Which part of Wyoming do you live in my wife lived in Buffalo for 4 years we recently visited two summers ago and I love it we are both from North Carolina originally and that's where we live now

A couple of the big Pros that you didn't cover, and are a couple of key factors in my love for Wyoming, are the political culture and gun culture in Wyoming. Although I sometimes feel Wyoming is not nearly as conservative as I would like or libertarian in some aspects, it is still the most conservative state in the country. Because of that strong conservative libertarian streak, it is not surprising that Wyoming has the most Pro 2nd Amendment gun laws within the country. A person can open carry or concealed carry here with no permit. The legislature passed a law prohibiting any state or local law enforcement and a t from enforcing any unconstitutional gun laws. In fact they made it the duty of those same Law Enforcement Officers to arrest Federal officials trying to enforce unconstitutional gun laws. How awesome is that?

And we don't have vehicle inspections here , and they don't take state tax out of your paycheck . ( No state tax ) . Plus , Wyoming is very firearm friendly .

If you want to keep the place as you like it maybe you should not tell everyone on KZread how great it is. That happened in Oregon and look at it now it's just an extension of California and lots of California folks with California ideas.

Dave Jewell Sounds good.

My wife and I are California expats living in Wyoming. We moved here 15 years ago, should have moved here sooner. You missed one benefit: no rush hour. I grew up in So. Cal. and the traffic drove me crazy. Also, Democrats/liberals/progressives can still be good friends with Republicans/conservatives/traditionalists because the polarisation of society with divisive identity politics has not happened. I think Wyoming is a well governed state with a relatively efficient and effective state government. A quick trip to the WYDOT office beats a long line at the DMV. I sometimes write my senators/congress person and I get a personal response rather than a pre-formulated response. Outsiders like me are welcomed heartily. Buy your winter clothes at L.L. Bean and you will be a lot more comfortable in the winter.

I dont believe that just anyone can like wyoming. It takes a certain kind of person to choose to live there because of the intense wind and lengthy harsh winters. I personally like winter and strong winds. Most people understandably dont. The distance between major towns are generally over 100 miles apart. Being stranded from your car breaking down or having a flat in the winter at 20 below zero can cause enough anxiety for one person, if nobody comes along your life is at risk. Plan trips accordingly. While there is beautiful land to hike and explore, you are probably many miles if not a hundred from a hospital if you were to get bit by a rattle snake. Which are very common here. If you dont have anti venom with you.. well youll be lucky to survive. Plan hikes accordingly. Aggressive wolves and wolf packs are now a big problem in wyoming thanks to the reintroduction of bloodthirsty wolves by the federal government. Dont camp in the wide open without a gun..or 2.

Being 100 miles from any major city sounds like a MAJOR plus to me, not a con! Hoping to move to WY sometime over the next few years.

I am from Brazil. When I was studying at University of Michigan I drove to Yellowstone. I stopped by Cody to have a beer. Wyoming is one of the most beautiful places of U.S.

Always wanted to visit Wyoming, I recently Said I wanted to move their without question, I've had it with Oregon, and the bs that is here, Wyoming is Quiet, Beautiful, and Republican, that's what I like!!

You forgot to mention that there's no state income taxes and the state sales tax is only 4% if I remember correctly.

Cons== Few people to date.

Thank you Lauren you have been a big help. Stay warm and Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for doing this video. It helped me decide to move to Wyoming!

Everyone knows that if God owned heaven and Wyoming, he would rent heaven and live in Wyoming.

I agree. It is a nice place to live a full healthy life.

I grew up around Glenrock and Casper Wyoming, I now live in Missouri. The winters are cold and the wind is something else. Grab a good coat and winter gear. Have a good car because you are going to need it. There are just over half a million people living there. A big city is considered to be around 60 thousand. I love it, once it gets in your blood it stays there!!

