Вставка

- Many newbies to the Big Island of Hawaii cant get over the fact that the price of land is so cheap on the south side of the big island and also dont understand why there arent more resorts or camp sites etc.

Mahalo for teaching people to come here how to act before they get here🙏🏽
You need a map to hold and point while you talk.
i agree~!!!!!......jeff is pretty good when looking for information on hawaii....sometimes i have to pull up google maps when he speaks lol.....
i love your vids, very well thought out and intelligent and looking at all points of views. being sensitive to culture and being fair to everyone.
I stayed in Na'alehu 12 years. Compass doesn't point north there! I learned a lot, it humbled me.
Jeff-I write/film a daily blog called 365 Things to Do in Kona...I don't touch upon alot of what you are trying to explain because it is a difficult subject, but you did a great job and I expected what I thought you were going to get in the comments, too. YOu have to have guts to write about the island on the internet!
hey Jeff. Can you make a video on good places to stay for people that are moving to the Big Island to live. Theres got to be some cheap temporary housing there somewhere.
Try the Manago Hotel in Captain Cook, this place is awesome, can get rooms as low as $40/, 100 year old traveling businessman's hotel from back in the day, family style meals, ocean views. www.managohotel.com Otherwise, AirBnB.
Brah, I have roots in Hilo (not native, Filipino and Portuguese) and everything you're saying is 100%. That land is different. Beautiful but that whole end of the island gives me chicken skin. Even my grandpa and grandpa used to say all the same stuff about Puna and South. They used to camp down there but there was always stories. That land is alive and has an energy. My recommendation to visitors is to stay in Hilo, Kona side, the north end, pass through the south side and enjoy the beauty and (mostly) delightful hospitality, but if you decide to stay there, don't be surprised when things change after dark. It's a different kind of land.
Great service you are doing; very informative. I was wondering about what you think about living on the Hamakua coast as well as Waimea/Kamuela on the Big Island.

YOU NON LOCAL INTRUDERS GO BACK MAINLAND!!!!! U INTRUDERS DON'T KNOW HAWAIIAN CULTURE N U INTRUDERS SO NOT KNOW HAWAII CULTURE!!!!!!
@@edelinaparesa353 you wanna see just who is the druggie and or thief on the big island? subscribe to www.nixle.com/ put your zip code in and have the police dept send you alerts on criminal activity. It may change your opinion. It has photos of the people they arrest. After seeing a few years of this, i avoid puna and hilo like the plague
I camped at Manuka Wayside park and had a good experience with a local rasta-mon. After he left we had the whole park to ourselves, slept under a tree, only complaint was the wind picked up and it was too cold for just a blanket.
I like the South Side. Smiley let's us stay at Green Lake and she's super cool. Her fruit stand is awesome and I highly recommend anyone going through the area to stop by. Of course the Tide pools are awesome as well. 11 days and then I'm living in Hilo. Crazy!
how safe is it to rent a Vacation home in the Big island
Yes feel the Energy this island has lots of MANA!
I’ve been in Hilo for 2 months now. Kinda over it. LOL. I’ve been spending a lot more time Kona side. Almost worth triple the rent. Might have to relocate.
This was very interesting. Can you go there & make a video & tell us your feelings at the same time?
People missing, but don't be afraid.
I studied lei making and collected some seeds from the parking lot trees at Whittington. My teacher freaked out when I brought them for ID. They were "be still " totally poison. What a weird tree to use as landscaping.
I'd like to visit the Big Island, however, would love me any haunted areas. I heard a lot about Mckenzie Park, scary stuff. Have you been there or camped there? If yes, have you witnessed anything creepy?
kalkeikuu kalkeikuu you can walk around anywhere down in that side of Puna and have some fun 😀
McKenzie has a haunted vibe...
I don't know about magnetism, but I do know about vog. More than other parts of the island, Kau and far south Kona get choked with vog. That's enough to explain it for me. And even if you have lungs/sinuses of steel, and you don't mind so much vog, dropping tons of money on property and improvements down there is risky given Mauna Loa's status, getting overdue for an eruption.
