Wyoming sounds like a great place! We were recently in the Black Hills and came over and saw Devils Tower! Wow what an experience! My wife and I loved it! I would add a #11 for your sake, don't bring the problems you are fleeing with you!
That seems to be an issue in many states. I lived in Florida (not from there originally) and the northerners like to say "well we did it this way in .." "well, if you liked it so much, why did you leave?" I have lived in Michigan, Texas, Florida and now East Tennessee. Like the old saying goes... When in Rome... Do as the Romans do.
@@313girl5the thing about Wyoming, it's so ironic, a huge amount of residents are from somewhere else. Transient state, most came for jobs and leave as soon as employment is over. The reason the came for jobs, is the resident left.
Great Wyoming humor! My dad was a real cowboy from Wyoming. When he met my mom, who was a nurse in Cody and Canadian, his earthly possessions were a car, saddle and two guns. I was born in Laramie, 1957, and we lived there until I was five and then moved to Oregon. My dad always complained how unfriendly people were in Oregon. I think it was because people are so much more friendly in Wyoming - I am toying with the idea of retiring there. The last time I was in Laramie, August 2012, the air was pristine!!!
@@toddgittins5692 You are absolutely right about the weather. I'm not retiring there. I'm probably staying put in Oregon. It hardly ever snows in the southern Willamette Valley. I can hike all year round here.
I love your description about Wyoming as it almost makes me feel like home here in Alberta. The wildlife, the pick-up trucks and the weather. But I think over the years we have lost the neighbour factor from our lives. The one and important thing that places should fight for to keep so I understand your vlog today and how important it is to you. Keep your fight up, its worth it.
I want to live in Wyoming so bad... but bears, winter & lack of convince has me saying no. I've driven through all of lower of Wyoming and it is so beautiful. I think I'll just visit from time to time. And I'm do for a visit! Also I love this video. So good.
I've been to Wyoming and I loved it BUT I'm a Southerner so I know my place. I'd love visit again but I promise I'll behave. I love your 10 reasons because I could adapt them for living where I do except we have SUMMER that encroaches into spring and fall. Our winters are a joke compared to yours. Thanks again for the heads up.
@@wyomingadventures I don't know about you but I find it hilariously satisfying watching a dip shit chased down by a buffalo and flung into the air, in fact I nearly wet my self last time I saw it happen.
🤣🤣🤣 Im liberal but this is fucking hilarious! I grew up in colorado, and so many people from Cali or NY would go camping in the Rockies and think that its reasonable to approach the wildlife. I would read about people being seriously injured by animals all the time, and I would always think, "The deer do not want a fucking hug 🙄, it will kick your face in."
I’m your neighbor over here in SW South Dakota Sandi - you forgot the frign insane hail, grasshoppers that eat what the hail left you, late spring frosts that kill the berry blossoms, early fall frosts that kill the best of the garden, the naked feeling of digging a fence post hole in the sea of prairie with nothing but the moan of wind in the grass to let you know you are not totally alone- an amazing feeling. I finally sold my house because - same reason as your vid- SD is having a real estate boom right now. Every client that looked at my place was from Colorado or California. Love to you - from a gal in sw sd
I have lived in Wyoming for 41 years. That's almost my whole life. If you want to live in Wyoming you better have a job here before you move. Much of what you said is true but there's more than that. I have witnessed people moving here and a couple years later moving back to where they came from. A lot of it is they sell their homes and buy a house here only to not have a job that will make a living. Most Wyoming property isn't cheap anymore. Wyoming is a big conservative state. Move here and try changing our ways doesn't work. We think nothing about traveling long distance to shop. Wyomingnite love being the least populated state. If you're not into the outdoors you won't have much entertainment. Because of current politics the job situation won't get better either. Wyoming is now hurting financially. Workers rights are practically none existing here. Wyoming has always been that way. We have lots of natural resources but everyone now wants to go green. This is all facts that anyone can research themselves. I'm your neighbor to the west of you. Buffalo. Great location but not easy make a living here. We're just about as expensive as Jackson. Great advice and video!
I am a disabled veteran Federal retiree currently suffering under the incredible heat of the Great Sonoran Desert in Southwest Arizona. Wyoming is one of the top places on my list to retire. Your list was humorous, but also listed great reasons for me to move there. I am a native Minnesotan, so winter is not a problem. As an animal lover and former K-9 handler, I would love to be out "in the boonies" as we say here, and the wide open prairie and mountains. Your podcast is fantastic, and I thank you for that. I would love to consider Wyoming as my next home. Thank you.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az It happened to Montana, they ruined many of the places in Montana changed the laws, jacked the prices up, increased the crime rate and people are not as friendly or don't look out for each other anymore
Having been born and raised in Wyoming, I miss it horribly. But, reality is, it's too expensive to go back. I visit as often as possible, my heart is still there❤️
It’s all a matter of perspective. Property prices in Wyoming are a steal compared to here on the Washington coast. But you won’t get me to move there, I got tired of shoveling and scraping snow.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az I Was born and raised west of Portland, OR. You think your prices are bad, check us out... Californians have been flooding our state my whole life but it had gone INSANE recently. My wife and I are seriously considering moving to WY, MT, or SD. How do you all feel about taking us Oregon refugees?
