Unboxing New Hampshire: What It's Like Living In New Hampshire

- Does everyone in New Hampshire hate people from Massachusetts?
Is everyone in New Hampshire a libertarian?
And is everyone here white?
We’ll answer those questions and talk about a lot more! So let’s hop in the car - but we don’t have to wear our belts! Cause we’re drive through and Unbox the state of New Hampshire!
Okay so this looks pretty charming. A neat little town tucked away into the forests. The kind of place where they know your coffee order by heart, and where you can probably get all the local gossip from the maple syrup guy. This is the REAL America, mister. Before it got all screwed up. Of course, nowhere is perfect, and we’ll get to that, too.
New Hampshire sure doesn’t look like much, but it’s actually the 42nd most populous state. There’s actually big cities and stuff to do. I mean, it’s not ALL plaid flannel jacket wearing crotchety gun loving forest dwellers.
It’s beautiful. It’s safe. Kinda boring and very independent. To get a well-rounded view of this state, we need to look at the whole place and then visit each different area. Then we’ll know what New Hampshire is REALLY like.
This is New Hampshire. As you can see, most of the state is heavily forested with small towns scattered throughout, and most of the population and entertainment is on the southern end of the state. But we’re going to begin up here first. Northern New Hampshire is kinda like Alabama with snow.

The best video on this topic!
Here is my entire Unboxing Series: th-cam.com/play/PLq-_cmf3H6yqgM1vGG305six5T7dqGURF.html
603 The Shire! Also, was your NH song to the tune of the Heathcliff theme?
It is! You are awesome!
I watched your entire playlist on unboxing states.
Here are my 3 most favorite states.
1.Delaware.
2.Texas.
3.Florida.
The best part about NH aside from the fact that every single town has a state run liquor store is the “Live Free or Die” motto. It’s just objectively more badass than every other state motto.
💯
If only the actual legislature followed this 😅
And it's on all the license plates. Nothing cooler than that.
Did you ever hear the George Carlin skit on state mottos? He said that he would never live in a state where they talk about death on the license plate...LOL
The one complaint I always had with NH liquor stores, the worst hours ever. Some locations close at 8 or 9pm, many others at like 5 or 6pm. Seriously, same hours guys for all locations and it shouldn't close that early. But at least I can get beer and wine anywhere.
‘They have a healthy distrust in the government’ I like that
Lol its true. I know democrats, republicans and independents. Everyone has a good healthy dose of distaste and distrust of government in general. Our state motto is legit "Live Free or Die" 😆
Good thinking.
Many of us do. There has been an influx from Mass. so more and more people are beginning to really like government. I am not one.
Actually the state government is solid red.
I have lived in NH for 26 years and this is completely true.
I have family ties to New Hampshire, and am considering leaving FL. I don't mind snow, cold, mountains, trees, and freedom. As much as I love FL, I love the thought of a crisp, autumn chill, clear, bright skies, and a people around me that distrust the government as much as I do.
Great video.
exactly! 4 seasons- hot in the summer and cold in the winter- the cold keeps the bugs to a minimum ;)
Dude you have Ron Desantis relax
@@garycolonna470 Florida sucks, dude.
I moved there from Florida, Clearwater area, in 2002. Adjusting to the winter was rough but NH has its good points. Didn’t hate it but by 2015 I was ready to move back down South. Where I live in NC is kind of like a good medium between the two. Easy winters but still seasons and not as crazy overpopulated as Florida. Have both beaches and mountains.
I've lived here for 26 years and honestly, I can't see myself ever leaving. I love New Hampshire.
how are the winters?
@@pamellamarindi8672 bad we had one this year in the spam of 1 day it got like 1 foot of snow it was horrible
Should I move. I am an indian
@@andyc9902 I mean as long as you are fine with the weather changing at any moment than yeah sure
@@jacobjohnson3492 thank you
Important to note: “Rough, run down and drug riddled” in NH is still not that bad compared to other areas in the country you would use those labels on.
As a NH resident I can attest to this. I'm a 5 foot tall smol girl and feel safe walking through those areas alone at night.
Bingo. That was an exaggeration.
