I think you would be a great Republican candidate for presidency next year You have thousands of followers on RUclips and you are a great and fair person 👍 Think about it ! My family and I would vote for you for sure ❤
I had a friend who was a sushi chef downtown Manhattan. His doctor told him to leave NYC. He went on a big driving tour of the US. He told me the friendliest place in the whole country was Cheyenne, Wyoming. And that's coming from a Japanese guy that barely spoke English.
@@fewkeyfewkey5414 I loved Manhattan. People were so friendly. The Japanese girl we hired for our day excursion almost became my girlfriend but couldn't figure out a way to explain it to my wife in Oregon. The Brit tourists in the bar at the Roosevelt hotel were memorable and the Blue Note Cafe was great
Moved from Denver to Cheyenne six years ago. This video is spot on in its portrayal. I even know Dominic, so watching this is a bit surreal. Glad Nick had a good time!
I used to use to work Railroad Construction in Wyoming, and worked for an Oil Company. I left for a job Opportunity in the late 90's out of state. I still miss Wyoming and the great people I met there. It's a great state🇺🇲
Cheyenne is a good town. Clean, safe, good economy. Only downside is brutal winters. Blizzards and white outs suck. They also get tornadoes. The people are hard workers and very respectful.
I love Wyoming! I live in Montana and it's about 30 minutes to get to Wyoming from home. The people are very nice and the men call you Mam and hold the door for you.
This is what happens when you put conservatives in office. If you go to a red city most of time law and order is turned on, no graffiti, no trash & needles everywhere, no homeless zombies walking around, affordable housing, great opportunity, low taxes, a well armed society, sense of community, faith/family, great schools, low crimes rates and most importantly kindness. No dark cloud looming over the city.
The more rural parts of America are generally more conservative. Even in states that are blue, you can see from the election map, that all the blue states' Democratic votes come from the areas with high population density, and red votes come from the areas with lower population density. I think the mindset of people changes based on their surroundings. I am willing to bet that there are some homeless and poor people in that area, it's just that maybe you can't see them. Plus, the main reason why it probably won't become a highly urban area is because city folk won't want to live there. People tend to flock to areas where the weather is good, that is why they choose Southern California. So having cold winters can have a "herd thinning" effect. When I look at Cheyenne in this video (I have never been there, mind you), it looks like small town America to me. I have lived in Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, Austin and Honolulu. I love being in a big city for the cultural diversity. I am a Democrat, and would not want to live in a small town; not because I don't like Republicans (I don't) but because I don't mind the high population density in order to have more people around. Believe it or not, I feel safer in a big city than I do in a small town. Big cities have higher crime rates than small towns, but we should be looking at the per capita rates. I have lived in big cities for years, and I think someone broke into my car one time, years ago, but never had anyone break into my house, never been robbed at gunpoint, never been attacked by anyone. For the most part, I feel safe in the city.
Lol you forgot poor healthcare, poor education, poor higher education rate, poor job growth, poor opportunities and high drug addiction. So yeah. Let’s tell both sides.
@@alvarezgamers Those metrics you mentioned are from the South. You forgot that the midwest is highly educated, has high average IQ and doesn't have those problems you mentioned. In fact Omaha is on a red state with a republican mayor, Lincoln and Des Moines are doing well too.
As someone who grew up in Cheyenne this is what I remember: windy all the time, not much to do (for young people), change comes very slowly (and the locals prefer it that way), and very little traffic. The people are unassuming and polite.
I left there in 88. Went back in 97. Went back for the second time since 88 a few weeks after this video. Not much has changed. That's a good thing and a bad thing, depending on your perspective. It was definitely like stepping into Back To The Future for me.
you sure about not much to do for young people? i grew up in Cheyenne as-well but the rode i was on was filled with boys and had a heck of a time, same for my elderly neighbors some of the best people ever (Freda and Ron)
I have driven through Wyoming a few times recently. A beautiful state especially around Yellowstone and the Bighorn National Forest. It’s a lot like Montana, a lot of open land and you can easily go a 100 miles without seeing another town.
That's what makes Wyoming so great. I'm born and raised and still living in California. And a little too old to leave. But I am a Republican so I should fit right in.
I love that in the US you have Wyoming, New York, California, Florida and they are all different. Americans have options. You can choose where you want to live, the state that suits you best. I don't understand why so many Americans hate that America is varied and want it all to be the same. How boring would that be. Each state, or region, is like a different country. Wouldn't it be wiser to celebrate the diversity of culture, travel to each other's regions and enjoy the differences, than argue and fight and try to make everything the same?
@@NickJohnson Well not hate, but rather not appreciate. The whole right vs left divide in this country is each side wanting to make all of Aemrica in their own vision, everywhere. The left want every city town and country to have the same values as San Francisco, while the right want every city town and county to have the same values as Wyoming. At least in the last 10 to 15 years or so. And there is no willingness to compromise anymore.
The message from nearly all of Nick’s videos is that nearly everyone hates that America is now all the same. The variation has been lost under a ubiquitous lawlessness, drug addiction and homelessness. He’s forever lamenting how ‘clean and tidy’, wholesome and hopeful America used to be. Hence he likes Cheyenne. Romanticising the past is self defeating, but maybe we can’t get used to the essential problem and that is over population, felt worse in the big countries - America, China, India.
I love that even in Cheyenne, there's a way to tie in California somehow as to it growing in population, but only by virtue of another city in a bordering state.
This reminded me of going to a wedding in Nampa, Idaho. I'm a beach guy, shell necklace, Hawaiian shirt, tan, flipflops. Met a rodeo guy in the hallway at the motel. Big hat, Wrangler jeans, boots, dinner plate belt buckle. We both sized each other up and we both said at the exact same time, Sheeiittt! No fight ensued, we just shook our heads and went on our way.