@@DB-wb7jd Our daughter lives in Portland and it is to expensive for her and husband to purchase a house. I love Oregon, so beautiful. WY, Mt, and SD are great choices.
We just moved to Wyoming from the East Coast last may 😅🤣 we LOVE it so far! The east coast has a way colder winter. Wyoming snow is dusty and leight, but the east coast has heavy and dense snow. There’s no humidity here. My father in law owns a cabin in Shoshone national forest! We love it!! We ALSO love the Gun culture!! And our Constitution!
Pittsburgh, PA to has very wet snow, also making it very heavy to shovel, the wet cold air go's through your skin wright to the bone that's cold, dry cold or fluffy dry snow wow that's nothing, you can use a leaf blower on that
Home is where the heart is! Changing your location, doesn’t change you, your baggage travels with you. Wyoming is a 4-season state. To get along here, you gotta get along! Wyoming is a safe state. Everyone carry’s a tool called a pistol, or rifle! We do not need a permit to do so loaded or unloaded, concealed, or in plain site! Our lives and those of our friends and loved ones come FIRST! We don’t have mass murdering, or killing spree’s here In Wyoming it is best to keep your opinion’s to yourself, unless you have done it, or experienced what you want to elaborate on, hearsay doesn’t cut it here! We respect our woman, children, and friends. We help each other, and watch each other’s back. Wyoming is the way America use to be. If that pleases you, then welcome, if you want to lie, cheat, steel, kill, act a FOOL, and live off the backs of hard working Patriots who love this country, stay where you are! We protect our own and each other! It would be best to get to know the Cow Boy Code before you venture here!!
Having been born and raised in the corrupt, Communist state of Illinois, Wyoming sounds like Heaven to me. And from what I've seen of it in all the Westerns I've watched, it looks like it as well. Everyone raves about Colorado, but who likes rocks that much? If I were younger, could handle your winters, and my husband didn't love to farm here, Wyoming would be at the top of my move-to list. ❤️
I was born and raised here in Wyoming. There’s things I love about it and things I hate. One of those things is the common mistreatment towards people with autism, whether it’s subtle or not-so-subtle. I was bullied at my last 3 jobs and all through my entire life as a kid and teenager because of it. Coming from a poor family that’s in no way associated with the coal mines, rich ranchers and business owners sure didn’t help the situation either. Also, we are among the top 10 states with the most amount of sex offenders per capita. For so many people that claim to be “friendly Christians” in this state, I sure feel like it’s the complete opposite.
Wyoming is beautiful! We have buffalo here in Oklahoma on our prairies. I have no doubt I could be a good neighbor and I love Nature and beauty but your state is to cold for me. A lot of people here (including myself) can hardly deal with the heat and humidity of our summers. I think so many are wanting to escape the cities and find land again for survival. I have noticed all of the acreage around here is getting bought up too! I live on 10 acres in the country with not one neighbor on my mile road. That could be changing if the big land owners around me start selling. At any rate, fortunately we both have Republican Governors and I feel I am very blessed after seeing what is happening in the Dem run states.
Sheila, If OK was not so far from my grandchildren, and the fact that I would miss the winters, I would live there. We have so much family there and it is beautiful.
I’m in Duncan, Oklahoma born and raised. I’m a proud Okie and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I don’t have acreage but have three separate pastures behind my backyard. We live a little over a mile inside the city limits. I’m making our little area our quaint homestead with a decent garden and chickens.
Sheila Ashley, who is your Aunt? I use to work in the pharmacy field 37 years in 3 different stores, I may know her. Wouldn’t that be ironic? What part of Oklahoma are you in?
This is fantastic, and funny and so "real". Vancouver is all about nature, outdoors, good coffee, and organic food. More coffee shops here than anywhere else in Canada. Oh and the rain, lots of rain.
I have lived in Arizona for 55-years now & I agree far to many out-of-staters have moved here and have brought several poor attitudes along with. We don't need it or want it. Lousy drivers.
Wyoming has its very own wonderful charm and that is the truth. So many beautiful landscapes. I didn’t know about all the other things. Except of course those WILD STRING WINDS which also have their charm. Thanks
That was a very nice presentation. I loved it. I’m not moving to Wyoming. I like the 4 seasons here in the East. I do want to say the animals are beautiful though. Have a great day. 😍
Truth be told, another reason to not move to Wyoming, the economy. All of the good paying jobs are reserved for the locals. It’s all about who you know, who your mom and dad know, and who your grandparents and great grandparents knew. In general there are not a lot of employment opportunities for locals let alone outsiders. Many of the locals live below the poverty level. If you are considering moving to Wyoming, only do so if you are financially secure and do not need employment.
