I believe as of July 1, 2021, Wyoming became a “constitutional carry” state, where any legal resident who is 21 years or older, and may lawfully possess a firearm, may carry it concealed without a permit
And you're not alone. Several who I work with and other neighbors lived there. Since the majority of Alaskans live away from the Interior, it can feel mote extreme in the Winter, yet many of our laws and culture are very similar.
I went to a Wyoming welcome station several years ago and mentioned to the lady working there that Wyoming is so beautiful and was surprised more people don't live here. She replied that many people do move here but after experiencing the harsh winters, they usually move away.
@@joesmith9216 no. If it was eight months, it would be September through April. Sometimes it snows in September, but then it goes back to being nice weather. Same thing and April sometimes the same thing in October and March. This year it’s been very mild. In my mind 50 to 60 or 70° is not winter
Number 1 thing for me might be healthcare. If you have any health issues, you want to be near places that can treat all your needs. If you have to commute 3 hours in a winter storm to get there, that is a BIG thing.
I want to move there because of these very reasons. It is quiet, people will leave you alone, and it is different from NY or Cali. I am an old soul and miss the nostalgic America. I don't miss living in large cities. Too hectic!
My kind of state, it comes with a clear state of mind that built this country. A place where the sky will touch your heart. Laramie has so much history and was so important to the RR and binding Cal to the east.
As a native of Wyoming, a true view of Wyoming was NOT given. 98 degrees for the entire July and August in 2022. 40 BELOW ZERO FOR 2022-23 WIND blows 70 percent of the time over 30 mph. INTRRSTATE 80 was CLOSED more than open 2022-23.
Grew up in Florida.. ill never go back.. i live in TN but im considering UT or WY.. I love the open spaces and big mountains.. close to amazing slopes for snowboarding.. all the east coast is so population dense its mentally draining
Iv lived in S. Fla for ten yrs. Only thing I like is I own my condo and no snow. No state tax and homestead exemption are plus but hoa fees and no friendly neighbors are minus. I would trade this
We visited Sheridan for a week prior to the pandemic. My wife and I locked in employment with State/Fed Govt and were on our way to getting out of AZ. Our entire time there we had no luck finding a home for rent. We tried all surrounding areas of Sheridan. We left having to turn down employment opportunities and are eager to try again. We both loved the small town vibe.
I love Wyoming. It was our vacation spot for me and my late husband. We retired in Buffalo, because we love God's great outdoors and camping. Now widowed, I am back in Wisconsin. My dream of living in Wyoming, began when I was 12 years old. I love horses 🐎, cows 🐄, plus farming, and ranching. Beautiful scenery and climate. Winter not as bad as Wisconsin. Days not as sunny as Wyoming. Over the years, we have made many friends. God is good. 🤠🎉
I am in in Rhinelander, Wisconsin...so what part of Wyoming gets the least amount of snow do ya think? I wanna leave the harsh and very LONG winters behind and find somewhere to go where I can go play disd golf for about 9 months of the year. I love the forests and the mountains, but Wyoming seems to have about the same type of winters? Help Me Out here...
@@StartGierach Surprisingly you will want to head to the central northern part of Wy. In 2022 Powell & Lovell got the least amount of snow. Thanks for watching!
Born and raised in Texas, but for the last thirty years I've wanted to move to Wyoming !! Retired about two years ago and started looking for places to live in Wyoming. I was about to give up and stay in Texas due to the high prices of real estate there until I watched your video. I am now encouraged by the information presented here and plan to continue my search for the perfect Wyoming home.
I am in Texas as well and I am looking into Wyoming as well. Thank you for YT vid and it helped raise the it as one of my choices. Because I work remote, I am looking at the most stable infrastructure. I would think that Cheyenne and Casper would be my choices at this time.
Be careful, this video is designed to do just that, sucker you into moving there, its a great place to visit, not a good place to live, unless your wealthy, you cant relay on any jobs up there, the economy is in free fall, Its crazy expensive to live there, so many cons and scams are pulled on new residents, all designed to part you with your money, smiling faces in videos like this cant hide the truth, Wyoming is unstable and its getting worse and worse.
Last time I was in Wyoming my family stayed in a log cabin for two weeks. During a church service which was in an outdoor church it lightly snowed and a deer walked up during the service. Spiritual! Incidentally I was in the second grade, we were near Yellowstone and it was 1968. I never forgot it. Would love to go back again.
We lived in Casper for a couple of years. Absolutely loved Wyoming and the people there. Casper had everything we needed, great town. The winters were cold, the wind is no joke. But spring, summer and fall were lovely. Best part - least populated state means the fewest fellow Americans. A BIG plus.
I lived in Cheyenne, Wy for a couple of years back in the late 1970's. Loved the area but hated the winters. I remember one fine winter day when I had to crawl out of my bedroom window to get outside because snow had drifted up in front of both doors of my house and I couldn't open either one. Had to shovel snow away from both front and back doors. The wind also blows snow drifts across the highway, and they have to close the Interstates until the snow stops.
I, too, lived in Cheyenne from ‘75 until ‘86. Absolutely loved it there. The way I heard it is that the wind doesn’t blow in Wyoming, Nebraska sucks. And that’s not entirely true either.
Visit Wyoming in the summer or early fall and its easy to fall in love with. Many people move here and then quickly realize the weather absolutely sucks from Jan through May. Hail season starts in May/June and it finally gets nice by July.
In much of the state, Medical care and especially quality emergency medical care can be hard to find and very expensive. Most of us go to Utah, Montana, or Colorado for specialists. During the winter (November through April) the roads be closed at anytime. Interstate 80 is constantly closed during the winter so don't plan to go very far. Also, in the winter the roads are not well maintained and you know you have crossed the border into Utah or Colorado when the road suddenly is clear of snow and black ice, and safe. I have seen it snow in every month of the year and even seen the interstate closed in June and September because of blizzards. Even though we have a regional airport, the fares are so prohibitively expensive that most of us fly out of SLC or DIA. Again, many of us shop in Utah, Montana, or Wyoming as our choices are very limited. We don't have many of the 'big city' problems and the schools are well funded and teachers are appreciated. There is only one university, but there are many affordable community colleges. Wyoming is sure a beautiful place to live.
@@sethtenrec Yup. Good for them. Who wants all the drama that comes with your talking points? What, libs blowing up 'cause I used a plastic straw? No thanks...
@@scottboettcher plastic straws, Black people to the back of the bus, transgender people banned, yeah trivia like that….. f “conservatives” ….total morons 100%
Good breakdown and sales pitch for moving here, and I love it here and our only regret is didn't move here sooner. You didn't mention Gillette, but this is a great community and haven't met a bad person yet since moving here. Kids ride their bikes around the neighborhoods without a worry, people walk around never worried about being accosted, and many things are close to how nice, friendly, and peaceful most of the country was 50 years ago where you didn't have to worry about thugs all the time like now in most of this country. There are many things I haven't yet done here, but I have plenty of time left to be able to get out there and enjoy. Besides, the winters aren't really all that bad for me, I have lived in northern Wisconsin and Colorado as well as worked in North Dakota and they are all snowier than here as well as WI and ND being far far colder.
Gillette Wyoming ? Not a good place to live sky high unemployment, crazy expensive to live there, crummy schools, low paying crummy jobs, yeah this video is a pitch alright, its a scam designed to paint pretty pictures of living in Wyoming and nothing could be further from the truth, Wyoming is in Economic Free Fall, the state is going broke, people are fleeing, leaving the state in droves, crime, drugs, these are the facts this pretty lady kind of forgot to mention, I lived in the state for 25 years Sheridan and I got out before it all fell to pieces, Sheridan and Gillette are 2 of the worst area's in the state to live.Wyoming is based on scams and cons and gimmicks, now they have no more games to play.This video is a sunshine, happy days bunch of nonsense.
Loved your video. My mom grew up in southern Wyoming. I spent my childhood going north to the Snowies -still one of my favorite places. Raised in Texas but introduced my husband and kids to Wyoming and they fell in love particularly the Greater Yellowstone area. I wish it wasn't so far!
