Last night we got 5" of snow, very wet Spring snow, shut down the interstate and many other state highways. Winter starts in late September usually and stickes around till April. If you don't mind 6-7 months of winter, it's the place to live. I've finally retired and Nevada is starting to look good. I live in a tiny town of 450 and my property tax jumped 15% due to the multimillion dollar homes being built in my area, and they are developing land, ripping out wilderness areas and creating terrible traffic issues, not to mention the amount of search and rescue operations because people are stupid and take snow machines out in a white out blizzard, or go somewhere they should not be.

Since moving here my neighbors have been nothing but kind from literally repairing my vehicles and offering to pay costs to welcome gift baskets and a literal packet of everyone's numbers and services they offer since it's a little outside city limits. Theyre almost too kind because I went out of town once and came back the same day to the police at my home because my dogs had been barking and they thought I was dead!

"People move from Wyoming to California too derp". Every video you make this dumb analogy,and every time the entire mountain west rolls our eyes. 3 percent of people moving from Wyoming to California does literally nothing to change politics or culture. 3 percent of Californias moving to Wyoming, turns the state from red to blue. We get it Briggs, you're from California and have a bias. But those of us who have watched transplants change things arnt buying what you're selling. If a million cowboys move to California and turn the state red,the folks there would be just as angry. Talk to folks from these states instead of looking at a spreadsheet

Exactly, it’s a number’s game and it sucks. I think people are seriously underestimating the impact that Californians have on the Mountain West. Bozeman in Montana is unrecognizable these days due to Californians. It has gotten so bad in Bozeman that housing costs in Bozeman are now similar to San Francisco! Colorado is now just California in the mountains. I don’t think Briggs have been out to the Mountain West enough to understand this. 70 years ago, Colorado was more like Wyoming! Today, it almost twins Southern California. The traffic, homelessness, crimes, etc. Californians are changing the Mountain West one by one! Colorado’s gone, Idaho is next, Montana is after Idaho, Utah, and then Wyoming! Give it another 50 years. I just hope I don’t live that long to see my state (Montana) turning into California. I’d rather be dead than seeing that happening to my state!

A while back I moved to Wyoming from Oregon. Some comments: Animal damage: I hit a deer on the highway, many near misses. Almost hit a grizzly bear with 2 cubs. I also had a grizzly on my back porch, checking out the bar-b-que. But what's the problem? Wildlife is one of the main reasons to appreciate Wyoming. BTW the fish and wildlife "service" is insufferable. And ranchers should be able to shoot wolves giving them problems. The federal government screws everything up. Cold and snowy: I grew up in Wisconsin so I didn't consider it that cold or snowy. I got by, with some inconvenience, with non-studded tires in a 2WD station wagon. The snow falls in Wyoming, then blows to Kansas. BTW we had a good heavy snowfall in Cody in April or May, one year. Jackson: I remember reading that the average home price in Teton County was $400k or $500k, while the average in the rest of the state was like $120k. Teton County is largely for rich assholes. Hunting: If you kill an elk, a grizzly is fairly likely to take it away from you. A shot is like a dinner bell for them. Don't leave your .44 Magnum revolver at home. BTW Wyoming is seriously gun-crazy. If you don't like guns, you shouldn't come there. Small towns: Wyoming, more than anything, is a small town state. Sometimes Californians move in and build a house on a ridge somewhere, spoiling the view and causing absurd utility bills when the winter rolls around. Smart people look for sheltered places to stay out of the wind. But why live out of town anyway? You should live in one of those small towns. Do try to fit in; you will be a lot happier. Wyoming is full of friendly people, if you respect them and deal straight with them. Do It Yourself: You have to be able to fix things yourself, if you live there, Either that, or pay huge piles of money to get a drunk repairman on site. Internet: I had to go to my neighbor to ask if I could mount a Wimax dish on a hill on his land and run a cable to my home. Of course he agreed. But the performance was not impressive.

