They don’t mention the show “Mountain Men”, where Eustace was a central figure. I actually liked the show and assumed it was just on hiatus. I wonder if it is done.
The show is coming back on in a few more weeks for a new season. Last episode last season he was hand delivering an answer to Watuaga County riding in on horseback.
It's the mans land. If he wants to live off grid it should be his right. BTW the man has enough smarts to have a hydro electric generator to operate a saw mill which is how he pays taxes etc. He also appears to be almost fanatic about the environment. His land his choice.
This sounds like someone with connections has seen the land and has said I WANT IT, YOU GET IT ROR ME to some local politican. Land like that to a developer for resorts and cabins etc is worth literally millions. But taken by the county could be obtained by the likes thereof for a song. TVA for example in Tennessee has done just that for many decades to private land owners. IOW I smell a rat.
