Unboxing Wyoming: What It's Like Living in Wyoming

Does everyone in Wyoming chew tobacco?
Did everyone in Wyoming vote for Trump?
And could a Wyoming woman beat you up?
We’ll answer those questions and more. So pour yerself a glass of whiskey and get ready to rope some steer. We’re gonna darn tootin unbox the great state of Wyoming!
Well would you look at that. They’re extracting coal. Coal is a big deal in Wyoming. There’s a 1 out of 3 chance the energy used to power your home was mined in Wyoming. There’s also a 10% chance the natural gas you use was tapped here too. Wyoming is full of energy riches, and energy is what has defined this state for decades. Lots of people here in Wyoming rely on the energy sector for their jobs and way of life.
But Wyoming isn’t all coal and uranium miners or gas extractors. In fact, as we’ll see later, Wyoming is in trouble, financially, and its gonna need to diversify itself if it wants to prosper.
If we really want to get a feel for what Wyoming is like, we gotta get out of these coal fields and check out other areas of the state, too. That way, if you’re thinking of moving here, you’ll know where to go.
This is Wyoming.

I’ve lived in Wyoming my whole life, and yes, I can attest that we don’t really like it when people come and try to change things, just come and enjoy what we have, because while it might not be much, the ability to easily find a place to be alone is incredibly under appreciated until you find yourself sitting in a 10 foot tire watching the sun go down.

It would of been nice for him to mention the beadwork and art made by the locals sold at the store as well as the museum that hold stories and history of my culture. The pow wow is a big deal as well and many of us hold on to our old sacred ways and practice them today where we do sweat lodges and Sundance. The community also holds gatherings for people to learn how to make Gotzup (chokecherry gravy), There is also a Program where we can go to learn CrossFit. I was kind of annoyed that you under looked the reservation by just mentioning drugs and poverty and casinos.

he was talking about the general area. The truth is the truth. Drugs, gambling, and poverty envelope casinos. Because those habits coincide and are part of human nature, The same can be said for florida or Nevada. He didn't say the indigenous residents are responsible or that they have nothing to offer. People thinking of moving need to know the harsh truth. People visiting for tourism can look at sliver linings. i think he was fair in the way each area or district was represented. Miami has alot to offer but i would be lying if drugs and crime weren't prevalent.

Thank you for the good information of this state

[@joelayala7837]

Good Video. Moved to Southwest Wyoming in 2022. Love the peace and quiet commute to Salt lake for blue collar work. Cost of living is Great! Moved from CA and don't regret it a bit

[@prairie_dog_5443]

Beautiful state, no doubt. Questionable about jobs tho

[@oneofthesun7454]

There is a lot of work here.

[@ShmeekaDJ]

The amount of work is questionable and what you are looking to do. If you’re okay with heavy labor jobs then you’ll be okay but the remaining options are slim to none.

Grew up in Wyoming. Great place to be from. But there's no opportunity there, and the state isn't doing anything to brace for the inevitable energy industry crash. You can't rely on coal and oil forever. Diversification is essential for the people of this state. Just look to West Virginia for what's in store if everything remains status quo.

[@florkyman5422]

Its basicly impossible for oil to crash it makes too much. We have people pushing in legislation for crypto and we have block chain research. No one talks about that tho because wyoming is a place to be left alone and federal government doesn't like crypto.

This is hilarious! I live in upstate NY now but grew up in Northern Colorado. We felt the same way when we saw Wyoming license plates on I-25! Usually, some big pick up with 4 people in the front seat, all wearing cowboy hats, and a gun rack in the window.

[@alexiatorrez7680]

My husband went to Jackson, Wyoming in July. A worker from the Snake Grill told him cost of life is becoming to expensive. People starting to move out to small towns because living close by a mayor city is difficult to afford.

[@ShmeekaDJ]

It’s interesting reading the comments about Wyoming and Wyomingites. I’ve been here 29 years and lived in the south east end of Wyoming. About to actually move honestly. Also, in the video at 20:50 Holland explains Wyoming the most realistic and respectful way.

[@microcolonel]

FWIW I am a tech lead in a startup, and I love it here. I grew up in three major Canadian cities and it always felt like my options were shrinking and everything was getting more expensive while also getting worse. Cheyenne is a proper city with amenities, and I love that the broad public knows guns and speech, and respects the constitution whether or not the feds do.

[@patticampana9458]

Thanx Nick. Knew nothing of Wyoming. Love the state knowledge!😊

I loved Wyoming! Old faithful, Cody Wyoming, all were amazing.

[@nathanielthrush5581]

Wyoming is kinda like if a lot of Texas stereotypes were actually real, where everyone works in energy, everyone is a Republican, and almost everyone dresses like a cowboy. I guess the main difference is the weather and the accents.

[@NickJohnson]

Yes Nathaniel

I live in Northern Colorado just 55 minutes from Cheyenne and so I drive up to Wyoming fairly often with Prius with Colorado plates. Oh! That explains the dirty looks I get!

As an Englishman, I found this video really interesting! I’d love to visit the state and stay on a ranch for a few weeks and do some horse trekking. It seems like somewhere where you can completely disconnect from modern life. Thank you very much for making the effort to make this video!

I'm moving to green river area. Live cheap and spend my retirement years using the SW corner as a traveling hub. So it's not just cowboys and miners. It's also Hikers and campers. That is growing quickly in the country as people are searching for stunning areas to visit.

[@jackpleier5534]

I’m a Cheyenne resident, there are quite a few tech companies i the Cheyenne area. Microsoft has a data center here, and a second is planned to start construction. Echostar is located east of cheyenne, they employ close to 200 people, Walmart and Lowe’s have distribution centers, UPRR, Frontier refinery all employ lots of people. Wyoming gives lots of opportunities.

[@florkyman5422]

It isn't the massive stuff you would hear about in the papers. It's an issue of comparison when scale is so different.

I grew up in Rock Springs. As an Asian, I had to pretend to be an Indian to avoid being harassed and bullied. In RS HS, we had the Chicanos, Cowboys, the Jocks and then few Heads. But the keggers were very memorable. We also camped and hunted a lot. Western Wyoming is very pretty and caters to outdoors enthusiasts (Big Piney, Pinedale, Dubois). The night skies are simply amazing there. But the wind will drive you crazy as I don't recall a day without wind.