It’s because everyone is doped up on heroin as opposed to meth or crack, so instead of terrorizing the city the junkies are sleeping 🤣
Agreed
@@Bob-vp3dc Speaking straight facts. Lol!
Honorable mention not discussed: gigantic state run liquor stores at truck stops off the highways
State monopolized alcohism
Hookset truckstop
Ya we need to also open up state run dispensaries . But Feds yaknow
@@graves5696 I 100 percent agree
I don't mind the state run highway liquor stores
70 years old and I’ve lived here all but the first two years of my life. I’ll never understand why people move here from ‘away’ and immediately want to make our state just like the state they just left! Insane!
How do you feel about the free state project?
That is ridiculous. People move there for freedom NOT to make it like the hell they left.
I remember my first time going to New Hampshire. We hit the state line and all I heard was the sound of all of the seatbelts coming undone and coiling back up. They looked at me weird since I didn't take mine off, and reminded me I didn't have to wear mine there. I told them that it was ok, if we got in an accident, I would just stay with the car and make sure everything was alright.
CAPITAL OF HAITIAN
Its the same with helmets, motorcycle riders will usually pull over on the side of the highway right after they cross the border sign so they can take their helmet off
@@paulytetris8306yup seatbelts off, helmets off but you have to leave the weed in MA or ME lol
I have no idea why TH-cam recommended me this video. I live in Kenya, Africa. 🤔 But this guys is funny and very interesting to listen to. So, you just got a subscriber

I moved to NH in June last year, and I have already learned to hate Massachusetts.
I’m from Massachusetts and live in New Hampshire currently and people are very skeptical of me when I tell them that. Then they laugh at all my rude remarks at my birth state🤣
I’ve lived in New hampshire my whole life and untill watching this video i did not know people hated mass
@@caseycoffin915 ok masshole
MA has legal weed-the only reason to go there 👍

Spent a week in New Hamphire, it's beautiful in the summer. Watch out for potholes....
Also they don't seem to be F'ing around about the "live free or die" thing. It's refreshing
Everybody got guns up in here.
@@b1k2q34 .......you have no idea what you are talking about goofy
@@b1k2q34 Yes it is. Im from the UK where we cant even effectively defend ourselves without being charged. Thank your lucky stars you still have those precious rights.
The most dangerous place in New Hampshire is still safer than the state of California lol
*than
I live in California, and I’m afraid of nh
Blhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahbabaa
Thats a 90% white state.
bloody right, NH is the best, I left the dumpster fire of Québec, to be where I belong.
New Hampshire is sounding pretty damn good to me.
Its not bad but be prepared to be snowed in 9 months of the year. And cost of living is high for low wages.
@@JesusChrist2000BC You're exaggerating on the snow. New Hampshire has a full four seasons, though yes Spring and Fall do feel short. Summer is hot and humid and last from May until September. Winter is cold and snowy and lasts from November to March. October is fall, April is spring.
@@markroy8342 Not exaggerating anything. I'm trying to prevent more people from moving here so people can actually afford to live and buy property.
@@JesusChrist2000BC it's a fine line. Yes we should want to preserve the beauty and culture of our state, but with no implants we'll end up like VT. Poor, no business, tourist economy. NH already relies too heavily on tourism IMO
I smoke weed on my channel for a living
New Hampshire, the cooler, more business savvy brother, of Vermont.
Yeah, pretty much. If I need to shop for anything but groceries or hardware, I need to drive either across the border to Littleton or Lebanon, or all the way on the other side of Vermont to the Burlington area.
Cooler? LOL
@@eurodoc6343 Hello Thomas, how you doing?
Not so sure about that I’ve lived in NH for over 20 years. I honestly like Vermont a lot better.
Ehh on the “cooler”
WOWOW! This is extremely well researched and scary accurate for an out of stater. Great job and very much appreciate you giving my state a fair shake. Quality work for sure 😀
that's just the tip of the iceberg! NH rocks and is loaded with things to do! :)
A lot of the video clips didn't match the parts of the state he was talking about at the time, Hillsboro isn't in Coos county
Wait the Atlantic craft?!
