Thank you so much for watching my video on how Wyoming isn't really changing, if you have ideas for future videos please let me know here in the comment section below.
The difference in weather is pretty substantial from Wyoming to Colorado too. It pretty amazing actually how just from Denver/Ft Collins to Cheyenne the winter weather changes so drastically.
@@SomethingDifferentFilms yeah, I lived in Cheyenne for a bit and really liked it, but the winters are somethin. I mean I live in North Dakota now so it’s not like a ran back south but WY winters like ND are not for the faint of heart.
As long as you are used to life in the Snow Belt it's fine... But if you are from the coasts or the South? It's a harsh transition to move from a hot and humid climate to cold and arid one... From Miami to Ulan Baatar as it were..
As a Wyomingite, I can confirm we also did the best job of keeping people out of our state so we don't end up like another Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Arizona or even New Mexico
We didn’t bend to others will by trying to upgrade our entertainment or give tax credits to incentivize big companies moving here, and I really like that :)
Wyoming is special as it is. It's a good balance while many are fast changing, there's a place to be slow and relaxed, when everything seems stressful. Nice follow up from your last video of Wyoming, why nobody lives there. It's my favorite state, after all 😊
Thank you Cayetano, I too love the state of Wyoming; and I will certainly be making another video on the state eventually. I really enjoy looking at a state or city from several different perspectives, so that eventually a handful of videos can give a more "whole" outline of that place.
That's very true, Guam is even talked about very little compared to other U.S. Territories. Thank you for the suggestion, I will start looking at the most important and interesting things happening with/in Guam.
As someone from New Jersey, Wyoming has always been a place of interest. Maybe I will take a summer off and live in the beautiful landscape instead of the populated suburbs in nj.
Wyoming contributes to that pollution through its industries. It's also not the paradise you're making it out to be. I've been through Wyoming and it's basically like a Rocky Mountains version of West Virginia, poor, backwards, little industry, brain drain, etc. Its average income is distorted by the billionaires in the resort towns and with their massive ranches. Despite its self-image of rugged "independence" the state is propped up and heavily dependent on federal aid. Republicans LOVE having a state like Wyoming that gives them outsized importance but like most of their base and their policies, they're bloated and unsustainable.
@@zyxwut321This is a lie. “Federal aid” is spent largely on federal mandates. Drop the pointless damn federal mandates and that number drops dramatically, this impacts rural areas more than urban because the service area for various things has higher density in an urban area. It also means people in rural areas get lower quality services per dollar in taxes. You call us backwards, but communism is backwards. Homeless enablement is backwards. Drug use is backwards. Grooming little kids is backwards.
The reason city slickers complain about Wyoming, Kansas or Iowa is they think those places are "boring." So they move there and bring their sins, crimes, vices and "woke" politics with them to make those places more "exciting." Let that be a lesson: Those people are like cancer cells.
@@williamwilkins3084People are kept out either way. New constructions, residential development, etc. are difficult to get permits for and hardly and new housing gets added, which leads to it not being able to get any sort of significant population growth. It does grow, but very slowly and limited
My name is Glenn Woods - I host a morning radio talk show heard on stations across Wyoming. This was a good video. The only thing lacking is WHY we don't take federal government money for many things and why we enjoy living in small towns that don't have many amenities. YES, we produce coal, gas, and oil. These are affordable and reliable fuels that pollute a lot less and have a lower impact on the land than wind and solar. In other words, what we do might seem out of step to some, but we have our reasons.
You can’t possibly believe that coal, gas and oil “pollute a lot less and have a lower impact on the land than wind and solar” my friend. There are just three possibilities here: 1) You mis-typed something, 2) You’re trolling for responses from guys like me, or 3) You’re a total RWNJ.
@@chasbodaniels1744 Dig deeper into how wind and solar farms are created. I mean dig really deep and you’ll find out that in fact, oil and gas and Cole have less of an impact. I mean really really dig into it don’t just do a surface dive.
@@themaverickproject4577 Good attempt at educating but people on that end of the political spectrum are generally incapable of independent thought and self education, which is why they like going to a lot of universities - they need someone to tell them what to think. If these people really "cared about the environment" they would get rid of their cars, take public transportation, and stop wearing and using any products made out of petroleum.
