Is this true? Is Sanders County to isolated, remote part of the USA I have been looking for?
I have looked into other areas, but those are in other states like northern Maine, and northern Idaho, the Ozarks.
But in MT, it was Sanders County through my extensive research as I trekked through the internets.

Is Sanders County isolated? Is it remote? Or...not.

Depends on your definition of remote.

It is a beautiful place, lots of timber, wildlife, water, and around 12,000 people in the county.

There aren't freeways running through there, but it isn't hard to get to, and in the summer there is a lot of tourist traffic.
Lot of rugged terrain in the area.

Perhaps if you defined what you want someone could give you a better answer because there are a lot of places in Montana that "you can't get to from here".

If you are looking for places that are heavily timbered with good water, Sanders county is perfect, but if you are looking for isolation, not so much, at least by Montana standards.

For anywhere else in the world besides Siberia, yeah it is pretty remote.

I am looking for remote, secluded, and isolated. Basically I need a place to live where liberty and guns are allowed once the New World Order begins to enact martial law.

And yes I am being quite serious. Thank you for equally serious responses.

While locations in western Montana are more rugged, eastern Montana has far fewer people. So literal isolation may be easier to come by in eastern Montana, you may feel more isolated in the trees and mountains of western Montana.

Martial law(I hate it when people spell it Marshal, by the way, kudos to you, YIBT!) being what it generally seems to be(only seen it in other countries heretofore), and the NWO being what everyone says it is, Sanders county or other counties along the Continental Divide would seem to be good choices, since those peoples situated in rugged terrain seem to do better against modern weaponry and surveillance than those in more accessible places. Eastern Montana has less people from what I have seen but is pretty open in most places, good drone country, not to mention tanks(in the summer, at least). I like more timber, ravines, and rough country for hiding from the nearly ubiquitous satellites and drones these days.... Maybe you need to check out North Idaho. Plenty of rough country, thick timber, and lots of folks looking over their shoulders for drones and such for you to make friends out of. Take all this with a wheelbarrow of salt, of course, since I know little to nothing about hiding from the all-seeing eyes of the machine!

As an afterthought, maybe the internet isn't the best place to be if one is worried about the NWO, just saying.

Sanders County / Northern Idaho would be a good place to find folks with a similar mindset and concerns.
They are kind of clannish, not real welcoming of outsiders. There are a lot of remote valleys that would be good cover, but I really doubt someone would detail a drone for one person, so looking at areas with a lot of folks with the same values would be more advantageous with a higher percentage chance of finding your targets of opportunity.

The folks there would be very protective of their rights, and if you were looking for a community that would have unity against any takeover or loss of rights, it would be a good place for you.

The wide open spaces of Eastern Montana aren't really open plains like you would see in Texas or Nebraska. The Breaks and Badlands are tough country to maneuver in, especially if it is wet as the gumbo soil will clog up any wheel or track, plus the soil is so soft especially in areas where there is erosion, it wouldn't support a large tracked vehicle.

Lots of caves and hidden springs, lots of area to be lost in if someone is looking for you. If you are by yourself way out in the middle of nowhere, unless you are on the most wanted list or something, nobody is going to spend the money to task large amounts of expensive technology to find one guy.

The folks in Eastern Montana are very similar to the ones in the more rural west, very protective of their rights.

The forest and mountains do lend themselves to the traditional guerrilla style warfare, but Afghanistan should show you that it is the individual and their knowledge of the terrain that can make life difficult for organized military.

Even Hitler found out that trying to hold large expanses of empty territory through a severe winter is a no win situation when he invaded Russia in WWII.

I would say if you are looking for independent people who are pretty self sufficient, living in close communities with a world view similar to the OPs, pretty much any place in Montana away from the cities would be remote enough for that.

Personally, I don't really look for the Armageddon/government is going to enslave us all scenario, but at the same time I have very little use for the feds or trust.

Good Luck.

I suggest you read the book Strategic Relocation. It'll teach you where to go. The intermountain west is the safest to go when mayhem ensues.