I love your videos what part of NH are you from because I am from concord
Well, the Atlantic craft is from New Hampshire... I learned something new today. Welcome to ice and expensive tires, I'm your host, getting pulled over for another chunk of snow on the trunk-
RIP Old Man in the Mountain. Gone but not forgotten
Old man of the mountain was murdered
@@damnyankee9941 Why did they cancel Futuramaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....
RIP
grew up visiting him every summer so dad could fly fish Profile Lake while we picnic'ed. Sad My kids will never see him. But, i can still take them to see Indian Head. :)
Who?
The old man in the mountain didn't fall. He jumped. Why because of all the mass holes moving in.
Probably a lot of Marc's living in NH because Marc is French Canadian. Also my name.
@@marct7905 I know about almost all of Coös being French Canadian and tons of people speak French.
And more of us are moving up there to flee this shithole state of Trashachusetts.
LOL!
If I could like this twice, I would!
I have a friend that lives in Australia, he's a traveler.. Been everywhere. He reminded my son and I how lucky we are to wake up the beauty around us everyday. He said NH & VT are two of the most beautiful places he's ever been. With the humid summers, and frigid winters sometimes one forgets. If I had one complaint.. I'd say give me the winter wind in the summer please, someone got it backwards. And to the out of staters, you're not in Connecticut anymore.. You don't need to cut in front of us, it's an open road lol
"Does everyone that lives in New Hampshire hate everyone from Massachusetts?"
Yes. Yes we do.
So much for...."Love thy neighbor as thyself." -Jesus
Ah yes. Our salty hillbilly cousin
Massholes is what we call them, mostly because of how they drive on the highway
Flatlanders...stay off our mountains and out of our lakes!
Mass drivers drive as if the roads are a PvP Enabled zone :P
This makes NH look so boring.
I’ve lived here for 27 years and I absolutely love it here.
Me too...this is kinda goofy. Ill take NH over any big city lol
Aside from how incredibly rude everyone is here lol yeah it’s not so bad
@@aledmonds5448 people can be rude everywhere though 🤷🏻♀️ the rudest people
I’ve encountered were in Atlanta and NYC.
Ive been to NH only 2 times and those 2 times were the best experiences ever. Theres so much you guys have that you can do unlike where I live all we got is clothing stores, food stores, the park.
@@aledmonds5448 yea most people here are pretty nice.
I love New Hampshire, nothing like hiking in the whites.
And among the whites
Filled with massholes.
@@evognayr haha.........I'm from Massachusetts, but that's a pretty funny name, "massholes".
Double entendre
Oh yeah the white mountains down in the south part of the state are a lot of fun
"New Hampshire is where Vermont goes to shop."
And Massatwoshits! If it wasn't for MA commerce, Seabrook, Plaistow, and Salem would be little towns.
@@shotgunwilly4685 You're not wrong lmao. I'm from Newburyport so I do go into Seabrook and Salem to ditch sales tax lmao.
And Massachusetts and Maine!
I love that you are so consistently honest with your videos!
I love that they don’t trust the government, goodstuff 😂👏🏾
Probably the reason they are the second most free in the US behind Alaska.
It's true we don't lol family has been here since 1642 and seen enough fuckery out of the gov.
@@WallSt101 yeah that’s true. Than again people in Alaska are allowed to drive cars with hole in the body, broken shocks, etc... I knew someone from Fairbanks and they could get away with almost anything up there
Try not paying your property taxes in NH, and the government will seize your property and sell it at the speed of sound. Even for $200.00. Told to me by a City Hall employee: "They do it all the time."
Well...I hiked the appalachian trail in 2021 and NH might have been the most masked-up state of the 14 I hiked thru. They seemed really happy to do as the government said.
The biggest problem with NH is that particularly south of the notches it is getting too expensive for working people to live to not become impoverished. Housing costs are the biggest problem. Good job, Nick of balancing out the pros and cons of living here.
Yeah property tax and regulation on real estate are the biggest factors driving people out of the state. You can't keep young people here. I'd rather have a sales tax and do away with continuous property tax than people having to pay $5k a year on a home they already bought.