We want to move to Wyoming trying to research as much as possible this video was very helpful thank you so much

Lauren is a delight. I spent 17 months working all over the great state of Wyoming and some of the things that frustrated me were little or no cell phone/WIFI service. Union Telephone has been going through more changes including family issues and it has greatly affected their service. The wind howls constantly often in excess of 50 mph and makes it difficult to do even simple things like open/close your car door. The suicide rate in Wyoming is off the chart. While I was there four people that I was acquainted with took their lives. Black ice, during the Fall and Spring the blowing snow melts on the roads and then freezes when the temperature drops in the afternoon. It can take up to two hours for help to arrive even if you have cell phone service. Drugs and alcohol abuse are out of control and there is very little law enforcement. Local folks (Baptists and Mormons) love to gossip and tell you how to live your life. Antelope are everywhere. I was driving past the planetarium in Casper and an oncoming vehicle swerved to miss an antelope and hit me head on at 30mph. She was talking on her phone btw. If you drive a Honda/Toyota, speak with any kind of accent, wear a yamaka, have obvious tattoos/piercings, ride a Harley, have Colorado license plates (greenies), fish with worms, listen to hip hop/rap, eat vegan, sort recyclables, take a local person to lunch, or wear Levi jeans instead of Wrangler you will experience some sort of prejudice. Hope this helps.

I'm extremely shocked to hear about the high suicide rate. For having the highest rate in the nation, I would have expected to see PSAs about depression and mental health. I did not, however, there are quite a few PSAs about meth use. I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience. We used Verizon and never had an issue. The winters are definitely rough. Very long and extremely windy. However, I disagree with your last statement about prejudice. I don't doubt your experience, but in 7 years, I never received any prejudice for our natural lifestyle, such as eating organic, eating mostly vegan foods, recycling, composting, giving birth at home, cloth diapering, nor for religious views. My husband worked with many Mormons and we were never once scolded or pressured to change our views. Again, I'm sorry your experience was quite negative and made it difficult (if not impossible) to enjoy the beauty. Based on your experience, I don't blame you for hating the state.

I found out that there one con about the state of Wyoming is the population is declining between 2010 and 2020. Other states also have the population declined are: Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, and West Virginia between 2010 and 2020.

How do you beat the winter blues? I love the winter weather during the holidays and hunting season but from February til April it’s hard to shake the blues.

Yes, I plan to visit. Friends who moved there several years ago really love Wyoming. I will definitely plan for the summer since I will probably be on a motorcycle. Take care...

California is a vacation state but not a good place to live if you're poor.

I'd love to visit or eventually move when I'm older. I've lived both in big cities n small country towns. Always felt home in the country.

I'm headed up to Cheyenne on the 18th of this month to have a look around and see if it's a place I'd like to live. I have problems with my lungs and I've read Cheyenne has the cleanest air in the US. really looking forward to it.

I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said!! But a few things you left out were: Sales tax is at 5%. Most states are 7 1/2 and up to 12 1/2%. Wyoming also doesn't have any State tax! The property taxes are a lot lower then most states and Gasoline and groceries are a lot less then most states are as well! The crime rate where I live is very very low! The cold winters has it's advantages. It's too cold to be standing on a street corner and try to sell drugs!! :) As you can see, I ride a motorcycle and Wyoming , to me, is the best place to ride ever! It's also closer to Sturgis! :) OH! Don't forget the clean air!! When it rains, it smells SOOO good!! I never just stood in one place for 5 minutes just to breath and enjoy the air before until I moved here! In big cities when it rains it's just muggy and smells like rotten eggs!! You have a woman who commented below that 100 miles away to a shopping mall was too far away, well, where I live I'm 75 miles away from 2 big cities. However, where I used to live in AZ. I was 2 1/2 hours away from ANYTHING! Now that is Isolated!! I've been here 6 1/2 years and it gets better every year!! Hope you continue to feel the same way!

Alex Sparks There's other places that are nice besides Jackson hole! Not that it's not nice but a lot of Rich, yes, Rich liberals have been taking over and trying to make it like Cal"lib"fornia!! Last year I helped put glass in this giant hydroponic building that was originally designed by Norway or Finland, can't remember which, and some from the original project came to Jackson to oversee the construction of this new one. It is designed to collect water not only from the rain and snow but just moisture over all and then use all of that to water the plants growing inside so they wouldn't need to use the city underground water! Well guess what?? They (the city) decided that that wasn't going to happen! After it was 80% done the "liberal" city counsel decided to side with the Obama administration that the water coming from the sky belongs to the government and so we're not allowed to collect it!! And that goes for the farmers big time as well!! Montana, Oklahoma and here in Wyoming has had a few arrests and legal actions taken against said farmers but all 3 states have been fighting it for some time! Now that Obama is gone maybe that will turn around, but in any case, my advice is to really take a long hard look at that area before you jump on in! alpine is only 35 miles from there and are not so "stringent" from what I'm aware of! Just trying to help! Keep up with the welding! That's a really good field to be in and can be very hi demanding!! Good luck sir!!!