Great video, I'm a transplant. I've lived on both coasts, almost drowned in both oceans (rip tides). Then lived in Colorado for several years, ending up working 10 miles from the Wyoming state line in Wellington, CO. I moved to Cheyenne to be closer to that job and now work and live in Cheyenne. I work outdoors too and the -30F down to -40F windchills are real and dangerous. FYI, Cheyenne is just over 6,000 feet elevation, higher than Denver. You just have to plan ahead and endure. The tradeoff is NO HUMIDITY in the summer months, I hate humidity. Oh yeah, you have to go out of your way to drown up here at 6k Elev. It happens, but you gotta go outa your way.
I'm from Cheyenne and lived in Boston and Europe. The winters are actually harder for me in these places because there is so much cloud cover. I hate the wind in S WY, but I didn't understand how 3 weeks of clouds in an already dark winter can just drain your vitality!
Yes, the wind does blow a little bit in Southern Wyoming. I used to drive interstate 80. Had my hat blow off in Evanston after breakfast, and found it waiting for me on a fencepost that afternoon at Sapp Brothers in Southeastern corner of the state. Wish I was still young, I'd move there in a minute. Many fond memories of Wyoming.
Haha, the wind in Southern Wyoming definitely has a mind of its own! But hey, at least it gave you a little hat adventure. Who needs a hat when you have memories, right?
As a Canadian if I ever have to move Stateside, Wyoming just went towards the top of the list :-) Sounds like up here 50 years ago. Thank you Alisha for such a positive but real presentation which will help a lot of people understand the pros and cons for them. I had an uncle, for example, who just didn't go to cities with less than 1.5 million people. When he attended my wedding many moons ago and we were in a city with only 100K people I realized how much he loved us LOL. That population density sounds heavenly! Frankly, so does the lack of silly gun laws made for deep urban situations like Vancouver or Toronto when Canada is mostly more densely populated by beavers and moose than humans....Well done!!!
I had a buddy who owned a small contracting company in Wyoming doing home remodels, decks, bathrooms, that kinda stuff who eventually had to move out of state because in those small towns there simply is not enough business to survive on.
I am relocating to Casper from Texas in April of 2024. The 2023 summer in Texas was brutal and I don’t mind the cold (grew up in Colorado / and Alaska as my dad was in the USAF) as much as I dislike the heat. My son moved up to Casper two years ago and I spent last August there to escape the heat, went back and stayed mid October, November and December. I work remote so it doesn’t matter where I am physically located. Looking forward to the move - I honestly fell in love with Casper and hated to return to Texas.
@@alishacollinsrealestate I suppose it’s not too early to establish a relationship with an agent - provide some background and what I’m looking for? What is an email address and anyone in particular I should reach out to?
I grew up here, winters we're brutal. 40 and 50 below , most of the time without high winds. You get a breeze or wind with it , the wind chill factor drives it to 55 to 65 below. Now it's not been like that since MT. Saint Helens blew up. I've been back now 10 years, the last two have been 30 to 50 below here in north central Wyo. I'd agree with the NASA scientist , It look's like another mini ice age coming our way, for the next 20 to 30 years ,,,, BBBBBRRRRRRR !
Wyoming is a beautiful state with loads of potentials! Though i will say i tried it in Cheyenne 1991-92 saw one of theirs worst winter and by the time spring came around so did a nonstop 20-30+ mph wind all day and nite in a Winnebago camper wasn't fun!
Having lived in Casper for over 20 years, your review was spot on. I'd just like point that the cold winter temps are not all that bad because of sunny days and low humidity. What is bad is the frequent wind. Most of the larger Wyoming cities can boast that they are large enough to offer all services but without the big city problems like traffic. From downtown Casper you can be snow skiing in 30 minutes or water skiing/fishing in about 45 minutes. There's a lot to like.
My family just returned from a week in Florida. None of them want to go back. My oldest lived there for a year and was thinking about it but she was like nope! After day one.
As a Kansan it sounds like heaven to me. Except for the -30* stuff. I already got a truck and guns. I even have cowboy boots, belt and a hat. I even know the difference between a steer and a cow.
Im moving to Wyoming when i retire in a year or two. I cant afford to retire in seattle, and i only spent two weeks at Story and Sheridan but i left my heart there apartments are dirt cheap. Im thinking Rock Springs. Cant wait! 0:02
Story and Sheridan areas are very different from Rock Springs. Different terrain, different climate, difference in amount of wind and scenic details. Differences in the communities due to history of each area and how and when they originated.
There or only two seasons in Wyoming! Construction, and winter, the winter is long with a Short growing season!!!!Winter winds never stop, and are 65mph+, putting the wind chill below -40 and at times -60.
I love Wyoming! I've driven through it on several different routes, and it is one of the most beautiful states in the US. Fewer people, family values, lower taxes, it's a perfect place to raise a family. I hope to retire there in a couple of years, Lord willing.
Think twice, its not all nice and happy like this video portrays, this is happy sunshine in this video not facts, Wyoming is a mess and its getting worse and worse, crime, drugs, unemployment, poverty, yeah not such a great place....
Is it true that in Wyoming there is no property tax cap that property tax can go up as high as 30% 🤔😱in one year on a single family dwelling i.e. 3 bd. 2 ba. 2+ attached garage newest to new home 2000 to 2023?
I am from the Philippines. Since childhood, I always enjoy Western movies shot and filmed perhaps some in Wyoming especialy John Wayne movies. I dreamed smeday to visit and to live in Wyoming that's why I took nursing. Unfortunately, things didn't turned that way. Thanks to your channels for enabling us to have a glimpse of this beautiful part of the US. Am also glad to know that the people there are Conservatives, which in my understanding have Biblical values. windy Wyoming winter is scary to me.
After a 3 year tour in Fairbanks, with temps below -77f, i think wyoming wont be hard to adjust to. Former US Army, B-4, 3x SSi, planning on volunteering with LEO's, always carry EMT bag, teaching NRA classes including reloading.
One morning I called my son who lived in Powell, Wyoming at the time, how cold it was that morning. He said- Dad, it is physically painful to walk out the door. He now lives in southwest Utah.
I live in the UK. How I’d love to experience Wyoming. The scenery looks stunning. Maybe I’ll come in the summer first, but the winter does look amazing. Fed up with mild, wet and grey winters here.
This year I've been to Wyoming for Holidays and just fell in love with that state. I like the kind of pioneer spirit Wyoming and its people spread. In Germany (where I come from and where I live) everything is forbidden.. you arent allowed to camp, to fish, to hunt, to own a gun.. there is so much regulation here, in Wyoming (especially during some hikes near Saratoga) I felt that Spirit of freedom for the First time. Back home I'm feeling kinda home-sick, wishing me back to Wyoming. I hope everything turns out Well, so I can move to Wyoming after my Masters Degree and assimilate in that beautiful state and become American one day 😊❤️🇺🇸 God Bless
We'd like to see more people like us here. They probably won't let you immigrate because you are the wrong demographic. When the time comes, just buy a ticket to Mexico and walk across our southern border. It's wide open.
Here in SW Wyoming we have more than a 1000 miles of ATV trails, some of which may see a human once a decade, it's still the frontier here and we like people that can see that an embrace it. Sounds like you're already a Wyomingite.
What are you getting your masters in? There's a great need here for engineers with the next generation nuclear power plant being built here over the next few years. You sound like a good fit for Wyoming.
@@jeffmead4670 i'm sorry, but I'm currently studying History. I have No Idea of nuclear powerplants.. It's kinda funny that you are building more of such nuclear powerplants.. Here in Germany they banned nuclear Power and now we're importing nuclear Energy from france. The Energy prices Here are augmenting so fast that many conpanies leave Germany. (Such as NTN in my Home Town.. its been there for over 50 years..) Greetings to WY Chris
came to this video because I met a really nice couple on holiday in England today and they told me about where they live it sounds great, I would love to visit one day.