I lived in Wyoming over half my lifetime (35 years). I still have family in Cheyenne and Cody. Wyoming has no income tax and fairly low sales taxes, but understand: you get what you pay for. Wyoming is INCREDIBLY "conservative", and incredibly white (outside of Riverton/Lander/Wind River). Public policy is driven by the very wealthy, who really just don't like paying taxes, and by polluting industries like oil and coal. Example: A friend took video of the oil industry illegally dumping fracking fluids into Crow Creek outside of Cheyenne and exposed the practice. Wyoming's response? They criminalized filming such violations.

[@PeakBagger999]

It’s the Devil’s Tower in eastern Wyoming.

[@MsSunnyDenise]

I can’t believe you thought that was Mount Shasta! 🤣🤣

[@ShermanMark1]

Mount Shasta is a potentially active volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California. Not even near Wyoming.

[@alonsolaw8380]

Come on. Mt. Shasta is a very nice quiet town in sissykiyou California it does get snow but nothing like Wyoming. It's a popular tourist and their is a lot to there. It's not bad at all.

[@tarnel9]

Never had I the most chapped and dry hands except when I visited Wyoming in March.

[@WorldAccordingToBriggs]

Right?! I spent January - April in Wyoming back in the early 2000s. If it was exposed, it was chapped.

[@Wyoboy7220]

​@WorldAccordingToBriggs 😂yep toughen you up that's for sure. Thanks for the video

[@davidgentile5225]

retired US Army, helping people is my thing, it's why i always carry an EMT bag, build rifles, teach reloading and other NRA classes, once the wife retires we're headed to Gillette. Especially prefer the demographics i've read about, no gang mentality, no tolerance for ignorance. Will definitely volunteer to work with EMT's, LEO's when we get there. Former B-4 SSI, best was 1428m.

Reasons for me to move to Wyoming, I have no allergies, I love the cold winters and winds. I love the nature and all the expanse.

[@DavidS-pd8ql]

If you are going to live in Casper Wy make sure you drive a car because the bus system here sucks it runs every two hours for each stop.

[@fuzzy3440]

Ragweed pollen is like soy milk compared to the ashe juniper pollen in the Texas Hill Country.

[@damienjackson7534]

I think the reasons not to move to Wyoming is because, it’s 1. Boring 2. It’s isolated 3. Weather extremes. Cold in winter, hot in the summer, it’s windy, up and down temps. 4. No job opportunities.

[@ginakelley749]

Wyoming isn't for everybody!

[@randybegley1964]

Love the Are we not men album in the background. I was rocking that on the way to the fireworks show tonight in Auburn, CA. Get it, git it, GOOOD!!!

[@lindaharrison3240]

Thanks for pointing out the allergy situation. Most people wouldn't even think of this...until they got there and couldn't breathe because of allergies. Wyoming would be a good starter state for people who want to move to Alaska. Remote, cold, financially unstable, unfriendly.

[@jeffmead4670]

@lindaharrison3240 I live in Wyoming and I used to live in Alaska, nice people with deep life long friendships, yes the winters are a bit cool but it's not a game changer in either place, both states are incredibly beautiful. Probably best to stay wherever you are now.

[@sheaview8427]

I have lived all over the U.S., and now Wyomng. Illinois was snowing, windier, and felt colder than here. We also disliked the area and the people. Also, compared to the upper peninsula of Michigan, we are not in the dark from October to May, nor are we snowed in for days.

[@Bandit1978]

We have very fast internet in Casper. I have Gig internet with the cable company and we also have fiber that can reach 5 gigs

[@NBZW]

Love Wyoming! Was sitting in my truck at Independence Rock freezing my ass off, wind blowing a hurricane up pulls a pickup with a young family aboard, all dressed in white T shirts. How can one not love it?

[@mattdecker6791]

Our slow move from CA to WY has taken 2.5 years and we are almost done. Ninety-five percent has been positive. However, some WY folks won't like you because of where you are from. We try hard to be the best neighbors possible as newcomers to our community.

[@dandockham3793]

Because Wyoming doesn’t want to turn into Colorado! California (urban liberal policies) have made California a pit and transplants have turned Colorado blue and it is going to the shitter! Fair or not on an individual basis it is a real concern. Jackson Hole is mostly transplants and not really “Wyoming” and I was born there

[@VideosOffRoad]

​@@dandockham3793Laramie is bad enough, but Jackson is a downright cancer these days.

