[@krisedward8447]

Wyomings population will never go up much it never has. Colorado has 5 million and Wyoming has 500 thousand. I promise people struggling there has absolutely nothing to do with that. You can't build huge city's in the mountains that easy. Wyoming doesn't have much of the plains in the state so no huge city's have been built like Colorados city's. Colorado has more plains in the state and that's why those two states population and city's are extremely different even tho they are both similar states it's the fact Wyoming is mostly mountains and Colorado is pretty much half and half. Start there with why Wyomings population is being kept down lol. Educate yourself watch some more videos or something because your statement is practically false. Yes people struggle there but people aren't what makes a states population go up. Residents do and even better city's really do. You need to build for "people" to be residents and build to create city's. Simple stuff and I'm not that educated I'm sure national parks and super volcanoes and other stuff don't help either. We are talking about the least populated state here... Lol people struggling smh ignorant ignorant ignorant or maybe you aren't maybe you are just agreeing with what someone else said without doing any bit of research or thinking at all I'd call that I guess gullible? Idk lol either way let me know when a city starts being built I might move there oh wait no I won't yellow stone scares the shizzle nizzle out of me. Natural disasters scare me lol alot of states I won't move to because of them haha. Not funny tho. God bless America and God bless the planet!!

[@thomasschellberg8213]

@@krisedward8447 Wyoming is actually fairly safe from natural disasters. Snowstorms shut things down in the winter, but usually for a short period. Severe thunderstorms, earthquakes, tornados and floods are uncommon, and hurricanes are nonexistent. Forest fires are a problem, but only in the mountains. They rarely encroach on the cities and towns (unlike California). The Yellowstone caldera is low risk. It could blow in the next few years, or maybe not in the next few thousand years.

[@gregparrott]

I don't live in California. But I'm quite able to recognize a narrow mind when I see one. Try broadening yours. In 60+ years, I've seen homeless in dozens of states. The three main reasons San Francisco and the west coast in general have so many homeless are: 1) The Pacific west coast has temperate climate year-round. It very rarely freezes, the rain is generally modest and seasonal, and the Summer heat is mild. Being on a peninsula, San Francisco is especially mild. That makes it much easier to survive outdoors, year-round. 2) It is both good and bad, but the west coast states have far more social programs to aid the homeless. Many homeless flock west, leaving states which are too indifferent to provide social programs to address their own in need. The bad part as it relates to cities like San Francisco, is: "If you build it, they will come". The homeless largely know the programs and sensitivities for the homeless are greater there and as a result, have utterly swamped the available resources. I just Googled for number: Last year, San Francisco alone spent $672 million on the homeless issue. It's in the billions for the Bay Area. My bet is $672 million is more than half of the states spend on the issue. If they only supported those from California, they could readily handle it. But they can't handle the influx (i.e. the 'contamination' as you call it, originating from other states that won't do their part. 3) The west coast states generate a revenue surplus for the feds, making them more capable of providing the programs which other states lack. The last chart I saw ranked California as providing the largest net tax surplus for the federal government, while Kentucky was the largest net recipient of federal subsidies on a per capita basis. I worked for three years in Nashville, starting in 1980. Guess what? They had a homeless problem, even back then. But there were essentially no programs. In three years, I saw homelessness covered only once on the local TV news, and poorly at that. Nashville commonly gets a few weeks of freezing, icy conditions in Winter, and was the case when a reporter stood on a dark street on Christmas eve. She mentioned there were homeless downtown and preceded (with bright camera lights and camera crew in tow) down a dark, trashed alley. She then knocked on a large cardboard box. A person popped out, clearly awakened and squinting in the lights. The reporter asked how it felt to be living on the street. Satisfied after getting an expected response to her exceptionally dumb question, she then walked away. Maybe these days a reporter would at least mention aid groups or solicit viewers to help.

[@vectorm4]

@@gregparrott It is my intention to NOT get in and back and forth in this forum. But there are at least two sides to every issue. I would say look at the FACT of the conditions I previously mentioned, then BROADEN YOUR mind and extrapolate the possibilities. Or, you may remain in your own mind that everyone else is wrong.

They tried to adapt their old life style to a ranching community and where on the verge of failing when they finally realized that being part of a ranching community means respecting the community for what it is. This means smart grocery shopping, learning to be self sufficient, supporting community events like FFA and 4-H and being a good neighbor.

[@snailsfrogslegs119]

One additional thing that I would mention: the elevation (especially southeast Wyo). Thin air lacks oxygen and over time it thickens the blood and can cause major health issues if you have circulation or heart problems. I have seen older people come for a visit (especially Laramie 7200ft and Cheyenne 6k ft the highest cities) and have to call an ambulance for altitude sickness or even die because of the elevation.

Great video! I love Wyoming, have lived here for about 40 years, and have worked throughout most of the state (I am in health care and travel to fill in when others are ill or on vacation.) We don’t have enough population base here to support some medical specialties, but what is here works well for common problems. If you have significant health issues and want to live in Wyoming, living near Cheyenne is probably your best bet, as it has a reasonably complete range of specialty care and is within 50 miles of an even larger system in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Being near Casper is probably your second choice, although Jackson also has an outstanding hospital and is fairly close to major hospitals in Idaho and Montana. The weather is always an issue, and if the roads are closed and the chopper can’t fly, you aren’t going anywhere. Everything you said about Wyoming is correct; you must be tough, and the weather and terrain can be challenging. There is a saying that Wyoming is what America was, which is so true! Don’t come here if you are offended by people talking about guns (or hunting) and carrying guns. We believe in and support ALL of our constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment. Don’t come here if you came illegally and expect to get “free stuff”; that’s not how it works in Wyoming. We welcome honest, law-abiding, hard-working, self-reliant people, no matter what race, and those who spew “progressive” communist nonsense will have a tough time here. God bless Wyoming; I will never leave!