Just visited my bestie & her family in Cheyenne a few weeks ago. I didn’t know what to expect, but came away jealous!! Lovely skies, nice folk and fantastic scenery. Was so disappointed to come back to my Houston reality 😅
My only regret with Wyoming is that I didn't move here sooner. I looked at Cheyenne when we were house hunting, but not seriously since it is so close to Colorado that it inevitably will before long be just like the festering Denver area. So, we found a great home in Gillette and never looked back. We do drive down to Denver once in a while and it is always a relief once we get past Fort Collins heading north on I25 as the insanity of traffic drops off right there, whew. The rest of the drive all the way home in Gillette is trafficless, yee haw. There is plenty to do in Gillette, and Casper and Cheyenne and Sheridan, and no problems or zombies walking the streets drugged up on who knows what these days. Kids can ride their bikes anywhere without a worry of weirdos or nasty people. And like you said Wyoming is kinda like how America was decades ago, peaceful, friendly, lawful, very much drug free, and we do shake hands here, and haven't met a nasty or bad person yet, my kind of place. Disclaimer: I'm a nonaffiliated independent conservative voter and you won't find me voting for any DemocRat, ever.
I'm an Aussie, I have to tell you that what you call "blue states" don't look like nice places to visit, the people come across so hateful and horrible, not a place I'd like to visit, but your red states seem so welcoming, It's the America I'd like to visit, people seem laid back and relaxed.
Facts👋🤔🤨 I'm an Escapee from Washington D.C. a Extreme perverted liberal hell hole.. Moved to Southern California when it was mostly conservative.. Now it's becoming an expensive Perverted Hell Hole.. I truck with a Alabama Flag is more Trustworthy than a fool in a Prius with a Terrorists BLM fake flag.. Any logical person knows Black People and ALL people matter.. If you ever read the BLM manifesto it was never about blacks it was about introducing perversion in the black community while destroying Father's in the Nuclear Family.. It's just half of America never research or study with logic🔍😎👍
From California and it's a fascist state. I'm not a person in California since I'm not vaccinated with mRNA, now in Red States I have a good life and more independent thinking, if Wyoming turned blue it would be a communists hellhole. Democrats should reap what they sow with their Satanic feel good empty gaslighting platitudes.
I love all of your videos, but this one has become one of my favorites. I lived in Montana in the 80s and would love to go back now. Really nice friendly people. Devils Tower was a great place to camp out. Wyoming is beautiful!
30:00 awesome!!! I used to see this in movies and I remember Rango movie, missed it. I dreamt of going to a place like this, a saloon, wild west, a cowboy's bar, a wagon, a tumbleweed. The real American deal. Great place, Wyoming. Such a gem!
Hey Nick I'm Australian I love watching your videos and am learning a lot about all the states cities and towns you do an amazing job love your sense of humor ❤ Wyoming what a beautiful state I grew up on western movies and would love to visit one day keep up the good work 😊
I'm from Ireland and drove through northern Wyoming, and it was really great. Wide open plains, small cowboy towns, and of course Devil's Peak ( from Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind ) :). It was mid summer, and just like driving through a western movie
Many years ago in the 60s I signed off a ship in Sydney NSW, got pick pocketed in the Kings Cross part of Sydney on my first night at the pubs there, but I got a job the next day. One of my first breakfasts there I got a rump steak with beans and a couple of eggs and the waitress said I hope you like what we eat for breakfast in Australia, yeah right that's about what I had for breakfast being raised in Wyoming. I even worked for the Victoria State Rivers in Cahuna Victoria, kind of felt like back home except for the abundance of the vegetation, I have more sage brush than trees on my property on Wyoming. We don't mind folks visting our state but please don't think about moving here, we already have out of states people driving like idiots, having no respect for others and drag in their stinking liberal ideas.
I live in Denver and like the culture of Wyoming. I stopped in Cheyenne at a truck stop and they had a rack of Christian books in the store. You would NEVER see that in Colorado.
@jameswesterman9283 yeah your state is so smart and successful that it has all that land but like no population. It's good it exists we need a place for people that aren't bright enough to be part of society.
Yep, that's one of the towns I grew up in Wyoming where I lived most of my life. I went to high school in Cheyenne, my Dad worked at the Union Pacific RR most of his life till he passed away from cancer several years ago.
I didnt grew up in Wyoming but many people driving a Porsche Cheyenne here in Switzerland,so there is a a deep connection between us!I think Wyoming has a great future very longterm because it wont get to hot there even with climat change!
@brunoheggli2888 I don't think so. It's too expensive in Canada. I liked not having taxes on everything I can actually afford groceries in Wyoming. But I am sure Canada has certain things that are better as well though.
@@coriettapadilla9977 There are some parts where they speak French,so it woud be fun to speak a new language and they play icehockey,that must be fun to!I will take a look in the Ukraine,could be a nice place when the war is over!
Are those the towns the California trash have relocated to? Idaho has Boise, the Californias who got turned into victims by “diversity” or can’t afford the tax’s move to safe, affordable red states then destroy it….blue locusts….
😂😂😂 You're exactly right. Cheyenne is definitely leaning left. Makes me wonder when Laramie County will turn blue. Probably not for a while but it will happen.
My husband and I want to live in Sheridan Wyoming. Colorado is stupidly expensive and we had two honeymoons in Wyoming and we want to retire there. Roamin' Wyoming!!! We don't want to be around people and we care little for a night life. We want isolation and simplicity ❤
Great stuff, Nick! I know there's allot of work you do behind the scenes (the video editing) to put all this together since I also "try" to do a few vids too. Yours this year have only gotten better and BETTER! A perfect mix of your own personality, your initial and then more extended impressions of their local culture, the local drives, and the very credible interviews with the locals. You are doing GREAT!
No we need economic migrants in our hotels and streets fighting with the "disenfranchised" locals like nyc. We need homeless terrorizing businesses and their customers.
Good video. We moved to Wyoming right before I turned 18 in June of 1991. We moved to Shoshoni. My dad was supposed to be starting a job at some plant in the area. I went to work at a steak house that was opening. Supposed to be a waitress, the cook had a heart attack the first day of opening in the middle of the day. I got moved to the kitchen cuz I was the only one who knew how to cook. 😅 Ended up being the head cook for about 3 months. Met some of the nicest people. We were from TX, and met a neighbor who was also from TX waiting on the same job my dad was waiting on. Met some of the nicest people there. Weather was fabulous. Not hot at all compared to TX. Only got up in the 80's. I asked someone at work what the gates were for at the end of town both directions. They told me in the winter it snows so much the gates get closed cuz it's too dangerous to get on the highway. I got home that day and told my parents I'm moving back to TX, yall can hang out and wait for that job if you want, but I'm not trying to get locked in somewhere in that much snow 😂 we moved back home to TX a few weeks later, the job never started. Still was a neat town, and I would like to go back an visit some day. With a dad who worked a lot of nuclear plants and other big steel mills, I was fortunate enough to get to do a lot of traveling over the years.
