@@jjberg83 Well all the cities you just mentioned have strict anti gun laws and bad self defense laws. Most criminals in those places do assume and hope you dont have a gun. If it was as ubiquitous to have a gun in those places as it is in Wyoming and self defense laws made sense (stand your ground) then crime would be lower most likely.
I’ve lived in Wyoming my whole life, and yes, I can attest that we don’t really like it when people come and try to change things, just come and enjoy what we have, because while it might not be much, the ability to easily find a place to be alone is incredibly under appreciated until you find yourself sitting in a 10 foot tire watching the sun go down.
I've been considering relocating to Wyoming, I want to be able to homestead I tried it here in AZ but it's horrible here but at the same time I love restaurants and city life, do you have any suggestions?
We have no problem with people moving to Wyoming, just know that if you come here and try to change things, we don’t want you here. We work hard and play hard, and if your not ok with Big emission destroying trucks, people having guns, and the great outdoors. Not your jam?? Keep on going through lol
My family is thinking of trying to find a place somewhere up there. We live in oklahoma atm. Our justice system here in oklahoma is getting worst every day. Liberals are taking over day by day coming from Tulsa. We want peace. Somewhere quiet but near a good-sized town so the ladies will have shopping and such. How hard and how much would it be to just purchase around 10 or so acres with a house or building one? The economy in oklahoma is VERY low and there are not many good jobs at all. God we just want to live quietly, away from the government's BS, away from drugs, gang violence, thieves, and scum bags.
I came to Cheyenne Wyoming 3 and a half years ago to visit my sister. Liked it so much I never went home to Austin Texas. I love the culture. The quiet. And the peacefulness.
As a resident Native American from the eastern Shoshone tribe, Yes there is a drug issue and poverty but not all of us are like that and not all of the rez is like that. It would of been nice for him to mention the beadwork and art made by the locals sold at the store as well as the museum that hold stories and history of my culture. The pow wow is a big deal as well and many of us hold on to our old sacred ways and practice them today where we do sweat lodges and Sundance. The community also holds gatherings for people to learn how to make Gotzup (chokecherry gravy), There is also a Program where we can go to learn CrossFit. I was kind of annoyed that you under looked the reservation by just mentioning drugs and poverty and casinos.

Because those habits coincide and are part of human nature, The same can be said for florida or Nevada. He didn't say the indigenous residents are responsible or that they have nothing to offer.

Miami has alot to offer but i would be lying if drugs and crime weren't prevalent.
@@noahreyna76 You are right. Wyoming is like Narnia or Camelot. It's a place made up to set cowboy stories in. I should know. I've lived there over 20 years. Ergo, I am also not real. And if you are reading this then you aren't real either. WEEP AT YOUR OWN NONBEING!
Wyoming reminds me of a very good female friend of mine whom we used to exchange letters two decades ago. She lived in Cheyenne, and passed away some years ago! I do miss her very much!!
Wyoming where the men outnumber the women 2 to1 and the Sheep always stay nervous.. hehehe.. I am moving to the Philippines where there are more available beautiful women than anywhere else in the world
I lived in Wyoming for 13 months for job transfer. Electrician. I liked it. My favorite city is Sheridan. We lived in Leiter, Wyoming at the time 2008/2009. Then we moved to Douglas, Wyoming Working on the wind farm. Now we are back in the south. I would move back there.
Been to Wyoming. Big sky country, with purple mountain's majesty and amber waves of grain. The people were super nice, friendly, and helpful. Very much my idea of the American West frontier country. Totally different from the Southeast and Midwest people. Maybe we're too close together here (the South), so we're not as genuinely happy to see other people.
I'm a Wyoming citizen but give me that country ham grits and gravy Black eyed peas and turnip greens and I'll eat them all day long 👍 elk meat and hot coffee salt cured bacon 😋
I was in Cheyenne 3 weeks ago. In the approx. 36 hours I spent there, I saw less than 100 people. As a matter of fact, there were more people in the hotel I was staying at than what I saw in the actual city. Unfortunately all museums were closed since it was Memorial weekend, but damn sure I loved the quietness. Next day I had to regret leaving when I found myself stuck in traffic in my big snobby city.
Coming from Chicago on a western road trip this past summer was very interesting. Hands down the most beautiful, expansive, and amazing state I have been to!
I remember back in the 90's driving across I80 at 80,000 pounds , in a tractor trailer and getting blown from the left lane to the right shoulder by high wind. Also I got snowed in for 3½ days during a storm, in mid September.
Another great video! Wyoming is a beautiful state, but good to mention having an emergency kit. I was going through the state on a major state highway and only saw about 3 cars in 3 hours. If you broke down at night, it might get lonely! But absolutely beautiful!
YES! The prettiest place I've ever been in the States, I love Wyoming! The buffalo vs bison bit, LOL.... loved the video and also the baby with the hat, thanks Nick!!
I absolutely fell in love with Wyoming after working there for one week, 2 years ago! I've been wanting to live there ever since! My family and I will be relocating to Wyoming this June!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can't wait!!!
