This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. Today, in a special edition of this column we’re featuring freely-available public web cams available for viewing throughout the American Redoubt region. These can be a lot of fun to view–especially those featuring wildlife. View them in winter can also give you some insights on climate and weather in the region as well as skiing conditions, airport runway/taxiway condition, and road conditions.

Great idea! I really enjoyed the Idaho wildlife cam, so cool to see all that wildlife in one area.
Yes, the clarity of the pictures is astounding.
I am most grateful you posted these, JWR.
Carry on
Thanks for posting links to the webcams. People who want to move here need to see what it’s like year round. Our local golf course is groomed during the winter with snow shoeing paths. A family member sent me a gorgeous, utterly fantastic, picture of Lake Payette (McCall) yesterday afternoon as the sun finally broke through the overcast clouds. One of the most beautiful places on earth. We’ve actually had very little snow so far. I’m wondering if we’re going to get pounded come next quarter! LOL.
A trailhead to a sweet little warm spring (Tin Cup) starts from the Johnson Creek airport. One of my favorite areas of Idaho. We head up for the Harmonica Festival every year.
Webcams can serve as an early warning system for both natural and man-made events. Weather, fires, angry mobs can all be detected in the vicinity of webcams. As demonstrated from MILES and miles away. Keep Your head on a swivel….
Some might deride wildlife video instantly placed in TheWorldWideWeb as ‘invasive!’.
Some will probably rebut, claiming ‘they are only animals!’.
Others might say these wilderness webcams are conditioning us for other webcams.
Perhaps in urban areas.
Public areas controlled by TheGovernmentAgents.
I could see this trend continuing.
Eventually, inevitably, I expect webcams outside the doors of mens restrooms.
With a timer to authoritatively establish the likelihood of the user worshing his hands… a loud buzzer with flashing alert-lights indicating a ‘do-over’.
Nosirree.
I would not put it past them.
I have many trail cams out and have literally thousands of amazing videos of Elk, Moose, Mule Deer, Whitetail deer, coyote, wolf, bobcat, mice, owls, eagles, fox, skunks, weasels, mountain lions, ducks, geese, raccoons, squirrels, birds too numerous to mention, bears, and…two legged trespassers, all of which have received a visit from local LEO’s.
Webcams and links are great. Thanks. Merry Christmas!
With all the talk about webcams being a great idea, I would warn you that this is a very very bad idea. Sure it’s nice to see what different places look like if you have an intent on moving there, (you will never really know unless you visit there & view firsthand) what traffic conditions are if you are gong over a pass or whatever, game cameras, downtown views of whatever city.
Consider that this is merely a step in “conditioning” the public to be on camera and “MONITORED” 24/7. What will be the end result? A household camera direct to a data monitoring center seeing if you are awake or asleep, being burglarized, your home broken into. All for your “SAFETY”, monitored by gov of course…..
Have you all forgotten so soon the results of the last obvious election fraud?
Whats the next step, snitching on your neighbors for positive “social credits” and access to food, fuel, electricity. Think back a mere 76 years ago when the nazi party started their accent to power. This is definitely not the direction a free people need choose, even if webcams are fun, technology will be the downfall of us all… Just sayin, be careful what you wish for, it may not be all that it’s being sold as…. Technology is a tool, it cannot be and never was a cure all……
Long live our Republic and all it stands for….
And I’m also an advocate of bringing back the days of buying firearms, ammo, dynamite, and every other tool known to man at the local hardware store.
And Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year to everyone.
Amen, NS
Oh my gosh!! I’m bookmarking the Wyoming trail cam one! I could watch that for hours 🙂
Thank you for posting links, it made my day
Have a Rockin great day
Almost time to get me some more Rocky Mountain way!
Cameras creep me out
One that I look at often, so I can see what the weather conditions are, pretty much all the way across the state from the southeast to the northwest, (Web Cams on Route-U.S. 287) this almost covers from Cheyenne over Togwotee Pass to the South entrance of Yellowstone Park. Trekker Out
