They've done it. They have decolonized some land for themselves.

Hopefully they are all charged by the state for the cost of their rescue come Dec

In that little video clip it looks like they are "building" their first structure in a gully. Do they not know why the gully is there in the first place? Can't wait for that first flash flood to happen. Should be entertaining.

And even the government should know you can't farm 10,000 feet above sea level.

LOL. Single 2x4 across a gully at a level that will get easily washed away. These people have no idea what they are doing. A decent DIY bridge across that is going to cost them a fortune, especially when they have to keep rebuilding it.

The show, featuring 40 children aged 8 to 15, was filmed on location at the Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch, a privately owned town built on the ruins of Bonanza City, New Mexico, 8 miles south of Santa Fe.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Nation#cite_note-TVWeek-4][4][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Nation#cite_note-5][5][/url]
The show stresses the difficulty in creating a viable society. While each child received $5,000 for their involvement, Gold Stars valued at $20,000 and $50,000 were awarded to select outstanding participants as decided by the elected Town Council.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Nation#cite_note-6][6][/url]
Speaking before an audience of television reviewers, producer Tom Forman acknowledged that Kid Nation would inevitably share some elements with William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies, which depicted planewrecked children without adult supervision. Adults were present off-camera during production, including cameramen, producers, a medic, and a child psychologist, although all interacted with the children as little as possible. Participants also missed a month of school, but Forman suggested that such real-world tasks as preparing a group breakfast, doing physical chores like fetching water, and making group decisions constituted an educational experience in its own right. Forman said that all participants were cleared by a team of psychologists and any child could choose to go home during any of the periodical town meetings, which three did.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Nation#cite_note-LATimes-2][2][/url]

If Al Gore hadn't made the internet so racist, they'd be able to navigate it and find a DIY on building a bridge.

But....NOOOOOOOO!

On the plus side, I see where a guy could pick up 200 acres of land in Colorado pretty cheap. Probably in January or February.

If I remember correctly, Colorado is the strictest state about people collecting rainwater for household use.

There's a thread right now on the outdoors board about this exact thing. You are right about the strict water laws. I'll repeat something I said on that thread which is we bought a small ranch last year in Colorado and had to retain a water attorney to make sure irrigation rights were all good. There's also the rainwater collection stuff you alluded to.

Most importantly for these guys is digging the well. There's land real cheap in Colorado in some parts but in every case I've seen it's because there's no water to be had when digging a well.

They may not also realize that a lot of Colorado is high desert and by the looks of those pics they are in the middle of that which makes the water thing exponentially more important.
