leave as soon as we asked permission to be there.

[@NorthcoastDrone]

Thats crazy cool. To bad you did not get to fly

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Didn't want to cause a problem. Easier to co.e back in the summer

[@uksewingmachineservice7030]

Nice one mate looking good there don 🤠🇬🇧👌👌👌

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Thanks. Was quite the trip to be turned around by the caretaker and asked to come back next summer

[@bonjovirocks24]

Is it still abandoned?

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Town is used for tourism and some contractors use the town.

[@bonjovirocks24]

@@ScoopeddadDrone Thanks!!

[@dennisfarquharson8114]

How did you get in there as they said no one is Allowed in there anymore I talk to the owner early last summer he said they’re not letting anybody in so it’s just an old video thank you

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

I asked some electrical contractors that were working on the power grid if I could go in. They didn't care but said the caretaker might mind. I entered and drove around looking for the caretaker to ask for permission. I located after about 20 minutes and was asked politely to leave and come back in the spring with an appointment. Very nice lady and we left asap

[@lynnemartin910]

would love to live there

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Thanks for watching and commenting. It is a beautiful place. Hope next time to go there by boat and film the town. Spring time cannot come fast enough

[@redactedzero2622]

Can you just drive through? How do you contact them

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Type Kitsault into Google. They have a website. There is a fellow named Rob Bryce that does tours there

[@BabyReviews2]

If you can pay a fee there, does that mean there would be electricity & running water?

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

The town is fully functional. There is a rec center, hospital, and to my knowledge there is fiber optics.

[@annetteslife]

This looks very similar to the mining hamlet I lived in but moved out in 89 named Elsa Yukon which was 786 kilometers north east of Whitehorse

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I am hoping to get back this summer by boat and film the town from the air

[@phoenixman8569]

this place was purchased by a billionaire from India around 2009 he made all kinds of promises to revitalize this town and other than a bit of grounds maintaining and keeping the power running its still mostly deserted and all those houses going to waste and with B.C in a major housing crunch this place needs to come back from the dead ASAP....

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

From talking with the caretaker they are opening for tourism. You can apparently pay a fee and stay there for a few days.

[@TheCoolOwen]

Are they still trying to repopulate it and reopen the mine?

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Not to my knowledge.

[@trudyhorstman5167]

Hi there, has the town of Kitsault a new owner and is it gonna be a real living town again? I like the video. Greetz from the Netherlands

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

The owner bought it quite a few years ago. They are making it a tourist spot that you can go and stay and enjoy the area for a fee.

[@williamrussell4150]

Cool video. Town looks like it's still being kept up. Does the caretaker live in one of the old houses?

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Yes people still are in the town. The caretaker lives there along with the few people working there. The local electrical company has workers staying there sometimes when they are in the area working on the power lines

[@williamrussell4150]

@@ScoopeddadDrone cool thanks for the reply

[@darkangel2102]

Would love to know how to get there!!!

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Having a radio is strongly advised as logging and hydro workers are busy on the roads. Was a 500km round trip

[@Dodgeram591]

@@Dodgeram591 and a radio to communicate. Alot of heavy traffic up there working

This town also has fiber optics. WS a first rate town then shut down as fast as it opened.

[@AdventuresRUs]

Super cool! Is it I open for tours or was this a self guided tour? Great piece of history.👍

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Not open now. Caretaker said it's open in summer and for a small fee you can stay there in the town.

[@AdventuresRUs]

@@ScoopeddadDrone Well that’s pretty awesome!

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

@@AdventuresRUs thanks again for watching. Definitely suggest that in traveling there to have a radio to communicate with the loggers and other traffic.

[@austinfurgason3634]

Hey when you say for a small fee you can stay there in town do you mean permanently or just overnight?

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

@@austinfurgason3634 as far as I am aware you can stay for a few days. They are trying to make it a tourist attraction. Should be able to Google it and find the contact information. If you get a chance its pretty cool.

[@briansaunders7274]

Never heard of this place.

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

There is quite the history on this place if you Google it. Very interesting. Thanks for watching.

[@waynewayne7395]

Why is there nobody living in the town.

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Was a mining town. There is a caretaker thats there but no one else

[@stevewebb6021]

nice, I've been there and had a tour through various buildings and houses.

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Thanks. Was a good day, long drive. Wish I was able to fly around the town

Is anyone mining Bitcoin there yet?
