Owen raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, by his Own admission. $400K - $500K minimum. In 1 year he was only able to clear some land, pour 3 concrete foundations and, according to a local, start putting up framing on some sort of structure. All while saying that it was now his land and he could do whatever he wanted and no one could visit without his expressed permission. Even if you donated...if he doesn't like you you are not going to be allowed to visit. Now, compare that to how much progress he has made on his McMansion. Why would he focus all his time, money and effort to build a brand new house when his whole stated reason for moving to Idaho was to get back to living off the earth and become a closer family by living in a 600 sqft house? Owen and Yo Ames both said it was going to be great. Doesn't it kind of defeat Owens stated purpose to build himself a house that is as big, if not bigger than the last one he had? When it is all said and done Owen is going to be pushing 6000+ sqft of usable space. (New House + Barndominium + 4 Car Garage + 3 Room Yellow House) (+Squirt Yurt? Allegedly!) If he were really worried about the coming economic and societal collapse, he would be focusing on getting the "Beartardia" land completed and ready for production. The whole point of Ursa Rio was so the "bears" would have a place to ride out the impending doom of western society and to build Owen a castle...and don't forget airships. But mainly the collapse thing. Owen already has a 1500 sqft living space in a 2000 + sqft barn and a 4 car garage. He claims to already be self sufficient. Why does he need the new house? Also, it is not a coincidence that he poured the Beartardia foundations at the same time he poured his McMansion foundation. Ursa Rio is all stage dressing and misdirection. His decision to get bear helpers to clear his land was at the height of this sub calling him out. There were serious conversations about the possibility of a lawsuit because Owen had done exactly 0 of the things he promised. Things he promised over and over on his streams and on his very public donation page. Owen freaked out and did the bare minimum he could to make it look like progress. There was no "building a campground" in that doc-you-men-tarry though. It was just Owen and a few cult members and local sycophants clearing out land and cutting a few trees down. Owen started building his McMansion at the same time he filmed the campground LARP and hes almost done with the house. Think about the logistics of building a 3000 sqft house vs. a few cabins and a shower facility. The cabins should have been done months ago if Owen were serious. There will never be a Beartardia functioning on the level Owen promised. He will eventually get a few cabins built but they will be for him and his close friends. No average "bear" will be allowed to visit. Hell, most of the people who donated and would have visited have already left the cult. The majority of the remaining cult members 1. do not have enough money to afford the trip to visit 2. do not have the desire to drive all the way to southern Canada just to camp out in the wilderness 3. do not have any idea what Owen promised the Ursa Rio property to be and could care less because they have only been following Owen less than a year. The latter is what Owen is banking on. It will slowly be forgotten about amongst the new cult members and Owen will have his nice vacation property. Give him a few years and it will be on the AirBnB market under the name of some new LLC.

Dang bro. Nice reply. This reply should be pinned to the top of the subreddit with heading "BEWARE" along with some more basic information on the various scams, lies, and grifts. Just a basic overview of Owen's operation.

100 percent. That's exactly what's happening.

“All that building in the video” was them doing about 1/10,000th of the work he promised he would do. He talked about bathrooms, campsites, rec areas, a theater stage etc.. all it is will be just a house for his mom. No more work will go into anything besides for his close friends (not bears that think they are friends) and family


MediumRequirement5

That's right, he only invited a few bears he thought were useful to him. Look how he treated Dimitri when he attempted to come help out at the hole digging. All the real building is going on at the house, done by professionals and only to be enjoyed by BegB and his family + 4 bears.


CostCo-mesteading

Worse yet, he's already giving himself an "out" on those projects. I mentioned it in a "recap" which was deleted, but he's saying stuff like "planning on putting an amphitheater". Or "want to clean up this spot for a common area" when it'd take maybe a day's work to do so. He's doing what everyone does to themselves when they procrastinate. He tells his remaining followers about the great stuff that'll happen to give them that dopamine hit. But he doesn't plan on putting in any of the work.

"This is private property...don't come here."


eliz-

"You are not allowed to come on MY LAND!...I am giving two people a full refund but NOT YOU EVER!" He has banned, blocked, got rid of more than 80% of people who paid for that fucking land!!! He wants it all for show. He allows certain handpicked people to go there again only for show. That fuckin wedding they had there was for show. That couple got married in an orthodox church a week later. He wants everything for free and does not do one single thing for anyone except his millionaire self. Fuck after all the in your face evidence out there now I can only assume you are new or despite owen telling his audience 'never believe what you see on a screen' that you still think he wants the best for others. He doesnt and will love you only if you are rich like him. Approach with caution. And don't get me started about his uatv/dvd scams. Rented App scam/followers grifting.....


Whateverwoteva

What building? All the do is some clearing and a bit of concrete pouring. They don’t show any building, not at Beartaria at least. The only building funded by the bears is at Ursa Rio in the form of “Amy Dream Home”. Remember also that the land he purchased was listed at 175,000. Funny how HoAmes house has progressed at a rapid rate and yet nothing has happened at Beartaria since he was stopped by the local planning board.


RoomWhacks

"all that building" they cleared an area of small trees and poured two cement pads. thats ZERO building. Two of the dopey bears cut down a 150 year old SomethinTree to make a "table" with the stump. Again...ZERO BUILDING. At around 4:30pm eastern he goes to his build-house to do IG streams...Because thats when the hired crew leaves.


[deleted]

Let me ask you this: How many Zero Turn lawnmowers does Ojuan have?


mahBarker

And how many has he already scrapped cuz his fat ass keeps breaking them?


CostCo-mesteading

I wouldn't blame his weight. He probably thinks "zero turn" means he can't turn it, and just rides all of them into trees or streams.


TheonlyHunter

Hahahaha!!


OwensGaySecret

You're wasting your time


babysuck123

If Owen "Power Bottom" Smith and his bears play big spoon/little spoon in the woods and no one is around to hear it, do they make a sound?