And I noticed that same abandoned golf course/tiki huts. Like a ghost town. Real weird.
The VOG has disappeared now already for 2 years.
since the (eruption)
good informative videos Jeff been subscribed now for about 6-7 months going to Big Island Hilo side sometime October November to look for land 2 - 3 Acre parcels are fairly cheap as far as off-grid goes Agland the better way to go it seems there are a lot of unpermitted structures do you have any suggestions I don't really need big government hassles,,,Paul and Jill
Bring really good rain gear, no joke.
Pavlo Ocean and I guess a four-wheel drive but should be able to tell how the properties take and hold water maybe better that I come during the rainy season what are you think
I would rent/live there before I buy, there may be 100 important things that are going to be different than what you envision how it's going to be, aloha!
Pavlo Ocean , plan was to stay 30 days they're on the big island in different areas to research soil depth mosquito wind plants that would grow at different elevations self-sustainability cell towers Etc you're right lots to consider maybe 30 days isn't enough and it just might have to buy a vehicle instead of rent one $1,000 for 3 weeks to a month is crazy it's $1,050 to get my four by four Toyota truck over there that may be the way to do it but then I would have to find somebody to store it for me , so much research to do time and money will be a big factor also one of the only saving grace is that I can build anything on or offgrid so labor is not a problem. thanks for the advice and information , Paul and Jill. Pavlo and Jeff My email is, paultorres49@gmail.com or if you go on Facebook and look up professor offgrid then pick Apolinar blas and you will see who we are instead of just a name across the bottom of a reply, send any info or advice you can time willing and it would be highly appreciated and someday would like to show up thank you guys in person , Paul . Fresno California soon Big Island
Howzit brah! Sounds like an exciting vision, and your skills should be ideal. Try to be patient, available land is not going away, I started looking at HI Ocean View Estates 30 years ago (great story) and not much has changed since. My experience = if your plans are "tight" on money, you are very likely going to run out. I've been to HI more than 25 times and also have a long term plan for the islands, maybe a little different than yours, I'm in California too, love it, have been to Fresno many times for projects, I'll send you an email, would love to keep in touch, I'll share more + learn from you. All of Hawaii is spectacular, AMAZING, enjoy brah!!!
hey jeff....you need a wall map of hawaii....and a pointer lol.....i want to move to hawaii....and would surely like to meet you someday.....
Fern Forest Vacation Estates...zillow
I love it down there, however when night time comes, I head back to Captain Cook lol
JJ is there a private way I can get a hold of you
You are correct sir. South end is very unique. I have Hawaiian blood, and I only visit during the day. South End is just spectacular to visit for day trips. Diving off cliffs is phenomenal. Visit farmers and village for food. But then drive back to Hilo.
Is it someplace you'd suggest living if your moving from the mainland?
Jeff, lot's have been less than $10K there for 50 years, no joke, there's a big secondary market , like time shares..... it's the weather ... rain and wind, rain, wind, rain, wind, rain, wind ... hey, was that the sun?, rain, wind, rain, wind, crime, rain, wind, crime, rain, wind. Aloha!

My dad has a bar in Pahoa, La Hiki Ola
Lol I live in the Pacific Northwest now but grew up on the Big Island...mostly Waimea side but my mom lived in Volcano...people from other parts of the US ask me how living in Washington is and isn't it really rainy..."not really" is my reply! I've seen rainstorms on BI that looked like literal buckets of water dumping from the sky. Check out those flood channels that run through Hilo town...something else when they fill up.
The locals of the Ka'u District, the southernmost district, of the south side of Hawaii Island will welcome with you in the spirit of aloha, basically unconditional love. They will respect you because they believe that "God" sent/brought you there for a reason. No, you will not to be boiled alive in a giant black pot by those horrible, racist locals (humor) like you might have imagined while viewing this video, but instead you will grow spiritually. There is a special energy there that strips people of their ego. In many cases visitors have to deal with important personal issues that surface all of a sudden. Visitors leave there stronger, more alert, and more enlightened. Slow down, respect the place, and you'll be just fine. It's not a "creepy" place -- it's a high-energy place. Your deep-seated repressed emotions might erupt, giving you the opportunity to do some emotional house cleaning/therapy. Your heart chakra might open, too. Aloha.