@@NickJohnson cool, not much in that town for sure. But sure nice ppl. One memory that really stands out, I just turned 50, I was 18 then, so it's been awhile. But my mom and I walked daily for exercise, and we would walk down to the little post office, there was also a small laundry mat there in town. We went to do laundry one day, waiting on our washer an dryer to be delivered, we probably weren't even in town for a week yet. We heard a lady and a kid screaming outside, step out to see what happened. The 2 yr old little girl was attacked by a dog, in the face. It was horrible, ended up with tons of stitches, I wanna say well over 100. I'll never forget that. I think of that family often.
@@joselopez-he1mc Quiet sounds good to me! Along with open spaces and people being the way they were described in the video. What do you mean by industrial? Where I live that means lot of pollution and generally ugly buildings.
@@annabelleb.8096 sections of town have industrial buildings from decades back. Those parts arent pretty. No razorwire graffitti like other cities areas.
If I was 50 years younger and had a lot more money to get a fresh start somewhere, Wyoming would be the perfect place for me. I'm a conservative, vote Republican, love snow, not real fond of most people, independent as Hell and hate authority telling me what I can and cannot do, love nature and the outdoors, like open spaces, and love being left alone to mind my own business. Peace and quiet is paradise to me. I would most likely enjoy Cody more than Cheyenne though because of the nearness to the mountains. I have been to Wyoming once back in the mid-1980's, went to Jackson for a few days and fell in love with the area, never saw such beauty. I understand Jackson has been almost ruined by the rich Dem millionaires trying to take over and bring their progressive crap "change", such a crying shame. Too late for me now, but anyone moving to Wyoming, especially retirees with a good secure retirement income, would be what I consider very fortunate. Like moving back a bit to the good old days we old folks remember.
@@byronkerby6897 Comprimises of either corporate "progressives" aka corporate but with a progressive "skin", naive or too emotionl progressives, and mainly just out of touch progressives. I said ivory but ivory tower is the proper term. Also your good old days weren't as good as you think they were. The world was different back then Different circumstances
Brother. Jackson is beyond the left right democrat republican divide. Its become a center of the people Actually In Charge of the world economic system, Like Davos Switzerland, Monaco, or Cashiers, North Carolina.
Vermont was filled with people who just wanted to mind their business....which meant it only took a few ill willed people to get their BS pushed forward. No state that doesn't realize that they have genuine enemies that want them to turn into Leftist shitholes can survive.
I pulled off I-80 once in Cheyenne for a taco johns . Great job with videos lately Nick your videos are great . One of the few RUclipsrs I allow my 5 year old to watch . You’re a good character sir . We love your content keep’er up
Fun fact: Taco John's was founded in Cheyenne, although the original location no longer exists. I think last year or so they moved the headquarters to somewhere in Minnesota as a lot of their new expansion has been in the Midwest.
Yeah watch your mouth partner , Mappy is the real potty mouth tho . Boy he’s vulgar and just down right obscene some times , Agh well kids gonna hear it eventually I suppose
I don't understand what you are talking about, but I turn on the subtitles. It is very interesting for me to observe countries and cities across the ocean. By the way, the nature at the beginning of the video is one to one similar to that in Khakassia, this is in Southern Siberia, in Russia, where the Turkic indigenous peoples (Khakass) live.
@@snyper105 Last year, Russia lifted the entry ban for foreign citizens. So feel free to come. Just decide which region of Russia you want to visit, because the country is very large. "Eli from Russia" on RUclips shows all the regions of our country, so that foreign citizens can understand.
Can't stand these younger kids who just can't be happy with where they live unless they get to change everything to achieve their vision of how they think it "should" be. Why don't they just move somewhere else that makes them happy? Why can't they just respect how the people that have lived there for a much longer time want to keep things the same? Everything always has to be "progress" with them.
@@jag92949yeah and now people are flocking there and it’s congested with overpopulation and traffic. Tbh it’s disgusting to me no matter how well the state is doing. So it’s a give and take type of deal. What Wyoming has works for them and you don’t fix what isn’t broken. I don’t want to see Wyoming become Florida tbh. Keep it open, wild and free.
I don't know if it's the kids, seems to me it's the meth and the fentanyl, and this stuff just devours them. The other thing that changes these places is money, people sitting on gains from real estate and stock market, and that buys stuff and makes housing expensive, and that's not kids either.
@@jag92949if I had a weird sexual fetish, I'd probably keep that shit to myself instead of trying to spread it to your kids so ron desantis doesn't have to shut it down.
Hey I live here. The commuters from Colorado and the increase number of jobs at FE are really changing Cheyenne (for the worse). Cheyenne is a shit show during frontier days and its only gotten worse, they've got knife and gun detectors now, unamerican. Our 'scary' side of town is south of the tracks, downtown is pretty nice. Frontier antiques gave up their FFL so they don't sell guns anymore.
You mean for the better soon weed will be legal and no lives will be ruined over a plant. It's called progression. Things evolve we don't stay the same forever if we did we'd make no progress.
@@centertonarkansastyrantpatrolLiterally nobody was talking about weed but thank you for enlightening us. Also, ruining the culture of a city/state and what makes it special, is not progress. Rich out-of-state city people moving in, bringing their problems with them, and buying up houses and ranches and raping the land, while pushing the locals out, bringing up housing costs and taxes is not progress.
@@centertonarkansastyrantpatrolyour main progression argument is about a drug? It always starts with "medicinal" use. Then recreational. Then before long people are fighting over meth and fentanyl addicts everywhere. It's happened over and over all across the country
@bruceh4180 Weed doesn't make you do other drugs or have all those problems. The issue is caused when the whole country doesn't make weed legal cuz then people flood the states that are.