Time to become a multi-millionaire so that I can get a residency visa by starting or buying a business that employs at least 10 people. Cody looks like a nice town. Could maybe buy a small apartment and stay 180 days Spring, Summer and Fall. I have put this video in my Favourites just in case I need a buyer agent.
Thank You so much for your videos! Moved to Cheyenne back in Aug. 2023, I lived and worked in Moran (Jackson Lake Lodge) for a season back in 95', lived in Jackson (WY) in 2002, loved both places! Cheyenne is nice as well, after traveling for family in Indy, and Texas, it sure feels Amazing to be from Wyoming.. Home where the buffalo roam. Been away in Indy and TX, since june 2024, cannot wait to get back Home in February to "stay", done leaving the Best state in the country for family!, they can just visit me instead. Wyoming is More than it seems or looks like. I Love it! Looking into Retiring in Lander or Pinedale soon. Thank Youa You Rock Alisha! 🤘🏻🤠
I'm from Michigan. The winter doesn't scare me. Cheyenne, the most populous city, has fewer people than Kalamazoo, MI. Wyoming doesn't have a big city. That's a good thing.
I moved to WY briefly, I remember the first time I walked into grocrey store in Powell and everyone just stared at me. Felt like I was in a Steven King novel.
@@alishacollinsrealestate Denver but lived several places inbetween. That story was only the begining of the strangness I encountered. Beautiful place, damn windy.
I considered Cheyenne but the wind is an issue. I was tempted to live just north of Colorado for tax savings but still able to drive to ski resorts in the winter. I suppose I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too. Oh well. I think the winters are too brutal in other parts of the state, so I'm considering Colorado Springs instead. I'm coming from Florida so I need to ease into this.
@@choski76 Yeah, the cold winters is a concern, but we aren't native to Florida. I have lived as far north as New Jersey and as far west as Del Rio, Texas. Orlando is actually the furthest south I have ever lived. I'm actually _more_ concerned about the drier climate.
@@JasonTaylor-po5xc "Water" should be the big concern in Florida. But it's not. South Texas has the Floridian weather and fifty years of being 'snow-bird' friendly but publicity only shows border issues. Heck, migrants to come across the border to stay in McAllen or Brownsville, Del Rio, etc. They go where the big companies who brought them over want them. And South Texas has four big hospital chains covering the region, so I give it big props. Hurricanes, though... while S.Texas has been spared, there's always gonna be A Next One.
@@bitfenix90 I agree with you if referring to South Florida - they have a large metro area drawing from the Everglades. The rest of the state has access to a pretty nice aquifer along with several rivers and natural springs - we also get a lot of rain. However, we are somewhat limited on land. I looked at Texas. I actually used to live in Del Rio many, many years ago. The problem with Texas is property taxes are among the highest in the country, which does offset no state income tax. I think I'm going to spend the summer driving around the country to figure out where I like the most and look into relocating there - or, perhaps keeping Florida as my base and just live in other states for a month or so at a time during the summer until the kids get out of school.
@@alishacollinsrealestate I am from Croatia. I didn't know anything about Wyoming and after watching the video I get to know an interesting country.

I used to drive a truck thru Wyoming. More often than not. It reminds me of the backcountry. People are nice, but not a lot of people. I wouldn't move there for a job unless you are moving your business. Low people mean low economic growth for education, the service industry, and retail opportunities.
I've lived in Wyoming for three years as of posting. I don't own an AC unit. To me, it's perfect. Yes, the cold and wind may break you if you are weak.
@@israrhussain6159Really depends on where you move. Jackson, WY is only for millionaires but Casper and Cheyenne give my adults kids a chance to own a home.
Nice report....I lived in Kemmerer for a while, cheap hotel, oilfield job. But yeah, the people...like people seem to have the values of my parents, and everyone is friendly. People will help you when you need it.
Well thanks, Alisha ! reminds me of roughneckin' around Rock Springs. had motorcycle; living in tent. My rear lights on the bike were out, and I was looking for a certain campground at night. Car was following, and getting too close, danger....so I ripped up to 90 or so to lose him.....blue light. But the cop wass totally understanding, and then he took me to the campground so I wouldn't get hit or hurt. Today, here, in California i'd be in jail.
@@jinnabaker1744 Thanks. This makes it tough for retirees. We all want to live in the wide open spaces but most often need medical services, many eventually with visitors or care-givers. That means they must drive hours to get to a central hospital. Homes and pets are left unattended, and if it's a couple, one person's 'left behind' while the other's in the hospital far away. Ugh. It's a sad reality when folks ponder "Do I envision a high-rise glass-tower big-city retirement, or a country home?" ugh.
@@bitfenix90 That is defiantly a hard decision. We have homes that are out of town but still 20 minutes to our hospital or other medical facilities that offer those services. However, in the winter you can be completely stuck in your home and unable to get to a doctor or hospital. I'm sure you will figure out what makes you happy!
@@jinnabaker1744as I recall living in Douglas as a kid those kinds of services were offered at the hospital in the middle of town and the adjacent clinic they made out of the old hospital
As election deniers, you have no credibility to tell people what to believe or how to vote. If you believe conspiracies that is on you. The fact that you didn't re elect Liz Cheney proves you don't believe in the Constitution.
Understand what ur saying..... Used to embrace Texas, until the 'liberal', carpetbagger bait began targeting Austin. One of the finest, large bridges ever constructed, lies northeast of Corpus Christi. Never used to be any toll, at all. Now, I hear the new wave has begun milking..... It's safer being aware of what newcomers bring for baggage.... Newer isn't nece better. Some of those passing through Wyoming, begin to complain about roads not being salted or plowed..... Maybe, we should all pay higher taxes, to appease those complainers...¿ Maybe, we should all make sacrifices, because the few who feel compelled to drive when common sense might better dictate delaying a trip they timed for inclement weather¿ After all, I enjoy wonderful memories of times in Wyoming..... yet, changes have commenced not just in Texas, Hawaii, Califirnia, Canada, etc. Let's face it.... you could once hike for many miles of pristine trails.... adorned by Mother Nature, exclusively. Since then, one may find some 'genius' corrupting the sanctity of pristine, only to 'decorate' w uncommissioned carvings or graffiti.... or other forms of leaving their garbage behind. I can respect Wyoming natives' endeavor to maintain the lifestyle closer to simple; rather than the complicated confusions of states entering decline..... It's kind of like SUVers complaining about professional drivers passing them in a blizzard..... I personally see no sense trying to tango my pickup truck w a semi. But, since everyone's got their own opinion, we all must pay for delays caused by 4-wheelers who simply must make everyone come to a complete stop. Following too closely, during periods of reduced traction &/or reduced visibility, has historically even involved commercial traffic accidents. I am fine w Wyoming just the way it has been. And, if'n ya don't like it in California or Massachusetts, then YOU should change it there; instead of moving your baggage to change a perfectly excellent-managed native populated state, like Wyoming. Go there w Respect, or just try elsewhere!
I lived in Laramie for a few months, I loved it. But I have to have an ocean to visit as I am originally born and raised in Oregon, and I love my coastline. If I didn't mind being landlocked Wyoming would be one of the places I would move to.
@Alisha Collins while I have been to 28 states, I have never been to Florida. Being a Pacific Northwest Guy, I don't get to the East Coast. The closest I've been was pittsburgh.
Tatyana, Los Angeles Is Casper a good place for retirees? I’m from Ukraine and after leaving 30 years in Los Angeles I terribly missed four season and small town benefits.
I hope no one moves to Wyoming. Wyoming is beautiful, unique, special. Don't change anything. Don't make it Like Bosie, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Colorado, or Oregon.... A California suburb.
As a lifelong Michigan resident I feel comfortable in saying that, even with everything that's wrong with Michigan, I really don't consider ever moving. I'm content with what nature has to offer here, and our temperate climate is tolerable. When I want a change of scenery (that is not in MI,) I just go on vacation.
