Good land is so expensive. The best I can afford is a burial plot… 🙁
Looking for something that will take $15k downpayment
For voles I recommend getting rid of brush and places where they can hide easily. Which means keeping the land clipped well. Cats are a good option, but most of the time other predators will get them if they have a hard time getting away. They do move to new areas when it is hard for them to live.
Change your name, I suggest…. Non ideal for farming? You will make it ideal!
99% of British Columbia is "Out in the Middle of No Where!"
40 acres for cheap??? As in under a million dollars cheap?
Build a damn not a water holding tank. Check out Joel Salatin if you haven’t
Seems to me the rural areas are being cleaned up on using wild fires – make sure the trees and brush get cleared back from buildings. Also, have some water/hoses available for fighting fire. Even simple backpack sprayers are unbelievable in what they can do.
This is the dream. Freedom for youself and your family forever
This is amazing and inspiring!!!!
Well done Curtis, looks like an adventure in nature 🙂
Congratulations Curtis, beautiful land! Sure you will succeed in everything you do, wishing your good luck! Love all your videos, you are very inspiring, thank you for sharing and looking forward to see your progress.
Congratulations Curtis!!! This is awesome and what a time in history to do this, wish you the best!
Have 24 acres in Goldendale, WA. Getting away to the country. Planning on doing some small-scale farming. Your videos have been inspiring and informative. Thanks for all the great content!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are a true modern pioneer. Blessings from USA
Get 20 cats or so for the voles. For room and board you have workers going 24/7.
Hi Curtis, been watching for several years; you are very inspiring. QUESTION: Is all your Youtube content in fromthefield.tv?
you sound like a kid making his christmas list..lol.. so good to see that you have actually gone high up onto a mountain.. as..this is what i want to do .but . it seemed more practical and easyer to live on lower flatter ground.. but if you make this work.. it will be a great lesson for others to follow.
How far out is the property?

We have. A house. Septic. No hydro.
You can make it ideal. Wood mulch. 16 inches and leave it for three years.
Plant fruit trees. Plant them now so you have them five years from now. We have 200 fruit trees

I solved my vole problem by painting the lower 24 inches of the trees with low VOC white paint mixed with sand. The voles don't like it. I also use beneficial nematodes to solve the borer problem, especially with the peach trees.
Voles are a nightmare in our vegetable garden in northern France. We planted shallots around the perimeter as I heard they don't like the onion family. They ate all 50 plants.
They tunnelled everywhere and ate everything from the roots up. I put a 'Berlin Wall' of underground mesh and they somehow got past it and ate all our beets for the season. Glass jars on metal pickets do seem to have some discouraging effect on them, as for moles. Dumping a mix of garlic powder and chili powder down the holes seems to also help. I've tried flooding, no use. Dumped litres of human urine down their tunnels, not sure they noticed.
Forking regular to break up their tunnels is supposedly one of the most effective ways to get them to give up an area. Do them all at once!!
I'm loving what I hear, especially at the end; your intention to develop some sort of food forest while also leaving as much as possible of the natural flora. I'm just planning the same thing on the land we just bought in rural northern France. Rewilding mixed with food forest, plus an orchard, permaculture vegetable beds and a greenhouse.
Look up yeoman key line design and Geoff Lawson for good info.
Voles? Meet the terriers!
