10 Things YOU Should Know Before Moving to Wyoming 

As a Wyoming native who lives in Weld County, Colorado (the county wanting to annex and become a part of Wyoming! 😍🥰) I always find it humorous when others refer to my home state as the wild west! "Wyoming" truly is like no place on earth!

Job market is great! Low cost of living. Cmon down! Unless you're from California.

If you love high winds and freezing cold temps, then Wyoming is for you!

As a Wyoming native, it’s been an amazing 35+ years! It’s not for the weak but like the university of Wyoming’s tag line. The world needs more cowboys! Tells us that only the strong survive and let’s be real. The world needs a hell of a lot more people with a back bone!! Alisha Collins KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!! Yes we might be the least populated state and always will be due to how soft the country has become, rest assured Wyoming is the place to come as the toughest only survive!!! So if you are put off by growing this amazing hand picked by god state please cowboy up! I’m proud to be born and raised here and I welcome anyone ready to cowboy up!!!!

I worked in Wyoming for a number of years, and kept a fishing license for exactly that purpose, to catch my dinner. Catching and smoking trout was my favorite pastime in Wyoming. Sand burrs popped my bicycle tires in Casper, and that's when I learned of a product called "Slime," a green gloop that is put inside tubes and tires to seal holes. I currently live in Mexico, and am based in Texas. But I've been considering bringing my motorcycle and my Tahoe and setting up a little cabin in the woods as a base, to drive roads and see the parks. Once, many years ago, I visited Devil's Tower, which has it's own post office. I took hundreds of photographs of the sunrise from the roadside about a half mile before the actual landmark, between the sun and the tower. As the horizon shadow started at the top of the tower, and as the sun came up behind me, the line of light traveled down the tower until the tower was the only thing lit, no ground before me seeing direct sunlight yet. Then... Like magic... The sun's light finally reached me where I stationed myself, and a big beautiful mule deer was standing in the road, close to me, between me and the tower. I got lots of pictures of that. I then drove to the post office at the base of the tower... And met the lady postmaster. Her vehicle was 4 wheel drive, and she let me use her vehicle to drive to the top up the road that twisted around to the left to go up to the backside. I had given the lady my keys to help her feel more comfortable about her offer to me to let me drive her vehicle up to the tip. I passed the park ranger on my way up, and he knew whose vehicle that was... He was almost panicking. I thought "Oh crap. He's going to turn around and pull me out at gunpoint." But he was nowhere to be seen after I returned from taking my photos up there. The postmaster must have explained the deal, showed him my keys, and probably left without a worry. Maybe he searched my vehicle to see if I was ok. I mean... They had my keys. I don't know, don't care. Because, I did get to go up to the top of the road, which, doesn't actually go to the top of the tower. You can't climb to the top of the tower, unless you are a well outfitted rock climber. That tower comes straight out of the ground all the way around. After 15 minutes up at the back, I got my photos and came back down, and traded keys back with the postmaster. I kept gushing about how beautiful it was up there. She was smiling as if to say, "Yeah... I know..." Something else that happened, probably that same year... I went up a mountain highway, parked and got out to look out on the plains from my perch. A lady stopped to check on me to see if I was alright. "Yes, I'm ok! I'm just taking pictures." We got into a conversation about the elk hunting, and she invited me to come hunting at her big property. She and her husband owned an enormous spread, where they helped manage a herd of wild free range elk that preferred to stay on their property. She gave me her phone number and I hate that I never did take her up on that. I had my brother and his two sons all hankering for an elk hunt on her land... It just never materialized. In Laramie, I met a couple who owned a tack store. They were interested in the book I was writing at that time. They allowed me to take photos of their store for my book. I believe if I moved there, to SOMEWHERE in Wyoming, the creative juices would begin to flow again, and I'd be extremely happy and productive there. Mexico is sucking the life out of me. The outdoor life in Wyoming... That's what I'm interested in. And the people are so real, so nice. And protective of one another. And the food. Oh my God. Some of the best food in the country. Maybe even, the BEST food in the country. I've spent $400 at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, CA,, when I took 3 friends out to dinner... But those steaks pale in comparison to the $35 steaks in even the most modest family owned steakhouses in Wyoming. 🦌 🐃 🐟 Oh, forget it. Wyoming, here I come.