It's not a bad place in the people are great however after watching this video you seen it all you could go through the entire Capitol and about two hours it's a capital city that has a small-town feel literally after watching this video You Seen It All
Another great one. I am with you on the greatness of Wyoming. Interesting that the boom isn't going there; that sets Wyoming apart. I will be interested to see if you are headed to Montana--will like to see your take on a comparison of Wyoming and Montana. If I had to pick one place to be, not having already created my remote cabin paradise in central Utah, it would be one of those two (and not much else).
I once met a rapper from Wyoming who was on tour, stopping by Sactown. I asked him what the heck is there to do out there. He said smoke meth or work in the oil fields. I about died of laughter. He worked in the oil industry for the record lol. But that was one man's take. Thank you for doing these vids. I don't get to travel much. So your videos are as close as I get. Much love from Siskiyou county CA!
@@NickJohnson it's great up here man. Yreka has become tweaker central sadly :/ but Scott Valley where I live is still rural and nice. I live in Callahan, CA. Like 250 here and most of em live off the beaten trail. Like I said I'd love to share an ice cold beer with you at the Callahan Emporium someday! Thank you for the videos and keep up the great work!!!
Doesn't get more American than this. Thanks Nick for showing us the real America, not your Hollywood America, but the REAL America. And She is a beauty in my book no matter what anyone else says. As a dumb non-American, I wish America all the best. I truly believe she will be great again. It might take a few decades but make no mistake SHE WILL RISE AGAIN. Hopefully she will learn her lessens and be a gentle giant next time around. No more wars, no more freaking wars...
As a New Yorker I never “got” these places. Denver feels like a small town to me. Either way, it’s nice that people can find a place they like. This country is a big place
Teton County and Albany County vote democrat every year. That's because Jackson is CA east, and Albany county is where UW is. They are the only ones who voted for Cheney in the last primary. Cheyenne is WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much like Denver but not as liberal as Jackson or Laramie.
All of the viewers that like the “bad stuff” were almost disappointed but you did show a few things lol. Awesome video Nick. Your sense of humour is epic.
Utah only gets about 3-5 tornados per year, while Wyoming gets about 10-14. Most of those 10-14 tornadoes are in the eastern part of the state. This part of Wyoming is on the front range of the Rocky Mountains where the terrain is much flatter.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm a transplant myself and finally found my happy place. From Atlanta most of my life to Denver for 11 years and finally made it home. Just one comment, next time you come to visit, if you're looking for ethnic food that isn't mexican food, check out Durbar Nepalese and Indian Bistro! YUM!!! And please tell me that you ate at The Bunkhouse when you stopped there.
I went to frontier days as a kid in the 1960s. Frontier days was relatively small compared to what it is today. Real carnival. Lots of alcohol. Real rowdy.
I’ve always been fascinated with Wyoming life and the state’s natural beauty. Great video! Love to see a video like this for snobby, ski-town Jackson, WY.
There is a Thai restaurant there with delicious food. My husband and I like the scenery as we drive from our house in Northern Colorado to Cheyenne, a 25 minute drive.
Both parties suck Democratic and Republican they do absolutely nothing for the Working Class People of America but give our taxpayers money away to foreign welfare to kill little kids
I love the State of Wyoming, historical and conservative with a Cowboy touch. Unfortunately, the Winters are long and cold, but nothing is perfect in this world. ❤
I lived 5 years in Cheyenne, not the easiest place to find good paying jobs as large part of the population commute to northern Colorado for work but will always have a special place in my heart for the town
I love how Dominick Syracuse starts the interview, by interviewing you, right off of the bat. That's great. Mid westerner charm there. I lived in Omaha Area, Bellevue. For a long time. That is prevalent there too
30:00 awesome!!! I used to see this in movies and I remember Rango movie, missed it. I dreamt of going to a place like this, a saloon, wild west, a cowboy's bar, a wagon, a tumbleweed. The real American deal. Great place, Wyoming. Such a gem!
I live in Cheyenne. It may have a lot of registered Republicans, but there are a lot of RINO (Republican in Name Only) politicians that have moved here banking on the ease of getting elected due to the small population and working on implementing more liberal policies. Ya that bringing your crap with you and changing the place you moved into kind of thing.
1:05 “What’s it like in the cowboy State?” Well, read that sentence again. “Cowboy,” not cowthey, cowthem, or even cowzim. It’s “Cowboy” and that make this place heaven :).
Something i noticed while researching Wyoming is Not many Lakes & Not many River's so Mariner's & Fisherman beware it's a Maximum Dry State it's a Miracle of God that Wyoming isn't a Desert
I never comment, but watch all of your videos. My youngest brother lives in Sheridan, I have been twice and love that State!! He is close to the Big Horn Mountains. GREAT VIDEO Nick!
Honestly, Wyoming in general is one of the greatest examples of pragmatic conservatism and libertarianism in the US.This is what the GOP should strive for nationwide.
Those in Wyoming like smaller towns with fewer people but then support Republicans who believe in large families with many children amd increasing population. But increasing population increases all the problems they are trying to avoid.
@@geodude7116 That's an astute point (with regard to population management). I am a fervent antinatalist, and I'm aware I'm in an extreme minority with this, but I believe that informed population self-control is much more effective than the polarisation of viewpoints caused by the culture war, involving gender and new identities, etc. All that's happened with the "new work" approach (i.e. "education" to reduce fertility rates) is that you have had 2 camps emerging: neo-Christian neoconservatives on one, and their opponents on absolutely everything, on the other. The neocons aren't multiplying like rabbits. Yet if you allocate more resources to their opponents, then their opponents would do all the same things as before (i.e. reproduce, travel, etc.) despite their avowed support for gender self-identities and other sociological experiments. It would become just another generational identity thing, similar to flower-power kids vs Gen X. This achieves absolutely nothing. It's time to get straight with people, right down to the very core philosophy of life. You can't treat people like a mere factor of production and then expect to manage them with these devices. It just isn't working. The wars, disease and famine will go on and nobody will trust people like Bill Gates, etc.
