Lots of folks asked how we found cheap land — so we made this short video explaining one of the key steps: tax sales. It’s not for everyone, but for those asking, this is how we got started.<br>That said, if you're here for the off-grid bush work, machines grinding through snow, and northern hardship — hang tight. The next video is coming soon, and it's a whole different thing. Longer format, more story, closer to real time.<br>Skip this one if it's not your thing. We'll see you back in the bush in a couple days.<br><br>We didn't include it in the video (because we decided to go brief) but there is a way to get more info from google earth pro. Note that in the bottom right of the Onland map is a geo reference tag according to where your mouse is. If you print screen while holding your mouse in position you can paste the picture into free GPT and ask it to convert it into google maps/earth reference. That lat/long can be pasted into google earth to drop a pin. Google earth is a great resource to check elevation, historical images etc. Always explore properties like this if you are interested in bidding on something.

If you have a helicopter, you can have the whole frozen wasteland. People don't understand the word 'remote' until they fly over Canada for a few hours.

Most of those properties after trying to play with them and realizing it's just a headache new owners will put back on sale. Obviously all the usable properties don't go that cheap. <br>But hey, if have some extra bucks why don't have such piece of land and visit it couple times in your life.<br>And by the way, the guy forgot to mention that OTS monthly membership is $35 bucks (annual $159.95) and infopak for the property for non-members is $25 bucks.

Only 70 miles to the nearest cross road and 320 miles to a truck stop and 379 miles to small town of 1300 for $2900 is expensive

Excellent video. Finally someone is willing to get a little more granular in the detail. I really appreciate this video, your channel, and a special hat tip to your writing style.