I left FL after 12 years to move to WY. Been here over 5 years now and like it out here.

Wyoming is fantastic! I'm from NC and the wide open spaces, beautiful scenery, and wildlife are incredible. I hate to go home after spending a week or so in your state.

Why is it people have this issue with SHOPPING! if i need anything I got to Value Village and if you want cold come live where i am at was -30 for 3 weekz this past winter you have no idea what Cold is.

Speaking of Pennsylvania here is a bit of trivia: Wyoming was named after a place in PA.

I live in Arminto, Wyoming in a one room log cabin and love it, but I spend the cold snowy winters in Mexico and Apache Junction, Arizona that I also love.

I am really surprised to hear that the winters mellow out. I had the impression from my cousin who grew up there that it's bitterly cold the entire way through. We visited when I was a kid but it was in the Summer and it's just amazingly beautiful and pleasant during that time.

Hi Lauren, I've been watching Wyoming and Idaho live streams lately, it look so freakin peaceful. I would love to visit or maybe live there in the future. Thx for the video, hopefully we can be friends, thx again. Take care.

Lauren: I have experience zero type winters in Illinois and I did love the clean air and clear skies. I did purchase some special clothing to then enjoy the ourdoors. You mentioned you lived in Philly. Most Philly people I have worked with.. no all Philly people I have met would hate to live in a location similar to Wyoming. I now have the opportunity to live anywhere but I hear complaints from Wyoming residents that they are angry that California and east coasters are beginning to poison their state elections.... Is that true?

Just came back from Cody Wyoming and loved it!

Wyoming... my birth place... and after 38 years... I left to the PNW... I have lots to share... but Wyo was not much Equality for non custodial Parents... It Snows in July and August on occasion.but the Winds... some folks call it a hurricane... but the Wyoming Wind Festival starts each year on Jan 1 st and lasts until December 31! I have been through Cheyenne's Tornado and Floods.. Blizzards and a strange oddity calm for a moment before the Winds

Wild black Mexican : I'm not a California native. I've lived all over the USA 🇺🇸 . I've lived in Denver before but never drove to Wyoming. Your just a mad at the world individual and I feel very sorry for you!

I once lived in the little resort town of Saratoga (sometimes known as 'the poor man's Jackson Hole') and here's my two cents worth. The summers are fantastic--warm and sunny in the day (no humidity; sometimes windy) and nice and cool/pleasant at night. Winter can get very cold BUT the cold cold days don't last very long. A day or two of very cold weather and then its back to the 30s or 40s. The snow is moderate in the winter and looks beautiful falling on the mountains. The highway road crews do a fantastic job of keeping the roads clear for travel. Wyoming is famous for its winds and Saratoga has its share of that but it's MUCH windier north of Saratoga in Rawlins. (Ugh a prison town with lots of unpleasant transients.) The closest hospital is 40 miles away in Rawlins. 50 miles south of Saratoga and you're in colorful Colorado. And 2 1/2 hours south of Saratoga is beautiful Steamboat Springs. (The drive is very scenic.) Housing is rather expensive in Saratoga either to rent or buy. Lots of wealthy people live in and around Saratoga. The town has one grocery store and a Family Dollar. Several fine restaurants--the Hotel Wolf, Platte Valley Pizza, Bella's, and the Saratoga Resort has a microbrewery as well as teepee hot pools. And Saratoga has a free, 24-hr hot pool with showers and lockers. Don't pass up a dip in those healing waters--great for your tired back after a long drive. The local police are friendly, helpful and easy-going but the Wyoming State Police are not--they're essentially revenue collectors--avoid them. The local populace are nice--if you encounter rude people chances are they're not from Saratoga--probably Detroit or somewhere equally rude. Don't be surprised to see a herd of deer ambling through the town or in your backyard and antelope are in the hundreds on the outskirts of town. If you have questions let me know.