Great video. Looks like a great place to live except for the cold weather. I like the idea of being a red state. I dont see a lot of tents or homeless people. I guess the weather is too cold. I like the idea of being clean and laid back. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent job Nick!! Just moved away from Cheyenne 2 years ago. Couldn't take the lack of opportunity for ourselves and our children (nor the violent wind). You nailed nearly everything, other than slightly overplaying the amount of things to do! My wife and I love your videos, and now we can definitely trust that you are doing your research on the places you visit after watching you pretty much sum our hometown up perfectly.
Planning to move to Wyoming one day, because they are probably the best people and have the best place to survive world ending disasters. Including nuclear winter from World War 3. Not only would it be great to make a homestead and greenhouse out there, the place would be perfect for large numbers of preppers and survivalists. Forming a community of people who make it a habit to prepare for hard times would probably make that practice the norm in the entire town. Who knows how much other people can learn by becoming resourceful and thoughtful and much less prone to wasting resources? Wyoming is the perfect community for that, because I can definitely see people in Wyoming becoming very survival prone.
No such thing as "nuclear winter".-----That was a 1980s Carl Sagan fallacy. Btw, there are ICBMs in the greater Cheyenne area...so....it's not as safe from the Russians and/or Chinese as you might think.
If you add up the population of three Dallas Metroplex suburban cities, Plano, Garland, and Richardson, you have more people than Wyoming. It is a beautiful place and would be a great place to live if it didn't get so cold in the winter.
I grew up in Plano, way back in time when it was not much different than Wyoming. One high school with less than 200 in my graduating class. So few police, we knew them all by name. I could walk around with a rifle and hunt small game and passers by ignored me. I was there a month ago. Depressing. Never going back.
My grandma grew up in Kansas and southern Colorado. She had a whole bunch of Wyoming jokes that she would tell----most of them had to do with how windy it is there.
Wyoming's population density is even lower than the overall "average" would indicate. Cheyenne and Casper have roughly a quarter of the state's total population. After that, it's REALLY spread out.
Love all your adventures ❤. I used to line dance at the Brandon Iron back in the early 90s. It was a great hangout and my friends actually had their wedding there 😁. Keep on being YOU 👍🙌

Lots of conservative Mormons in Wyoming.

Moved from Denver to Cheyenne six years ago. This video is spot on in its portrayal. I even know Dominic, so watching this is a bit surreal. Glad Nick had a good time!
Dominic for mayor. He understands the place.
Well, it isn't Denver. THAT IS GOOD!
I used to use to work Railroad Construction in Wyoming, and worked for an Oil Company.
I left for a job Opportunity in the late 90's out of state. I still miss Wyoming and the great people I met there. It's a great state🇺🇲
Cheyenne is a good town. Clean, safe, good economy. Only downside is brutal winters. Blizzards and white outs suck. They also get tornadoes. The people are hard workers and very respectful.
Blizzards! A good reason to move there, thanks! Tornadoes not so much.
I love Wyoming! I live in Montana and it's about 30 minutes to get to Wyoming from home. The people are very nice and the men call you Mam and hold the door for you.
Are you trying to tell me the guys in Montana won't hold the door open for you, I find that hard to believe!
@@prophetmargin7497 Only at church.
Men hold doors open for ladies where I live 🤷♀️ & I tell em Thank you, Sir!
I didn't know you could still hold a door open for a woman anywhere without being sued in court for sexual harrassment.
I hate being called "ma'am".
This is what happens when you put conservatives in office. If you go to a red city most of time law and order is turned on, no graffiti, no trash & needles everywhere, no homeless zombies walking around, affordable housing, great opportunity, low taxes, a well armed society, sense of community, faith/family, great schools, low crimes rates and most importantly kindness. No dark cloud looming over the city.
It requires an equally conservative populace or it'll go blue and turn into a shithole
Whats up with Kentucky and Louisiana cities?
The more rural parts of America are generally more conservative. Even in states that are blue, you can see from the election map, that all the blue states' Democratic votes come from the areas with high population density, and red votes come from the areas with lower population density. I think the mindset of people changes based on their surroundings.
I am willing to bet that there are some homeless and poor people in that area, it's just that maybe you can't see them.
Plus, the main reason why it probably won't become a highly urban area is because city folk won't want to live there. People tend to flock to areas where the weather is good, that is why they choose Southern California. So having cold winters can have a "herd thinning" effect. When I look at Cheyenne in this video (I have never been there, mind you), it looks like small town America to me. I have lived in Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, Austin and Honolulu. I love being in a big city for the cultural diversity. I am a Democrat, and would not want to live in a small town; not because I don't like Republicans (I don't) but because I don't mind the high population density in order to have more people around. Believe it or not, I feel safer in a big city than I do in a small town. Big cities have higher crime rates than small towns, but we should be looking at the per capita rates. I have lived in big cities for years, and I think someone broke into my car one time, years ago, but never had anyone break into my house, never been robbed at gunpoint, never been attacked by anyone. For the most part, I feel safe in the city.
Lol you forgot poor healthcare, poor education, poor higher education rate, poor job growth, poor opportunities and high drug addiction. So yeah. Let’s tell both sides.
@@alvarezgamers Those metrics you mentioned are from the South. You forgot that the midwest is highly educated, has high average IQ and doesn't have those problems you mentioned. In fact Omaha is on a red state with a republican mayor, Lincoln and Des Moines are doing well too.
As someone who grew up in Cheyenne this is what I remember: windy all the time, not much to do (for young people), change comes very slowly (and the locals prefer it that way), and very little traffic. The people are unassuming and polite.
I left there in 88. Went back in 97. Went back for the second time since 88 a few weeks after this video. Not much has changed. That's a good thing and a bad thing, depending on your perspective. It was definitely like stepping into Back To The Future for me.
you sure about not much to do for young people? i grew up in Cheyenne as-well but the rode i was on was filled with boys and had a heck of a time, same for my elderly neighbors some of the best people ever (Freda and Ron)
I have driven through Wyoming a few times recently. A beautiful state especially around Yellowstone and the Bighorn National Forest. It’s a lot like Montana, a lot of open land and you can easily go a 100 miles without seeing another town.
@@TOCC50What about wages?
man i tell ya, Wyoming and Montana are both just stunningly gorgeous places ! but those winters are way too long and harsh !
you kidding thats the best part!
thats how we weed out the sissies!