I was born and raised in SoCal, lived more south of LA where it was more spread out, my dad wanted to give me a good start in life and when it started expanding and growing he told me this isnt what he wanted for me and he said he was sorry. I moved myself to Colorado for 2 years then moved back to SoCal for anlther 2 because of my dads declining health. Living in Colorado i was miserable, it just didnt fit what i wanted but i had always dreamed of living in wyoming after driving up there for work. After my dads health stabilized i decided it was time to make my own way again, and when i told my dad i thinking about wyoming he smiled. Been here 3 months and id say my lady and i are the happiest we have ever been and my dad even said he was very proud of me. This state you gotta be a certain breed but if you are that kinda breed, its a wonderful state to live in, we both are excited for the snow. The politics are great too, theres no fighting because everyone has a libertarian mindset, and its honestly great. Keep wyoming wyoming.
When I was a traveling salesman I was in northern Wyoming on some country road. When I went around a bend there was a whole herd of cattle walking along the road with the cowboys moving them along. I asked one of the cowboys what I could do and he said, "just go through them slowly", which I did. It took a few minutes and some of the cattle were curious but they kept moving, slowly moved out of the way, and I was through without further issues. LOL!
I may have grown up in Colorado but less than 50 miles from the Wyoming border and Cheyenne, so I am familiar with the State and the climate. Two facts I like about Cheyenne is that 1) over 6000 ft. above sea level and 2) about the same population as the town I grew up in back in the 70's. I would like to add that although I am now retired and after living in Miss., Ariz., N.M., and MO, as well as CO. I am very content to live out my life in Wyoming.
Nice video. I love about 30 minutes from Kemmerer. BTW, it's pronounced Kemmer (no double er sound). I've noticed that lots of people don't have many of the more techie things since I moved here. It's really kind of nice.
Thank you Caleb, I honestly felt like it sounded a bit off. I will keep your note here in mind, as I'm always trying to work on that and get better about it.
I don't blame residents for not wanting to change things much, even if it seems for the better. If they're satisfied with what they have, they're probably concerned about 'breaking' it.
My biggest observation about the West is that they eat the most meat. Giant steaks the size of your whole plate, with one piece of broccoli on the side for your daily token vegetable. If you’re into the Atkins diet Colorado or Wyoming is probably the place for you. It makes sense with so much land given to cattle grazing and not much suitable farmland.
Maybe not Colorado as much. The state is dominated by the urban areas (Denver/Boulder) and the urban cultural norms are being forced onto the rest of the state.
You mentioned it in passing at the end of the video but there IS one corner of Wyoming that's growing and changing, Cheyenne. It's where the state capital is, and the University of Wyoming in Laramie (another small but growing area) is less than 50 miles away. Most importantly, Cheyenne is less than 100 miles away from downtown Denver and its fast-growing and sprawling surrounding metropolitan area and in recent years the area has started to become kind of an outer ring exurb. Wyoming is basically like the West Virginia of the Rocky Mountains and like West Virginia's eastern panhandle has recently become an outer ring of DC's metro area, Cheyenne has just started to loosen the grip of hyperconservative forces in Wyoming.
Your immense viewership variations are particularly interesting... you got ~4M views on your first Wyoming vid, A few 100 thousands on some later vids with similar thumbnails but then ... something happened
My channel is like four months old, so that is to be expected. Also videos on this channel have always taken some time to get going for that very reason. It's really how things work in the begining with UA-cam channels; this channel is very new, but I have been doing this for a while.
I'm from Rhode Island. What if I want to move there, just to get some peace and quiet? I promise I won't bring Rhode Island's Socialist politics with me!
@@davidlafleche1142 Doesn't matter if you don't bring your politics. A east coaster will never understand us Womingans way of life. My parents relocated to Sheridan Wyoming in the 70s from Seattle because that's when crime started to get out of hand in cities and I was born here in the late 90s. In conclusion whether you are conservative or even not a socialist please stay out, we are big on community and protecting our way of life and not everyones brand of conservatism fits our state. For example me and the governor of Vermont (Phil Scott, republican) will have nothing in common since he's an east coast liberal republican.