I visited there last week in Gillette and its wonderful. I'm from SoCal and its a big day and night difference. Even the peace and quiet and space you can actually have. My family and I plan to move and it'll be on time for Independence Day, which I hear the town celebrates really well for.
I drove through Wyoming and I am from south Florida. I fell in love with the views in Wyoming. Planning on going back to stay for a visit, even been looking into buying land.
I moved to Naples, FL back in 2016. I came here from Ohio and now I'm watching videos and daydreaming about moving to Wyoming 😂. I love it down here in Florida but it's getting to crowded.
It’s incredible I moved here from NJ. I believe living here has made me a better person and has shaped me as a person a lot. When there is certain environmental challenges and not everything is convenient it makes life a little more interesting and rewarding. Also when people say there’s no jobs or nothing to do they’re full of crap. I have a lot more opportunities here to do what I enjoy and I have more of a future here as young person than I would in a state like NJ where the average cost of living is exponentially higher. I also enjoy more freedom here than I would in any other place I’ve lived I totally understand the wariness of out of staters but people here are generally kind and quick to “let you in” and be supportive if you show interest in actually living the lifestyle.
Wyoming has LOTS of trains. From Cheyenne to Evanston is the mainline of the Union Pacific. South of Gillette in the Powder River Basin is the Coal Line. Both are VERY busy railroads.
There are no guns here. Lost them all in that boating mishap awhile back🤔. Also no need to move here it sucks. Of course unless you bring more guns, oh and don't forget the whiskey 🥰
I drove across Wyoming on I-80 once, back in 2002. That’s when I learned that if you hit a tumbleweed at 70 MPH in a 1975 Chrysler Cordoba, it just explodes into a puff of little sticks.
I'd totally move there. I'm sick of hearing about people's ''lifestyles'' or identities. I'm sure they mind their own business and expect you to mind yours in Wyoming. And I am damn sure I'll never be aggressively told to state my pronouns in Wyoming.
I imagine if you bring that all up in rural Wyoming, they won't even know there was a pronoun and identity discussion all over the USA. Now that would be awesome.
When I drove alone from Utah through Evanston to Grand Teton last summer, I absolutely loved it! For miles and I was the only car and no cell phone reception. A little scary for a single gal but mostly it was exciting, peaceful, fun and so beautiful! Talk about an introvert’s paradise! I fell in love with just that little part and I can’t wait to explore the rest. I’m a travel nurse now so I hope to work in Cheyenne or Cody and hopefully find a place I’d like to call home someday.
I’m a male from Louisiana that’s looking to move to Wyoming. I worked in Cheyenne at the refinery in 2019 but didn’t get to see much while I was there. I’m going back next month for a week or two and I also want to see the grand Tetons and the elk herds while I’m there.
You nailed it on the head really, lived here my whole life, and yea I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else, love the map too, very accurate. Great job man.
You should have mentioned the infamous winter of 1949 in Wyoming -- one of the worst in US history. Much of the state was burried in snow and inaccessible for months.
They did close the city. I'm highly aware there has been far worse snow storms, with much more snow. This is only a bad snow storm compared to recent years. Hasn't snowed like this since I was a child, really. I've been joking that it was a snow apocalypse, a snow-calypse if you will lmfao but this storm really wasnt anything compared to snowstorms the pioneers had, or the ones in the mountains for that matter.
Or the storm we had a few years back, first time the schools here actually closed since the storm of 49. That was interesting to say the least. I couldn’t leave the house, let alone the driveway.
"stuck in traffic" cattle drive, sheep herding, or animal crossing. Unless you live in Casper or Cheyenne than see original definition. Also the four seasons. Winter, late winter, road construction, hunting. In order these are: late winter, road construction, hunting (some say early winter), and winter.
I've been waiting for Unboxing Wyoming since day one I started following your channel! Thanks for a worthwile wait! I think Wyoming is an underrated state with hoax that it is not even real. I think it deserves the glamour other states receive.. and would like to give you props for doing a great job unboxing my favorite state, Nick! Great song too for Wyoming, as well with previous states.. I'm a fan! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes and no. Yes more people die from being killed by cattle than drive by shootings, even though more people are armed. I do think there are just as many churches as there are bars in most towns. But low crime, low taxes, high wages, decent schools make Wyoming a damn good place to live.
I'm also a Wyomingite, in Cheyenne! I cant disagree with most of what's said, I can add that with the gas and coal not doing so well the politicians have a bill and are looking into legalizing perhaps, but as you said it's really Republican here, but it's amazing they would consider it. The people here are typically nice and helpful. And you're dang right about that wind, it can get up to hurricane force 60+ mph, it never goes away but just decreases in the summer lmfao And you forgot to mention our hot springs, Thermopolis! P.s I worked at the landfill out of town, they had professional golf course netting to keep the trash where it belongs, the wind destroyed it in a few months, it was supposed to last years
Thanks for mentioning the hot springs! My family went there once because my grandmother was going at least once a week to the Worland center. It had an indoor pool fed by the mineral water that was supposed to be good for your health.