[@jeffmead4670]

No one cares about what race you are, they care about where you are from, if you're from California then you need to make sure and assimilate to Wyoming ways, if you start acting like a California liberal your welcome will be worn out very quickly, as it should be. Life will become very unpleasant very quickly.

[@tman3831]

Yeah the area code will definitely have those of us with businesses charge you more. And we tend to ask anyone we don't know "where are you from" in just about any first conversation regardless of your phone number or license plate... we just have to be sure we are charging you accordingly and talk about you once we leave your place or you leave our shops

[@jaylaplant8308]

I moved out of Wyoming to Pennsylvania and have the phone issue. My phone is 307 area code and it’s not gunna change but I’m always getting word like when I show my id or when I call someone

[@stevemoore9951]

GREETINGS FROM THE PPRC GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL.

[@onrycodger]

I was fortunate enough to spend some time touring Wyoming last Spring. And loved it. One of my favorite towns was Thermopolis. They have wonderful mineral springs. And aren't bashful about sharing them. 😎💙💯👍

[@codyakers5584]

I thought of moving here but im on the east so im alot closer to alabama im four hrs from Alabama and im like one day an 2 hrs from wyoming

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

yeah Wyoming is like Vermont, they dont like outsiders, they are very inward turned culture and the are very unwelcoming to anyone outside no mater their purpose for moving to the states.

[@tman3831]

You are correct

[@jar_of_nonalcoholic_gin]

Yes.

[@BoiDreamer]

Any potential for video on people who want to live in a place during summers. Remote worker etc

[@jeffmead4670]

There are tons of summer workers here in Wyoming, the ones that do the best financially are the ones with camper vans or small motorhomes. In Jackson they create enormous obstacles for summer workers though. A lift attendant only makes around $100.00 a day and they have to pay between $35.-$45 a day in parking fees , the rest of Wyoming is great though.

[@Ethyro]

I mean this vid just made me want to move there even more

[@tman3831]

You shouldn't

[@jaylaplant8308]

Everyone saying “it’s beautiful, oh I went to Jackson or Yellowstone” a 1/4th of the state is pretty. The rest is literally dry dusty flat, miles of nothingness and it gets extremely hot in the summer. It’s a dry hot no rain. If you like rain and warm spring feelings. You won’t get that in Wyoming. And people are close minded and rude. They have one of the highest suicide rates and bullying rates in the United States for the sake of your own well being don’t move there - signed a wyomingite

[@JLAvey]

I would have thought not wanting outsiders would be number one or two, just for the sake of preserving the Wyoming lifestyle. Yes, shocker, locals don't want outsiders trying to push their views upon them. It doesn't matter how immigrants vote, they are still going to try to bring their ways with them.

[@sethb9545]

It depends on who you are if they except you or not .

[@gregwilliams386]

You can fly from Casper to Denver or Salt Lake, then get a connecting flight to Chicago or NY.

[@Biffwellington4518]

Saw your Dubois bit on best rural towns. I have to agree...I absolutely love Wy but getting my Tx wife to handle the cold at this point in our life would be a stretch.

[@manfredmann2766]

Dubois is beautiful, stayed there twice, great in the summer.

[@jeffmead4670]

@Biffwellington4518 I actually live in Wyoming and until I saw this video I never really thought of it as being cold, there's just so many things to do that I never really noticed it or thought of it as being cold.

[@jalepeno5903]

I’m sure somebody already mentioned this, but currently or recently, WY has the highest rate of suicide per capita of any state.

[@thepinkthunderbird]

When you only have 500,000 people that tends to skew data.

[@jeffmead4670]

Those are mostly just Californians so it's not data that matters.

Plenty to do if you like Nature.

This was a great state to live in during the 1950's & 60's when the population was less than 300,000. Wyoming is becoming overcrowded..

Yeah, trying to find a place to fish sucks here. You gotta drive 30min-1hr and if you're lucky, it isnt already overfished.

One of the best albums ever. Top 100 in my opinion.