The winters are brutal!!!!!!
I’m from Florida and the winters and low humidity are why i want to move up there
Good! You can stay out!
That's what makes Wyoming so great. I'm born and raised and still living in California. And a little too old to leave. But I am a Republican so I should fit right in.
I love that in the US you have Wyoming, New York, California, Florida and they are all different. Americans have options. You can choose where you want to live, the state that suits you best. I don't understand why so many Americans hate that America is varied and want it all to be the same. How boring would that be. Each state, or region, is like a different country. Wouldn't it be wiser to celebrate the diversity of culture, travel to each other's regions and enjoy the differences, than argue and fight and try to make everything the same?
No one hates that america is varied that I know of
@@NickJohnson Well not hate, but rather not appreciate. The whole right vs left divide in this country is each side wanting to make all of Aemrica in their own vision, everywhere. The left want every city town and country to have the same values as San Francisco, while the right want every city town and county to have the same values as Wyoming. At least in the last 10 to 15 years or so. And there is no willingness to compromise anymore.
I do love Federalism.
The message from nearly all of Nick’s videos is that nearly everyone hates that America is now all the same. The variation has been lost under a ubiquitous lawlessness, drug addiction and homelessness. He’s forever lamenting how ‘clean and tidy’, wholesome and hopeful America used to be. Hence he likes Cheyenne.
Romanticising the past is self defeating, but maybe we can’t get used to the essential problem and that is over population, felt worse in the big countries - America, China, India.
I love that even in Cheyenne, there's a way to tie in California somehow as to it
growing in population, but only by virtue of another city in a bordering state.
This reminded me of going to a wedding in Nampa, Idaho. I'm a beach guy, shell necklace, Hawaiian shirt, tan, flipflops. Met a rodeo guy in the hallway at the motel. Big hat, Wrangler jeans, boots, dinner plate belt buckle. We both sized each other up and we both said at the exact same time, Sheeiittt! No fight ensued, we just shook our heads and went on our way.

houston is a third world mexican shithole now. the few remaining white places like utah/idaho/wyoming are becoming rare.
My only regret with Wyoming is that I didn't move here sooner. I looked at Cheyenne when we were house hunting, but not seriously since it is so close to Colorado that it inevitably will before long be just like the festering Denver area. So, we found a great home in Gillette and never looked back. We do drive down to Denver once in a while and it is always a relief once we get past Fort Collins heading north on I25 as the insanity of traffic drops off right there, whew. The rest of the drive all the way home in Gillette is trafficless, yee haw. There is plenty to do in Gillette, and Casper and Cheyenne and Sheridan, and no problems or zombies walking the streets drugged up on who knows what these days. Kids can ride their bikes anywhere without a worry of weirdos or nasty people. And like you said Wyoming is kinda like how America was decades ago, peaceful, friendly, lawful, very much drug free, and we do shake hands here, and haven't met a nasty or bad person yet, my kind of place. Disclaimer: I'm a nonaffiliated independent conservative voter and you won't find me voting for any DemocRat, ever.
it's because all of america used to be 90% white, now only a few places like utah/idaho/montana/wyoming are that way.
Yay, spot on .Voting Democrat is suicidal

One of my first breakfasts there I got a rump steak with beans and a couple of eggs and the waitress said I hope you like what we eat for breakfast in Australia, yeah right that's about what I had for breakfast being raised in Wyoming. I even worked for the Victoria State Rivers in Cahuna Victoria, kind of felt like back home except for the abundance of the vegetation, I have more sage brush than trees on my property on Wyoming. We don't mind folks visting our state but please don't think about moving here, we already have out of states people driving like idiots, having no respect for others and drag in their stinking liberal ideas.

The three left-leaning towns in Wyoming are Cheyenne… Laramie… and Jackson. The rest of the state is mostly populated by decent folk.
Are those the towns the California trash have relocated to? Idaho has Boise, the Californias who got turned into victims by “diversity” or can’t afford the tax’s move to safe, affordable red states then destroy it….blue locusts….

Laramie, WY Western TV show is awesome! Very good values to learn. Still relevant today.
Good video. We moved to Wyoming right before I turned 18 in June of 1991. We moved to Shoshoni. My dad was supposed to be starting a job at some plant in the area. I went to work at a steak house that was opening. Supposed to be a waitress, the cook had a heart attack the first day of opening in the middle of the day. I got moved to the kitchen cuz I was the only one who knew how to cook. 😅 Ended up being the head cook for about 3 months. Met some of the nicest people. We were from TX, and met a neighbor who was also from TX waiting on the same job my dad was waiting on. Met some of the nicest people there. Weather was fabulous. Not hot at all compared to TX. Only got up in the 80's. I asked someone at work what the gates were for at the end of town both directions. They told me in the winter it snows so much the gates get closed cuz it's too dangerous to get on the highway. I got home that day and told my parents I'm moving back to TX, yall can hang out and wait for that job if you want, but I'm not trying to get locked in somewhere in that much snow 😂 we moved back home to TX a few weeks later, the job never started. Still was a neat town, and I would like to go back an visit some day. With a dad who worked a lot of nuclear plants and other big steel mills, I was fortunate enough to get to do a lot of traveling over the years.
Lol, it isn't so much the amount of snow, as it is the wind, and white-out conditions. (And the ice that forns on the roads)
I was in shoshoni for a little bit. I talk about it in another video coming out one day. ❤️
@@NickJohnson cool, not much in that town for sure. But sure nice ppl. One memory that really stands out, I just turned 50, I was 18 then, so it's been awhile. But my mom and I walked daily for exercise, and we would walk down to the little post office, there was also a small laundry mat there in town. We went to do laundry one day, waiting on our washer an dryer to be delivered, we probably weren't even in town for a week yet. We heard a lady and a kid screaming outside, step out to see what happened. The 2 yr old little girl was attacked by a dog, in the face. It was horrible, ended up with tons of stitches, I wanna say well over 100. I'll never forget that. I think of that family often.
The place you stayed in is absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't believe it. I would love to visit Cheyenne.
Its alright. I love it but really wouldnt recc it for others for a visit. Quiet and industrial.
