You can by 20 acres in Terlingua for 15k. It's right between Big Bend park and Big Bend ranch. It's a ghost town with no water and very few people, and it's harsh living down there. ¡Viva Terlingua! (For those who know)
@elchicharron9503 Yessir. All the water is trucked in. They're actually having an issue with trucking in due to scarcity. Last I heard they were rationing.
Those areas were never meant for permanent human habitation and quite frankly, I think that's for the best. Why destroy such beautiful and rugged landscape through development, while driving out the indigenous wildlife? Certain things in this world shouldn't even be fucked with in my opinion. 💯

LOL, You can’t live in an area designated as parkland!!!
People live all around Palo Duro, and unfortunately their domiciles do intrude with it being relatively close to both Amarillo and Lubbock. There are other more remote areas such as Caprock Canyons and Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Big Bend is truly remote, beautiful, seducing and deadly.
Big Bend has one of the perfect mountain-bile trails. Ride/push/drag the bike up 6 miles of gravel but into "The Basin" which was formed by 4 volcanoes blowing their faces sides off into each other's directions. The basin can have must more rainfall, ferns and an abundance of bee-lovin' flowers. But then, it's a 33-mile downhill ride to the Rio Grande. Wheee
I have hiked Big Bend for about 35 straight years, always in January. I always hike trails in the desert vs the basin area . In those 35 years I have probably ran into 50 or 60 people out on the trails. That’s total for the 35 years. It’s like I am the only person in the park. Totally awesome.
And always crappy internet and even cellphone coverage - but do we REALLY want cell-towers and wires everywhere? NO. I feel sorry for the towns (LaJitas, Terlingua, even Marathon 'back east' to Sanderson.
Except for the rainfall, his description could include where I live, Austin, Texas. We get temperatures above 100 degrees every summer. We also get temperatures below freezing every year. The Austin area contains 2,000,000 people. Texas is hot everywhere in the summer. The Texas population would not be the level that it is without lots of electricity and air conditioning.
@@kayhenry6293 Austin's Christmases and New Years have far more 80+f days than freezing 'white Christmas' days/weeks. And folks who get used to swimming in Barton Springs have almost every winter day all to themselves. (And a thousand of so familiar nutjob friends.)
same here in houston lol, i think the only area that doesnt hit freezing every winter is the rio grande valley or maybe the barrier islands, it was 32 here this morning in houston
@@nottawa86 Do you get to Galveston or the coast very often? We visit the Corpus area usually in cold February (because no one else is there! We pray for sleety rain so we can have ALL THE SHELLS to ourselves-!! ha ha. But we also visit in August for the sunburn AND the hot-bathwater Gulf 'swimming' - more like basting!! I wonder when Galveston''s waters cool down (well, below 80!!) - I saw that a mile off coast, it was still 82 degrees yesterday. FOG producing cold-air vs. warm water. Just curious what 300+ miles of Gulf flow did to water-temps.
@@bitfenix90 I live between houston and galveston so I go 2-3 times a year, I haven't been looking at water temps lately but according to a few sources it seems to be about 61 or 62 degrees right now, it's usually in the 50's and 60's water temp wise in winter, I'm sure down in Corpus it's a little warmer though. You're right though, it doesn't take much for those temps to warm up offshore.
You mentioned the threat of heat. But you didn't mention the other side. November is the best month to hike in Big Bend. It's also a dangerous month. Mid-day temperatures can easily be in the mid-70s to 80s. In the desert climate, temperatures drop at night. Temps at 7500 feet at night can be brutal. I don't know current statistics. In the mid-80s, hikers died from hypothermia every year. I was camping in that region in mid-November. We had hiked to the desert floor for water and returned to our camp at altitude. That night, the temps dropped into the mid-teens. We were in 3-season tents with 30 degree sleeping bags. By morning, we had the foil blankets wrapped around the bags and were chilled to uncontrollable shivers. The cold is as much a killer as the heat.
Texas badlands are not only these two parks. And the really idiot thing is there is another park in the badlands also. Lol. Just shows he didn't do much research. Also, these parks are better then other areas of the Texas badlands. Again the forgotten part of Texas is not visited or remembered. But that's ok. That one of the reasons I like it. People joke about dieing of thirst. But the truth is. You can not walk from my house. And not die of thirst. No surface water. Or any source of water to be had. Closest surface water is over 80 miles away. And drilling for water is 500 feet. And that's not even good water. No this isn't just a welldrillers scam. As they often do. But the hard facts. Nothing to hold the water. It pretty hards to hold water in solid fractured rock. Add to this, every year that water table drops . No it's not due to global warming . It due to way too many people in El Paso which is stealing and draining the water. My rainfall is 4 inches a year.
There is land for sale out that way but You better bring everything you need with you, and like he said nothing is close or convenient. It’s wild and beautiful but not much one can do with it!
West Texas is arid and some of it is desert, but so is western Oklahoma, southern Colorado and most of New Mexico, Arizona and southern California. The folks that live in these areas are tough.
To the people laughing and saying that you can't live in a park.... Be advised that the rough dry mountainous terrain outside the Big Bend National Park goes on for thousands of square miles. It is in this rough badlands that I made my homestead. I am off grid, no access to water or electric service. I live about ten miles up a dirt/rock road. There is not reliable cell service at my place. I am not as alone as I was when I moved here. More people are moving here to get away from urban toxicity. Look up a song written and published by my friend George Goss "Welcome to the Badlands".