I can't agree with that. We came without knowing anyone, and so many others we know came from out of state. It has been wonderful living in Wyoming for the last 16 years.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az It’s probably different based on the region of Wyoming. I can assure anyone who is thinking about Lincoln County, (the southwestern part of Wyoming) that is the case. Our family was one of the original families to settle this region of Wyoming and the locals around here will make an outsider as miserable as is possible & employment impossible. We have friends that tried to relocating to Maine and ran into the same thing there. I don’t agree with it, but it’s a harsh reality for anyone trying to move to this part of Wyoming. By the way Sandi, I always love and look forward to your videos. 💝💞
We were there in August 2020. NO job opps. The one WY State job I was qualified for was "removed" for lack of applicants. Same job was "reposted" October 2020, 7 weeks later. They did not want to hire me. They "found" someone much younger and a female.
#11. If you are afraid of an active volcano called Yellowstone that could blow you from Wyoming to Florida when she blows, don't move to Wyoming, LOL. Great video. You nailed it.
You are awesome and I love your video, thanks for sharing! I'm in Missouri and considering moving my little family (Hubs and three sons) to Wyoming. Wyoming is absolutely magical!
Excellent advice. I appreciated you being forthright, honest, and sharing some clarity has a Wyomingite..it was refreshing. I am looking forward to visiting Wyoming and speaking with a realtor.
All the reasons you mentioned not to live in Wyoming are reasons to go live there. I love thunderstorms. I love the snow. I don’t mind a change in seasons. And yes, being neighborly is an expectation. What would be concerning is the lack of job opportunities and decent medical care.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az Good to know! Wyoming is top of the list of places to move. I love the culture of independence in the west. And I love nature, which Wyoming has aplenty!
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az been there and done that.... lake effect snow off lake Erie piles up! Miss the sledding/skiing but not dealing with it for 4 months
Im in northern BC and people from Vancouver are moving up here in droves and bringing their weirdo ideas with them!! I hear ya sister when you say these things. Ive been saying the same stuff about my area. Fit in or dont move here. Tree huggers moving to a logging based town is a bit much, granola bars and moose meat dont belong on the same plate!! I got in an argument with one of them feeding our wild foxes so they could get some pictures and their response? " There isnt a sign saying we cant feed them".....needless to say I lost it. Its very frustrating when people move to your area and try to change your lifestyle, why did they move if they love their ways so much? Sorry for venting but thankyou for the great video:)
I hear you. I say if you love a place why would you not strive to keep it, stay where you are if you think you know better and you'll change that beautiful place.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az Ta:) we drive trucks here too and theyve pushed and pushed until they got bicycle lanes and right of ways....we get like 5ft of snow here! Go figure. Lol...thankyou for expressing what many of us are feeling. God bless you and yours💗
My dream is Wyoming I am almost 74 and I still plan on getting there! Wide open spaces, clear skies, and I love a good thunderstorm! It will be me, my Hubby and my Sister!
Hey Sandi joe I know I live in the woods in the country and people are buying land and homes around here fleeing the Big Apple coming upstate I like how it is.. well Take Care Sandi..❤️🙏☮️👍🇺🇸
Very Nice Video! Really makes me think of what it was like growing up in Northern Arizona and Southern Nevada in the 1950s and 1960s and was Ok up to about the 80s when I would return. Really like #3 being a pro 2A and constitution originalist -why change what is not broken? Your talk about neighbors is so true that in areas where it is remote and sparse you help each other even if you don't really agree with someone you help them when they need it It does sadden me to hear that people are moving there not to become Wyoming residents, but just to escape the world they already changed. When I moved back to Nevada I did not anticipate 3 years later beginning to realize I was almost in CA again. And unfortunately, Idaho is already being overrun and pricing many of us out especially as retirees. The snow and winter does concern me if we relocated now in our later years. However, the beauty and quiet even with the wind must be fine! As far as cowboy goes, rodeos and lever actions are part of the west and my life for sure. One thing I appreciate even in Nevada was driving out into the desert again and being able to see the Milky Way and all those stars. Thanks again and hope your 1 year residency requirements and strong weather keeps your state just as it is. Have a blessed New Year!
Our family moved to Saratoga in the early 1960s. Great place to be a kid at the time. Dad got a job with a firm based in Tulsa,OK in 1966 that was putting in a natural gas storage cavern south of the Sinclair refinery, and in 1967 we moved to Iowa. For a cpuple of winters in Saratoga he was a hunting guide, and not a bad hunter either- in the winter, if we wanted meat it was antelope, mule deer or elk. Summer Sundays were for fishing for brook trout in the Snowy Range, or out on the lake east of town.