There should be a way for older people to exempt themselves from property taxes, but the taxes are low compared to states with many tax streams, because when you have 1 tax you pay attention to it. It's also a tax that is more or less depending on what your local government is doing, which you have more control over than state level taxation. And, everyone pays it, renters, home owners, and businesses.
People are getting poorer too
@@brittanybanks1370 u taggin the same tom im thinikn bout?
Yep apartments here are way too expensive never mind trying to buy a house. I’m from Dover and go to UNH. it’s not looking likely that I’ll be able to move out any time soon :(
I love NH. ' if you don't like the weather, wait a minute'. Farm stands, we see all seasons, fishing fresh seafood. Small towns, Love Hampton beach! So so busy summer time
Hampton Beach is no small town. Stay out unless you plan to buy lots and lots of touristy things, in which case....Spend Spend Spend. New Hampton counts as a part of mass in my book
"does everyone in NH hate people from mass?" yes next question please
NO a lot of northern mass migrate north to NH. Its a long time rival. Most of us live and Nh and have relitives in Mass Vice versa.
Good thing I’m from Rhode Island 😂. Moving to NH for college.
I wouldn't say everyone in NH hates Mass but you either love or hate Mass. But mostly everyone in NH hates Mass.
Why?😂
@@neo3419 you are correct most of NH cant hate massholes because they are massholes
My child is one of the 70 that attends the Pittsburg school 😊
I'm leaving a comment. Not because I have anything to say. Just because I know it is good for the TH-cam algorithm. :)
👍...I do that a lot too!
thanks :) Love you guys!
@@NickJohnson what will you do when you run out of states to unbox and cities to rank
Well...it looks like you did have something to say after all.
I'll just copy and paste. Thank you
I've lived here all my life! Love my NH! I'm so glad that in all these TH-cam videos NONE of the real gems of towns here are revealed! We'll keep them our secret! 😉
I live in Sanbornton and I feel like it’s one of those hidden towns. We get a few people coming through because of Steele hill but it is mostly quiet
Biggest problem in all of New England is the cost of living. And the biggest issue after that is jobs. Especially the requirements most jobs have, it’s abhorrent. I’m from New England myself, had to move to the Midwest for better opportunity. New England will alway be home, but man, I wish I could live there and afford it. Wish I could have the job I have here, back home. But it’s impossible.
The only thing you got wrong is all of New Hampshire hates Massachusetts
We don't hate people from Mass.. Just hate their driving habits.
@@Olivia-pj6fw no it will always be a hate to them
Massholes
It's true, we do.
No we hate them. Do you evah cross the border. I don't
That unboxing states music is beast
But what is it? Sounds like intro from Grimes...

@@squidman22 Wow, I've being trying to discover this song for a while, thank you!!
Yes totally ! The jingle to introduce Nick & Mappy .......
I agree!
As a native new hampshirite, very accurate if anybody is wondering. Would however like to point out the difference between the rich weekend warriors in the lake region and the islanders. Very different demographics. One has cabin cruisers, the other has beach chairs and a cooler on an open barge
I love living in the Shire. Elm street in Manchester is pretty cool and has been revamped in recent years. The Historic district in Manchester is beautiful and full of vintage homes. Winter is cold and usually snowy but that's how we like it here.
Moved to New Hampshire just over three years ago. I'm in love with the state and plan to stick around for a bit.
Welcome. Where'd you end up living? Like what town are you in?
I moved here in 2014, I plan on dying in NH.
I wanna move to NH too, somewhere around Manchester. But im kinda worried that as a black person ill miss the more diverse community im used to
@@Johnny-nt2ng There is diversity around Manchester, but not as diverse as Atlantic City.
@@Johnny-nt2ng Nashua and Manchester is where you’ll find diversity.

so uppity jim.
Nashua is nice actually. Except for the tree streets or French Hill
@@codygrimaldi1347 nashua is split 50/50 with very poor and very rich, the closer you get to greeley park, the more rich, but once you reach the park it goes back to poor XD
@@codygrimaldi1347 I know where French hill is. What is the comment about "tree streets"? I live up in Manchester.