@bretrodrigues475 I didn't go no where. I was born in Wyoming, have lived in Wyoming since then and will die in Wyoming. Your message is more suited for my parents who moved us because I was still in my dads ball sack 👍🏾
@@davidlafleche1142 the last two winters we have seen Temps with windchill down to - 60 degrees and there are not that many job opportunities. Good place to visit and see the national parks , but beyond that....
@@davidlafleche1142 working from home would be a good situation. Can't speak for all of Wyoming but where I live, they plow the snow but the street is a sheet of ice underneath and people don't slow down, nightmare to drive into town.
what are the opportunities for doctors in Wyoming? I am a Family Physician in making and considering a change in terms of living in a low-population state. any suggestions are appreciated. thanks.
Plenty of small spread out communities and opportunities for you to set up your own practice. I'm sure many would like to have more local options without having to make a drive. To put it into perspective, people on the west side of the state drive to Idaho or Utah just to go clothes shopping or make a costco run.
I would guess that in a low population state like Wyoming there is probably a significant demand for doctors, especially in more rural and small town locations where they are in short supply. Probably easier to make a living in some of the state's larger cities, like Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie (a college town), and Gillette, which would offer a larger patient base with still relatively affordable costs of living. There is also Jackson, which is a more touristy area near Yellowstone and Grand Teton. It is a ski resort town popular with wealthy out-of-state visitors, many of whom own vacation homes in the area, and is quite beautiful. The area has grown quite a bit over the last few decades, but remains constrained by the extraordinarily high housing prices relative to local income levels, especially for people in working in the service industry. Perhaps someone on a doctor's salary could make it work, though.
I wonder why the areas surrounding the rockys have had such a different financial experience to the areas around the Appalachias… would love to hear your thoughts on why the Appalachia mountain areas have suffered the way they have :/
There is nothing wrong with coal mining, but Democrats hate it. They want West Virginia to be totally unemployed. (They don't mind that China is the most polluted nation on Earth, though.) West Virginia needs individuals to step up and build other industries without Government aid.
@@titaniummaster1532 They've only hand their hands tied into having some wind power strictly for the energy companies tax benefits and the cost for the pathetic return in energy production is not worth it. In fact Wyoming is being abused by having their energy bills increasing to offset the failure of green policies in Colorado. Rocky Mt. Power thinks it can spread the financial burden on Wyomingites because of voters and politicians in other states. Pretty messed up. By the way, good luck having food delivered to any city without oil and have fun trying to make steel without coal.
The nuclear warheads in the state might have something to do with the federal disinvestment. Also I 99% of this countries the sodium bicarbonate is mined in Wyoming.
They are some of the friendliest people. It's more about moving there. If you left a place to come live in Wyoming then assimilate. You left that place for a reason, don't bring it with you.
When I was a traveling salesman I was all over the state for several years. The people in Wyoming were always polite and friendly to me. If you come in with an attitude that they are backwards and you are more enlightened and try to force your cultural norms onto them then you will run into trouble, but, for almost all normal human interactions (buying, selling, etc) the state was great.
I get it 100% Alberta (where I am) is the most conservative place in Canada much the same way Wyoming is and for the same reasons... Most people born here have a frontier, trust no one mentality. "Everyone is trying to take your _____ land/gold/cattle/truck/weed, etc" which is actually pretty true. It's a land of opportunity and sadly opportunists so we don't tend to trust people who breeze into town and declare a holiday... Or try to sell you a monorail, like Simpson's Lyle Langley... or in Alberta's current 2024 case a Hyperloop type project... Plus the population in the rural parts are very old median wise with most youth leaving for somewhere else and never returning, myself included. Did the same thing in 2005 and never looked back. In Alberta's case? Most youth settle down in Edmonton or Calgary or move out of province almost entirely to Vancouver which is like jumping from Austin or Dallas to LA culturally speaking... Having said all that if progressives really wanted to flip Wyoming back to a Democratic state it wouldn't take that many digital nomads settling in places like Cody, Cheyenne or Casper to flip it... I did the math... 100K or so would flip the state from solid R Red to at least purple... Another Colorado, Arizona or Nevada! ;-)
When you put information up on the screen to read you don't leave it long enough for the average person to read and you speak faster are you from New England especially North like Maine cuz they talk really fast up that way
Do you have video about the Mid-Atlantic particularly Maryland Delaware? What about Northern New England particularly Maine Maine is the safest state in the United States in Madison Wisconsin you know state of Wisconsin Madison being the capitol and I don't see a video about Ohio I currently live in Ohio
Kind of like Boulder, CO, except there if you are not white, liberal, and non-Christian then you will be miserable. Or Chicago - if you are not black, liberal, and love gang culture then you will be miserable (or dead).