Hahaha I mean it’s not a ton different than Central Oregon except for the amount of snow! Haha you get much more. Actually a lot of these cracked me up. My sense of humor is silly.
I would love it in Wyoming, my wife.....not so sure. I grew up around farms and farm animals, the hard work doesn't bother me. The snow, rain, heat, storms, even the whole truck thing, lol. Sounds good to me.
I did a bus rescue to Gillette 2 years ago stayed for 2 days there then ran the repaired bus back to Ohio wanted to just stay instead of returning to home base
Most of those things used to be true about our country, but sadly not everywhere now. Many of those are still true here in the South- for the most part. Great job and amen! Made me want to live there..... except for the snow 😁. But i would love to visit!!!
Lady GOOD JOB---LOL I live in Georgia but was raised at Kortes Wyoming. I can tell you, you never get Wyoming out of your blood. I wish I was there for that cup of coffee.
Hello Sandi, Wyoming is a beautiful place. I would love to buy some land out there and live there.... but... I am not ready to be a cowboy. LOL! Take Care and Stay Warm.
Ty for video. I love your sense of humor. I've lived in Ca all my life except for the 1 year I was in LaGrange for bible school. Married now with two boys I want to come back and leave this state for good. PS, I did know about the Jackalope :)
Sandy I love how you tell it like it is. You go girl and preserve you Wyoming State. I wish when I was like 16 I could have done that in my home town of Visalia, California. We have all these city slickers that have moved here from LA and the Bay area and all they do is complain and want to change things. I say go back to where you came from this is my town and my parents, and my grandparents, and my great grandparents town. We were all here first, farming crops and fruit trees, and having cattle, and Dairies. I feel like you do about your State about my town. My brother and his wife hated it so bad they moved to Idaho and they couldn't be happier. I am very happy for them.
helllo oh wow you have just made my day. I love everything you have talked about Wyoming love to be out in the open and no one around lol lol the storms are wonderful and we love the snow. yep will need a truck in the cold winters, yep people are shown on kids shows about how they can talk to animals but not taught about how wild animals are really are. I have always wanted land to live on and have a farm, maybe one day because there is still alot time to do what God wants us to do. Thank you for sharing, God bless stay safe and have a wonderful day
August 25, 2019 we spent the night in our RV in Gillette, Wy. OMG talk about a storm! Lightning, rain and WIND! We thought for sure the RV was going to blow over! Unfortunately we were parked where the wind hit us broadside. It was about 30-40 mins of terror! The next morning the street signs were bent over. A keep was lying on its side. So yes, storms can be fierce. However the beauty of Wyoming shows you just how wonderful God is. My relatives are mostly in Montana and have the same 10 points as you Sandi and for the same reasons. Now why are you putting pressure on those cute little Jackalopes? 😜
I grew up on Lake Michigan and I remember every winter which would start labor day and sometimes through Easter, snow plows we go through and for so much snow you barely even saw the tops of the telephone poles. I didn't even know what a snow day was and we walk to school. Talk about wind! The wind was unbelievable coming off the lake. I guess we should rule out you working for the Chamber of Commerce right LOL
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az Mhm, houses are getting a wee bit expensive, but rent is still relatively fair, at least in the complex I'm in(the garage apartment I've lived in for a year has been nice). As I've lived here for a while now, I have had less of a incentive to buy a house even amidst the pandemic, at least at a premium atm, due to recognizing that stability comes from within(and learning how to build equity within yourself), and you don't need gold or silver to enter into the forests and mountains of the great outdoors and wilderness. I hope some of the wealthy individuals as well as others from out of state will eventually recognize that and see the true meaning of the state, at least for me. If you are able to experience the wind, wilderness, mountains, and forests, I don't feel like I will have any regrets if I ever choose to move elsewhere since I will have enjoyed the state despite not getting a pricey house
I'm from Minnesota and moved to California but Wyoming is the state for me. It's God's country. The skies against the prairie with sheep grazing is like no other awe inspiring beauty. Laramie was my favorite stop off the highway. And you're right. The exits are far and few along the 80. The energy and power of Wyoming earth is sacred. On another note, nice hair Sandi! Looks like it's fresh fly cut and colored.

Great no-nonsense points here about rural Wyoming, thanks. You've got a lovely storytelling way about it too. Bless.
Home is where the heart is! Changing your location, doesn’t change you, your baggage travels with you. Wyoming is a 4-season state. To get along here, you gotta get along! Wyoming is a safe state. Everyone carry’s a tool called a pistol, or rifle! We do not need a permit to do so loaded or unloaded, concealed, or in plain site! Our lives and those of our friends and loved ones come FIRST! We don’t have mass murdering, or killing spree’s here In Wyoming it is best to keep your opinion’s to yourself, unless you have done it, or experienced what you want to elaborate on, hearsay doesn’t cut it here! We respect our woman, children, and friends. We help each other, and watch each other’s back. Wyoming is the way America use to be. If that pleases you, then welcome, if you want to lie, cheat, steel, kill, act a FOOL, and live off the backs of hard working Patriots who love this country, stay where you are! We protect our own and each other! It would be best to get to know the Cow Boy Code before you venture here!!
