  1. Your wrong on the original state of Jefferson mapping. The Jefferson movement is ridiculous. Especially economically. The map grows everytime it is posted lol.

  2. Once you get North of Redding the scenery is beautiful. So beautiful. The risk of fire is high unfortunately. I also suppose it's "Starlink" country up there.
    You did a great job researching your video. Nice work and thank you.

  3. Nice video, we don't get a lot of attention up here. Many like it that way. I live on one of the large Mt. Lassen ridges west side at about 4 thousand feet. I love it here in Shasta county. Economically diverse, but most are like minded. I'm about 20 min from my favorite trout fishing hole; a big part of my diet. I've lived in Plumas County before moving here. Our house was about about 8 miles West of Chester. I've been romping around up here for years, fishing, hunting, hiking, etc, and know the land well. It's remote and you need to respect land ownership. People are very particular about that. Mostly because people from the valley/other places try to plant their cars or whatever and squat in different areas with no regard to trespassing. Becareful I've see people driven away the old fashion way. If your obviously visiting you'll probably just get asked to leave, but if you squatting be careful folks up here do not like that. Just be respectful when visiting. There is a lot to do up here in summer and winter. Older now and it's hard to get around so I just enjoy sitting and napping on my porch among the huge pines on my property, I feel like I'm camping every day. Last year we had a hurd, 17 deer, eating off a plot of grass we grow for them. Two female deer return to our back yard every year to gave birth, we watched from our dinning room window. I could go on and on. Great video. I would like to see more videos on this Northern area to learn more about where I and many others live. Thank you.

  4. I lived in a bunch of places all around this area for the last 4 years. Here are some thoughts.

    I started in Redding. It's surrounded by gorgeous mountains on three sides and has some of the best hiking trails I've ever seen. But its blistering hot in the summer. I worked overnights to dodge the heat. Wildfires are insanely scary, I was there during the Carr Fire. The air quality was horrific. It's affordable for California but getting more and more expensive. It's very conservative as well, many conservatives from down state flock up there to away from the liberal cities.

    Then I lived out of my car for a year in Eureka. The weather is perfect for it but that means lots of other people get the same idea which means heavier restrictions. Humboldt County is beautiful beyond belief but there are no good jobs, tons of crime and the most excessive drug use anywhere. I was working at a cafe in Eureka for a while and addicts would be constantly shooting up and overdosing behind out building. We saw the EMTs there almost every day. The cost of living is again affordable for California but not considering the dead economy. And rent prices are rising fast, I imagine due to remote working from Covid.

    I then spent a summer in Mount Shasta, small town at the foot of the mountain. Woodstock never ended there, I've never seen a town where 75% are hippies. Good people, beautiful nature. The mountain is a mesmerizing place with lots of folklore around it. The weather is like Redding only a good 10° cooler on average and the wind from the mountain make it feel cooler still.

    Then I spent the next summer in Weaverville. This town is a lot like Mount Shasta except no hippies and it's hotter. Its in a good location between the coast and Redding though and the Trinity Alps are the best kept secret of the whole area. Other than a lumber yard there are no decent jobs there though. In the end I had to leave that town because of another fire, the Monument Fire.

    The whole area is so enchanting and mystical. It was a great place to car camp and travel around in but ultimately all of California's issues drove me out. Those wildfires are totally nuts, the scariest thing I've seen. And the coast is just riddled with hard drug use and all the chaos that comes with it.

  5. Knowing a thing or two about California, while this is extremely informative (thank-you, Geography King!), I would rather set my balls on fire than live in a state run by Dems. Dems ruin everything.

  6. I've read that one of the reasons for increased wildfires is or may be that a lot of the coastal forests have been chopped down. They (supposedly?) helped keep a lot of moisture and moist air on the land and farther inland (instead of it draining so thoroughly into the ocean), which had a moderating effect on what is now an even drier interior. Would you care to comment, please?

  7. Paradise was torched via directed energy weapons, nothing new under the sun,, just like the 1996 s.f. quake and Hiroshima. Nuclear power doesn't exist as you gave been wrongly taught. Period

  8. This part of California and Southern Oregon have a common lifestyle and heritage. Both have also been equally ignored by Sacramento and Salem. They get very little in the way of road repair and infrastructure maintenance. They need to form the State of Jefferson or join the "Greater Idaho" movement. Jefferson area residents are generally moderate politically, whereas Sacramento and Salem are very liberal. This needs to happen, I know, I live there!

  9. I have lived in Humboldt County my entire life. It is a unique and sometimes strange part of the state, often considered “the Appalachia of California”, and for fair reasons. That aside, the geography is absolutely beautiful, and simply unrivalled. Also, Humboldt State University just became a state polytechnic school.

  10. I truly wish CA would be split into two states; it would numerically reduce the power of the lawless, bloodthirsty, arrogant, elitist, self-loathing-American leftist subhumans who have turned this state into the most 3rd-world train wreck in the country, in every way, shape and form. For leftist pigs, I truly wish America inherited England's old hang/draw/quarter penalty because as an American white male, I would pay good money to watch that happen to liberalfilth.

  11. yes, jefferson state poise vast land but little population, there are quite a few high tech firms of silicon valley attempt to move into this region but had promptly been replied with tons of objections. what a shame.
    but it is not only that, there is an even bigger contradiction—-which is the opposition from this region strongly against any high tech firms in silicon valley move out to anywhere.
    That's a huge April fool, man. what is going on????

  12. That was great. As a 65 year old Californian I had never heard of Jefferson! Loved the mountain info. Thumbs up and I subscribed. Thank you

  13. I live in eureka we have way more people then that the drug problem is true though it's a big problem especially when more people came up here

  14. Southern Oregon is considered part of the State of Jefferson. The NPR radio station in Jackson County Oregon even uses a "State of Jefferson" bumper. In general, the California border to Roseburg Oregon is part of the State of Jefferson.

  15. When you combine arson with complacent Forest service Forest management… And the let it burn policy you get the mess we've had for the last 10 years. Climate change isn't lighting these fires, assholes are.

  16. I go to Cal Poly Humboldt (formerly HSU) and it’s a great area, a lot safer than I thought before moving here. It’s my favorite part of CA because it’s never too too hot (weird to pick a school based on weather, but that’s exactly what I did). We also had a tsunami warning a few months ago in winter of 2022 and regularly practice tsunami drills.

  17. Hey Geo King, what is the most correct answer to this question:

    What is the most eastern state of the United States?

    Is it Maine or Alaska? I'm talking about the whole 180 longitude thing

  18. You can likely include Tuolumne, Calaveras and Amador counties on your map of the current State of Jefferson. There is a lot of support in those areas. There are signs, bumper stickers, hats and t-shirts all over place in that area.

  19. Born in chico grew up in Mt shasta…been living in redding for 20 years I love it up here but unfortunately I see it turning into the bay area soon as far as cost of living an all that goes I believe that's why alot of people are moving out of state