@@ShellymanStudios -5th grade science says winds are the result of uneven heating of the Earth's surface. Igloo-shaped homes can be made to be quite large, and very comfortable. I stayed in one once, and it was fine.
@@melissablakeman2659 I still wonder why people think Satellites skip Wyoming. LOL No problems in Douglas for us. But of course when I travel east they also think we don't have access to grocery stores.
When I was a teen, we called it radio free Wyoming because of the distance between stations, now it's no-bars (cell) Wyoming. The last time I drove through southern WY it was literally 45 minutes at 65 MPH before I saw another vehicle. Heaven help you if you break down out there! Being of a slightly liberal lean, I've learned to only discuss surface stuff in public places. To this day, if someone askes how far somewhere is I say how long it takes to get there, funny, I thought everyone did that.
Just when I was deciding to move to Montana or Wyoming...Nick sends out this unboxing. Watching this video with my Mappy Mug. Mappy helps in making great life decisions.
@@nicholas104 He has not done North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Alaska, Hawaii and Delaware. There are probably more that I forgot.
Great delivery of the facts. I love living here, but yeah, it is a little more rough and tumble, the shopping sucks, and you can get boring fast if you can’t make your own hobbies. That said, I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I grew up in Wyoming....I moved to Dallas several years ago. Talk about going from the frying pan to the fire....in more ways than one...I miss home so much!
Good Video. Moved to Southwest Wyoming in 2022. Love the peace and quiet commute to Salt lake for blue collar work. Cost of living is Great! Moved from CA and don't regret it a bit
I live in Northern Colorado just 55 minutes from Cheyenne and so I drive up to Wyoming fairly often with Prius with Colorado plates. Oh! That explains the dirty looks I get!
It’s interesting reading the comments about Wyoming and Wyomingites. I’ve been here 29 years and lived in the south east end of Wyoming. About to actually move honestly. Also, in the video at 20:50 Holland explains Wyoming the most realistic and respectful way.
FWIW I am a tech lead in a startup, and I love it here. I grew up in three major Canadian cities and it always felt like my options were shrinking and everything was getting more expensive while also getting worse. Cheyenne is a proper city with amenities, and I love that the broad public knows guns and speech, and respects the constitution whether or not the feds do.
This is hilarious! I live in upstate NY now but grew up in Northern Colorado. We felt the same way when we saw Wyoming license plates on I-25! Usually, some big pick up with 4 people in the front seat, all wearing cowboy hats, and a gun rack in the window.
The amount of work is questionable and what you are looking to do. If you’re okay with heavy labor jobs then you’ll be okay but the remaining options are slim to none.
I lived there 25 yrs in northeast wyoming. Its great and the people are the best but winters are long and cold and hunting and fishing are a lot of the fun. There is not much here but the best people I know and I lived in 8 states in my life.
The cold is what puts me off in my fave US states, actually all US states, I'm Australian so I don"t do cold that well, but I have summered a few times in the US and it is great to live without winter at all.
@@whatdafarkenhell7110 Farenheit not Celsius. But also you have 15-30 mph winds and -5 below sometimes in Wyoming. It's a great place to visit in the Spring, Summer and Fall though.
@@jonasabry9099 Because I don't use the word Farenheit often I can't spell it, so I use the termI freedom degrees instead. But churning miles in a car is definitely something I am used to, so I have covered most of the US and when I can hope on driving many more miles in the US.
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography/map job.Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Nice area to spend time exploring.
I was wondering where all the Cali plates were going. It's a quick drive to Iowa; I drove my U-Haul from a stop in Des Moines to Cheyenne in one day, when I moved here. Hope you're well, and back soon to recover from the PTSD you'll pick up in Chicago.
@@bittercreekscvs lmfao what does politics have to do with anything?? i never even remotely said anything about politics. why are YOU bringing that into this conversation? obsessed. 🙄
I grew up in Rock Springs. As an Asian, I had to pretend to be an Indian to avoid being harassed and bullied. In RS HS, we had the Chicanos, Cowboys, the Jocks and then few Heads. But the keggers were very memorable. We also camped and hunted a lot. Western Wyoming is very pretty and caters to outdoors enthusiasts (Big Piney, Pinedale, Dubois). The night skies are simply amazing there. But the wind will drive you crazy as I don't recall a day without wind.
I moved to Wyoming 10 years ago to get out of the rat race. I bought an old Texaco station and turned it into a car repair shop. Everything is here that I need but I have to drive for it. I have never been harassed by anyone, and we've never had a trick or treater or a missionary at our door. I live 4 miles from a large lake where I fish about once a week and I have no plans to move. I will buy a burial plot in this town of 650 someday. I Love Wyoming!!
Grew up in Wyoming. Great place to be from. But there's no opportunity there, and the state isn't doing anything to brace for the inevitable energy industry crash. You can't rely on coal and oil forever. Diversification is essential for the people of this state. Just look to West Virginia for what's in store if everything remains status quo.