Awesome vid. Well worth a subscription. Heading to Wyoming tomorrow to search for a place. Super excited

First thing is you are going to need a winter home somewhere warm

Not a resident of Wyoming but I have worked in Worland and Buffalo WY. Spent a few months there. If you love the outdoors and wide open spaces friendly people hunting this is the place to be. Don’t try to change things the residents of Wyoming like it just the way it is.

I would love to live in that great state. I currently live in California and I hate it. Things people need to know is that every one from California is not a Nut like many think of us. I love fishing hunting love God. Served my country. Im country all the way I ware cowboys boots and hat. It would be nice nor to be judged by were I live but by my love of country and my character.

Great video, thank you. I've only been through Wyoming a few times but have always been drawn to it, as I'm more of a nature/rural lover rather than a city person and don't care for too many people. Just want some land for my animals. Would be a stark contrash from Arizona!

Ive been thinking of moving to Wyoming from Dallas Texas when I finish my contract in the Army. Apart from wanting to live off the grid the mountains and forests looks so beautiful compared to living from the DFW area.

I used to haul cattle into Evanston from Calif. In the spring. I can truly say there are PLENTY of cattle in Wyoming. I also miss driving I- 80 in the winter time. Once you learn to drive Wyoming in the winter, you can drive anywhere

I was part time resident there last . Love it except when old man winter goes on a tear.

I visit Wyoming all the time and do like it. The one huge problem........ Its crazy windy most of the time, especially in the winter which makes it bitter cold. It's also getting very expensive in alot of the more popular areas.

You win me over just by saying that there are more antelope & deer alone there than people. Not a hunter or fisher, but I do love all the terrain and beauty and not to mention solitude that states has to offer. Been thinking about it for a while. It might be a great place to go once I'm retired.

Planning to move to Wyoming once I get my teaching degree. I’m from Iowa. This video added fuel for the dream!

I have family out in Casper and yes, Wyoming is spectacularly gorgeous. It's truly an outdoorsman's paradise. There's nothing you can't do there, from ice and fly fishing to hunting....but man, I gotta tell you, for 9 months out of the year, that place is cold, cold, COLD....and windy too. I think I'll stay right where I am down here in Texas.

You do amazing work, love your videos and your positivity, don't stop doing what your doing 👌

I’m from fl but I recently spent a few months working in Yellowstone I fell in love with the area I’m looking into moving out there I’m so excited

Very precious and practical information. I haven't seen a talented person like you giving so much information in a nutshell. Perhaps you are a Demography expert. I seem so much interested in Wyoming. God Bless you. Best of Luck from Karachi, Pakistan.

THANKS!! stunning video.. as an Italian looking to relocate and after living 4 years in Texas.. I am really looking at Wyoming..

We have been visiting Colorado for years and out of NM, NV, AZ, it was still high on our list to move to from Illinois. We visited Wyoming last year and I personally love the lower population a lot and being tax friendly. My wife on the other hand wants to move to a warmer location like NV or AZ. She also doesn't like our humid hot Illinois summers. I pointed out that the summers in Wy are unlike Illinois are DRY and less hot and as far as I can tell, the winters aren't that different. We are about 40 miles from Chicago now.

Don't forget the cold snow and wind! FYI I love Wyoming but it's important to know!

Alisha, you're a great agent, but I had to get out. I never got used to the desert. Growing up with the lush foliage of the east, I couldn't handle the parched landscape. For those who like the desert, Casper is a great place. Thanks for your help selling our house.