@@joselopez-he1mc Quiet sounds good to me! Along with open spaces and people being the way they were described in the video. What do you mean by industrial? Where I live that means lot of pollution and generally ugly buildings.

If I was 50 years younger and had a lot more money to get a fresh start somewhere, Wyoming would be the perfect place for me. I'm a conservative, vote Republican, love snow, not real fond of most people, independent as Hell and hate authority telling me what I can and cannot do, love nature and the outdoors, like open spaces, and love being left alone to mind my own business. Peace and quiet is paradise to me. I would most likely enjoy Cody more than Cheyenne though because of the nearness to the mountains. I have been to Wyoming once back in the mid-1980's, went to Jackson for a few days and fell in love with the area, never saw such beauty. I understand Jackson has been almost ruined by the rich Dem millionaires trying to take over and bring their progressive crap "change", such a crying shame. Too late for me now, but anyone moving to Wyoming, especially retirees with a good secure retirement income, would be what I consider very fortunate. Like moving back a bit to the good old days we old folks remember.

Hey I live here. The commuters from Colorado and the increase number of jobs at FE are really changing Cheyenne (for the worse). Cheyenne is a shit show during frontier days and its only gotten worse, they've got knife and gun detectors now, unamerican. Our 'scary' side of town is south of the tracks, downtown is pretty nice. Frontier antiques gave up their FFL so they don't sell guns anymore.

@@centertonarkansastyrantpatrolLiterally nobody was talking about weed but thank you for enlightening us. Also, ruining the culture of a city/state and what makes it special, is not progress.

What is un- American about gun detectors? In the 1800's there was more gun control laws in many towns than there is now. You knew that, right?
@@centertonarkansastyrantpatrolyour main progression argument is about a drug? It always starts with "medicinal" use. Then recreational. Then before long people are fighting over meth and fentanyl addicts everywhere. It's happened over and over all across the country

@@blizzardwarning5198 I have been away for a decade and I still miss home. Just moved to SF and it feels like 1/6 of Queens …
@@LucasDimoveo Sounds like Queens is without a doubt firmly in your heart. Hope you can get back home some day.
One of the best videos I've ever watched on RUclips, so much soul to it.
Teton County and Albany County vote democrat every year.
That's because Jackson is CA east, and Albany county is where UW is.
They are the only ones who voted for Cheney in the last primary.
Cheyenne is WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much like Denver but not as liberal
as Jackson or Laramie.
All of the viewers that like the “bad stuff” were almost disappointed but you did show a few things lol. Awesome video Nick. Your sense of humour is epic.
Graffiti is evolving? That statement made my head snap.
It’s not graffiti. It’s murals. Most of it is quite nice actually.
Love your videos. Funny yet informative
Utah only gets about 3-5 tornados per year, while Wyoming gets about 10-14. Most of those 10-14 tornadoes are in the eastern part of the state. This part of Wyoming is on the front range of the Rocky Mountains where the terrain is much flatter.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm a transplant myself and finally found my happy place. From Atlanta most of my life to Denver for 11 years and finally made it home. Just one comment, next time you come to visit, if you're looking for ethnic food that isn't mexican food, check out Durbar Nepalese and Indian Bistro! YUM!!! And please tell me that you ate at The Bunkhouse when you stopped there.
Bunkhouse was closed
@@NickJohnson Bummer! Well come back and see us soon! Glad you enjoyed your visit!
I went to frontier days as a kid in the 1960s. Frontier days was relatively small compared to what it is today. Real carnival. Lots of alcohol. Real rowdy.
No Rap, please! We just bought in home in Cheyenne to get away from LA, and the urban crap.
Yep! It's like these people beg to have their towns and states ruined.
Try NOT to vote in the disaster you left. That is why states you move to don't like you much.
I’ve always been fascinated with Wyoming life and the state’s natural beauty. Great video! Love to see a video like this for snobby, ski-town Jackson, WY.
Jackson was too expensive for me to visit - so forget them
@@NickJohnsonWow! Awesome Video Nick!!!👍
@@NickJohnsonI drove through Jackson on my way to Yellowstone NP one year ago. I camped overnight in West Yellowstone, MT.
Wyoming the rare earths hope for the United States. Nice vid. Thanks.
Keep the state red.
There is a Thai restaurant there with delicious food. My husband and I like the scenery as we drive from our house in Northern Colorado to Cheyenne, a 25 minute drive.
Are you talking about the Korean place?
@@NickJohnson No. I don’t remember the name since we have gone carnivore we quit going there.
@@NickJohnson anongs is thai in 3 wy cities. Korea house is 20yrs in town and durbar is nepal indian food. Also a small taiwanese hut in town.
Anongs Thai Cuisine. I love that place! It’s very good.
Don't vote blue.
Both parties suck Democratic and Republican they do absolutely nothing for the Working Class People of America but give our taxpayers money away to foreign welfare to kill little kids
Go back home to what ever southern state you came from!
I won't i'm registered Republican
I love the State of Wyoming, historical and conservative with a Cowboy touch. Unfortunately, the Winters are long and cold, but nothing is perfect in this world. ❤
I lived 5 years in Cheyenne, not the easiest place to find good paying jobs as large part of the population commute to northern Colorado for work but will always have a special place in my heart for the town
I love how Dominick Syracuse starts the interview, by interviewing you, right off of the bat. That's great. Mid westerner charm there. I lived in Omaha Area, Bellevue. For a long time. That is prevalent there too
30:00 awesome!!! I used to see this in movies and I remember Rango movie, missed it. I dreamt of going to a place like this, a saloon, wild west, a cowboy's bar, a wagon, a tumbleweed. The real American deal. Great place, Wyoming. Such a gem!
They do have hills and mountains as well. Very pretty place.
This is the aerial america with commentary that we all needed!! Thanks Nick. You put good work in my friend. We need more mappy!
Mappy says Hi!
I live in Cheyenne. It may have a lot of registered Republicans, but there are a lot of RINO (Republican in Name Only) politicians that have moved here banking on the ease of getting elected due to the small population and working on implementing more liberal policies. Ya that bringing your crap with you and changing the place you moved into kind of thing.