Its basicly impossible for oil to crash it makes too much. We have people pushing in legislation for crypto and we have block chain research. No one talks about that tho because wyoming is a place to be left alone and federal government doesn't like crypto.
@@pleiadesnuts After close examination of some of the old episodes, I think it was a couple laramie bars, but certain similarities can't be overlooked.
I'm moving to green river area. Live cheap and spend my retirement years using the SW corner as a traveling hub. So it's not just cowboys and miners. It's also Hikers and campers. That is growing quickly in the country as people are searching for stunning areas to visit.
I had a friend that had always told that Wyoming didn't exist. For the longest time I didn't believe him. But, then after a lot of deep thought and soul searching, I asked myself, hey....umm....do I know anyone that's from Wyoming? It all hit me so fast all at once. Wyoming.....doesn't exist. I'm trying these days to enlighten people to the truth now, all of use truthers are.
I am an artist and have lived here for 41 years...I love the isolation and the wide open spaces...you can have your cities and your traffic. Give me my guns and my cowboy hat and my camper and my paints....yeehaw!
As an Englishman, I found this video really interesting! I’d love to visit the state and stay on a ranch for a few weeks and do some horse trekking. It seems like somewhere where you can completely disconnect from modern life. Thank you very much for making the effort to make this video!
I live in Southern Montana and love visiting Wyoming. The people are great and the men hold the door for you and call you Mam. It's get very cold, lots of wind and snow. It's better than being in NYC. Cody WY has great rodeos.
We live in Torrington Wyoming ( southeast WY ) the dirt Prarie Part where really nothing grows lol The Weather is extreme ! People are super friendly though 😉 You gotta love it or hate it Your songs at the end of your Videos are hilarious Dude 😂 You got one subscription more
I’m a Cheyenne resident, there are quite a few tech companies i the Cheyenne area. Microsoft has a data center here, and a second is planned to start construction. Echostar is located east of cheyenne, they employ close to 200 people, Walmart and Lowe’s have distribution centers, UPRR, Frontier refinery all employ lots of people. Wyoming gives lots of opportunities.
They complain about it, but, if it weren’t for Colorado, Wyoming’s economy would be about half as big as it is. There is a reason why they advertise Wyoming in the Denver area so much. People from Wyoming have no idea as to what it’s like to be invaded by people from another state where they actually move in to stay, not just to build a cabin, or stay in a hotel for a few nights. It is a nice place to visit though. Go if you can. It really exists, people are very nice and it’s beautiful. If they actually had an economy that would support more than four industries, I might live there.
@@ahuehuete4703 Cheyenne is great. But I don't want it to grow to big. The more Colorado and Texas plate I see, the more I worry. Visit, but that's all.
@@joanndegiorgio647 Since I've been alive, people in Colorado have always said the same thing about Texans and started saying that about Californians about 25 years ago. In reality, people are moving here from everywhere. I hope Wyoming can maintain what it has, but there are several things that will probably kill it. Tourism dollars are a gift and a curse. People show up, spend their money and they leave at first because their jobs are somewhere else. However, they realize how nice it is and then they want to stay. Then they and the business leaders in your community figure out how to make that possible, and they start moving in. The only way to get away from it is to move somewhere nobody wants to live, and there's a reason nobody wants to live in those places.
@@joanndegiorgio647 I don't think you have much to worry about in Cheyenne, or Laramie. FWIW, I also see plenty of Cowboy plates in Fort Collins, especially on weekends, I'm sure the merchants don't mind.

I moved to Naples, FL back in 2016. I came here from Ohio and now I'm watching videos and daydreaming about moving to Wyoming 😂.
I love it down here in Florida but it's getting to crowded.
@@speedyd8150, I also live in Florida, right now it’s getting too crowded, I agree with you. We are actually thinking about moving to Georgia..
Hi Nick. Great video as always. Being a Wyoming gal, I find it funny how we get such a bad rap, but at least we have clean air! Love ya'🤗👍✌️
I can’t wait to see Wyoming ... the scenery is breath taking ...
Love ya too! ❤️
It’s incredible I moved here from NJ. I believe living here has made me a better person and has shaped me as a person a lot. When there is certain environmental challenges and not everything is convenient it makes life a little more interesting and rewarding. Also when people say there’s no jobs or nothing to do they’re full of crap. I have a lot more opportunities here to do what I enjoy and I have more of a future here as young person than I would in a state like NJ where the average cost of living is exponentially higher. I also enjoy more freedom here than I would in any other place I’ve lived I totally understand the wariness of out of staters but people here are generally kind and quick to “let you in” and be supportive if you show interest in actually living the lifestyle.
Wyoming has LOTS of trains. From Cheyenne to Evanston is the mainline of the Union Pacific. South of Gillette in the Powder River Basin is the Coal Line. Both are VERY busy railroads.
Fun!
@@NickJohnson Some of the trains are literally miles long.
My husband was hired by CNW and now works for the UPRR hauling coal out of the powder river basin.