Agree.
Amen.
Having been born and raised in the corrupt, Communist state of Illinois, Wyoming sounds like Heaven to me. And from what I've seen of it in all the Westerns I've watched, it looks like it as well. Everyone raves about Colorado, but who likes rocks that much? If I were younger, could handle your winters, and my husband didn't love to farm here, Wyoming would be at the top of my move-to list. ❤️
Very sharp no-nonsense points here about rural Wyoming, thanks. You've got a lovely storytelling way about it too. Bless.
Thank you so much.
I was born and raised here in Wyoming. There’s things I love about it and things I hate. One of those things is the common mistreatment towards people with autism, whether it’s subtle or not-so-subtle. I was bullied at my last 3 jobs and all through my entire life as a kid and teenager because of it. Coming from a poor family that’s in no way associated with the coal mines, rich ranchers and business owners sure didn’t help the situation either. Also, we are among the top 10 states with the most amount of sex offenders per capita. For so many people that claim to be “friendly Christians” in this state, I sure feel like it’s the complete opposite.
Love you Sandi for telling it like it is I have sum of the same values thank you for telling us about wyoming
Thank you Todd.
That's right! Be a good neighbor! Why, I think I'm a Wyomingan!
Wyoming at heart!!!
Wyoming is beautiful! We have buffalo here in Oklahoma on our prairies. I have no doubt I could be a good neighbor and I love Nature and beauty but your state is to cold for me. A lot of people here (including myself) can hardly deal with the heat and humidity of our summers. I think so many are wanting to escape the cities and find land again for survival. I have noticed all of the acreage around here is getting bought up too! I live on 10 acres in the country with not one neighbor on my mile road. That could be changing if the big land owners around me start selling. At any rate, fortunately we both have Republican Governors and I feel I am very blessed after seeing what is happening in the Dem run states.
Sheila, If OK was not so far from my grandchildren, and the fact that I would miss the winters, I would live there. We have so much family there and it is beautiful.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az glad you have family here and I certainly understand wanting to live by your loved ones.
I’m in Duncan, Oklahoma born and raised. I’m a proud Okie and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I don’t have acreage but have three separate pastures behind my backyard. We live a little over a mile inside the city limits. I’m making our little area our quaint homestead with a decent garden and chickens.
@@Angela152half hello Angela, my Aunt lives in Duncan. Nice town.
Sheila Ashley, who is your Aunt? I use to work in the pharmacy field 37 years in 3 different stores, I may know her. Wouldn’t that be ironic? What part of Oklahoma are you in?
I loved this. Moving in 2 days 🫡
This is fantastic, and funny and so "real". Vancouver is all about nature, outdoors, good coffee, and organic food. More coffee shops here than anywhere else in Canada. Oh and the rain, lots of rain.
Hi Shawnee. Thank you, I wanted the message to ring forth with a layer of fun.
I have lived in Arizona for 55-years now & I agree far to many out-of-staters have moved here and have brought several poor attitudes along with. We don't need it or want it. Lousy drivers.
I am going to spend the winter in Yuma but I promise not to change AZ which I love.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az i thought you loved those 8 month long winters
@@markalvarez6939 Actually I do but my 91 year old Dad goes to AZ for the winter and I need to be with Mom and Dad right now.
Wyoming has its very own wonderful charm and that is the truth. So many beautiful landscapes. I didn’t know about all the other things. Except of course those WILD STRING WINDS which also have their charm. Thanks
Barb, I love Wyoming!!
Amazing video. I gave it a like
Thanks for the visit
This has completely sold me on moving to Wyoming 🤩
That was a very nice presentation. I loved it. I’m not moving to Wyoming. I like the 4 seasons here in the East. I do want to say the animals are beautiful though. Have a great day. 😍
They are so magnificent but they are not friendly!
Believe me I would look from afar.
You GO Girl!!!! I love your honesty & boldness! God bless you!
Truth be told, another reason to not move to Wyoming, the economy.
All of the good paying jobs are reserved for the locals. It’s all about who you know, who your mom and dad know, and who your grandparents and great grandparents knew.
In general there are not a lot of employment opportunities for locals let alone outsiders. Many of the locals live below the poverty level. If you are considering moving to Wyoming, only do so if you are financially secure and do not need employment.