@@paulcourtemanche2386 there are several streets with tree names near the old court house. Pine, Chestnut, Ash, etc. They're not a nice place.
Awesome job showcasing the Granite State and i love living here. Also i really enjoyed the Heathcliff themed song at the end.
Thank you for keeping it real with this video. I think people need to know more about a state than the cost of living. Yes, cost is important but you tell us the other things that are going on. THANK YOU!
Lived here for 9 months originally from NYC, then moved down to Virginia... I am so excited to move back to NH. How tf can you NOT want to live in a state that has “live free or die” is their motto. I found my soul in New Hampshire, then had to leave to find out it was my soul.
Just leave the Wokism behind mind your business and you'll have no problem in NH
NH definitely has more than one beach.
yeah but Hampton is the only popular one
16 miles worth
Yeah, like 3-4
Yeah but unless you live closer to one of those other beaches, you say "I'm going to the beach today" and people think Hampton
Well, growing up, when we used to say we were going to the beach, we meant Wallis Sands. Hampton Beach was for the tourists, not people who lived in the area.
Spot on! I’m from Vermont and I shop all over NH. In my opinion it’s one of the most beautiful states going. Great video!
It is so pretty!
G'day from Australia! Wonderful documentary.
Fun fact: Wilton NH is named after my Great Great Great Grandfather, Sir Joseph. 👍😎🇦🇺
We got to give it up to nick... he is so consistent. He doesn't post content every day and he doesn't wait months to upload... it's the perfect amount of time to anticipate the next state unboxing video or ride along video, or state factoid video.

"Nice people, sorta snobby."
This is new hampshire in a sentence.
we are not "snobby" we just want be left the F alone.
@@nhroadhog7701 exactly haha
or grumpy??
I can confirm.
Less snobby, more crazy
I grew up in New England and have lived in NH for a decade, in multiple regions and cities/towns. This is super accurate overall. I'd add that there are some (small) nice parts of Nashua, but I agree that it's not really a "destination." Also, compared to many other states (and similar to VT), people here aren't very nice and go out of their way to avoid each other for the most part. You definitely don't get into sidewalk chats with random strangers on a regular basis and people keep each other at an arm's length until they have known you for years. It can feel very cold and off-putting if you aren't used to it.
Very nice state from April/May through October if you are into outdoors activities, but the bloodsucking insects are no joke. The ticks in particular are an absolute plague.
NEW HAMPSHIRE: "Live free or die"
MARIJUANA IS ILLEGAL
I LOVE NH !
Not 100%, you can get medical if you try. And we are becoming more enlightened, slow but sure.
Literally..
And yet, as of my writing this, legal recreationally in every bordering state & country!
New Hampshire is such a safe state that people look down on places like Nashua which actually has a crime rate much lower than the national average.
wonder why the crime rate is low?? hmmm
The safest, lowest crime rate state still.
@Robert Rohde Hello, you good?
We got a lot of guns
Nashua is like an average city compared to the rest of the country yet in NH it's the red headed step child. That's how clean the state is.
As a NH native I found this to be a very nice and quite accurate explanation of my state, if I had anything to suggest it would be to just mention how much Boston effects the state.
PARTS of the state.
*affects
negatively I might add
This was an awesome video. I’ve never traveled the country. You’re so informative and the editing is adorable
Hello 👋 you caught my attention I must confess. Good morning 🌄 how was your night sleep??
what an amazing mix of research, humor and sarcasm is it..well done!! and the song lol
I honestly can't really think of much negative about New Hampshire when I first think of it. I think of it as Vermont but cooler.
JohnNH approves. Nice job on the pronunciation of Burlin.
I’ve lived here for 19 years since I was born, it’s about time someone actually recognized us
As a lifelong New Hampshirite, I would say you got most of this right. Thank you for covering the whole state. Most people never acknowledge the towns north of Concord
he did a good job, excepting the pronunciation of Stratham
To be a bit fair, most people in NH think it's basically uninhabited passed Concord.