@@NickJohnson did they pass the second amendment preservation act
There are no guns here. Lost them all in that boating mishap awhile back🤔. Also no need to move here it sucks. Of course unless you bring more guns, oh and don't forget the whiskey 🥰
But too much tobacco
I drove across Wyoming on I-80 once, back in 2002. That’s when I learned that if you hit a tumbleweed at 70 MPH in a 1975 Chrysler Cordoba, it just explodes into a puff of little sticks.
Jason! How did I miss this comment???
@@NickJohnson the bigger question is how’d you find it two years later, among 1300 other comments? 😄
I'd totally move there. I'm sick of hearing about people's ''lifestyles'' or identities. I'm sure they mind their own business and expect you to mind yours in Wyoming. And I am damn sure I'll never be aggressively told to state my pronouns in Wyoming.
I imagine if you bring that all up in rural Wyoming, they won't even know there was a pronoun and identity discussion all over the USA. Now that would be awesome.
okay girl calm down.
Show me on the doll where people different than you, hurt you.
Right? Sounds like a dream minus not having much to do lol.
@@mikeygee7 Oh, we know about it. We just don't care.
When I drove alone from Utah through Evanston to Grand Teton last summer, I absolutely loved it! For miles and I was the only car and no cell phone reception. A little scary for a single gal but mostly it was exciting, peaceful, fun and so beautiful! Talk about an introvert’s paradise! I fell in love with just that little part and I can’t wait to explore the rest. I’m a travel nurse now so I hope to work in Cheyenne or Cody and hopefully find a place I’d like to call home someday.
I’m a male from Louisiana that’s looking to move to Wyoming. I worked in Cheyenne at the refinery in 2019 but didn’t get to see much while I was there. I’m going back next month for a week or two and I also want to see the grand Tetons and the elk herds while I’m there.
This was excellent, Nick. I've lived in Wyoming off and on for most of my life, and I learned more from this video than from actually being here.
Dude, how did you pay so little attention? I guess the fish can't tell you what water is.
I broke down in Wyoming once. It was kind of the best place for it to happen. Everyone was really kind.
You nailed it on the head really, lived here my whole life, and yea I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else, love the map too, very accurate. Great job man.
Hey ok cool!
You should have mentioned the infamous winter of 1949 in Wyoming -- one of the worst in US history. Much of the state was burried in snow and inaccessible for months.
Almost happened against last week! 😄😂 had several feet of snow and Cheyenne closed for a couple days.
@@breyjames5025 perhaps you jest. if not brush up on your history and you’ll see that 49 was just a little bit more significant than a few feet
They did close the city. I'm highly aware there has been far worse snow storms, with much more snow. This is only a bad snow storm compared to recent years. Hasn't snowed like this since I was a child, really. I've been joking that it was a snow apocalypse, a snow-calypse if you will lmfao but this storm really wasnt anything compared to snowstorms the pioneers had, or the ones in the mountains for that matter.
Or the storm we had a few years back, first time the schools here actually closed since the storm of 49. That was interesting to say the least. I couldn’t leave the house, let alone the driveway.
@@wyblackwolf schools closed in Cheyenne for this one, but only for a few days.
Totally underrated and very beautiful state. Bet there's lots of tourism jobs at Yellowstone and the grand Teton.
A lot of Wyomingites absolutely get livid online whenever we see tourists mess with Mother Nature, animals, tourist sites, etc.
Fyi: "on my way to a meeting" is wyoming for _heading to the bathroom._
O, hahahaha
"stuck in traffic" cattle drive, sheep herding, or animal crossing. Unless you live in Casper or Cheyenne than see original definition. Also the four seasons. Winter, late winter, road construction, hunting. In order these are: late winter, road construction, hunting (some say early winter), and winter.
I was like, there's no one in your town. Who are you meeting with?
LOL.😆😁
I've been waiting for Unboxing Wyoming since day one I started following your channel! Thanks for a worthwile wait! I think Wyoming is an underrated state with hoax that it is not even real. I think it deserves the glamour other states receive.. and would like to give you props for doing a great job unboxing my favorite state, Nick! Great song too for Wyoming, as well with previous states.. I'm a fan! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yay cool glad you liked it!!
Do u live here? Why do you like it
the animations 😂, man you have me following the entire geographical series and it's actually educational so keep it up nick ✊🏻😅
When Wyoming comes to mind, I think of the wild wild west!
Yes and no. Yes more people die from being killed by cattle than drive by shootings, even though more people are armed. I do think there are just as many churches as there are bars in most towns. But low crime, low taxes, high wages, decent schools make Wyoming a damn good place to live.
Pretty much yea. Funny think I wish he would have mentioned, Texas tried to sue us over the whole cowboy state thing, but we won that case
@@loriwyoming835 FWIW the wild west wasn't exactly a murder fest either.
Wyoming makes me think of cowboys & the Dakotas ! Don’t know why 😁
@@discopuma really wasn't like that.
