Montana is the greatest. I live in very rural Utah in a mountain cabin; in my life before I lived in the cities (and worldwide in the military); until you have lived in the woods you won't appreciate what it is like, but once you have done so, you will never want to go back. Rural folk (like the entire state of Montana) cringe like I do when they visit a monstrocity like Salt Lake City. We count the seconds until we are out of there.

I love visiting Montana whenever I'm out seeing family in Alberta, as they are close to the border so I usually make a point of traveling through the State on my way back. I've stayed in Kalispell, Polson, Great Falls, and Libby. The last town, if you've ever visited, is a really nice, friendly place that was once considered one of the most polluted communities in the United States. The major employer in town, going back to the late 19th century, was a vermiculite mine that evidently ran alongside natural asbestos deposits, and in the mining process there was contamination on a massive scale that saw not only the employees exposed to asbestos but pretty much everyone else courtesy of the wind carrying fibers everywhere. The EPA began investigating in 1999, began emergency responses in 2000 and ultimately declared a public health emergency in 2009. Cleanup of more than one million cubic yards of contaminated soil was completed in late 2018, with the exception of the forested area. I walked past the EPA office in Libby during my stay, and saw signs for a mesothelioma clinic. What's particularly insidious is that the company that took over operations of the mine back in 1963 - W.R. Grace & Company - knew of the asbestos contamination and didn't warn anyone until the end of mining operations in 1990. It just let the area get contaminated and let its citizens get sick; the profits meant more.

Wilderness/semi-wilderness living along with living off the grid isn't for most people-???🤔.

How does that old cliche go? If you're bored, then you're boring.

[@573998]

Growing up in the 60s , 70s and leaving in 86 from Bozeman and Billings. I now live in Ohio and get back rarely, my memories are better than reality. When I go back I want to cry. Bozeman now has 10+ 🍷 wine and cheese 🧀 bars. And Billings is a dusty weed reden ghetto. But the scenery is still and always be beautiful

No traffic, no drama, and No Bills? At: 30:07. What do you mean by that Nick Johnson? The people there must surely still pay there taxes and rent.

A small town in Pennsylvania and Virginia where i grew up had store credit and if you didn't pay you were put on a big whiteboard in thw store but your name and reputation was your credit. It was cool.

[@Non_auro_sed_ferro_recuperanda]

Thanks Nick. I absolutely want to move to Montana.

Hope you have half a million bucks to spend on some basic little house with barely any land

[@jasonshults368]

Sorry, no vacancy.

Its very entertaining how Nick's various avatars channel his subject matter. Wonderfully educational visual documentaries!

The speed limit is "nobody gives a sh&t" best comment ever

[@HighlyVolkish]

That may be true on these back roads, but on the highway, after driving across the country several times, I've had the opposite experience, oddly enough. Montanans drive exactly the speed limit, or even a few miles under, more often than people do in any other state I've been to.

[@j_p_stratorus211]

Sounds like Colorado.

[@BillKing3456]

We were just in far eastern Montana for a little bit on a ‘Grand Tour of North Dakota’ vacation. Saw like 5 people. Nothing like driving along a 2-lane asphalt highway that turns to gravel at 70 mph with no warning. Drove on the gravel part for about 30 miles (going 50 mph) before it mercifully turned back to asphalt.

[@gert-frobe425]

Montana is beautiful. Maybe I'll retire there. Absolutely need to get out of California.

[@squibbleyfarbleton1976]

We do not like liberal Californians here. And we are wary of Californians in general. If you come, we act different here. We drive polite, help each other without being asked, and we talk and greet each other openly.

[@l3eaver]

I live north of montana by a couple hrs and the farm land is the same. The season is long enough to get a crop off. Yea lots of “hay” indicates lots of livestock. Hay is NOT the only thing that can be grown 😂. Popular crops up here in my parts is wheat, barley, oats, peas, lentils, canola, flax, mustard. You could also be doing corn etc…

[@soulsweet40]

The towns are 95 percent white and you can leave your doors unlocked...hmmm...I'm having a hard time putting this puzzle together...what is the common denominator?

[@user-tn1vc1xz5d]

I lived in Bozeman for a year. The Bridger mountains were fab 😊😊😊

I used to work for the Forest Service on the Flathead National Forest many, many years ago when I was much more intelligent. I bought a belt buckle back then that said featured elk, bald eagle and mountains with the saying Montana is what America was.

Look Nick, I need to admit something. I just checked and I wasn’t even subscribed. I assumed I was but I’ve probably watched hundreds of hours assuming that. Sorry man! Thanks for your time and videos.

I’m subscribed now by the way.

Another excellent report, Nick. Always enjoy watching your exploits. Keep 'em going.

Bozeman, Montana is where the humans will meet the Vulcans in 2063. April 4th. The visitors will see Earth's first warp-capable ship and decide to investigate. 🖖

[@WANDERER0070]

I thought Vulcan Alberta was the meetup place 😂

I've been watching it for over a week now.From a Japanese perspective, it makes me want to learn more.The generation that learned about Western movies from watching TV is probably over 65 years old. It was an impressive Nick report.