Well you speak of truth but definitely do not put your kids in public schools
What would you say to a young woman looking to buy a small lot of off grid land in South Big Island (ocean view/ puna). I'm an Australian with USA citizenship and want to live a sustainable self efficient life on big island. I am worried after hearing things on the Internet about Kau being "cursed", murders, crime and not being welcome by locals. What would you reccomend the south west side or south east side? :)
Yeah
I just bought a couple acres here in Oceanview.
I don't do the cursed thing much but yeah looking around I
do keep my eyes open. There are a few flaky haoles around too.
I met my first Pleiadian and she speaks in tongue too.
How is the weather in Ocean View?
i live in a small town by the pocanos in pennsylvania.. i hear a lot of people complain about how it used to be all farmland and wilderness but now it's all built up with malls and stuff because people from new york and new jersey are taking over. so idk, i would think more people would understand the dislike of tourists, but maybe it's one of those 'do as i say and not as i do' things
I moved there when I was was 12. It was terrible. They were really racist and try to fight me because i was white. They blame all white people for the loss of their country. It is understandable but it was not my fault
yep...whittington is potentially toxic....but it can be awesome
if i live in hawaii say kona and camp on the south side am i a local or is it just there hood??
It is their 'hood. Let the Hawaiians have their beaches and spaces.
I walked from the end of the road to the sea to kapua alone once. i dont recommend it for anyone but me
"Hills have eyes" funny you mentioned that movie. After WWII a large number of Marshall islanders who were displaced from their homeislands as a result of nuclear-testing radiation contamination, moved into the area integrated with land. Culture and have been living there ever since. Many of them are still seeing effects of the nuclear radiation in their children up till present. So you can very much expect to find some superheroes there that are still mad at CPT. America.
What's your opinion of Pohoiki park?
Its awesome
Going to South Point in particular ALWAYS gives me chicken skin.
bigislander72 ya but trying to explain Night Marchers to haoles is too humbug....
Love South Point...exciting
What about Puna... Keeau...mountain view.. Hawaiian paradise park.. etc... bad area or no
Living in puna is quite unpleasant
We heard plenty bad “word of mouth” about PUna and our neighborhood in Hawaiian PAradise Park. Have lived here 4 years and it’s been nothing but good! Great people, great home, made good friends. My only regret is bringing too many leather items. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@@50LOVESIT is there a small dating scene on big island?
How about in the puna region?
I'm a guy in my 20s and would hope to meet some nice young girls and I assumed that there are only old retired people that live there
Is Hawaii growing or losing population? If it's growing.. how much more civilization can it take
Its growing and thats not good. Oahu already has a few million people on it and Oahu is a small island.
Good news is that 70% of the land on this island is zoned ag/park/or volcanic zones. Not much more room for development
It might tip over from so many buildings.
You scared me anyway..."an eerie place"..."cruise on through"...."weird lava energy"..."somethings off"..."drugs and boredom"😐...
Thank you, and no thank you at the same time...Aloha
Let me guess volcanoes.
Hey JJ I want to tell you is it OK if I put a link to your site on my site? I know you want people to share but I always like to get consent from the actual publisher before I put a link on my Twitter, Facebook, and UA-cam channel. Just let me know by the way I love your videos keep them up I would love to share. Also do you have a Facebook link and a Twitter link?
Z2
Hey man yeah volcanos for sure are one reason. And yes sure you can link to the channel?
Camping, NO. Cycling, No. Taking short cuts across a lawn, NO. People do get murdered, it is all swept under the rug. You will know when you cross over into that twilight zone.
annieladysmith oh wow so scary
Do you have a Facebook or Twitter account and if you want I will post on your LinkedIn account if you have one of those regarding how good your videos are.