This woman can sell anything. Damn she makes me Wana leave the perfect weather here in the Caribbean to move to Wyoming 😂

Remote software job out of state + living in Wyoming = 😍😍😍

you'very convincing!!! Alisha for president!!! I'll help stuff the ballot box for you.

I love Wyoming. Live in Utah, but can't wait to come and visit again! You hit the highlights for sure.

I'm from Montana , Been thinking about Wyoming to retire but, High winds and White Out snow blizzards are something I must consider , Don't think I would care for that, Change my mind.

I'm curious whether outside ice skating is something people do in Casper. When I was a kid in Montana the city park would make a rink by running water on concrete. In fact my dad did same on our concrete patio. BTW, we like your videos and are hoping to relocate there.

10 things you should really know, it's cold, chilly, freezing, icy, wind chill, frosty, cool, snowy, frigid, never warm or hot

I grew up in Casper, graduated from KW. I miss the town just not the snow and heavy winds. Yes the windy city, lol.

Here’s what I love about Wyoming, it takes but minutes to leave the city’s far behind. How many remember the blizzard shelters that were equipped with food, blankets and firewood?

I live in Ohio and ever since moving to remote work i feel like it is now my chance to get the heck outta here! Have no kids or mortgage and have always wanted to move to a less populated and rural area. People think it's strange because I'm 33 and they'd assume I'd wanna move to the city. It's so expensive in the city and crime is high. I'd rather live in a quiet peaceful area surrounded by good people and then take a weekend trip to the city few times a year

Thinking of getting a place in the red desert .. privacy and a hour drive to fishing .. perfect for this meemaw !!

Came extremely close to moving to Casper, WY a few years ago from Illinois. Its an amazing state, maybe in a few years ill be able to give it another try

I would LOVE to move to Wyoming, I've dreamed of it for years. However, I doubt it will ever happen because my long time girlfriend is tied to her job and she doesn't want to leave.

great video but I could not hear you over the loud base music playing.

Thanks for sharing your insights. Looks wonderful. I look at catus and deserts 🏜 Phoenix

My left ear loved this

We were thinking of moving to Wyoming so, we took a trip out there. Our experience was terrible, the people were rude and very prejudice. Laramie on the other hand was very nice. Nice people and a beautiful city.

Hey Alisha, there is an old Indian proverb that tells the story of a small bird that fly's south for the winter too late and gets caught in a snow storm, he falls to the earth and begins to freeze and die when a buffalo walks by and craps on top of him, soon he begins to warm and sing, a coyote hears this, unburies and eats him. There are several lessons to be learned here, 1. Not everyone that craps on you is your enemy. 2. Not everyone who gets you out of crap is your friend and 3. If you find your self in a warm, safe place in life.......Keep your damn mouth shut. I know your just trying to make money but the last thing we need in Wyoming is a bunch assholes moving here and ruining the place.

Casper, Wyoming is quite tempting. Just not sure about the extreme winters.

I lived in Casper for 2 years. The wind is famous!

We drove for miles without passing any type of vehicle or seeing another human being when driving through Montana some 50 years ago (Great-grampa was a town marshal in Montana about 130 or so in Montana, a deputy sheriff and Indian agent in Idaho later). I'm guessing Wyoming has fewer life encounters? A friend uses the one word to express his feelings on Wyoming: bleak! I was last in Wyoming when I was . . . It was 61 years ago. It's nice to know nothing has changed. Between dad's people and mom's people every two to three and a half years we passed back and forth on furlough. Dad and mom were your typical clandestine operatives overseas, dad also big into gurilla warfare, mostly in Southeast Asia. Probably half the people that retired from the Federal Government who are in their 80'' and 90's would have known them. I'm still looking for a place to move after my wife passes. I really can't live in Virginia anymore. I hate Marxist governments! Which Virginia has now become!

