I have 20 acres in north Sask. you nailed it. A huge bonus here is the people. I only have 20 acres but my neighbor gives me full access to 3 surrounding wooded quarters: all the firewood and hunting I can want. Big downside is basically everyone is nonstop spraying roundup.

Yes. Well said! There are some really great organic pockets of the province but they are populated to their maximum. 😊

Good video. I recently purchased 153 acres in Saskatchewan of untouched land. I can work outside all day in -25C if there isn't wind. I chose my land due to its location and over 100 acres is woods where we can build in the center of it. Winter is the best time to get your firewood ready for next year and then it heats you twice!

I've noticed you discount or put down, lots of places due to cold weather. There are some people that like, and prefer places that are cold and snowy. I find it better for being self sufficient.

Yeah, I was born and raised in northern saskatchewan. Give me a cold day any day. +30 is too hot for me, that's nap time. My ancestors came here well over a hundred years ago and built from nothing. Now with modern tech it is so much easier to homestead too.

Lived near Coronach in Southern Sask for 13 years. About 10 miles from USA border. Had the most productive gardens I have ever grown.

Attaboy! I moved back to NE Sask after 16 years of the Bow Valley and Calgary. If you want to learn about contentment move to Saskatchewan. It’s quiet and it’s peaceful.

Cold and windy was my personal impression as well. There was also lots of ticks and mosquitoes in some of the country and wooded areas during the summer. The landscape in a lot of areas doesn't seem very interesting and there really isn't a whole lot going on. It would be great for people who want to get away from large crowds of people and big cities. Locals can be nice but some small town folks seem to have a very negative (unwelcoming) bias against people that they perceive to be from the cities. There are people on YT in SK doing some really cool things with year-round green houses. I would want to try that in any cold climate. Otherwise, like you said, if you don't have a reason to be there, I personally wouldn't bother. There are so many better areas in Canada... But then again maybe certain people want to be in an area that isn't popular and less populated.

Lots of good old farm boys in Ontario

I lived here 64 yrs , worked year around outside, raised on a Dairy Farm.

Interesting perspective. Living in Saskatchewan my entire life (grew up in South SK and live in boreal fringe now) and knowing the areas you spoke of intimately, the wind is definitely a fact of life, much like the cold. However, the trade off's are worth it in my mind - access to lakes with a short drive, miles between neighbors, rich soil (for most part), cheaper properties and as you mentioned, friendly folk (for most part). But like everywhere, it depends on what you want. It is certainly not for everyone, that's for sure. But there are a lot of benefits to living here once you embrace it. I smiled because it has been so cold and wet here this spring, early summer.

looks as if summer is showing up this week! 🤞

It’s hot, now! So many forests and lakes around us in the Parkland area… we moved here from BC and AB.

Please pick Manitoba! 🤗

Very interesting to hear the thoughts. I suggest examining some of your preconceived bias when it comes to certain areas. The south areas (within 1 hour of US border) on the prairies, through Manitoba across Sask and Alberta are very low population, good terrain variations and amazing resources from lakes, trees etc. While there is wind in areas with little terrain changes, there are lot's of amazing areas with South Saskatchewan that would be very solid choices. Minimal predators, minimal people, minimal natural disasters, abundance of resources

I grew up on an organic mixed farm in the south west. Winters are milder, closer to Medicine Har weather. If you have native prairie grass it is drought proof. Good place to graze animals. Our farm had a natural under ground spring. Very low population. My family were original homesteaders.

I've been waiting for this.

Thanks ❤

Lots of good old boy farmers in Ontario

On-terrible please! Norther ontario of course

You've raised some interest for me about this province. I would like to learn more. What would be the best way to speak with you about your views on a specific area? Thank you.

Speak to someone who lives in Saskatchewan rather than someone who is speaking about Saskatchewan.

The property by La Ronge is in the Canadian Shield, won’t be good for agriculture. Smaller homes with wood/ coal stoves are a must for independence.

And the crime

I am wondering what part of Saskatchewan that Quick Dick McDick is from. He is a hard working guy who is trying to scratch out a living in that province.

When you are buying in remote parts of any of the CA provences make sure to research the property crime stats and know how close the Indian reservations are situated! You will have to be fairly dilligent watching out for poaching, theft and even home invasion so dont let your guard down.

Yep absolutely agree, people will call you racist but the truth is truth folks! And no not everyone is like that I’ve met and worked for some very nice and respectful natives but heard some of the crazy stories, its very unfortunate that some groups ruin it for the good people that don’t deserve to be treated bad and get accused just because of their heritage

We own a place in nemeiben lake about 20 min north of Laronge. Theres an aboriginal guy on the lake that prevents a lot of issues up there but still boat thefts, lots of window smashing and stuff like that. We’re on boat only access and still get the odd break in every 5 years. No serious damage or theft and one time they just left a note said it was an emergency

Our property taxes went up slightly as somehow they knew about additional faucets and shower in the cabin. I suspect they paid a local to take pictures and break in each place

The worst part about this province is the politics. Old, hateful, regressive politicians and their supoorters. Many young peoole leave the small towns and even the province because the bigotry.

to be honest. I have live in sask all my life. Your assessment of properties that you have no idea if it's for sale or not os somewhat insulting. I would stick to actual listing's.

@Mrs.LadeyBug

2 күн бұрын

I think that it would’ve been good to look at listings. A lot of the property is not ever going to go up for sale. It is not land that peoplecan move onto, ever.

Waste of time