I live in NH! 'Trashua' specifically. Although that only really describes the downtown portion of Nashua. Much of the rest of the city is very quaint and suburban. For three summers now I have been trying to buy a house in southern NH, but the real estate is becoming a crises here for first time home buyers. I can afford up to $350K, but every single house I bid on I am outbid and I lose even if I waive inspection (because everyone is doing that right now). A ton of people are coming to NH, and no one is leaving, driving the prices through the roof.
Hoping I get lucky this summer and can snag a house somewhere in Merrimack, Londonderry, Hudson, Litchfield, Nashua. Then get a vacation lake house in the much cheaper VT lol.
I'm in the same boat! Keeping our hopes up for Spring inventory. Best of luck!
I live in pelham, the market is insane......
Buy off season. I scored a beautiful 2500 square foot, 4/3/2 house in Merrimack for under $350k in March 2017. We looked for a long time, but there are deals.
hudson townie here!!
Hudson is great! 😎
New Hampshire is the only state I know of with big State liquor stores in the rest areas of Interstate highways.
Hence live free or die
That's because there's no alcohol tax or sales tax, so people from out-of-state wanna get in on it
YES! I’m from Hampstead, NH. Love that Hooksett toll booth. Liquor stores on both sides of RT. 93, but they are really nice ones. But I’ve always laughed at the “messaging”.
Which you can legally drive to in your uninsured vehicle while not wearing a seat-belt.
@Raymond Makul Hello, how you doing?
Scenery looks absolutely gorgeous
Thanks for your videos … they’re so fun but at the same time I’ve been learning about each state
I’m a Northern New Hampshire native and this is pretty spot-on. I own rental units in Berlin and Portsmouth and it always amazes that Portsmouth and Berlin are in the same state! We do hate people from MA, NY, CT, RI.
And pretty much anywhere else bar Maine and Vermont
Hey. My sons is moving...can we talk rentals? Gotta start somewhere
as a lifelong connecticut resident i feel offended 😭
Those same Massholes back at it again
I have been visiting Northern NH and the white Mountains for most of my life. I have to tell you that the people from that area are super friendly. They treat you like a close friend or maybe that you are the first human they have seen in a lone time and want someone to talk to. Those people are the reason why I moved to NH.
My Cousins moved to New Hampshire, they like it well enough. Two words: Deep Pockets. Cheap it ain’t.
I live in NH and yes an average price for monthly rent for a one bed is $1,000 plus utilities, terrible
@@curtiswilliams5223 I was up there a few years ago looking for housing and there was absolutely nothing in that price range, more like $2,500 and up.
@@jonlouis2582 1285 nice place in manch
If you live in the middle of nowhere it's not as expensive...
@@andersonsilver6978 I realized that since then, I was looking near my job offer which turned out to be the most expensive part of the state. And my cousins live outside of Keene, which also seems to be expensive. They feel like it’s worth it though, their kids had an awesome environment to grow up in.
We live in the no man’s land between “Rich Lake People w. View Taxes” and Concord and really enjoyed this video 🤣 So spot on!
Nice area!
This was a short video but packed with good information, thank you!
I am a crotchety gun owning flannel wearing forest dweller from NH. Just the southern part. The "Nice families" section. Good video. We all agree that Massachusetts is ruining NH. One lefty at a time.
It's a problem we must keep working on lol
@Stew Puddy Hello, you good?
Virus is spreading
Property tax isn't that high compared to CT, NJ, and NY.
True, although CT it's getting ridiculously expensive annually.
For reference I live in Nashua in a Colonial style house on 1/10 acre, standard suburb--- and the property tax is $6500 a year. When I lived in CO I had a giant house more than twice as big on 5 acres and the taxes were under $1000.
@@thesollylama130 I live on 1 acre in Stratham and my property tax is about $5500 a year. I'm not even that far into the state and I'm paying a small faction in comparison. My land is worth more than the house.
I live in Queens county New York. Very small house 1,000 sq ft.. Property tax currently $7,400/yr. Really mind boggling when I see much lower property tax in many other states. A couple of years ago when my wife and I were considering a relocation (we're retired) NH looked appealing but cost of homes and property tax were in the con column. As Nick said P tax varies depending on what NH city you're in.