I'm coming. It'll be a few more years, but I'm coming. What this pandemic panic has given me was the realization that I can do my job from my home office and the knowledge of how to do it pretty darn effectively. That also means means that I will no longer be forced to live in or too near to a large city. Yay! Electrical Transmission and Distribution Engineering. I'll help keep the lights on.

BEAUTIFUL video!! As a retiree, I'm thinking of Rock Springs ♨️♥️🙏🙏

My family is from Patagonia. They moved us to NYC but I feel we are not as healthy or thriving as we once were in mountain life. I’m thinking about moving to Montana or Wyoming. Thank you for this.

I'm a black republican from AL I love Wyoming so much. I can't fish because of the pollution. I love the snow and love raging winds. I am also a vegan. But before I move there I think I may need a gf first so I won't get lonely ._.

I'm looking to leave NYC and move out there soon. New career, New State, New life. Thanks for the info.

My left ear really enjoyed this video.

We can't wait, I miss the cold so much. Hurricanes, hurricanes and more hurricanes ain't my thing.

How about no state income tax? That's a big plus!

no offense, but if you want to sell Wyoming, need more visuals of the things you're talking about and less of you just talking to the camera

I love Wyoming! Coolest State around! I like the Rock Springs area. When I drove big truck, I use to deliver up in the Gillette area, seen the Devils Tower, ain't nothing like it. If you travel on that lone hwy, in the Northeast corner of the State, coming out of Belle Fourche, SD. It's a cut over to Montana, there are plenty of Antelope to see and watch out for the Jackrabbits at night. Out of all the States I've been to, I've always had a Great trip going through Wyoming. The only State I haven't been to, is Alaska!

Thanks for the video

Brrrr cold weather, lots of snow, hungry grizzly bears, i here California and Colorado is very nice 😁 Most importantly home of the late CHRIS LEDOUX!

Born and raised in South Florida. I'm a 15 year police officer who is over the big city life. I see the beauty Wyoming has to offer and i'm definitely considering retiring to Casper. I just have to make my way out there during a few winters to see if it's a viable option.

Visited Casper Wyoming this past weekend, Id love to live in your state,. I currently live in Colorado for the past 22 years, Casper was amazing and so wasn’t the fishing, I went up for my birthday and Im returning in November for some big Browns. Im looking for land now to possibly build a small cabin that we could rent and use when we visit, thx for the video, it was great.

That was awesome!

I'm a Colorado native. But can't afford land in Wyoming. It went up about 300 percent in the last 2 years. So no thanks. It would take 2 life times to pay for any decent land. Being a conservative I don't think it would be affordable anymore. Too many Californicators driving the prices too high.

Nothing wrong with owning and carrying a gun...Its your right...Dont apologize about it or make excuses for it....Gloat about it....You're exercising your God given right.

On one of the truck stops we gassed on, we saw a sign that said "WE ARE NOT FRIENDLY, WE ARE JUST LONELY". Most turned out friendly too.

It sounds so good there. Moved to rapid city, but it's booming a bit too much. Lol. This is gonna be the way of things I think.

I want to live in Wyoming so bad.

It’s def 1st on my list right now. It’s time to get out of CO. Don’t worry, I’m your kind of people. 🤙🏻

Draw a line from the northeast corner to the southwest corner. With a few exceptions, you can forget about anything on the southeast side of that line. That would include Casper and Cheyenne. BTW, they are called Pronghorns.

You forget the sand dunes. Kill Pecker Wyoming is home of the second largest active Sand dunes in the world it's a beautiful place with plenty of Adventure.

Can't do outdoor activities when the wind, snow, hail, subzero temperatures keep you indoors for 9 months.

You forgot to add that Wyoming has the highest suicide rate in the US. Yes, that’s right, even higher than Alaska.

Debbie Macomber's Wyoming Brides book brought me here. I feel like I fell in love with Wyoming. I wanna be a Wyoming bride too! Crazy, haha! 😍❤

l hear Casper is the home of a world famous musician who is also a top notch chef and an amazing mixologist.

