EVERYTHING was better about blackout except not being able to bring dead teammates back. If they had made it free to play and crossplay and it had the advantage of being released during covid, doubt warzone would exist. I had a 7kd and 100k+ kills on there, would ditch warzone any day for a blackout 2! 🔥😛
Have you followed Countryside Acres (& Countryside Corner) on YouTube?
Canadian farmers who moved to Russia for farming. Seams like smart ice breakers of what people should do to avoid communist Canada. Much love from PEI
We bought a house and moved to Tennessee three years ago. Six months later, I found 100 acres that are just on the line of your Nashville circle. The land was less expensive than you would think because it was so remote (hilly with no utility access). The area and climate are perfect for homesteading, but what is more expensive than the land is any building support services (wells, roads, housing, barns). Every contractor thinks of themselves as a high-end builder, so you must learn to do things yourself more than I would have thought. Plus, they are all backed up two years on jobs from all the new construction. Take your time, and you will save money.
You are describing my area of Ontario Canada. Building ourselves. 33 acres.
Great information. Thank you for sharing.
ShatANoooGaa ?
TN is full
TN is not full. Not that I can blame them but they absolutely do not like Californians. The first thing they say is “Don’t California-ize Tennessee!” That is about as polite as they get regarding Californians.
@@Andy-le8xy I am sick of these jerks coming here and acting like they are better. They are so stupid to pay for overpriced houses. Poor people here will lose houses due to increased property tax. When times get bad Tennesseans will stick together and take care of one another. Outsiders will have to fend for themselves. Many natives say this.
Can’t wait for your go at Texas 🙏🏻
Currently in N.C.
I love Tennessee! Still a lot of country out here but prices are skyrocketing. Also not good wages. Neighbor said states are a good alternative. Thanks Curtis.
Great Videos. Also great job at Vandalia Homestead event. My wife and I went, great info, thanks. Looking forward to when you get to Kentucky, we are going to start looking around soon in Kentucky where we currently live.
Lived in northeast Tennessee my whole life. Even in a small place there’s been too many people moving here. I understand why but I’d still rather it stop. Move to west Tennessee I’m not going over there. Or north Carolina, it’s nice there.
I agree. The infrastucture can’t handle the load of people coming so fast. It’s driving prices up and putting more people on welfare.
Thank you Curtis.
Been with you since the beginning,,Moved to Camden got 7 acres 2 years ago best decision ever !!! Thank you for your content.
I wish you would do one of these for Oklahoma..
He’s working his way through all the states. Gotta wait like the rest of us
I just find it funny that the guy who wrote Urban Farmer is telling us to stay away from urban areas lol. I mean, I totally agree… But im also reading that book when Im not watching these videos! 😛 He must have had a change of heart at some point
Yes, I have changed my views.
Native Tennessean. I agree with everyone who says that Tennessee is full in places. And everywhere in Tennessee is subject to having a lot of wind and tornadoes, if that is a consideration for you.
Born and raise in east Tennessee, beautiful place to live.
Which county?
Glad you’re covering TN! I’ll throw my two cents into the comments, in case it’s valuable.
One major issue to consider with the entire western portion of TN is its proximity to the New Madrid Fault Zone. When it does decide to go off, it will be devastating.
Something to consider about Knoxville region is its proximity to Oak Ridge (nuclear facility).
Also, tornado alley has shifted east a good bit, and my own town of Columbia TN took a direct hit during the recent storms. It was terrible. Oldtimer locals will tell you that if you build in the hollows, those tornadoes usually jump right over you.
In general, one of the safest zones in the entire US is on the Cumberland Ridge.
What about the valley area like Chattanooga up to Athens?
Small note on Mtn City: It’s closer to Canada than to Memphis
Warning on Selmer: about to have an incredible population boom
I’m looking forward to Texas!
Here’s the thing about East TN. It has gotten expensive, there’s not enough infrastructure to handle the influx of people and the school systems leave a lot to be desired. There is a lot of multigenerational welfare in rural E. TN. It’s a problem and the influx of people has made it worse. The price increases have decimated the low and middle class. The food pantry’s can’t keep up. Drugs are also prevalent. You can thank the FL pain clinic shysters for that. It travelled up and through E TN and meth labs are all too common. It has brought crime to the area. Mostly theft. Nail down tractors and equipment, porch furniture and even garden ornaments.