@@robertnilla Special place, indeed! I have a fridge magnet from the Quincy Mine Museum, in the shape of the UP that reads "Michigan's Better Half." I 100% agree with that phrase; Michigan's UP is spectacular!
I love your videos! So well done and informative. As a senior thinking about moving to another state .However haven't heard you speak much about health care facilities and costs?
I live in London and I would absolutely love to live there and enjoy the sessions, the space, the wildlife and the attitudes of the people. To me it’s absolutely paradise. I would never look back.
Born and raised in Wyoming. Man I’d love to get back. Also, this lady has the perfect TV voice. In an alternate life she should be hosting something on hgtv or broadcasting games etc.
Let's see. Deal with cold weather (which I did when in the military) or swim through junkies, bums, and beggers on the sidewalks of Los Angeles???? Yeah, I still plan to move to Wyoming in a couple of years. Thank you for sharing.
Born and raised in Wyoming... Very remote and sparse. Almost where you won't see anyone for miles 😂. Weather can be crazy, not 'wild wild west' 😂 comes about as close as you can get.
Dry cold does not compare to wet humid cold. I live in Iowa and what happens in WY. Happens in NE. And IA. .wind blows across the plains . But not as cold but plenty of wind .
I wish we could have enforced for California. It's gone downhill fast; "they've" destroyed it.Bumper stickers used to say "welcome to California, now go home", then we got crooks for politicians and other damn states bus their homeless here.
Thank you very much for including a discussion of Wyoming gun laws and concealed/open carry. Those are of interest to me, and I was glad to hear that Wyoming accommodates both of those things. I’m going to watch a few more of your videos about Wyoming.
This was a spectacular video explanation. WY looks great. I'm debating between Wyoming or New Hampshire or Washington State for low taxes and high on nature.
We're talking about number 3. With that said, the socialist communist democrat party needs to stay the hell out of this state and not screwed up like they've done other states. I also own property in nevada, but that's a big butt now. One thing you kind of missed on this only 5 days of the year that the wind don't blow.
I want to move to Wyoming from UK , I’m Polish citizen and I’m wondering how is a work on Heavy plant in there ,Or any muck shift or civil construction?
Can you get around on the streets there, like in Casper, in a car in the winter time? I know you can with a 4-wheel drive vehicle, but how about just a regular car with front-wheel drive? And are they pretty good at snow plowing the streets and keeping them drivable?
You can but I wouldn't recommend it. Many of the neighborhoods do not get plowed on a regular basis and sometimes the snow comes down or drifts so fast it is impossible toto keep up.
Most of the time the snow in Casper has so little moisture content that driving in it is no problem at all. You can't even make a snowball or a snowman. We grew up with RWD cars and with snow tires did just fine 99% or the time. The other 1% of the time you simply stay home. Casper has a weather phenomenon call Chinook winds. The winds come over the mountains and warm things up very quickly. It can be around 0 degrees one day and warm up to 40 the next day and melt everything quickly. I guess that's one reason to appreciate the "windy city".
I miss Wyoming. I grew up in Douglas, and as a young adult lived in Casper, Cheyenne, Gillette, Buffalo, Laramie, Jackson, Cody and Laramie. I permanently moved away in 1991. I believe I hold the distinction of having been fired from more Wyoming radio stations than anyone else. When I lived in Casper I lived at El Sid / Fox Hill apartments and last I checked it’s still there.
I believe as of July 1, 2021, Wyoming became a “constitutional carry” state, where any legal resident who is 21 years or older, and may lawfully possess a firearm, may carry it concealed without a permit
That is correct. God bless Wyoming, and it's wonderful people.
I’m from NY we can’t even buy a semi auto now without a pistol permit
It has been since 2013. In 2021 it was expanded to non-residents.
Good
@@joeweg1 as it should be
As an Alaskan I approve of Wyoming.
Thank you!
Our weather is lightweight compared to yours! ❤ stay cozy
Diddo.
Same here man. Considering buying property there now.
And you're not alone. Several who I work with and other neighbors lived there. Since the majority of Alaskans live away from the Interior, it can feel mote extreme in the Winter, yet many of our laws and culture are very similar.
I went to a Wyoming welcome station several years ago and mentioned to the lady working there that Wyoming is so beautiful and was surprised more people don't live here. She replied that many people do move here but after experiencing the harsh winters, they usually move away.
Most winters are long and hard for sure.
I do not think everyone moves away. There is a lot of movement always because people move for family reasons, work reasons etc.
@alishacollinsrealestate I'm sure that's true, and she was just generalizing about some of the transplants she knew about.
@@alishacollinsrealestate are your winters like 8 months?
@@joesmith9216 no. If it was eight months, it would be September through April. Sometimes it snows in September, but then it goes back to being nice weather. Same thing and April sometimes the same thing in October and March. This year it’s been very mild. In my mind 50 to 60 or 70° is not winter
Number 1 thing for me might be healthcare. If you have any health issues, you want to be near places that can treat all your needs. If you have to commute 3 hours in a winter storm to get there, that is a BIG thing.
If you live in southern Wy, the heath care in Colorado isn't far.
@@alishacollinsrealestatethere a need for health professionals in Wyoming?
I want to move there because of these very reasons. It is quiet, people will leave you alone, and it is different from NY or Cali. I am an old soul and miss the nostalgic America. I don't miss living in large cities. Too hectic!
Unfortunately a grave disadvantage in the more remote areas 😭
My kind of state, it comes with a clear state of mind that built this country. A place where the sky will touch your heart. Laramie has so much history and was so important to the RR and binding Cal to the east.
Looks like Wyoming's charm has worked its magic on you!
@dennisschultz9180 You have the heart of a poet!
Spent enjoyable quality time there last century. Never had any desire to relocate there 😉
As a native of Wyoming, a true view of Wyoming was NOT given.
98 degrees for the entire July and August in 2022.
40 BELOW ZERO FOR 2022-23
WIND blows 70 percent of the time over 30 mph.
INTRRSTATE 80 was CLOSED more than open 2022-23.
I don't recall that here in Star Valley, Wyoming. I love it here. We do average 91 inches of snow a year, helps with fresh drinking water.
@@TD-sg8djI'm in Gillette and the Temps he talks about were accurate in 2022.
Grew up in Florida.. ill never go back.. i live in TN but im considering UT or WY.. I love the open spaces and big mountains.. close to amazing slopes for snowboarding.. all the east coast is so population dense its mentally draining
Thanks for watching!
I'm in kentucky ! I'm going back to Utah .
Iv lived in S. Fla for ten yrs. Only thing I like is I own my condo and no snow. No state tax and homestead exemption are plus but hoa fees and no friendly neighbors are minus. I would trade this
There's something here you'd love, people kite board up the mountains and then board back, sometimes they get to 70MPH going uphill.
@user-qc2wg5gt8l Grew up in S. FL and won't go back. North Florida is better, especially if you lean red.
We visited Sheridan for a week prior to the pandemic. My wife and I locked in employment with State/Fed Govt and were on our way to getting out of AZ. Our entire time there we had no luck finding a home for rent. We tried all surrounding areas of Sheridan. We left having to turn down employment opportunities and are eager to try again. We both loved the small town vibe.
It’s a lovely town.
I love Wyoming. It was our vacation spot for me and my late husband. We retired in Buffalo, because we love God's great outdoors and camping. Now widowed, I am back in Wisconsin. My dream of living in Wyoming, began when I was 12 years old. I love horses 🐎, cows 🐄, plus farming, and ranching. Beautiful scenery and climate. Winter not as bad as Wisconsin. Days not as sunny as Wyoming. Over the years, we have made many friends. God is good. 🤠🎉
Buffalo is a great little town. Our blue skies do make for some beautiful sunny days. Thanks for watching!
I am in in Rhinelander, Wisconsin...so what part of Wyoming gets the least amount of snow do ya think? I wanna leave the harsh and very LONG winters behind and find somewhere to go where I can go play disd golf for about 9 months of the year. I love the forests and the mountains, but Wyoming seems to have about the same type of winters? Help Me Out here...