I'll visit Wyoming shortly. I love the serenity as seen in this video. I hope to have a beautiful time there. From Nigeria, West Africa.

Nooooooooo. You're supposed to tell people how horrible it is! Cold, windy, barren. Don't go there. ;-)

I've lived on both coasts, almost drowned in both oceans(RIP TIDES!), but first moved to Colorado in the early 2000's. I took a job just 10 miles from the Colorado/Wyoming state lines, north of FT. Collins, brutal weather. I needed to be closer so I moved north to Cheyenne. Now, at 6,000+ feet elevation, you gotta go out of your way to drown here. It happens, see lakes and rivers, but generally you have to go out of your way, as opposed to any ocean, oceans want to kill you.

One of my FAV States!! ♡

Can’t hear you over the music.

Looking to relocate from PA. Are you still in the business? If so, how can I contact you? Thank you.

Trout fishing is great there, for sure

I was born in Casper. I would love for you to do a video on a few topics. My grandparents owned land and the general store, 30 miles on the outskirts of Casper (what I knew as a child) to be, Natrona County. Father's last name (Manning). My uncle sadly took his life in the "K dub" parking lot in 1987 (Munkres). My uncle Thomas "Tommy" Manning was killed a few years back by a drunk driver. I could go on and on. I suppose you could say that my family has history there. Not to mention that my great uncle Dean was "THE" population of Bill Wyoming in 1966 🙂(Munkres)Also, My brother and sister have a different dad than I do, and they lost him when the robbery of the Loomis Wells Fargo truck occured in the 80s (I believe) (Rogers).

I have news for everyone , not all Californians like California or vote Democrat lol. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will break off and fall in the ocean ' just not before I get out of here.

Wyoming is our goal!

Been through there it's nice some parts are I live in Colorado that's definitely worth visiting if u ain't never been here

Thank you Alisha! I'm moving to Cheyenne this week!!!!!!!

I can do all those things in Phoenix and still be in a major metropolitan area and not freeze my butt off

Please STOP publishing these videos! We don’t what Wyoming to become like the rest of this country!!!

I’m from Alaska and can’t wait to come down ❤❤😂

Nice my brother just moved to Montana nice state as well Wyoming always caught my eye I'm tired of the city

I am from Wyoming and the job market is not that good right now

I wouldn't survive 5 min in Wyoming

I'm so interested in moving to Casper! Maybe some day.

Cute sight ! Thanks

We just moved here from the east coast. We LOVE IT! And we LOVE our freedoms and GUNS!!! 😀

Its funny in reading all these comments about the cold weather in Wyoming, is that anything below 72 degrees is considered sub freezing and it lasts for 9 months!! Lol....you weenies....hot humid weather sucks!!!...you can always get warm by throwing on another layer but you cant always cool off, I mean you can only take off so many clothes....and when you are still hot, sticky, sweating with smelly body odor in your skivies...yuck....and that's if you stay inside! Even if you take a shower you cant ever dry off it's so humid...I lived in miami fl for 4 years, it was awfull!!!.....btw it's the end of Feb and the forcast for the next 7 days in cheyenne is temps in the 50s...hmmmm....someone is lying about the 9 months subartic thing....

All that weaving from side-to-side I was beginning to think you were enjoying some outdoor skating. Have thought about Wyoming as a destination to settle, not concerned about weapons/gun situation, grew up on Army bases, surrounded by tanks etc.

But sadly Wyoming has the highest amounts of suicides😪

Are black Floridians welcomed here???

I think this lady just sold me on where I'll be moving, if I move

I'm from Tampa and i've lived in Florida for my entire 31 years of life. It's so crowded here and big money developers have ruined much of our scenic beaches. And every year it seems like the ultra humid summers get longer and the winters get shorter. In short, states like Wyoming, Idaho and Montana and the Dakotas seem like a nice change imo.

Unless you're a liberal, then don't come here. It's terrible.
