I hope this is snuffed out swiftly. Truly ridiculous IMO

Right out of the Alaskan Bush People playbook....

Sounds like they need a new sheriff down there. Hopefully the locals get this junk off of public lands asap.

The documentary on Netflix of that Jeff’s guy was nuts

What happened with the bush people? They were filming up north of me here in WA for a few years, heard lots of funny stories about them but never paid much attention or watched the show.

Typical blue state politics supporting squatter “rights”

I'm sorry - the USFS is negotiating with these people for a settlement of some kind? Can someone please explain to me what exactly is going on here, I read the article several times and feel like I'm missing a big piece of the puzzle. How are these people getting away with this??

What is this “Free Land Holders” committee? Are they sovereign citizens?

Same TBH. I just picked up that they’re building fence on public land and alleged to have blocked public land access, but the sheriff denies it’s happening.

WTF!!! The sheriff seems like he’s part of the lunacy. I’d be hand in hand with the fence pullers.

Sounds like a great place to go dirt biking in the middle of the night.

Sounds more to me like the “red” sheriff is supporting them.

I'm speechless.
