This is a primer on old-growth forests as well as an analysis into their costs and benefits. Script: This is a forest: you’ve probably been to a forest before. But this one is different, at least compared to most of the forests in the Eastern United States. It’s older. The Tulip Tree Woods Nature Preserve has been relatively undisturbed for over 200 years, which is quite an impressive figure. T...

The $350 Running Shoe from Salomon

I'm not sure how much you guys are into videos about running shoes, but I'll probably be going to a random point in Vermont in a few weeks so look out for that one. Also, I bought these for $150 on sale from Notre shop before they went out of business so no, I did not pay retail.

6:02 Nah. Nah.
I grew up in Jordan Valley, and it’s crazy how remote the surrounding area is. The closest thing to a traffic jam is when the local ranchers are herding cattle across highway 95.

They hate us cuz they aint us. Gotta love how the second example of CA being "Hell on Earth" stems from so many people wanting to live here the housing prices are just behind Hawaii. People hate CA because they don't want to confront how shitty red states have treated their people the last half century. You're the source of your own misery. But hey, some day if you work hard and save wisely you could afford to move out to the best coast. Till then we'll be out here keeping the American Dream alive.
Washington D.C. No human beings live there.
Only you could find a way to weasel Altoona pizza and the Old Man of the Mountain into a land value tax video, top notch work
You are really good at explaining complex issues.
Thanks Mom!
Isn't LVT, in fact, regressive though? I would be worried about an outcome where 'unproductive' long-time residents get pushed out while large commercial real estate developments get their taxes slashed.
The theory is that since commercial real estate developers have lower expenses, there is downward pressure on rent. 44% of Californians are renters, and they are generally less wealthy than owners
420th view.
Oh so a white supremacist Mormon from Idaho moved to California to make videos and bitch about it. Idaho is the trash state of the west
Make a florida video
ok
Southeast Oregon is the least populated in the US? Not even close. Try northern Alaska.
So the most desirable state in terms of weather, geography, culture, and economy is also very popular and therefore an expensive place to live? what a remarkable analysis. Next perhaps you'll note that unhoused people also like nice weather, and perhaps calif will always have this blight due to unhoused people nationwide, relocating there
I hate this place.
Much to think about. Horizons broadened. You make a good argument.
Just blame Reagan for giving amnesty to millions of Mexicans in the 80's. it turned blue for that reason after all
This is amazing
Taxation is theft.
At least it’s not Florida 😂
Phenomenal, productive analysis Mr. Barstool Syria
Thank you
NYC, LA, DC…
I drop it on Florida. Those ain’t people 😂
as an Alaskan… thank you for the disclaimer at 1:02 :)
Why did you use photos of Buffalo in your Norilsk discussion. Go Bills.
2:23 i need more info on Dickshooter Idaho here
Unfortunately it's just a footnote in history, maybe a ranch of some kind in the past or distinctly named for some event that happened there. Dickshooter is somewhere I never got to visit when I was living in Boise because it's truly in the middle of nowhere and it's not a real town
Think I found me a good camping site for a vacation destination.
Meanwhile, on reddit: "tHeRe's No AfFOrdAbLE hOuSiNg AnYwHeRE!!!" Can't afford a 3 bedroom in downtown San Fran, or Brooklyn? The sky is falling, and everyone over 50 is evil and wants everyone to be miserable. There's parts of the country that are giving away land. My late mother's home in rural west tn sold for less than 100k. Three bed, two bath. There is no housing crisis. No one wants to live two hours from a major metro area
The places with cheap land don't have decent jobs. If you're not wealthy and don't have a remote gig, then it's almost impossible to make a living.
There's more space in Alaska than Oregon without people.
what an interesting video to come across as an oregonian living in eastern oregon, lol! :0 i learned quite a bit !
Dickshooter is an unexpected name for a town
Dickshooter at 3:00, nice

I used to live in Lakeview. It’s a pretty bad idea to visit SE Oregon during the summer, as there’s always tons of wildfires that ravage the plains and mountains. The summer before I left, the sky was brown and thick with smoke and ash rained from the sky in fist-sized chunks. Just make sure you know what you’re getting into before you go there.
he had his employees claim all this land and then buy it from them. jesus. imagine just claiming all this land and then getting tons more en masse. american history during this period was just insane. its almost cartoonish.
Cool! I hiked about 40 miles of the Owyhee canyon a few years ago. Hardest hike I’ve ever done. Brutal bushwhacking, swimming with packs, and super dry if you leave the river for the canyon rim. Beautiful though.

"You have to drop this bomb anywhere in the US" New York city. "No you're supposed to minimize the-" Chicago, illinois
let go of your hatred before it destroys you
I used to live and work on the ranch in the background of the photo at 14:10. Still the most remote place I've lived since.
Weird choice of title for the third game in the series but ok
Yeah I'm from Oregon and it always surprises people when I tell them just how desolate it can be when you leave the nw part of the state. Oregon is Low-key scary when you get off the beaten path.

let go of your hatred before it destroys you
Fun fact: you can't talk about the political geography (in this case, borders) of ANYWHERE without talking about history.
"You can camp there for up to two weeks for free" and what happens after that, some goons fly in to the most remote area in the US to make sure you're not existing somewhere without paying somebody? 😂
Yeah true there people set up shop outside bend Oregon for years on BLM land. I'm just saying what's legal
@@themcbobgorge oh im not hating on you, i just like to laugh at some of our laws sometimes. i kinda approach everything the way a comedian would, always looking for the silly side.