@@StartGierach Surprisingly you will want to head to the central northern part of Wy. In 2022 Powell & Lovell got the least amount of snow. Thanks for watching!
We'll hold a place for you in case you ever want to come back.
Born and raised in Wisconsin and everything Online keeps saying how brutal Wyoming‘s winters are 😂 they never been to wisconsin
Born and raised in Texas, but for the last thirty years I've wanted to move to Wyoming !! Retired about two years ago and started looking for places to live in Wyoming. I was about to give up and stay in Texas due to the high prices of real estate there until I watched your video. I am now encouraged by the information presented here and plan to continue my search for the perfect Wyoming home.
Let me know if I can help!
Born and raised Texas native too, hoping to move to Wyoming in the next five years!
I am in Texas as well and I am looking into Wyoming as well. Thank you for YT vid and it helped raise the it as one of my choices. Because I work remote, I am looking at the most stable infrastructure. I would think that Cheyenne and Casper would be my choices at this time.
Be careful, this video is designed to do just that, sucker you into moving there, its a great place to visit, not a good place to live, unless your wealthy, you cant relay on any jobs up there, the economy is in free fall, Its crazy expensive to live there, so many cons and scams are pulled on new residents, all designed to part you with your money, smiling faces in videos like this cant hide the truth, Wyoming is unstable and its getting worse and worse.
Nothing good comes from texass. Parasites on the nation
Last time I was in Wyoming my family stayed in a log cabin for two weeks. During a church service which was in an outdoor church it lightly snowed and a deer walked up during the service. Spiritual! Incidentally I was in the second grade, we were near Yellowstone and it was 1968. I never forgot it. Would love to go back again.
What an amazing experience!
We lived in Casper for a couple of years. Absolutely loved Wyoming and the people there. Casper had everything we needed, great town. The winters were cold, the wind is no joke. But spring, summer and fall were lovely.
Best part - least populated state means the fewest fellow Americans. A BIG plus.
I lived in Cheyenne, Wy for a couple of years back in the late 1970's. Loved the area but hated the winters. I remember one fine winter day when I had to crawl out of my bedroom window to get outside because snow had drifted up in front of both doors of my house and I couldn't open either one. Had to shovel snow away from both front and back doors. The wind also blows snow drifts across the highway, and they have to close the Interstates until the snow stops.
You aren't wrong 😆We get a lot of snow!
I, too, lived in Cheyenne from ‘75 until ‘86. Absolutely loved it there. The way I heard it is that the wind doesn’t blow in Wyoming, Nebraska sucks. And that’s not entirely true either.
@shadowsdad903 we have plenty of wind.
@@shadowsdad903 Would appreciate any job offer over there if given the opportunity from Nigeria.
Thanks
Visit Wyoming in the summer or early fall and its easy to fall in love with. Many people move here and then quickly realize the weather absolutely sucks from Jan through May. Hail season starts in May/June and it finally gets nice by July.
The weather keeps the riff raff out! lol
Sounds like Alberta . . .
In much of the state, Medical care and especially quality emergency medical care can be hard to find and very expensive. Most of us go to Utah, Montana, or Colorado for specialists. During the winter (November through April) the roads be closed at anytime. Interstate 80 is constantly closed during the winter so don't plan to go very far. Also, in the winter the roads are not well maintained and you know you have crossed the border into Utah or Colorado when the road suddenly is clear of snow and black ice, and safe. I have seen it snow in every month of the year and even seen the interstate closed in June and September because of blizzards. Even though we have a regional airport, the fares are so prohibitively expensive that most of us fly out of SLC or DIA. Again, many of us shop in Utah, Montana, or Wyoming as our choices are very limited. We don't have many of the 'big city' problems and the schools are well funded and teachers are appreciated. There is only one university, but there are many affordable community colleges. Wyoming is sure a beautiful place to live.
All great talking points! The scenery here is like no other!
Yep, scenery is the only thing that matters. Medical care, decent housing, diversity and acceptance, none of it matters … only scenery. 😂😂😂
@@sethtenrec Yup. Good for them. Who wants all the drama that comes with your talking points? What, libs blowing up 'cause I used a plastic straw? No thanks...
@@scottboettcher plastic straws, Black people to the back of the bus, transgender people banned, yeah trivia like that….. f “conservatives” ….total morons 100%
There is no such thing as quality medical care since the government took over medical care
Wyoming only has two seasons... Winter and road construction.
I was told winter & wind, by a person who lives there
@jeanetteshawredden5643 the wind is there year around. I used to live there.
Vegas has hot and cold. Wind is bad too but necessary. Without it we would choke on the pollution.
You forgot mosquito season
MICHIGAN TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good breakdown and sales pitch for moving here, and I love it here and our only regret is didn't move here sooner. You didn't mention Gillette, but this is a great community and haven't met a bad person yet since moving here. Kids ride their bikes around the neighborhoods without a worry, people walk around never worried about being accosted, and many things are close to how nice, friendly, and peaceful most of the country was 50 years ago where you didn't have to worry about thugs all the time like now in most of this country. There are many things I haven't yet done here, but I have plenty of time left to be able to get out there and enjoy. Besides, the winters aren't really all that bad for me, I have lived in northern Wisconsin and Colorado as well as worked in North Dakota and they are all snowier than here as well as WI and ND being far far colder.
There is no doubt that people from Noth Dakota know how to do winter! Thank you so much for watching!
Gillette Wyoming ? Not a good place to live sky high unemployment, crazy expensive to live there, crummy schools, low paying crummy jobs, yeah this video is a pitch alright, its a scam designed to paint pretty pictures of living in Wyoming and nothing could be further from the truth, Wyoming is in Economic Free Fall, the state is going broke, people are fleeing, leaving the state in droves, crime, drugs, these are the facts this pretty lady kind of forgot to mention, I lived in the state for 25 years Sheridan and I got out before it all fell to pieces, Sheridan and Gillette are 2 of the worst area's in the state to live.Wyoming is based on scams and cons and gimmicks, now they have no more games to play.This video is a sunshine, happy days bunch of nonsense.
Loved your video. My mom grew up in southern Wyoming. I spent my childhood going north to the Snowies -still one of my favorite places. Raised in Texas but introduced my husband and kids to Wyoming and they fell in love particularly the Greater Yellowstone area. I wish it wasn't so far!
Thanks for watching! So glad you are sharing the beauty of our state with your family!
Great video, I'm a transplant. I've lived on both coasts, almost drowned in both oceans (rip tides). Then lived in Colorado for several years, ending up working 10 miles from the Wyoming state line in Wellington, CO. I moved to Cheyenne to be closer to that job and now work and live in Cheyenne. I work outdoors too and the -30F down to -40F windchills are real and dangerous. FYI, Cheyenne is just over 6,000 feet elevation, higher than Denver. You just have to plan ahead and endure. The tradeoff is NO HUMIDITY in the summer months, I hate humidity. Oh yeah, you have to go out of your way to drown up here at 6k Elev. It happens, but you gotta go outa your way.
Thats so true! I hate humidity too! Thank you so much for watching!
How is it compared to Wellington? I live in Wellington and am considering moving to Cheyenne for lower cost of living
There is actually plenty of humidity in Cheyenne, while its not constant, it still exists here. Especially after it rains during the summer.
I'm from Cheyenne and lived in Boston and Europe. The winters are actually harder for me in these places because there is so much cloud cover. I hate the wind in S WY, but I didn't understand how 3 weeks of clouds in an already dark winter can just drain your vitality!
@@JohnKruse I believe it!
Yes, the wind does blow a little bit in Southern Wyoming. I used to drive interstate 80. Had my hat blow off in Evanston after breakfast, and found it waiting for me on a fencepost that afternoon at Sapp Brothers in Southeastern corner of the state.
Wish I was still young, I'd move there in a minute. Many fond memories of Wyoming.