I'm also a Wyomingite, in Cheyenne! I cant disagree with most of what's said, I can add that with the gas and coal not doing so well the politicians have a bill and are looking into legalizing perhaps, but as you said it's really Republican here, but it's amazing they would consider it. The people here are typically nice and helpful. And you're dang right about that wind, it can get up to hurricane force 60+ mph, it never goes away but just decreases in the summer lmfao
And you forgot to mention our hot springs, Thermopolis!
P.s I worked at the landfill out of town, they had professional golf course netting to keep the trash where it belongs, the wind destroyed it in a few months, it was supposed to last years
WY would be a good place to build those igloo-shaped houses, that let the winds pass over them. Not a bad idea.
The wind is my biggest enemy. I noticed the winds are getting bad here too in CT.
Thanks for mentioning the hot springs! My family went there once because my grandmother was going at least once a week to the Worland center. It had an indoor pool fed by the mineral water that was supposed to be good for your health.
@@ShellymanStudios -5th grade science says winds are the result of uneven heating of the Earth's surface. Igloo-shaped homes can be made to be quite large, and very comfortable. I stayed in one once, and it was fine.
@@barbaraness4507 my uncle and aunt went there for their honeymoon 😄
It almost looks like the mountains are levitating on the clouds.
Shaggy are you still working at the methlab????????
If I were to move to this beautiful state, I would need to be assured quality internet so I won't miss any episodes of Nick Johnson.
Glenn aww I would just send them to you in a text!
Tirrible WiFi
Worst wifi and phone service I've ever experienced
Sitting in a Wyoming town population 400 and using the internet as we speak lol people think we live in the ice ages here 😂
@@melissablakeman2659 I still wonder why people think Satellites skip Wyoming. LOL No problems in Douglas for us. But of course when I travel east they also think we don't have access to grocery stores.
When I was a teen, we called it radio free Wyoming because of the distance between stations, now it's no-bars (cell) Wyoming. The last time I drove through southern WY it was literally 45 minutes at 65 MPH before I saw another vehicle. Heaven help you if you break down out there! Being of a slightly liberal lean, I've learned to only discuss surface stuff in public places. To this day, if someone askes how far somewhere is I say how long it takes to get there, funny, I thought everyone did that.
Nick, I just saw this video and really enjoyed it. Lots of really funny stuff too. Thanks.
I always pause on the maps and look at everything - always cracks me up (Dirt.....Nothing.....Empty Wasteland)
Hey David!
Maps? Wyoming is not just a place, it's a feeling.
Especially for Jackson hole....... that got me to laugh way harder than It should have
Now that I'm on lunch break, I get to watch some Nick Johnson
Yes! My daily walk entertainment
Just when I was deciding to move to Montana or Wyoming...Nick sends out this unboxing. Watching this video with my Mappy Mug. Mappy helps in making great life decisions.
You have a MUG??
I just moved here two years ago and I love Wyoming rocks great place to live lots of things to do and I love it here
We're almost done I think. It's fun seeing the US States unboxed! Didn't you say you were doing Cities next? Whatever you do, I can't wait!
Wait has he done Kansas yet?
@@nicholas104 Im not sure, I think maybe?
@@nicholas104 He has not done North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Alaska, Hawaii and Delaware. There are probably more that I forgot.
I forgot Utah, missisipi and alabama.
@@frederikjrgensen252 and west virginia
Love your videos about the different staes Nick. Keeps me informed everytime i visit the USA. Keep unboxing them Nick
Great delivery of the facts. I love living here, but yeah, it is a little more rough and tumble, the shopping sucks, and you can get boring fast if you can’t make your own hobbies. That said, I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I grew up in Wyoming....I moved to Dallas several years ago. Talk about going from the frying pan to the fire....in more ways than one...I miss home so much!
Still waitin' for Missouri and Arkansas.
Good Video. Moved to Southwest Wyoming in 2022. Love the peace and quiet commute to Salt lake for blue collar work. Cost of living is Great! Moved from CA and don't regret it a bit
I live in Northern Colorado just 55 minutes from Cheyenne and so I drive up to Wyoming fairly often with Prius with Colorado plates. Oh! That explains the dirty looks I get!
No it's the Colorado tags
Man, I enjoy your videos so much. Greetings from my island, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
The older i get...the more places like Wyoming appeal to me. I fish, hunt, hike and love the outdoors.
It’s interesting reading the comments about Wyoming and Wyomingites. I’ve been here 29 years and lived in the south east end of Wyoming. About to actually move honestly. Also, in the video at 20:50 Holland explains Wyoming the most realistic and respectful way.
FWIW I am a tech lead in a startup, and I love it here. I grew up in three major Canadian cities and it always felt like my options were shrinking and everything was getting more expensive while also getting worse. Cheyenne is a proper city with amenities, and I love that the broad public knows guns and speech, and respects the constitution whether or not the feds do.
This is hilarious! I live in upstate NY now but grew up in Northern Colorado. We felt the same way when we saw Wyoming license plates on I-25! Usually, some big pick up with 4 people in the front seat, all wearing cowboy hats, and a gun rack in the window.