I can't agree with that. We came without knowing anyone, and so many others we know came from out of state. It has been wonderful living in Wyoming for the last 16 years.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az It’s probably different based on the region of Wyoming. I can assure anyone who is thinking about Lincoln County, (the southwestern part of Wyoming) that is the case. Our family was one of the original families to settle this region of Wyoming and the locals around here will make an outsider as miserable as is possible & employment impossible. We have friends that tried to relocating to Maine and ran into the same thing there. I don’t agree with it, but it’s a harsh reality for anyone trying to move to this part of Wyoming. By the way Sandi, I always love and look forward to your videos. 💝💞
@@michellejoy3678 I have never encountered that in Wyoming, interesting. Thank you for your kind words.
We were there in August 2020. NO job opps. The one WY State job I was qualified for was "removed" for lack of applicants.
Same job was "reposted" October 2020, 7 weeks later. They did not want to hire me. They "found" someone much younger and a female.
@@michellejoy3678 i totally agree you.
My friend moved to Wyoming because of taxes,,,as a senior,it was great and she loves square dancing
Hi Adelaide. There are some great benefits for all in Wyoming.
#11. If you are afraid of an active volcano called Yellowstone that could blow you from Wyoming to Florida when she blows, don't move to Wyoming, LOL. Great video. You nailed it.
Awesome, thank you.
I was stationed in Wyoming 1976 through 1980 now living in Florida could come the other way still have friends in Cheyenne
You are awesome and I love your video, thanks for sharing! I'm in Missouri and considering moving my little family (Hubs and three sons) to Wyoming. Wyoming is absolutely magical!
Also, I thrive in the cold weather and absolutely hate summer lol! When the weather hits 30 degrees i'm happy
Erika, Wyoming is a great place to live.
Excellent reality points!
I think sometime people see photos or they visit in the summer but there is a difference.
This sounds like the perfect place for me! Thank you so much for all the great information.
Stacey, it is a wonderful place to live.
Excellent advice. I appreciated you being forthright, honest, and sharing some clarity has a Wyomingite..it was refreshing. I am looking forward to visiting Wyoming and speaking with a realtor.
Wow John, Wyoming can be a wonderful place to live.
I love everything that you're saying unless the hot temperatures, it seems a very beautiful state ❤️
I really want to move to Wyoming. It has been on my heart for over a year. You guys sound like good people. God Bless.
Danielle, it is a great place to live.
All the reasons you mentioned not to live in Wyoming are reasons to go live there. I love thunderstorms. I love the snow. I don’t mind a change in seasons. And yes, being neighborly is an expectation.
What would be concerning is the lack of job opportunities and decent medical care.
There are a lot of really great doctors and health care. Jobs could be an issue depending on your field.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az Good to know! Wyoming is top of the list of places to move. I love the culture of independence in the west. And I love nature, which Wyoming has aplenty!
You are always so real love your vids.... you can keep that winter 😆
Oh Kevin, don't you want to see 3 ft of snow.....lol
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az been there and done that.... lake effect snow off lake Erie piles up! Miss the sledding/skiing but not dealing with it for 4 months
Love all of your pros and cons. Sounds like it would be our place to live. Great vid, Sandi
Hi you two. It a great place.
I lived in Laramie. Old Wyoming saying, "we have two seasons, winter and July."
LOL so awesome Bill.
Grew up in Wyo and live in Spearfish now. This whole video could apply equally to Western South Dakota. Great summary :)
Don't come here for your own safety. Please let us miserable people live here and suffer on our own. 👍
Im in northern BC and people from Vancouver are moving up here in droves and bringing their weirdo ideas with them!! I hear ya sister when you say these things. Ive been saying the same stuff about my area. Fit in or dont move here. Tree huggers moving to a logging based town is a bit much, granola bars and moose meat dont belong on the same plate!! I got in an argument with one of them feeding our wild foxes so they could get some pictures and their response? " There isnt a sign saying we cant feed them".....needless to say I lost it. Its very frustrating when people move to your area and try to change your lifestyle, why did they move if they love their ways so much? Sorry for venting but thankyou for the great video:)
I hear you. I say if you love a place why would you not strive to keep it, stay where you are if you think you know better and you'll change that beautiful place.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az Ta:) we drive trucks here too and theyve pushed and pushed until they got bicycle lanes and right of ways....we get like 5ft of snow here! Go figure. Lol...thankyou for expressing what many of us are feeling. God bless you and yours💗
My dream is Wyoming I am almost 74 and I still plan on getting there! Wide open spaces, clear skies, and I love a good thunderstorm! It will be me, my Hubby and my Sister!
Wyoming is a beautiful state
Most of Wyoming is considered desert. It rains every once in a while and is like a typhoon.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az I made it!!! I love it here.
Extremely useful & educational video. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you.
I love Wyoming. I moved to Az from Cheyenne. Wyoming is one of my favorite places.
Thank you WY is beautiful.
Cute video! Love #10! Lol!
Thank you
Sounds like a wonderful place. We may visit some day but we won’t be moving there. We’ll stay in PA. Thanks for sharing this info Sandi.
Hi Susan, You will love Wyoming, a great vacation spot!