Haha, the wind in Southern Wyoming definitely has a mind of its own! But hey, at least it gave you a little hat adventure. Who needs a hat when you have memories, right?
@@alishacollinsrealestate agreed
As a Canadian if I ever have to move Stateside, Wyoming just went towards the top of the list :-) Sounds like up here 50 years ago. Thank you Alisha for such a positive but real presentation which will help a lot of people understand the pros and cons for them. I had an uncle, for example, who just didn't go to cities with less than 1.5 million people. When he attended my wedding many moons ago and we were in a city with only 100K people I realized how much he loved us LOL. That population density sounds heavenly! Frankly, so does the lack of silly gun laws made for deep urban situations like Vancouver or Toronto when Canada is mostly more densely populated by beavers and moose than humans....Well done!!!
Yeah! Love being at the top of the list! Thanks for watching!

I came from France in Wyoming September 2019, and I felt in love of your Land !
I had a buddy who owned a small contracting company in Wyoming doing home remodels, decks, bathrooms, that kinda stuff who eventually had to move out of state because in those small towns there simply is not enough business to survive on.
I would strongly disagree in regard to Casper. There is more than enough work to go around here.
Another great, no nonsense pro & con video. Seems like this year has definitely been a tough year for snow.
Thank you so much! A crazy amount of snow this year for sure!
I have lived in Wyoming most of my life and I will never leave, ever!!!
I am relocating to Casper from Texas in April of 2024. The 2023 summer in Texas was brutal and I don’t mind the cold (grew up in Colorado / and Alaska as my dad was in the USAF) as much as I dislike the heat. My son moved up to Casper two years ago and I spent last August there to escape the heat, went back and stayed mid October, November and December. I work remote so it doesn’t matter where I am physically located. Looking forward to the move - I honestly fell in love with Casper and hated to return to Texas.
I love here! 💖💖Let me know if you need help finding a home!
@@alishacollinsrealestate I suppose it’s not too early to establish a relationship with an agent - provide some background and what I’m looking for? What is an email address and anyone in particular I should reach out to?
I grew up here, winters we're brutal. 40 and 50 below , most of the time without high winds. You get a breeze or wind with it , the wind chill factor drives it to 55 to 65 below. Now it's not been like that since MT. Saint Helens blew up. I've been back now 10 years, the last two have been 30 to 50 below here in north central Wyo. I'd agree with the NASA scientist , It look's like another mini ice age coming our way, for the next 20 to 30 years ,,,, BBBBBRRRRRRR !
Good thing we are built different here!
I’ve been to wyoming several times and your review is spot on. Great job and thank you
Thank you so much!
Wyoming is a beautiful state with loads of potentials! Though i will say i tried it in Cheyenne 1991-92 saw one of theirs worst winter and by the time spring came around so did a nonstop 20-30+ mph wind all day and nite in a Winnebago camper wasn't fun!
That doesn't sound fun at all!
Having lived in Casper for over 20 years, your review was spot on. I'd just like point that the cold winter temps are not all that bad because of sunny days and low humidity. What is bad is the frequent wind. Most of the larger Wyoming cities can boast that they are large enough to offer all services but without the big city problems like traffic. From downtown Casper you can be snow skiing in 30 minutes or water skiing/fishing in about 45 minutes. There's a lot to like.
Thank you so much for watching and adding to the conversation!
Ah yeah. Always fun to ski the rock!
I absolutely love your videos!!!! Not boring!!! We are thinking of moving to Wyoming from Florida! So sick of the humidity.
I love the visit Florida and totally agree about the humidity! Let me know if you need help finding a home!
My family just returned from a week in Florida. None of them want to go back. My oldest lived there for a year and was thinking about it but she was like nope! After day one.
As a Kansan it sounds like heaven to me. Except for the -30* stuff. I already got a truck and guns. I even have cowboy boots, belt and a hat. I even know the difference between a steer and a cow.
Boy howdy, it sounds like you are all set!
Do you know the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
Dang, u crazy! 🔫💪🏻😅
Im moving to Wyoming when i retire in a year or two. I cant afford to retire in seattle, and i only spent two weeks at Story and Sheridan but i left my heart there apartments are dirt cheap. Im thinking Rock Springs. Cant wait! 0:02
Welcome
See you soon!
Story and Sheridan areas are very different from Rock Springs. Different terrain, different climate, difference in amount of wind and scenic details. Differences in the communities due to history of each area and how and when they originated.
There or only two seasons in Wyoming! Construction, and winter, the winter is long with a Short growing season!!!!Winter winds never stop, and are 65mph+, putting the wind chill below -40 and at times -60.
I love Wyoming! I've driven through it on several different routes, and it is one of the most beautiful states in the US. Fewer people, family values, lower taxes, it's a perfect place to raise a family. I hope to retire there in a couple of years, Lord willing.
I agree! let me know if you need any help!
Think twice, its not all nice and happy like this video portrays, this is happy sunshine in this video not facts, Wyoming is a mess and its getting worse and worse, crime, drugs, unemployment, poverty, yeah not such a great place....

After a 3 year tour in Fairbanks, with temps below -77f, i think wyoming wont be hard to adjust to. Former US Army, B-4, 3x SSi, planning on volunteering with LEO's, always carry EMT bag, teaching NRA classes including reloading.
One morning I called my son who lived in Powell, Wyoming at the time, how cold it was that morning. He said- Dad, it is physically painful to walk out the door. He now lives in southwest Utah.
When it gets well below zero it is painful to breath when go outside!
I live in the UK. How I’d love to experience Wyoming. The scenery looks stunning. Maybe I’ll come in the summer first, but the winter does look amazing. Fed up with mild, wet and grey winters here.
This year I've been to Wyoming for Holidays and just fell in love with that state.
I like the kind of pioneer spirit Wyoming and its people spread. In Germany (where I come from and where I live) everything is forbidden.. you arent allowed to camp, to fish, to hunt, to own a gun.. there is so much regulation here, in Wyoming (especially during some hikes near Saratoga) I felt that Spirit of freedom for the First time.
Back home I'm feeling kinda home-sick, wishing me back to Wyoming.
I hope everything turns out Well, so I can move to Wyoming after my Masters Degree and assimilate in that beautiful state and become American one day 😊❤️🇺🇸
God Bless
Thank you so much! I'm glad you loved it here and felt the Wyoming spirit!
We'd like to see more people like us here.
They probably won't let you immigrate because you are the wrong demographic.
When the time comes, just buy a ticket to Mexico and walk across our southern border. It's wide open.
Here in SW Wyoming we have more than a 1000 miles of ATV trails, some of which may see a human once a decade, it's still the frontier here and we like people that can see that an embrace it. Sounds like you're already a Wyomingite.
What are you getting your masters in? There's a great need here for engineers with the next generation nuclear power plant being built here over the next few years. You sound like a good fit for Wyoming.
@@jeffmead4670 i'm sorry, but I'm currently studying History.
I have No Idea of nuclear powerplants..
It's kinda funny that you are building more of such nuclear powerplants.. Here in Germany they banned nuclear Power and now we're importing nuclear Energy from france.
The Energy prices Here are augmenting so fast that many conpanies leave Germany.

Seems Wyoming is my kind of place. And I am in India! 😢😭 Never mind, Bangalore is beautiful too.
came to this video because I met a really nice couple on holiday in England today and they told me about where they live it sounds great, I would love to visit one day.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's amazing how connections with people can inspire us to explore new places.

Thank You so much for your videos!
Moved to Cheyenne back in Aug. 2023, I lived and worked in Moran (Jackson Lake Lodge) for a season back in 95', lived in Jackson (WY) in 2002, loved both places!
Cheyenne is nice as well, after traveling for family in Indy, and Texas, it sure feels Amazing to be from Wyoming.. Home where the buffalo roam.
Been away in Indy and TX, since june 2024, cannot wait to get back Home in February to "stay", done leaving the Best state in the country for family!, they can just visit me instead. Wyoming is More than it seems or looks like.