Not really. There's a small Air Force base in Cheyenne, the rest of the state you'll be hard pressed to find many federal gov't workers. Denver alone probably has a lot more federal gov't workers than Wyoming.
I doubt it’s true tbh because WyDot is the biggest government entity and they employ around 2000 people. The Walmart DC in Cheyenne employs 700 people alone, add in all the stores and I’m sure Walmart is the biggest employer in the state.

See that's how many people look at it. Many of us really appreciate the wide open spaces, beautiful nature, and clean air of Wyoming to a great extent though.
"Boredom" is a sin, because it shows that you're not trying to accomplish anything. I am never "bored." Tired, yes; but never bored. I'd love to live in Wyoming! The peace and quiet and cleanliness would do it for me! I'd stay home and write. When I'm too tired to write, I'll just look at the pure sky full of stars or check out the geology. To me, any place that has a million people is "boring."
@@davidlafleche1142 Wyoming is actually boring I drove through Wyoming once it's boring Zzzzzzzzzzzzz boring I didn't see a bear or even a bison it's boring...I couldn't find a dairy queen for 2 hours it took 2 hours to find a dairy queen and they were out of my 2 favorite toppings peanut butter and caramel I was forced to get a strawberry fudge sundae...

There is nothing wrong with coal mining, but Democrats hate it. They want West Virginia to be totally unemployed. (They don't mind that China is the most polluted nation on Earth, though.) West Virginia needs individuals to step up and build other industries without Government aid.
And now wind power, people in WY are hard working and conscientious and very industrious.
@@titaniummaster1532 They've only hand their hands tied into having some wind power strictly for the energy companies tax benefits and the cost for the pathetic return in energy production is not worth it. In fact Wyoming is being abused by having their energy bills increasing to offset the failure of green policies in Colorado. Rocky Mt. Power thinks it can spread the financial burden on Wyomingites because of voters and politicians in other states. Pretty messed up.
By the way, good luck having food delivered to any city without oil and have fun trying to make steel without coal.
The nuclear warheads in the state might have something to do with the federal disinvestment. Also I 99% of this countries the sodium bicarbonate is mined in Wyoming.
Don't California my Wyoming
I've heard that people from Wyoming are really nasty to outsiders. I get it. We do not like non natives where I live, but we're not nasty to them.
They are some of the friendliest people. It's more about moving there. If you left a place to come live in Wyoming then assimilate. You left that place for a reason, don't bring it with you.

When I was a traveling salesman I was all over the state for several years. The people in Wyoming were always polite and friendly to me. If you come in with an attitude that they are backwards and you are more enlightened and try to force your cultural norms onto them then you will run into trouble, but, for almost all normal human interactions (buying, selling, etc) the state was great.
I get it 100% Alberta (where I am) is the most conservative place in Canada much the same way Wyoming is and for the same reasons... Most people born here have a frontier, trust no one mentality. "Everyone is trying to take your _____ land/gold/cattle/truck/weed, etc" which is actually pretty true. It's a land of opportunity and sadly opportunists so we don't tend to trust people who breeze into town and declare a holiday... Or try to sell you a monorail, like Simpson's Lyle Langley... or in Alberta's current 2024 case a Hyperloop type project...
Plus the population in the rural parts are very old median wise with most youth leaving for somewhere else and never returning, myself included. Did the same thing in 2005 and never looked back. In Alberta's case? Most youth settle down in Edmonton or Calgary or move out of province almost entirely to Vancouver which is like jumping from Austin or Dallas to LA culturally speaking...