You also LOVE THE SKY, I bet. Night skies are The Real Reward to living in some places. Sanderson and Langtry have motels that specialize in telecope viewings. Ft Davis has - at times, sold 'stream time' to their motels, out to the pretty great Prude Ranch. Marfa is home to a more famous night-time 'tour' as well. Alpine? It can be a college town, but they all have some taverns and honky-tonks for those customers as well. If I could get deep enough wells, we'd have water for everyone-! ha ha
I moved to an area where the closest townis a 15 min drive its population is less than 900 the closest city with barely 1 million people is 1.5 hour drive away
There are so many different types of Reserves, Parks, (state, federal, county, town, regional), Sanctuaries, BLM, Lakeshore, Coastal, Recreational, Historic, Battlegrounds, and on and on covering vast numbers of acres and structures like the C & O Canal etc. There are probably a bunch more names than these and subcategories. Can anyone put it together to add up how much land is really inaccessible to the public because it is owned by some "government" entity-- which may even be a foreign power or multi-national corporation? When you go to a National Park you may only be seeing a tiny fraction of the area. The wilderness parts are inaccessible to most people. This doesn't even count in Military installations of every kind, many that are built and later abandoned and countless government buildings. If the Texas Badlands along with many other places in other states is inhabitable due to climate and lack of infrastructure, it is blocked from those conditions changing. People are using permaculture and beavers, to make use of desert lands. Roads and structures can be built, but not if it is blocked off. When water is more accessible and trees grow it can even improve the climate. It is wonderful having so many parks, but not whole regions blocked from anyone living there.
We're frequent campers and trail visitors in Big Bend/Indian Lodge, and the most dangerous animals are the badgers. Pumas/mountain lions are, too, but we only see shredded lion carcasses - by badgers - not the other way around. Maybe the pumas kill just as many and take the whole carcasses, but ranchers tell us, "no, badgers are The Most Dangerous." I have another nominee: skunks. Skunks in and around campgrounds. These are The Most Feared Of All Critter-visitors - not because they're deadly - but because people have WISHED for a speedy death after, uih, close encounters. Badgers, by the way, have a reputation of attacking vehicles, RVs, trailers, any ol' thing. Oh, the big brown Mexican/Golden Eagles may not move when they spot even a group of bicyclists on the roads. They issue a lot as if to challenge any human - "Ya wanna piece o' me?" with their skull-sized talons probably collection Predator-like carcasses for their nests.
(I LAFFED as other viewers did with the 'arrow pointed to Texarkana. Yeah... those folks have it tough with Arkies, Okies and Cajuns so close. REAL badlands!!)
build a house in a state park and see how long it takes for the park rangers or TXDPS to come a knocking at your door. As for no one lives int eh badlands, did you interview anyone in Marfa, Fort Davis, Marathon, Alpine, Lajitas, or Trelingua? Or on the mexican side, Loma de Juarez or Palomas? Guess where ALL of those towns are? The big bend badlands. As for Palo Duro - Ammarillo is RIGHT THERE - There is a Holiday inn Express right at hwy 87 on the road that goes to the entrance of palo duro.
The arrow in the thumbnail is pointing to Northeast Texas. Also, the state and national park systems frown on people trying to move in those parks. This video is just silly fluff.
100-Degrees and below 32-degrees (freezing)? Meh! Welcome to The Texas Hill Country, among other areas of The Republic of Texas. These are typical temperatures throughout Texas. It is not uncommon for Texas temperatures to hit 100-degrees, and hotter. Guess what? Life goes on, even when it hits 110+
towns----- "several miles away'? Is 'several miles away' considered a long distance from where this guy comes? Sounds like a resident of new york city.
Most towns (ie, roads that cross, with a convenience/food store, maybe with gasoline) are at least 30 miles apart for towns with 1,000 people or less. It's 60-miles apart commonly for Big Towns of 3,000 or more. Drive an hour, two or three for the nearest Walmart. OR FURTHER. High-school populations had deteriorated so much that a 30-mile radius might be 'school boundaries' and sports maybe travel 300 miles for some games. Each way. Leave at 10am for a 7pm tip... pack up by 10pm and arrive home at 6am. Face exams the next day. "But ya had all that time on the bus to study and write!!" Uh huh...
And forget healthcare and even pharmacies. But, heck, Roswell, NM patients and families will drive 4 hours to Lubbock for their hospitals rather than the longer drive to AlbQQ (Univ of New Mex Health Systems) which has more limited oncology support, and it's getting less and less each year.
Nice try.. People don't live there because they are legally NOT allowed to live there.. These places are NOT mysterious.. People visit them all of the time..
I thought about moving to the badlands of Texas, but then where would I get a Big Mac, order of fries, and a large Coca Cola? Do they have a McDonalds in those areas?
Yes, there's the "Lighthouse Rock McDonald's" where they bring food in by helicopter since the regular delivery trucks could never make the trip without falling off a cliff somewhere. So you should be just fine!
Palo Duro Canyon is 10-15 miles from Amarillo. The last time I checked it had a population of 200,000 and I know there are plenty of coffee shops including over 10 Starbucks.