The more videos I watch about Hawaii , the more I’m questioning if I really want to vacation there . There are places I’ve traveled that are expectations vs reality ; some live up to hype , others are product of travel marketing :(
Sapiens Strength save your money, the locals are very ignorant and unfriendly. They steal anything that is not chained down. Drugs are rampant.
I would like to communicate with you though in DM because I have a lot of questions about HI.
Aloha
😂 southpoint looks so scary the ocean is a sea
Fascinating map predicts lava inundation when Mauna Loa erupts "An eruption on Mauna Loa is not imminent, but it will erupt again someday." bigislandnow.com/2017/10/27/volcano-watch-maps-identify-lava-inundation-zones-for-mauna-loa/
A few times every century, the southern flank of Mauna Loa "leaks" lava. Meaning all that lush green land gets wiped out by lava. Which is why it is thought to be "cursed." That is why there are no resorts there. That is also why the land is so cheap. If you buy land there with your hard earned money and lava comes along and covers said land, it becomes Public Land again and is no longer your private land.
Denise Kaneta so if you bought said land and have a mortgage on it and it gets covered by lava and becomes public land, do you still have to repay that loan?
Might be possible to go into that world if you're welcome, good to test it first. Ocean View sounds good to me, living on the Taos Mesa of New Mexico, off the grid. Sounds like a good place. On the side of a volcano. Heck yeah! Either that or Pahoa
haha, this video is funny. I think you're probably bringing a lot of those feelings on yourself. I love pahoa! no chicken skin and I feel totally welcome and get total aloha by locals. I bought my land for 6k, three years ago and it's already worth double that since the lava stopped. i move over in 11 days!
Same. Never a problem in Pahoa. I usually fire a spliff on the sidewalk and meet people.
Wild, Free and Me! Are you still living there? My wife and I plan to buy property this year. How is it there now?
South side’ Down soutH’
Sounds like you’re not anywhere near Hawaii right now.
By the way I’m loving your videos keep them up. Anyway you can email or direct message me a good realtor in Maui. I’m looking to get some information on getting a real estate license to sell property in Maui and I need a little bit of help. Any recommendations?
Zane Zulywitz sure
Email me freedomav14@gmail.com
Do you people not carry guns with you? This shit would never happen here in North Carolina. You'd be blasted away.
you bring the energy (go home)
you are wrong about the south point area.
For all intents and purposes, living in HI is like living in a foreign country. Nice people yes, but my experience is that the nicety is only skin deep. I've been told a few times to go back to my own country, for no reason. But I have never had any threats or violence because of that. Rewriters of history have induced a bunch of locals that the whites have stolen their land, culture, heritage etc, the usual hate the white man BS, and some are resentful as a result. The real problems here are the white druggie homeless freeloaders who have messed thins up for everyone. There are virtually no public restrooms here because these creeps abuse any and every hospitality or convenience provided for the public as is done on the mainland. It is also very expensive to live here. The standard of living is a big step down from the mainland generally, unless you have lots of money.
You might sound more intelligent if you planned out what you were going to say instead of randomly babbling.
Lisa Rodrigues that is true. If I ever started taking this more serious in terms of professionalism I would take the time to do that. I do agree
I like your style, having a conversation with a friend who's sharing what they know. Don't change a thing, and keep the videos coming.
Building a house in Captain Cook, everything you share aligns with our experience as well. Learning to fit in with the neighbors is the best thing you can do, it's a tight community, not like the anonymous mainland neighborhood we live in now.
I thought this was OK, as I listened while lighting my coal fire for the evening ........
Hell no. His videos are very authentic. No BS jump cuts editing and robotic voice. He's also naturally funny and doesn't take himself all serious like most people. Keep it up, Jeff!
I am elderly and have no plans to visit Hawaii but I enjoy your vids, your photography and pleasant descriptions of life in the tropics. Thanks for the entertainment. 8 - )