I’m a city person, but scenes of Wyoming’s landscapes make me want to get a vacation home end enjoy the quiet and natural beauty.
This state looks like the dream of every wild west fan from Europe!
As a wild west fan from Europe, I agree!
I’ll be sad when all the unboxing vids are done ! So good. Best info on the Tube for states
We still have like 14 left. Plus all the old ones!
Beautiful state, no doubt. Questionable about jobs tho
There is a lot of work here.
The amount of work is questionable and what you are looking to do. If you’re okay with heavy labor jobs then you’ll be okay but the remaining options are slim to none.
@@ShmeekaDJ with all the cold and freedom it wouldn't be that bad
I've got my remote work here, and I can finally have all the guns I can afford.
I lived there 25 yrs in northeast wyoming. Its great and the people are the best but winters are long and cold and hunting and fishing are a lot of the fun. There is not much here but the best people I know and I lived in 8 states in my life.
Pls do an Unboxing Kansas soon
As a Wyomingite, I would like to visit KS; I would love to see that video. :+ )
Casper Wyoming is such a beautiful little city. Winters are crazy though. 🥶🥶🥶🥶
The cold is what puts me off in my fave US states, actually all US states, I'm Australian so I don"t do cold that well, but I have summered a few times in the US and it is great to live without winter at all.
@@whatdafarkenhell7110 I'm okay as long as it's 20 degrees F.
@@jonasabry9099 I was thinking that sounds OK, then a shiver ran down my spine as I read freedom degrees.
@@whatdafarkenhell7110 Farenheit not Celsius. But also you have 15-30 mph winds and -5 below sometimes in Wyoming. It's a great place to visit in the Spring, Summer and Fall though.
@@jonasabry9099 Because I don't use the word Farenheit often I can't spell it, so I use the termI freedom degrees instead. But churning miles in a car is definitely something I am used to, so I have covered most of the US and when I can hope on driving many more miles in the US.
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography/map job.Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Nice area to spend time exploring.
Wyoming people are very nice, and polite. I was there 2 days ago. Driving from CA to Chicago I'm currently in Iowa.. 4.30 hours left to go. Yay ☹️
HANG UP AND DRIVE!
I was wondering where all the Cali plates were going. It's a quick drive to Iowa; I drove my U-Haul from a stop in Des Moines to Cheyenne in one day, when I moved here.
Hope you're well, and back soon to recover from the PTSD you'll pick up in Chicago.
moving to wyoming from south carolina in a few months and i absolutely can’t wait!!
Wow whatta change!!
Don't bring along any liberal politics with you.
@@bittercreekscvs lmfao what does politics have to do with anything?? i never even remotely said anything about politics. why are YOU bringing that into this conversation? obsessed. 🙄
I grew up in Rock Springs. As an Asian, I had to pretend to be an Indian to avoid being harassed and bullied. In RS HS, we had the Chicanos, Cowboys, the Jocks and then few Heads. But the keggers were very memorable. We also camped and hunted a lot. Western Wyoming is very pretty and caters to outdoors enthusiasts (Big Piney, Pinedale, Dubois). The night skies are simply amazing there. But the wind will drive you crazy as I don't recall a day without wind.
I moved to Wyoming 10 years ago to get out of the rat race. I bought an old Texaco station and turned it into a car repair shop. Everything is here that I need but I have to drive for it. I have never been harassed by anyone, and we've never had a trick or treater or a missionary at our door. I live 4 miles from a large lake where I fish about once a week and I have no plans to move. I will buy a burial plot in this town of 650 someday. I Love Wyoming!!
Grew up in Wyoming. Great place to be from. But there's no opportunity there, and the state isn't doing anything to brace for the inevitable energy industry crash. You can't rely on coal and oil forever. Diversification is essential for the people of this state. Just look to West Virginia for what's in store if everything remains status quo.
Its basicly impossible for oil to crash it makes too much. We have people pushing in legislation for crypto and we have block chain research. No one talks about that tho because wyoming is a place to be left alone and federal government doesn't like crypto.
Thank you I learn a lot from your documentaries.
I can tell ❤️
Laramie is the brand name of the cigarettes in "the simpsons"
lore has it writers spent some time and drew some inspiration from a bar here
@@pleiadesnuts After close examination of some of the old episodes, I think it was a couple laramie bars, but certain similarities can't be overlooked.
I'm moving to Cheyenne next month from Florida. Work transfer and access to my son in Colorado. Looking forward to exploring...
Dude, your videos are fkn great. 👍🏻
I'm moving to green river area. Live cheap and spend my retirement years using the SW corner as a traveling hub. So it's not just cowboys and miners. It's also Hikers and campers. That is growing quickly in the country as people are searching for stunning areas to visit.
