Am curious to know who owns all the properties comprising the places these folks have set up as home? Do they own it?

Watched The Boonies the other night on NatGeo and was pleasantly surprised, though I probably shouldn't have been being that it is a National Geographic production. The photography and the scenery were simply beautiful.
The series follows the lives of four people who live off the grid and away from society in general. Bear Claw lives the life of a mountain nomad in northern Idaho. Dan Burton and his family live on an island in the middle of Lake Michigan. Doc and Jeannie Leverett live in north-eastern Washington State above the ground in a tree house. And Joe Ray lives in the underground caves in northern Arkansas. Each of the parties, unique in their own way, weave a story of true American spirit and survival against the odds.
The first episode established the living arrangements and a brief back story for each of the series' regulars, setting the stage for the development of an interesting and exciting storyline.
Looking forward to following the series to see how successful these folks are living off, under, above and beyond the grid!

Having just discovered this program, I am truly enjoying a window into those featured persons lives! I get the impression that they are truly down to earth and are genuinely good people! I'd love to hang out with any one of them! Especially, because they don't kill anything as a trophy, they consume their hunted animals. Can only respect that! It's an awesome show! I only dream of living off the land!

People who move away from society most generally do not want to be movie stars. I know a few families including ourselves who lived and raised they're kids in Northern Idaho and NW Montana. kids peddled a stationary bicycle every Saturday morning to generate electricity so they could watch cartoons. And no, they were not skinny and under-nourished, you would have to be a real fool to starve in this country with the deer, elk, moose, porcupines, squirrels,game birds, fish..... Im happy this show aired and wish it was still on, Clearwater river and valley is a site to behold let alone the little mtn man guy, who is basically just a local living in a tee pee rather than a house! Maybe Bear grils will come and make you guys the kind of show you crave! lol...Mr.x
So far this show is awesome after 4 episodes! I believe you can learn a bunch after watching this show.