@@thesollylama130 yes but Colorado has a sales tax if 2.9% and an income tax of 4.63%. Plus there are many towns with lower mill rates then Nashua.
U are hilarious unlocking the states 🤣love your videos
For an outsider you did do a great job recapping New Hampshire, indeed many of us hates Massachusettsians and you also did a good job recapping all about the major towns. Coming from someone who lives in the Suburbanties and has lived here for the majority of my life.
I’m from weare and I can confirm the joke you made is made non stop from everybody outside of Weare and people inside of weare get real tired of it😂
Oh yeah, I get that completely!!
I feel like 90% of the time, the "joke" is being made by someone from NH who doesn't live in Weare, and possibly has never been there. I feel like I've never heard a tourist make that joke.
Another Wearian here, and I can testify to that. I've lived here for 15 years and have heard that joke 187,000 times.
And it gets worse...I live in NORTH Weare...so yeah, I live "nowhere". Har har. 😣😒
Hey I grew up in New Boston and used that joke about Weare. At least it's not as bad as some of the other comments about Weare that I have heard from my old man about that town. I get the comments when I explaine the surrounding towns to New Boston and I say goffstown, Weare, Mont Vernon, and Bedford.
We had a magician come in town when I was a little kid, and they did that joke to my sister. She was not amused lol.
If it weren't for these enjoyable videos, I wouldn't have known many interesting details about many places. This youtuber has a gift.
This TH-camr hopes you enjoyed it

As someone who lives on the west side of Manchester, I can say it's not that bad, so long as you don't live around Kelly Street. If you live around Mast Road, College Ave, Rochelle Ave, etc then it's actually pretty nice
This was incredibly accurate! My parents have lived in concord for 30 years and it is indeed getting better and better. Very nice town- every time I visit it’s nicer.
You really crammed a bunch of very useful information into a short period of time. Well done Nick.
Always rich
Lived here my whole life (so far, im 40), its a pretty good compromise! Not too hot, not too cold, generally rare storms. People are decent except for the Massholes. The property taxes can suck an egg though. We also have Fritz Weatherbee, a real gem. But by gosh, that closing song! WIN!
Fritz fucking weatherbee. the man the myth the absolute legend of new hampshire and all its chronicles
this was super accurate and funny. thank you for the representation 😂😁
My 8th great grandfather fought for New Hampshire during the America Revolution and we were 130 Years before that. And we were recognized as being"amongst the first settleing families of a new nation" in 1876.
He's buried in Salem N.H., beside my 8th great grandmother Mary Flood.
Forgot to mention my ancestors name was John Cluff.
He likely fought alongside of James Whitehouse, one of my 5th-great grandfathers on my mom's side. And as for my last name, that started with my 7th-great just to the north in Trois-Rivieres, QC (a spinoff, or "dit" of LeFebvre). But Dad's ancestors skipped NH and settled in Haverhill, MA. Still, I have several distant cousins in NH with the name.
You did a really nice job with this video, Nick. Anthony and Chase sure know their state well! Also, nice touch with the Heathcliff theme song. I'm glad you mentioned Mount Washington. The train ride to the top is half the fun! I do wish you had said something about the state liquor and wine outlets, as they are one of New Hampshire's quirks. I can't help but agree with you about people from New Hampshire's making a lot of sense politically. Two of my favorite presidential candidates in recent years have been Ron Paul and Tulsi Gabbard--both of whom were very popular in New Hampshire.
Yay Matt! Good choices.
I'd consider New Hampshire, but the brutal winter will most likely drive me away 😢😢😢
Not sure how you define brutal winter? When it snows at least road crews know how to take care of business. It’s not the Artic
@@highline64 Who are you kidding, the roads are terrible and it takes forever to get anywhere.
Learn to ski and you'll love the winter.
The winters aren’t brutal.
Moved here from Texas. Winters are awesome. The scenery is fantastic. There are a lot of activities in the winter.
I love NH. It's beautiful in Fall. I look forward to returning to VISIT.
As is always the case, growth spurs expansion growth and Rochester and Somersworth are benefiting from Dovers growth. Lot’s of building going up up there and more jobs. The great thing about the seacoast area is that lake Winnie is 40 minutes away and the ocean is 35 minutes away.