Love it wish I had some of these reasons in Oklahoma
Fellow Oklahoman, Bristow here.
@@SRAshley100 Near Stillwater here , hey neighbor
OK is a beautiful State!!! We have lots of Family there.
@@tinav4755 hey Tina
Hey Sandi joe I know I live in the woods in the country and people are buying land and homes around here fleeing the Big Apple coming upstate I like how it is.. well Take Care Sandi..❤️🙏☮️👍🇺🇸
I think it is an issue in many parts of the country.
That was funny!!! Loved it!!! 😂
Thank you Anita.
Very Nice Video! Really makes me think of what it was like growing up in Northern Arizona and Southern Nevada in the 1950s and 1960s and was Ok up to about the 80s when I would return. Really like #3 being a pro 2A and constitution originalist -why change what is not broken? Your talk about neighbors is so true that in areas where it is remote and sparse you help each other even if you don't really agree with someone you help them when they need it It does sadden me to hear that people are moving there not to become Wyoming residents, but just to escape the world they already changed. When I moved back to Nevada I did not anticipate 3 years later beginning to realize I was almost in CA again. And unfortunately, Idaho is already being overrun and pricing many of us out especially as retirees. The snow and winter does concern me if we relocated now in our later years. However, the beauty and quiet even with the wind must be fine! As far as cowboy goes, rodeos and lever actions are part of the west and my life for sure. One thing I appreciate even in Nevada was driving out into the desert again and being able to see the Milky Way and all those stars. Thanks again and hope your 1 year residency requirements and strong weather keeps your state just as it is. Have a blessed New Year!
Thank you, I hope it stays Wyoming!
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az Besides the Jackalopes, you forgot to tell all new residents they have to go on a Snipe hunt. LOL. Thanks for your channel.
@@redesert_boy8202 lol, Snipe hunting.....
Our family moved to Saratoga in the early 1960s. Great place to be a kid at the time. Dad got a job with a firm based in Tulsa,OK in 1966 that was putting in a natural gas storage cavern south of the Sinclair refinery, and in 1967 we moved to Iowa. For a cpuple of winters in Saratoga he was a hunting guide, and not a bad hunter either- in the winter, if we wanted meat it was antelope, mule deer or elk. Summer Sundays were for fishing for brook trout in the Snowy Range, or out on the lake east of town.
I'm from Rhode Island unfortunately. God willing I make my way out there some day. Good video.
Wyoming is a great vacation spot also. So many things to see and do.
Okay you convinced me to stay in NY. Don’t think I am tough enough for Wyoming
Everyone has the perfect place for them.
Hahaha I mean it’s not a ton different than Central Oregon except for the amount of snow! Haha you get much more.
Actually a lot of these cracked me up. My sense of humor is silly.
We have antelope but they’re scared. The deer are worse pests. Thankfully they like the towns better.
I need it. I need to hear about the people getting flung into next week because they’re idiots. I need it. It brings me life. 🤣🤣🤣
I tried to be serious but with a twist of fun.
I love this lady. She made me drop tears full of emotions.
Awesome, thank you
I live rural and I have a great surveillance system, neighbor ranch women and their binoculars.
I would love it in Wyoming, my wife.....not so sure. I grew up around farms and farm animals, the hard work doesn't bother me. The snow, rain, heat, storms, even the whole truck thing, lol. Sounds good to me.
Hi Rob. It is a wonderful place to live.
We don't have the antelope but the deer in the yard eating everything YES! LOL
Grew up in the interior of Alaska. Can’t wait to get to Wyoming.
Awesome Christopher. I have wanted to visit Alaska for a long time.
Gotta luv those antelope! My opinion, they are really amazing.
I did a bus rescue to Gillette 2 years ago stayed for 2 days there then ran the repaired bus back to Ohio wanted to just stay instead of returning to home base
Jon, Wyoming is a great place.
You go girl💗💗💗👍😁 Truly enjoyed this👍
Thanks Mary
I lived in Rock Springs in the early 1970's. Those jackolops were as tall as my waist! Man! They were good eating.
lol so fun. Merry Christmas.
Where I live, summer is referred to as 2 weeks of bad skiing. :)
Lol sometimes it feels that way!
Most of those things used to be true about our country, but sadly not everywhere now. Many of those are still true here in the South- for the most part.
Great job and amen! Made me want to live there..... except for the snow 😁. But i would love to visit!!!
Sandra, I hope you do visit.
great video! but I do not think i am ready to leave our farm
Then that is exactly where you are suppose to be.
Lady GOOD JOB---LOL I live in Georgia but was raised at Kortes Wyoming. I can tell you, you never get Wyoming out of your blood. I wish I was there for that cup of coffee.
Danny, you are right, it never leaves you.
Hello Sandi, Wyoming is a beautiful place. I would love to buy some land out there and live there.... but... I am not ready to be a cowboy. LOL! Take Care and Stay Warm.