You hit a lot of the good highlights I had to said this to a lot of my employees that wanted to work for me, they were from out of state and I told them, frankly I don’t think you’re gonna make it, number one you’re not tough enough mentally or physically. Keep up the good work. One of are saying has always been turn your clocks back when you enter the state. Something I’d like to add one important thing you didn’t mention is water, if you don’t have water you can’t take care of your animals or your family. Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to your next video.

It takes a special kind of tough to live way out west. I considered moving from Pittsburgh to Gillette to work at the power station 6 years ago but my wife wasn't buying it. I drove to Beartooth in 2017...once we got west of Minnesota I noticed that the trees were gone. Once we crossed into Wyoming the grass was gone too.

As far as healthcare, the veterans administration system is pretty decent. You have to be a veteran to partake in that though. I was on the coast for several years, and I moved back here, because I was born and raised here. It took me a season to get back Into the routine. I’m sure this past winter will run a lot of people off, in Central Wyoming. It was the longest coldest winter on record. I live in Hudson. Some years lately, we might have two weeks of spring, and then it gets really hot. A couple of our Falls lately have been the same. I know I’m not leaving again. I am an outdoor enthusiast, and I went hiking in a roadless wilderness area. Yesterday, I was by myself, and I had a blast. After living on the coast, I decided Wyoming wasn’t so bad, and I would rather put up with the weather, than the politics I was living under. And I do like my space.

[@sdr24]

My little family of me, my wife, and my one year old daughter moved out to Laramie to go to grad school for three years. I can confirm this all sounds spot on. Unlike a lot of college kids, we stayed on for the whole year, only driving back to see family in Utah for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and maybe one other time. So we were in Laramie most of the year for three years. We liked it. But the cold and the wind are no joke. A “calm” day was like 30mph winds. In the winter people didn’t even shovel their sidewalks because - what’s the point? The wind is just going to blow it all back anyway. It was so cold the snow didn’t melt for weeks. It was this dry sandy stuff that just blows on the wind. You can have winter days on the road between Laramie and Cheyenne where it wasn’t even snowing and you’d still have complete whiteout conditions down on the ground because of wind born snow. Total blizzard-like conditions with blue skies above. Incidentally, that stretch of Interstate between Laramie and Cheyenne is one of the most deadly in the USA. Every year - 60 car pileup events. We started avoiding that stretch entirely between November through March and taking Highway 287 to Fort Collins instead. Oh yeah - Fort Collins… Laramie actually counts as “big city life” by Wyoming standards. It would be considered a “big town” most other places in America. There’s not a lot going on in Laramie, and it has a lot more going on than most places in Wyoming. Honestly, when people in Laramie wanted to actually do something, they’d go to either Cheyenne or Fort Collins across the Colorado border. In the winter, we would often go to Fort Collins just to escape the unrelenting cold. It’s cold in Fort Collins in winter. But it ain’t THAT cold - not compared to Laramie. Expect that major Interstate closures can happen any time from October through April due to snow. We’ve gotten trapped in Sheridan because the road south was impassable. We’ve gotten trapped in Rawlins because the “Rawlins Pass” to the east was impassible (that stretch of I-80 closes multiple times every year). And we got trapped once in Wheatland between Cheyenne and Casper. The roads are a problem. We loved Laramie. Lovely summers in my opinion. Really nice people. Made some good friends. Medicine Bow Mountains are lovely. Big Horns up by Sheridan were great… But after three years we took the hints Wyoming was giving us and moved to the Front Range of Colorado. Still pass through on the way to Utah every year though and I still get nostalgic about it. But you can be nostalgic from a safe distance.

Lived here about two years now. The wind and cold don't bother me that much. Haven't really experienced the lack of people accepting me as a transplant, but then, I didn't try to change anything. (Well, I WOULD vote to reduce the damn registration fee for trucks if I had the chance.) I can see what you mean about jobs but luckily, I can work from home. I do miss Chick-Fil-A but not that much. If I really get a hankering for a good restaurant, we can go to Billings. Having Cody nearby helps for having a Wal-Mart and some restaurants and stuff. I love living here and will never move unless I'm forced to.

You do not know how bad it is being from California till you move to the northwest. If the cops in Oregon see a California plate they stop you. When I first moved to Washington my husband was stopped twice in two weeks because he had California plates. In Wyoming I had my Washington plates for almost a year after we moved here and had no problems. The people in Wyoming are some of the nicest people I have met in my life. Like the guy said about healthcare it is a problem if you have any major health problems. I have to go 100 miles to see specialists and it is getting worse. Luckily I am retired age and some things are not a problem. The wind is relentless sometimes and this past winter we had over 6 feet of snow. I live in the windiest city in Wyoming. But it is a beautiful state and I do like living here.

Very cold temperatures (as low as -88 with the windchill), snowmobiling, ice fishing, hunting, outdoor hockey (for us Canadian’s) wood stove fireplaces, home raised chickens, a tonne of wind (windiest province in Canada), bison, cattle, nature, and very few people. Wyoming just one ups us by being the heart of the idea of freedom. In Canada, we live under the Governments thumb at all times. My citizenship is coming, and I would love to move to WY. Cutting the lake open at -36 at sunrise, and taking a nice cold plunge before chopping wood and doing my chores for the day tell me I would fit in just fine down there where it is warm. ;)