Been in Wyo most of my life and would be glad to suggest sites close to the towns that you suggest. If from Cheyenne, then I suggest The Ames monument or Vedauwoo. Cody, South fork road for the wildlife. Newcastle, Elk mountain lookout. Hulet, Devils tower. Green River, Flaming George. Buffalo, Crazy Woman canyon. Dayton, Tounge river canyon. Thermopolis, Wind river canyon. Hyattville, Medicine lodge state park. There are a lot of special places within Wyoming.

We've decided we're going to make the move to Cheyenne in a couple years (once our home is fixed up and sold here in LA).

Am thinking of moving to Wyoming it really fits are family. But know nothing about where to live some people say that it's a big meth stay and stay out of it. But at this point it can't be worse than California. I would be so thankful if you could help me on this journey 💗🙏

How is the job market? Thanka for sharing Lauren

I visited Wyoming and enjoyed catching fish!

Wyoming is where I want to be.

Sounds nice I would love to visit oneday! Your summer sounds beautiful!😎

Hi how are you ? thanks for this video. My husband and I are planning to move to Laramie Wyoming. We chose the state and town together it took a while to figure out what we wanted and we stumbled across Laramie WY and just knew we wanted to be there. We are planning on visiting in two weeks for 3 days to experience some time there and to see the town. I was hoping for any advice you can give to moving to Wyoming we are all the way in Connecticut, my husband is transferring his job to Laramie and i am searching for employment although im not having much luck getting responses with my address being is CT same for calling rents no one seems to get back how can i get help so we can get things rolling here.

I lived in Laramie a while ago, but I had moved there before finding a job (not the smartest move, but I was young). I would suggest bring persistent and calling instead of emailing (if that's what you're doing. Some businesses in Wyoming are pretty adverse to technology. )

Its a very informative video Lauren, Thank You. I wish to visit Wyoming one day, Jackson Hole in particular.

The wind gets bad in the South East part of the state, but yeah the temperature gets pretty low, under 40° F most of the time during winter.

You mean a normal 90mph, they can get over 110 where I was

If I was to move to Cody, would I get bored of it? Should I be moving to a place like Cheyenne instead?

Moved from So.Cal 9 years ago for Star Valley, Wyoming. Wish I would have moved 30 years ago. Love Wyoming! Forever West!

Ya, Star Valley was a beautiful place and still is only now not many native Wyomingites can afford to live there, alot like Jackson Hole. Both places are full of rich-out-of-staters that have moved in and changed the area. It is a lot like Vail and Aspen Colorado. Not many natives go there any more except to pass through on their way to some where else.

Hi sorry I was so busy thanks anyway what part of wyoming that is bit warmer coz I am planning to raise sheeps and goats .Is growing hay grass is abundant there? Or do you know some places low crimes , warm and good for livestocks farming ?

I love living here ❤️❤️

Thank you for making this! I love Wyoming. If I'd ever visit America, Wyoming would definitely be a destination for me. Excuse my ignorance, as English is not my first language, but do the people of Wyoming have a distinct accent? If so, what is it called?

+Frox4ever I don't' think there's a distinct accent...some people have a little bit of a country twang, but that's about it.

No humidity!! Lived in JH for 5 years...but don't miss the -30 mornings.

I'm in California and I am looking for a new state to move to. I was thinking Wyoming but I don't think I can handle the winter. The lowest temperature I've ever experienced is 40 - 35 degrees and that was cold as heck.

+Christina .H8sYou You probably wouldn't enjoy the winters. They're bright and sunny, but the typical high is in the teens or 20s, with cold snaps where it doesn't get above 0 degrees F for a few days. Let me know when you find a state that works best for you. Good luck!

I think I could handle the winters. The coldest I've experienced is around 14-15 degrees here in Texas and that is not pleasant BUT the thing I really hate most about winter is the gloomy overcast days. If Wyoming truly is mostly sunny through the winter then I could live with the winters.