Hi John. We all need out place, that is were you will be happy.
Resident of Colorado. Love Wyoming. Considering WY for retirement. Thank you for the video, especially upholding the constitution of United States.
Thank you
Ty for video. I love your sense of humor. I've lived in Ca all my life except for the 1 year I was in LaGrange for bible school. Married now with two boys I want to come back and leave this state for good. PS, I did know about the Jackalope :)
That is awesome! Wyoming is a great state to live in if you understand Wyoming. I have always loved the seasons here.
Sandy I love how you tell it like it is. You go girl and preserve you Wyoming State. I wish when I was like 16 I could have done that in my home town of Visalia, California. We have all these city slickers that have moved here from LA and the Bay area and all they do is complain and want to change things. I say go back to where you came from this is my town and my parents, and my grandparents, and my great grandparents town. We were all here first, farming crops and fruit trees, and having cattle, and Dairies. I feel like you do about your State about my town. My brother and his wife hated it so bad they moved to Idaho and they couldn't be happier. I am very happy for them.
So sorry about your home town. That is hard.
Former resident of Jackson Hole. I miss it so much. Hope to move back some day.💕
Awesome. I hope you get the chance to come back.
Im moving to wyoming out in the middle of no where biggest tip i can give buy a snow plow for your truck so you can plow a path out during winter
So true.
helllo oh wow you have just made my day. I love everything you have talked about Wyoming love to be out in the open and no one around lol lol the storms are wonderful and we love the snow. yep will need a truck in the cold winters, yep people are shown on kids shows about how they can talk to animals but not taught about how wild animals are really are. I have always wanted land to live on and have a farm, maybe one day because there is still alot time to do what God wants us to do. Thank you for sharing, God bless stay safe and have a wonderful day
Thank you Nancy, its a wonderful place.

August 25, 2019 we spent the night in our RV in Gillette, Wy. OMG talk about a storm! Lightning, rain and WIND! We thought for sure the RV was going to blow over! Unfortunately we were parked where the wind hit us broadside. It was about 30-40 mins of terror! The next morning the street signs were bent over. A keep was lying on its side. So yes, storms can be fierce. However the beauty of Wyoming shows you just how wonderful God is. My relatives are mostly in Montana and have the same 10 points as you Sandi and for the same reasons.
Now why are you putting pressure on those cute little Jackalopes? 😜
Lol Madeline, the Jackalope. Those storms can be crazy!
Ghee ~ You just Made me decide to Move to Wyoming~!!!! Here I Come~!!! Let's have Coffee~!
You crack me up and speak the truth. 💜🇺🇸
Thanks Kathy, Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
Im 20 from texas and I desperately want to move here 2022 ! Its literally so beautiful and everything I want haha
It is a great state to live in.
10 reasons why Wyoming sounds like a wonderful place to live❤️❤️
What a great video.
Thanks Jan
I grew up on Lake Michigan and I remember every winter which would start labor day and sometimes through Easter, snow plows we go through and for so much snow you barely even saw the tops of the telephone poles. I didn't even know what a snow day was and we walk to school. Talk about wind! The wind was unbelievable coming off the lake. I guess we should rule out you working for the Chamber of Commerce right LOL
LOl I love Wyoming.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az
I know you do. Just teasing you. You actually made it sound like some place I would love myself
And the Jackelope for the win!!!!! Absolutely love this!!!!! I laughed out loud and now have coffee everywhere!!!! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Lol, thank you.
Thanks for sharing; greetings from North Idaho
Thank you, I love Idaho, such a beautiful state.
@@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az Mhm, houses are getting a wee bit expensive, but rent is still relatively fair, at least in the complex I'm in(the garage apartment I've lived in for a year has been nice). As I've lived here for a while now, I have had less of a incentive to buy a house even amidst the pandemic, at least at a premium atm, due to recognizing that stability comes from within(and learning how to build equity within yourself), and you don't need gold or silver to enter into the forests and mountains of the great outdoors and wilderness. I hope some of the wealthy individuals as well as others from out of state will eventually recognize that and see the true meaning of the state, at least for me. If you are able to experience the wind, wilderness, mountains, and forests, I don't feel like I will have any regrets if I ever choose to move elsewhere since I will have enjoyed the state despite not getting a pricey house
I'm from Minnesota and moved to California but Wyoming is the state for me. It's God's country. The skies against the prairie with sheep grazing is like no other awe inspiring beauty. Laramie was my favorite stop off the highway. And you're right. The exits are far and few along the 80. The energy and power of Wyoming earth is sacred. On another note, nice hair Sandi! Looks like it's fresh fly cut and colored.
Thank you. I love how the wind moves through the prairie twirling it 's message, can you hear it.
I'm subscribed to Jason's channel :)
Oh Thank you Lydia.
You're welcome :)