I Love it!
Looking into Retiring in Lander or Pinedale soon.
Thank Youa

I'm from Michigan. The winter doesn't scare me. Cheyenne, the most populous city, has fewer people than Kalamazoo, MI. Wyoming doesn't have a big city. That's a good thing.
My town is 2500, Kemmerer Wyoming and I can't imagine living anywhere else for the rest of my life.
What would be good to know about Gillette, Wy?

WY is one of my favorite states when I ride my MC around the area. Great video, if I was younger I would make sure this move
I considered Cheyenne but the wind is an issue. I was tempted to live just north of Colorado for tax savings but still able to drive to ski resorts in the winter. I suppose I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too. Oh well. I think the winters are too brutal in other parts of the state, so I'm considering Colorado Springs instead. I'm coming from Florida so I need to ease into this.
Big change for you. I've natuve floridians who found Virginia too cold in the winter and moved back.
@@choski76 Yeah, the cold winters is a concern, but we aren't native to Florida. I have lived as far north as New Jersey and as far west as Del Rio, Texas. Orlando is actually the furthest south I have ever lived. I'm actually _more_ concerned about the drier climate.
Stay put. We don't want you here anyway, especially if you are from Florida. The only people worse are those from Texas.
@@JasonTaylor-po5xc "Water" should be the big concern in Florida. But it's not. South Texas has the Floridian weather and fifty years of being 'snow-bird' friendly but publicity only shows border issues. Heck, migrants to come across the border to stay in McAllen or Brownsville, Del Rio, etc. They go where the big companies who brought them over want them. And South Texas has four big hospital chains covering the region, so I give it big props. Hurricanes, though... while S.Texas has been spared, there's always gonna be A Next One.
@@bitfenix90 I agree with you if referring to South Florida - they have a large metro area drawing from the Everglades. The rest of the state has access to a pretty nice aquifer along with several rivers and natural springs - we also get a lot of rain. However, we are somewhat limited on land. I looked at Texas. I actually used to live in Del Rio many, many years ago. The problem with Texas is property taxes are among the highest in the country, which does offset no state income tax. I think I'm going to spend the summer driving around the country to figure out where I like the most and look into relocating there - or, perhaps keeping Florida as my base and just live in other states for a month or so at a time during the summer until the kids get out of school.
I love WY, been there many times. Two problems. 1st is the wind. 2nd is the lack of jobs.
👍 I like your truthful statement !! But now - What is housing like rentals ? Affordable or out of control .. ?
Love the video! Great job. Someone who actually tells the truth about us.
I do my best! Thank you for watching!
@@alishacollinsrealestate I am from Croatia. I didn't know anything about Wyoming and after watching the video I get to know an interesting country.

Thank you for being so polite and welcoming 🙏 loved the video and all the information you provided
I used to drive a truck thru Wyoming. More often than not. It reminds me of the backcountry. People are nice, but not a lot of people. I wouldn't move there for a job unless you are moving your business. Low people mean low economic growth for education, the service industry, and retail opportunities.
Sometimes. It's a boom or bust state. My cousins stayed until it boomed again and did very well. My branch of the family left during the bust.
Speak for yourself!
I love Wyoming. Casper is a 2.5 hour drive from here but the drive is always great.
I've lived in Wyoming for three years as of posting. I don't own an AC unit.
To me, it's perfect. Yes, the cold and wind may break you if you are weak.
Definitely not for the faint of heart! Thanks for watching!
Please will u tell me how much rent cost per month
@@israrhussain6159Really depends on where you move. Jackson, WY is only for millionaires but Casper and Cheyenne give my adults kids a chance to own a home.
I think the winters are absolutely beautiful here. This place is a winter wonderland.
Nice report....I lived in Kemmerer for a while, cheap hotel, oilfield job. But yeah, the people...like people seem to have the values of my parents, and everyone is friendly. People will help you when you need it.
So true! Thanks for watching!
Well thanks, Alisha ! reminds me of roughneckin' around Rock Springs. had motorcycle; living in tent. My rear lights on the bike were out, and I was looking for a certain campground at night. Car was following, and getting too close, danger....so I ripped up to 90 or so to lose him.....blue light. But the cop wass totally understanding, and then he took me to the campground so I wouldn't get hit or hurt. Today, here, in California i'd be in jail.
Tell us about how many hours it takes for residents to get to hospitals - say, oncology services, stroke and heart care.
If you are in one of the bigger towns (Casper) I do believe those services are available in the middle of town at the Wyoming Medical Center.
@@jinnabaker1744 Thanks. This makes it tough for retirees. We all want to live in the wide open spaces but most often need medical services, many eventually with visitors or care-givers. That means they must drive hours to get to a central hospital. Homes and pets are left unattended, and if it's a couple, one person's 'left behind' while the other's in the hospital far away. Ugh. It's a sad reality when folks ponder "Do I envision a high-rise glass-tower big-city retirement, or a country home?" ugh.
@@bitfenix90 That is defiantly a hard decision. We have homes that are out of town but still 20 minutes to our hospital or other medical facilities that offer those services. However, in the winter you can be completely stuck in your home and unable to get to a doctor or hospital. I'm sure you will figure out what makes you happy!
@@jinnabaker1744as I recall living in Douglas as a kid those kinds of services were offered at the hospital in the middle of town and the adjacent clinic they made out of the old hospital
I was born in Evanston Wyoming and my mom said there was snow on the 4th of July
Rule #1. Do NOT move there and try to change their politics to Cali or Colo style!
Nothing good comes froom Wyoming.
As election deniers, you have no credibility to tell people what to believe or how to vote. If you believe conspiracies that is on you. The fact that you didn't re elect Liz Cheney proves you don't believe in the Constitution.
@@Joe-sw9nk Liz Cheney is not a Representative anymore. :D
Yes they are very ignorant in wy i agree .
Understand what ur saying.....
Used to embrace Texas, until the 'liberal', carpetbagger bait began targeting Austin.
One of the finest, large bridges ever constructed, lies northeast of Corpus Christi. Never used to be any toll, at all. Now, I hear the new wave has begun milking.....
It's safer being aware of what newcomers bring for baggage....
Newer isn't nece better. Some of those passing through Wyoming, begin to complain about roads not being salted or plowed..... Maybe, we should all pay higher taxes, to appease those complainers...¿
Maybe, we should all make sacrifices, because the few who feel compelled to drive when common sense might better dictate delaying a trip they timed for inclement weather¿
After all, I enjoy wonderful memories of times in Wyoming..... yet, changes have commenced not just in Texas, Hawaii, Califirnia, Canada, etc.
Let's face it.... you could once hike for many miles of pristine trails.... adorned by Mother Nature, exclusively. Since then, one may find some 'genius' corrupting the sanctity of pristine, only to 'decorate' w uncommissioned carvings or graffiti.... or other forms of leaving their garbage behind.
I can respect Wyoming natives' endeavor to maintain the lifestyle closer to simple; rather than the complicated confusions of states entering decline.....
It's kind of like SUVers complaining about professional drivers passing them in a blizzard..... I personally see no sense trying to tango my pickup truck w a semi. But, since everyone's got their own opinion, we all must pay for delays caused by 4-wheelers who simply must make everyone come to a complete stop.
Following too closely, during periods of reduced traction &/or reduced visibility, has historically even involved commercial traffic accidents.
I am fine w Wyoming just the way it has been. And, if'n ya don't like it in California or Massachusetts, then YOU should change it there; instead of moving your baggage to change a perfectly excellent-managed native populated state, like Wyoming.
Go there w Respect, or just try elsewhere!
I’m gonna head to Wyoming soon for welding school! Coming from Texas should fit in pretty good other than the cold winters😂
Bring a heavy coat, snow boots and some gloves! Let me know if you need help finding a home!
@@alishacollinsrealestate how do I get in touch?
I lived in Laramie for a few months, I loved it. But I have to have an ocean to visit as I am originally born and raised in Oregon, and I love my coastline. If I didn't mind being landlocked Wyoming would be one of the places I would move to.