Having said all that if progressives really wanted to flip Wyoming back to a Democratic state it wouldn't take that many digital nomads settling in places like Cody, Cheyenne or Casper to flip it... I did the math... 100K or so would flip the state from solid R Red to at least purple... Another Colorado, Arizona or Nevada! ;-)
Hello from Gillette, WY.
When you put information up on the screen to read you don't leave it long enough for the average person to read and you speak faster are you from New England especially North like Maine cuz they talk really fast up that way
gas, not gasoline.
Hope it doesn’t change.
Do you have video about the Mid-Atlantic particularly Maryland Delaware? What about Northern New England particularly Maine Maine is the safest state in the United States in Madison Wisconsin you know state of Wisconsin Madison being the capitol and I don't see a video about Ohio I currently live in Ohio
Trust me, they’ll find it eventually
It means that it will 100 the work cuz less people destroy
No gay pride parades or blm. Dick Cheney does live there though, so there is that negative.
And don't less people mean less c02 (if you follow that narrative)
He won't be around much longer, thank goodness!
At least his daughter stood up and did the right thing, even though she paid the political price.
@@edwardpate6128 She simply showed her true colors and got what she deserved.
Wyoming has the highest suicide rate in the country and highest divorce %
I'm from kemmerer Wyoming and it's pronounced kemmer
I grew up there. If you're white, christian, and conservative you'll love it. If not, it's kinda miserable.
Kind of like Boulder, CO, except there if you are not white, liberal, and non-Christian then you will be miserable. Or Chicago - if you are not black, liberal, and love gang culture then you will be miserable (or dead).

A conservative state where most of its residents work government jobs
"Government jobs" is self-contradictory. Bureaucrats never "work."
How you equate working a government job to being a mindless liberal is astonishing.
Not really. There's a small Air Force base in Cheyenne, the rest of the state you'll be hard pressed to find many federal gov't workers. Denver alone probably has a lot more federal gov't workers than Wyoming.
I doubt it’s true tbh because WyDot is the biggest government entity and they employ around 2000 people. The Walmart DC in Cheyenne employs 700 people alone, add in all the stores and I’m sure Walmart is the biggest employer in the state.
Wyoming is beautiful but unfortunately it is filled with about the worst people you could ever meet.
I guess if you are lecturing them on your "superior morality" and "superior culture" they will react quite appropriately.
Seems like a lovely place for my grouchy ass to live. But I live in Texas, which is also not off the fkg rails. Yes, I’m a gay guy.

# TIME HAS RUN OUT !! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Don't ignore this message... REPENT NOW !! TRUST that God raised Him from the dead !! By FAITH accept JESUS's blood alone as payment for your sins unto Salvation, to escape what's about to happen !!
I suggest you look up "Hell's Best Kept Secret" and "True and False Conversion" by Ray Comfort.
Yawn, what a boring state.
See that's how many people look at it. Many of us really appreciate the wide open spaces, beautiful nature, and clean air of Wyoming to a great extent though.
Good! Keep your ass where you are..
Totally boring Zzzzzzz Montana is better
"Boredom" is a sin, because it shows that you're not trying to accomplish anything. I am never "bored." Tired, yes; but never bored. I'd love to live in Wyoming! The peace and quiet and cleanliness would do it for me! I'd stay home and write. When I'm too tired to write, I'll just look at the pure sky full of stars or check out the geology. To me, any place that has a million people is "boring."
@@davidlafleche1142 Wyoming is actually boring I drove through Wyoming once it's boring Zzzzzzzzzzzzz boring I didn't see a bear or even a bison it's boring...I couldn't find a dairy queen for 2 hours it took 2 hours to find a dairy queen and they were out of my 2 favorite toppings peanut butter and caramel I was forced to get a strawberry fudge sundae... Wyoming is better than new mexico Arkansas and west Virginia giving it a ranking of 47th best states in the USA .. Arkansas is dead last west Virginia and new mexico are virtually tied
These are the best fuckin videos