I was in a bad mood until I watched ur intro 🤣
Cool
Im in Cheyenne and this dudes description of everything and subtle sarcasm is hilarious ahaha... hes not wrong lol
Wish I could visit one day! Would move out from London UK to this place big time
Such an informative channel, I originally wanted to see what North Dakota was about. Then found myself watching your Montana video, now this. Lol
I had a friend that had always told that Wyoming didn't exist. For the longest time I didn't believe him.
But, then after a lot of deep thought and soul searching, I asked myself, hey....umm....do I know anyone that's from Wyoming?
It all hit me so fast all at once. Wyoming.....doesn't exist.
I'm trying these days to enlighten people to the truth now, all of use truthers are.
I've never been there
😂😂😂it definitely doesn’t exist
I say it exists cause I'm there/here now 😂
I am an artist and have lived here for 41 years...I love the isolation and the wide open spaces...you can have your cities and your traffic. Give me my guns and my cowboy hat and my camper and my paints....yeehaw!
-.- my home is that isolated, love it
Rodeo "EVERY NIGHT" 😆 🤣 😂 😹
As an Englishman, I found this video really interesting! I’d love to visit the state and stay on a ranch for a few weeks and do some horse trekking. It seems like somewhere where you can completely disconnect from modern life. Thank you very much for making the effort to make this video!
Ok!
very information and fun! thank you for an awesome vid
I was born, raised, and still currently live in Wyoming and this video is one of the most accurate I have finally come across.
What part? I’m in Riverton
I live in Southern Montana and love visiting Wyoming. The people are great and the men hold the door for you and call you Mam. It's get very cold, lots of wind and snow. It's better than being in NYC. Cody WY has great rodeos.
We live in Torrington Wyoming ( southeast WY ) the dirt Prarie Part where really nothing grows lol
The Weather is extreme ! People are super friendly though 😉 You gotta love it or hate it
Your songs at the end of your Videos are hilarious Dude 😂 You got one subscription more
Hi Sandra! ❤️❤️
@@NickJohnson Hey
@Claudio Coppola hahaha 😂
Well I'm from Germany living in WY and I'm mostly rude ...so it's balanced pretty good 🤣

Hey nick! Great video as always! I loved the costume!
12:25 where that gun initially points to...🤣🤣🤣
In the 70s it was the rage to drive to Evanston for the 6% beer kegs,and illegal fireworks. Yeehaaws ! Drive up liquor store.
Born and raised in California and moved to Wyoming back in 2019 and I never looked back
GREETINGS TO YOU FROM EASTERN EUROPE UKRAINE .KIEV. YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE. I WANT TO LIVE IN WYOMING. VICTOR IS 48 YEARS OLD.
Your “you wouldn’t fit in here” list had me rolling. 😂😂
I’m a Cheyenne resident, there are quite a few tech companies i the Cheyenne area. Microsoft has a data center here, and a second is planned to start construction. Echostar is located east of cheyenne, they employ close to 200 people, Walmart and Lowe’s have distribution centers, UPRR, Frontier refinery all employ lots of people. Wyoming gives lots of opportunities.
It isn't the massive stuff you would hear about in the papers. It's an issue of comparison when scale is so different.
Excellent video Nick. Another state on my bucket list to visit. Thanks a lot for the state tour!
Ok David let me know how you like it!
I love Wyoming. Funny video, but this place is one one the best kept secrets in America. If I wasn’t from sc I would want to be from Wyoming.
Nick, as an NC resident, you should know both Wrangler and Lee jeans are Kontoor Brands which are headquartered in -- Greensboro, NC. !
They complain about it, but, if it weren’t for Colorado, Wyoming’s economy would be about half as big as it is. There is a reason why they advertise Wyoming in the Denver area so much. People from Wyoming have no idea as to what it’s like to be invaded by people from another state where they actually move in to stay, not just to build a cabin, or stay in a hotel for a few nights. It is a nice place to visit though. Go if you can. It really exists, people are very nice and it’s beautiful. If they actually had an economy that would support more than four industries, I might live there.
There's a reason most live in SE Wyoming: It's close to Denver and even closer to Fort Collins.
@@ahuehuete4703 Cheyenne is great. But I don't want it to grow to big. The more Colorado and Texas plate I see, the more I worry. Visit, but that's all.
@@joanndegiorgio647 Since I've been alive, people in Colorado have always said the same thing about Texans and started saying that about Californians about 25 years ago. In reality, people are moving here from everywhere. I hope Wyoming can maintain what it has, but there are several things that will probably kill it. Tourism dollars are a gift and a curse. People show up, spend their money and they leave at first because their jobs are somewhere else. However, they realize how nice it is and then they want to stay. Then they and the business leaders in your community figure out how to make that possible, and they start moving in. The only way to get away from it is to move somewhere nobody wants to live, and there's a reason nobody wants to live in those places.
@@joanndegiorgio647 I don't think you have much to worry about in Cheyenne, or Laramie. FWIW, I also see plenty of Cowboy plates in Fort Collins, especially on weekends, I'm sure the merchants don't mind.
Wyoming is my town I am from there My family loves Wyoming that is where I am from that is where my family all started from the beginning