1:05 “What’s it like in the cowboy State?” Well, read that sentence again. “Cowboy,” not cowthey, cowthem, or even cowzim. It’s “Cowboy” and that make this place heaven :).
Something i noticed while researching Wyoming is Not many Lakes & Not many River's so Mariner's & Fisherman beware it's a Maximum Dry State it's a Miracle of God that Wyoming isn't a Desert
I drove through the State of Wyoming almost 20 years ago.. It looked like a Christmas card with a light snowfall, bison on the plains and mountains.
I love the outfits! Your vids are the best Nick Johnson! You did a great job capturing WY:)
You were there honey!
I just moved here to Cheyenne from Texas. I wish i knew you were here. I would've said hello!!
Next time 👋
I never comment, but watch all of your videos. My youngest brother lives in Sheridan, I have been twice and love that State!! He is close to the Big Horn Mountains. GREAT VIDEO Nick!
Comment more David ❤️
Sheridan is really nice.
Honestly, Wyoming in general is one of the greatest examples of pragmatic conservatism and libertarianism in the US.This is what the GOP should strive for nationwide.
It's like the last American state or something. This is what America is supposed to look like.
We’d be a third world country if everything looked like this lol
Those in Wyoming like smaller towns with fewer people but then support Republicans who believe in large families with many children amd increasing population. But increasing population increases all the problems they are trying to avoid.
@@geodude7116 That's an astute point (with regard to population management). I am a fervent antinatalist, and I'm aware I'm in an extreme minority with this, but I believe that informed population self-control is much more effective than the polarisation of viewpoints caused by the culture war, involving gender and new identities, etc. All that's happened with the "new work" approach (i.e. "education" to reduce fertility rates) is that you have had 2 camps emerging: neo-Christian neoconservatives on one, and their opponents on absolutely everything, on the other. The neocons aren't multiplying like rabbits. Yet if you allocate more resources to their opponents, then their opponents would do all the same things as before (i.e. reproduce, travel, etc.) despite their avowed support for gender self-identities and other sociological experiments. It would become just another generational identity thing, similar to flower-power kids vs Gen X. This achieves absolutely nothing. It's time to get straight with people, right down to the very core philosophy of life. You can't treat people like a mere factor of production and then expect to manage them with these devices. It just isn't working. The wars, disease and famine will go on and nobody will trust people like Bill Gates, etc.
Bingo 🎯 We love America, equal rights and opportunity and FREEDOM 🙏💯💪🇺🇲 TRUE FREEDOM FOR ALL WHO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR WAY OF LIFE 🙏💯💪🇺🇲
No rainbow flags and not many people. My kinda place.
Seriously. In my city in Massachusetts there’s 4 pride flags for every USA flag
@@brindlekintalesthese guys are always the ones bothering me in the restroom. Self hatred runs deep
Great video. Looks like a great place to live except for the cold weather. I like the idea of being a red state. I dont see a lot of tents or homeless people. I guess the weather is too cold. I like the idea of being clean and laid back. Thanks for sharing.
No one wants to live there! That’s why there aren’t homeless.
Thank you Nick for showing our country to those like me who do not travel our beloved America for better or worse!
Ok Steve!
Thank you Nick for this wonderful vurtual tour. I live in the Philippines. It looks peaceful there. I love it.
Nicks western get up outfit kinda reminded me of Marty Mcfly in BTTF 3
Excellent job Nick!! Just moved away from Cheyenne 2 years ago. Couldn't take the lack of opportunity for ourselves and our children (nor the violent wind). You nailed nearly everything, other than slightly overplaying the amount of things to do!
My wife and I love your videos, and now we can definitely trust that you are doing your research on the places you visit after watching you pretty much sum our hometown up perfectly.
Move back! Cheyenne wants you back!
You first!!@@NickJohnson
Planning to move to Wyoming one day, because they are probably the best people and have the best place to survive world ending disasters. Including nuclear winter from World War 3.
Not only would it be great to make a homestead and greenhouse out there, the place would be perfect for large numbers of preppers and survivalists. Forming a community of people who make it a habit to prepare for hard times would probably make that practice the norm in the entire town. Who knows how much other people can learn by becoming resourceful and thoughtful and much less prone to wasting resources? Wyoming is the perfect community for that, because I can definitely see people in Wyoming becoming very survival prone.
No such thing as "nuclear winter".-----That was a 1980s Carl Sagan fallacy.
Btw, there are ICBMs in the greater Cheyenne area...so....it's not as safe from the Russians and/or Chinese as you might think.
If Yellowstone blew, the entire state might be covered in several feet of ash.
BILL GATES WANTED TO PUT A NUCLEAR PLANT IN CODY, WYOMING. THAT'S PURE CRAZY WITH YELLOWSTONE NEXT DOOR!@@davestewart2067
Fortunately, the weather is absolutely terrible in Cheyenne and Laramie. It's easy to guess which people will leave before the "next" winter. 😀
If you add up the population of three Dallas Metroplex suburban cities, Plano, Garland, and Richardson, you have more people than Wyoming. It is a beautiful place and would be a great place to live if it didn't get so cold in the winter.
I grew up in Plano, way back in time when it was not much different than Wyoming. One high school with less than 200 in my graduating class. So few police, we knew them all by name. I could walk around with a rifle and hunt small game and passers by ignored me. I was there a month ago. Depressing. Never going back.
THANKS, FOR THE NICK JOHNSON PRODUCTION VIDEO! YOU FIT IN THERE PRETTY GOOD, NICK!
My grandma grew up in Kansas and southern Colorado. She had a whole bunch of Wyoming jokes that she would tell----most of them had to do with how windy it is there.
Why is Wyoming so windy? Because Utah blows and Nebraska sucks. Jokes like that?
I really really appreciate these videos, Super Fun 🙂
Wyoming's population density is even lower than the overall "average" would indicate. Cheyenne and Casper have roughly a quarter of the state's total population. After that, it's REALLY spread out.
Love all your adventures ❤. I used to line dance at the Brandon Iron back in the early 90s. It was a great hangout and my friends actually had their wedding there 😁. Keep on being YOU 👍🙌
The BI was my fave of all time