I liked the bit about how New Hampshire people hate the Massachusetts transplants. As a guy from Delaware, we hate the New Jersey transplants.
I transplanted from NH to DE. Hate the state but love the grandchildren.
We hate the Jersey bastards here too. A lot. They're like worse than the Massholes
I love autumn and winter views
What an accurate video of the state of grew up in! Specifically Weare and Henniker! THE LAST SHOT IS OF HENNIKER!! ❤️
The only Henniker on Earth! Lol. I listen to the radio too much.
@@saltpeter7429 it is indeed! Haha
I am and old “Masshole” in remission. Went to UNH in the 80s and have been living here most of my adult life. This funny piece was VERY accurate!
New Hampshire: A suburb of Massachusetts
Not at all. Other than Boston sports, we have no use for Massachusetts.
Grew up in Lincoln. Definitely beautiful. Unfortunately, for people like me who didn't get into skiing or whatnot it was a pretty monotonous winter. Best part was basically anywhere you were in town you were only a few minutes walking distance to a river. I miss that!! Also there was this huge painted sign on some old granite slabs at old hole that said "Don't MASS up NH" 😉😉
i wish i knew that about the sign nicole!
🤣 Fellow forest dweller from Skid Row here. Laughed through the whole video. Great job! I think you really captured the spirit of NH.
I really laughed out loud too! It was pretty funny....and I live in NH.
It reminds me so much of Canada. It’s like a mashup up of all of our different provinces.
Nashua is safe, fun and not a ghetto. I've lived there over 10 years and can tell you it's perfectly safe. Compared to any city in California, Nashua is a gem.
Dude I'm from Nashua and it's been a lot better than it was in the past 10 but prior to that it was bad really bad. French Hill, the tree streets Pine, Vine and crime, the cops were currupt, the Latin kings presence and the opiate crisis. Yeah Nashua is a real gem!
I grew up in Plaistow, and bought a house there in my 20s now live I live in Nashua, I love it here too.
OK - I live in NH - I have for over 10 years. Good video, mostly accurate - missed A LOT - but, time and space doesn’t allow for much - understandable. I LOVE New Hampshire! Gorgeous state with LOTS to do. There is actually more than one beach but, Hampton is the biggest and most popular. Seafood is Awesome here. The White mountains are breathtaking and the Kancamagus Highway is a must do - Best Mountain View’s, trails, river, falls and the location of the Continental Divide (although it gets super busy and mobbed in the fall with a HUGE Indian population (not native) that descend on the HWY at this time. There can be traffic jams - this is somewhat new. Nice people tho. Not trying to be critical just informative. One can find everything in this state - ocean, mountains, farmlands, woods and wildlife. I almost hit a moose at least 3 times. Lots of bears too. Great Place. Nice video.
good info. lake winnepesauki is lovely- and big. nice cemetaries too.
Finally moved to NH from MA this year. Thanks Nick. Your videos are well made.
After living in the south for 15 years, I'm finally able to move back home. Can't beat NH for quality of living!
Another great video! Used to live in NH. Had a traumatic past there so wouldn't move back, but it's pretty nice! Also, hope you do Nevada soon
The Upper Valley, in my humble opinion, is the jewel of the state. People complain that there's not a lot to do, but that's not true. Skiiing/snowboarding, swimming/boating, hiking, concerts, art shows, theatre. The list goes on!
I moved to NH for college about 8 years ago and I haven’t left since, except for 2 years in Boston.
Yeah, it’s not the most exciting state and it’s not perfect, but for right now, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I love this state!
There's a song by a local New Hampshire band Scissor Fight that best describes New Hampshire, it's called " Blizzards, Buzzards, Bastards."
Ha that's true!
Hampton Beach is nice, though Seabrook isn't rocky.
Hampton Beach is trashy.
the song at the end made this video extra worth the watch. Loved it !
Born and raised (in the “nice families” area). I love to travel and do it every chance I get, but I also always look forward to coming home at the end of my adventures. Thanks for being awesome NH. And love the video, spot on!
Ok Sarah ❤️
