If a large crisis happens (like rn for example) living far from civilization will mean supplies will be slow to reach you so unless your self sufficient then its a no go.
Wow, it sure has changed. Grew up in YK, left in 74,, went back and worked summers 75 and 76. Took our kids there in 2001. Certainly not the place I remember except for the cold crispness.
The guy at 3.00 slipping crossing the road 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lovely video looks amazing up there. Have been looking into moving up for work. (electrician)
Thank you for the tour! I put it on 1/2 speed and I could really look around. It was great that you spent so much time driving around "old" YK. I sure miss living there. Thx again! 1969-1980
You have a serious issue if you call this beautiful place 😂😂😂, not sure have you been in Finland, I' be been in Scandinavia (including Finland) and this depressed and isolated place as well. People who spend more that year in Yellowknife has serious issues, might be due arsenic or all that sewage stinks in Niven South area.
Fortunately Yellowknife is close enough to the equator that the citizens enjoy a subtropical climate! ^This snow of course is a rare sight, only occuring once a century or so, give or take 35 times a year......
Russia has the biggest northern cities, they have cities with hundreds of thousands of people in the subarctic. Check out Yakutsk which is the coldest city in the world during winter, it drops to minus -50-60
Lived there in the early 80's. Working at the YK Centre with Roy Williams and the gang at YK Electronics. The sound of the tires on the snow... you don't get that in the south very often. Traction? Not much snow there and when it's that cold, it's pretty sticky. Easy to get around. Certainly has grown up a lot from my days. I lived the apt building opposite cover to the YK Centre.... beside what was the Legion at the time. Not sure what's there now.
I was at a red light in Toronto and saw one of those polar bear license plates on the car ahead of me. I had never seen one before and thought it was cool and I wanted a picture of it. So I took out my phone and snapped a picture not realizing the bloody flash was still on. The dude ahead of me saw and gave me a thumbs up but I was so embarrassed.
I lived there and it's truly grown. Most is unrecognizable. WAY more fast food joints. Where the hell is Red Apple Restaurant, The Right Spot, The Range, CJCD, Luigi's Pizza, etc??
@@jeffreypeterson3238 the Gold Range was on the left @5:17 :) I grew up there in the 70's a lot had changed when I took a trip back in 2013. I can hardly wait to make another trip one of these years.
Interesting video. I thought the winter weather would be much more severe :-) I've seen this much snow in Dallas, Texas (not every year, but sometimes). Where are the dog sleds? Thanks for the video. It's nice for a vicarious visit.
Ive lived in yellowknife my whole life haha, it actually doesn't snow a lot here because it is super dry, however the temperatures can drop super low... definetly not texas weather, the warmest day this past week was -32 (-44 with the windchill) and it went all the way down to -49 and its not even the coldest months yet!
oh ya because watching a video on youtube is totally like being there. what do you mean severe? its not like you can see the snow. you expect 24/7 raging snow storms or something?
I preferred driving out on the ice road or out off the city to vee lake Less light pollution there There is also a live camera that you can check on before you drive out to see if it is worth it I saw my first good ones in the end of September and beginning of November but they're there through all winter
How do residents cope with temperatures below 30 degrees must be a challenge but then again If you visited my part of Australia you would ask the same question about us having to cope with temperatures of 45+ degrees Celsius, Being an Aurora chaser Yellowknife would still be a great place to visit In the winter I've heard it's one of the best spots In the world to chase the Aurora.
Only searched about the place because of the valley of headless men and wanted to know more about the place. Definitely an area that hasn't been that deeply searched
I am only looking because I saw it's gonna be down around -30 this weekend. I must say, that I am impressed. I thought I was in for an igloo or two, a tepee and a few log cabins! So do you have triple glazing, or do you use secondary double glazing - or both? BTW, I noticed the guy nearly falling on his ass. Nice save. Great video - you should do some more!
yeah i found that interesting after living in cities around 30k with smaller buildings.. they must be office centres for large companies in industry in the surrounding areas
I've been here and I really traveled around the world, but this place is the most depressed, isolated, with extreme cold with barley day light, during short summer (usually June-mid September) you have daylight night, especially in June, too many drunk locals on the streets, especially downtown. Electricity and heating are so expensive and even grocery comparing to some provinces. Too many polluted lakes with arsenic. A "nicer" area in YK with the houses worth over million CAD sitting on sewage so in April and May when the snow start to melt the sewage stinks kilometers away from that area for a couple of months. I spent couple of months working on some project 2017 and still don't get it how people can live in that isolated town called "City of Yellowknife". The only spectacular sign is aurora borealis, but you can find that in a way better other places.

A few of them are apartments and then there are a lot that are offices for the territorial and federal government. There is one building that has been vacant for a long time.
@@johonanandrewgomes7593 Yes, but only the Russians would build a major city with a climate like that. Yellowknife has a population of about 20K and it's the biggest town north of Edmonton, which is at the same latitude as Manchester, UK. Moscow is at the latitude of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Yellowknife is at the same latitude as Southern Norway- but has a much colder climate than any town outside Siberia.
@@anonUK Only Canadians would build a major city such as Winnipeg/Edmonton in a climate like that? Moscow is not even that cold, even Montreal is colder
We have lots of rough roads and harsh conditions. it is best to have a good strong reliable vehicle. a lot of people like to do different activities like ice fishing camping and hunting, Then pulling around their trailers and boats in the summer. It only takes 10 minutes to be in the wilderness.

3:08 great corrective motion lol
Nice. A really different downtown as compared to say Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver. Less populated probably = less pollution + better quality air 🙌🏾
Far less populated. Only about 20k people
lol ya nice comparison a small city of 20k vs massive metropolis' of over 8 million
Thanks for the vid. I am fascinated with these far northern cities, would love to visit someday. So remote and beautiful landscapes up there.
Russia has the biggest northern cities, they have cities with hundreds of thousands of people in the subarctic. Check out Yakutsk which is the coldest city in the world during winter, it drops to minus -50-60

Beautiful place, have been to there in the year of 2010
When you ask "how is it outside" and the only 2 answers you ever get in that part of the world are "survivable or stay home"
When is the best time to see the aurora lights? Can I just see them from a hotel in dt or do I need to move further outside downtown? Good video
I preferred driving out on the ice road or out off the city to vee lake
Less light pollution there
There is also a live camera that you can check on before you drive out to see if it is worth it

What? Idon’t see anything.
Take a look at the person crossing the street (left to right).

How do they prevent the roads from getting too slippery? Do they use salt or sand?
Salt, and everyone has winter tires.
both +rock

HAHAH nice save by the guy slipping on the ice from 3:08-3:10
Wow impressive
With so much open space why are there hardly any trees in town?
not the guy almost slipping and falling on his ass lmao!
Does it cost more to buy food since the supplies must be flown in?
Grocery stores usually do cost a lot more than they would in bigger town up here

Looks a lot like Rochester
Never knew the traffic lights were inverted in Canada 🤔