I love the ocean too! My family always takes a trip to Florida in the summer so I can get some ocean time in!
@Alisha Collins while I have been to 28 states, I have never been to Florida. Being a Pacific Northwest Guy, I don't get to the East Coast. The closest I've been was pittsburgh.
@Nicholas TV NC is one of my favorite Carolinas
@@danielstevens3869 As there are only two, this Comment must be an attempt at humor.
@scvandy3129 Well, yeah, just like North Dakota is one of my favorite Dakotas.
I think Wyoming is the state for me. Thanks for the information.
You are welcome. Thank you for watching!
Tatyana, Los Angeles
Is Casper a good place for retirees? I’m from Ukraine and after leaving 30 years in Los Angeles I terribly missed four season and small town benefits.
glad that we will have one less people from our beautiful LA
Cheyenne is better
From Saratoga here! Thank you for the shoutout!! 😂 we love our little town
Our pleasure!
Have a job opportunity in Saratoga, and wondering if the community would accept me being a minority??
I hope no one moves to Wyoming. Wyoming is beautiful, unique, special. Don't change anything. Don't make it Like Bosie, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Colorado, or Oregon.... A California suburb.
The trade off is the rough weather here in the winters, alot of people can't handle it so they end up leaving. Fine with me!
@@wookienutsack5481 I would hope it drops to 30 below and 10 ft of snow on the ground at all times. Keep the unwanted liberals out.🤠
@@wookienutsack5481 I'd be coming from Minnesota so the winters sound pretty mild. Minnesota is going to shit fast.
Californian's are eyeing your state. Ours is too expensive, crowded, and flooded with homeless.
@@IceColdProfessional Californians especially aren't welcome here, too liberal, I've seen cars with Cali plates with slashed tires.
Wyoming is my 2nd favorite state! 7th generation Texan here.
Glad you didn’t mention Pinedale. My favorite town, and I want it to stay small!
@TheBuccleuch, well now you blew, everyone's going to know about Pinedale.
As a lifelong Michigan resident I feel comfortable in saying that, even with everything that's wrong with Michigan, I really don't consider ever moving. I'm content with what nature has to offer here, and our temperate climate is tolerable. When I want a change of scenery (that is not in MI,) I just go on vacation.
The upper penisula is a very special place!!
@@robertnilla Special place, indeed! I have a fridge magnet from the Quincy Mine Museum, in the shape of the UP that reads "Michigan's Better Half." I 100% agree with that phrase; Michigan's UP is spectacular!
I love your videos! So well done and informative. As a senior thinking about moving to another state .However haven't heard you speak much about health care facilities and costs?
I will work on that! Thanks for watching!
I live in London and I would absolutely love to live there and enjoy the sessions, the space, the wildlife and the attitudes of the people.
To me it’s absolutely paradise.
I would never look back.
We will be here when you are ready!
Born and raised in Wyoming. Man I’d love to get back.
Also, this lady has the perfect TV voice. In an alternate life she should be hosting something on hgtv or broadcasting games etc.
Well thank you! Thank would be so fun!
It sounds a pretty good place to be!
I love it here!
@@alishacollinsrealestate I'd love real estate info. Not rich. Looking to invest 80k
This is awesome, ty. I am from Casper but lived in Glennrock. If my daughter was not here in Washington I would be back.
Sounds like a great place
It really is!
Attitude of gratitude 🙏
Love that!
Wyoming isn’t that cold…if you’re from Montana.
That's true!
And that nice Ford F-100 in the driveway! I might add another one some day - '68 Ford F-100 :)
Let's see. Deal with cold weather (which I did when in the military) or swim through junkies, bums, and beggers on the sidewalks of Los Angeles???? Yeah, I still plan to move to Wyoming in a couple of years. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
That is why I am in Wyoming. The golf course becomes my snowshoe course in the winter.
im in florida and its filling up fast. Im done with crowds and the heat. Im thinking hard about this vid.
Born and raised in Wyoming... Very remote and sparse. Almost where you won't see anyone for miles 😂. Weather can be crazy, not 'wild wild west' 😂 comes about as close as you can get.
Yeeehaw! 🐎🐎
Dry cold does not compare to wet humid cold. I live in Iowa and what happens in WY. Happens in NE. And IA. .wind blows across the plains . But not as cold but plenty of wind .
#1 Thing you need to know before moving to Wyoming - nobody currently living in Wyoming wants you to move here
WELL SAID!!!
Just real estate agents like this lady
You got that right
I wish we could have enforced for California. It's gone downhill fast; "they've" destroyed it.Bumper stickers used to say "welcome to California, now go home", then we got crooks for politicians and other damn states bus their homeless here.
We do like tourist though! Come have fun, go fishing, spend your money and have a great time. But you will be encouraged to eventually leave.
Thank you very much for including a discussion of Wyoming gun laws and concealed/open carry. Those are of interest to me, and I was glad to hear that Wyoming accommodates both of those things. I’m going to watch a few more of your videos about Wyoming.
Wyoming is closed check back next year
Lol
This was a spectacular video explanation. WY looks great. I'm debating between Wyoming or New Hampshire or Washington State for low taxes and high on nature.
Thank you!
We're talking about number 3. With that said, the socialist communist democrat party needs to stay the hell out of this state and not screwed up like they've done other states. I also own property in nevada, but that's a big butt now. One thing you kind of missed on this only 5 days of the year that the wind don't blow.
The wind hasn't been as bad now, but it definitely has its moments of having bad wind. So not ready for winter and the cold temperatures.
I want to move to Wyoming from UK , I’m Polish citizen and I’m wondering how is a work on Heavy plant in there ,Or any muck shift or civil construction?
Shhhhhh! One of the best things about Wyoming is the lack of people. Stop trying to screw that up!
Videos are not going to ruin that.
Can you get around on the streets there, like in Casper, in a car in the winter time? I know you can with a 4-wheel drive vehicle, but how about just a regular car with front-wheel drive?
And are they pretty good at snow plowing the streets and keeping them drivable?
You can but I wouldn't recommend it. Many of the neighborhoods do not get plowed on a regular basis and sometimes the snow comes down or drifts so fast it is impossible toto keep up.
Thank you - appreciate that info.@@alishacollinsrealestate
Most of the time the snow in Casper has so little moisture content that driving in it is no problem at all. You can't even make a snowball or a snowman. We grew up with RWD cars and with snow tires did just fine 99% or the time. The other 1% of the time you simply stay home. Casper has a weather phenomenon call Chinook winds. The winds come over the mountains and warm things up very quickly. It can be around 0 degrees one day and warm up to 40 the next day and melt everything quickly. I guess that's one reason to appreciate the "windy city".
@@cottydry Thanks for letting me know - apprecaite your time.
Wyoming is no longer accepting new people. Please try Montana. We’re closed.
Lol
Montana is closed....please dont mention "The last best place" on the net.....shhhh
That's how we feel in Florida
Republican in California here. I'm looking.
I have a plan to set up a digital marketing and domes fabrication company in Casper, I'm wondering if I can get employees here... What do you think???
moving to cheyenne this summer to live with some family, i’m really excited and hoping in a few years i can buy myself a nice place to call home
Congratulations and best wishes!
I hope you like the wind.
@@PE9A3p4hUfwv 😂
Buying your first home is the best!
"The weather will make you wish...." I am moving to Wyoming from Minnesota.
Any more questions about weather in Wyoming?
Keep the California's out of Wyoming
hope you do!
Amen!
I miss Wyoming. I grew up in Douglas, and as a young adult lived in Casper, Cheyenne, Gillette, Buffalo, Laramie, Jackson, Cody and Laramie. I permanently moved away in 1991. I believe I hold the distinction of having been fired from more Wyoming radio stations than anyone else. When I lived in Casper I lived at El Sid / Fox Hill apartments and last I checked it’s still there.
Wow lol Fox Hill apartments are still there!
Internet? Think Starkink.
