Things NOT To Do in Arizona!! 

Um...standard lol...go back to California beach people!

Unless you like heat. I was there outside most of the day in 114 degrees and I liked it. I dislike snow and cold weather and think any hint under 80 degrees is cold so I was loving it 👍

Right? Sports are just a distraction

Couldn’t agree more and it’s me with my tax dollars paying to get these yo-yos down off the mountain. Thank geniuses

@@fryeguyfrye5520 They usually get sent a bill.

Go upstate.

Binghamton, NY, Ithaca NY...beautiful landscape but be wary of the people who live there, very clickish.

I agree! I don't know how many times I've gone hiking somewhere and see people's trash, if you can carry it there then you can carry it to a trash can. I really appreciate this video!

I liked your video, but most what you said can go for All States. Respect the State you visit, use common sense (wishfully everyone has it) and have a good time!

In this dry country where do flash floods come from ? From India .

@@subhashnamey5562 Arizona has a monsoon season with heavy rains that come fast and sudden.

@@geiger1848 thanks Cowboy .

The washes are called arroyos. I live in NM. Homeless guys camp in them. Fooooolish.

Agreed. It doesn't even need to be raining anywhere close to where your at to flood you out.

Born in the valley in the early 60's, one thing every one of our vehicles had in it and still has, is at least 3 gallons of water, they get dumped and refilled all the time, it may be tap water, it may be warm, but it is a life saver, plus never leave home without a towel, put it on the ground when changing a tire, or use it to dry off after using water to wash with if needed, etc. A comb in the glove compartment to remove cactus from your limbs and a piece of paper with pencil, things I know I always have with me,

@@robertzumstein4431 yes water is key to have even when taking the bus. I was told in the summer never leave home without water. Also if you wet the towel and place it on your neck you can keep your core temperature down. You can wipe your face too. If you fan the towel in the air, it will become cool and refreshing when you replace it back on your neck. I used this method when hiking down into the Grand Canyon (10 miles) and all the time I was down in the canyon hiking to each site that was 2 miles apart from each other, then back out (10 miles), it was life-changing, a truly wonderful experience. What a great memory.

The heat can actually break down plastic into the water over time. Still better than dying but probably good to keep in mind if you're not dehydrated.

Why

@@teresagiff378 because you get 2nd degrees burns

@@Zar2MI touch metal in the summer time it didn't burn me

You are so right on that, don't touch car door handles or even the steering wheel without it being covered. Buckling up with metal can be difficult with searing pain. Even being out in the heat can make your purse so hot you can't touch it. I try to have an umbrella when going out in the summer it makes a big difference. I have noticed it getting hotter each year because of more assfalt, cement sidewalks, buildings. Taking away the trees, gardens, fields.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 don’t Lin against u own car in summer

No its really like 80 your just in the way we have our own ways luckily we dont charge you to drive in the hov

Truth on the rain. It's such a blessing to get rain. I've been amazed with such breathtaking downpours. One time it was raining so hard I was standing in my doorway and noticed everyone also standing at their doorways. We felt the energy from the rain, it was glorious. Rain is so precious here. I even started marking when it rains on my calendar just to see how AZ is doing with weather. Rain is one of my prayers for AZ. I also pray for rain for California and the other western states.

Don’t forget that there’s a LOT more to Arizona than Phoenix and Tucson. "Dry heat" being milder than humid heat is absolute bs .. always carry water .. always, it’s more precious than gold. A LOT of people carry a gun ... don’t be stupid.

I am from California. I will say I am from Cali.. all day.. all night. Loud & Proud. I am not gonna hide where I'm from . I'm proud to be from Cali originally. I don't bring no particular political agenda with me. If I did.. it ain't none of your business. We all Americans trying to live our best lives. 🥃 Cheers, 🇺🇸

That's interesting because here in NV, I see AZ plates camping in the left lane all the time. Annoying AF.

Thanks. I’ll try that one.

Yes walking you can loose balance in six inches.you don't know what is underneath the water. he should have mentioned to not leave babies or pets in the car 3/4 pf the year. Winter only.

Bullshit

Yep, I was told to use a stick to turn over a rock because of the creatures that could be underneath. There are also poisonous lizards, poisonous centipedes, snakes like coral snakes also. My son when he was little picked up a baby coral snake, my father saw him and told him calmly to put it down. My son was lucky because the snake was so small it couldn't bite him even though it was trying to. You also need to look around before sitting down on a large rock because a poisonous creature could be close. While we were hiking, we had some experience with this, a lady sat down when we stopped and my father told her to be very calm and he took out his pistol and shot the snake (this was back in the 60's), the snake was so close to her and my dad was a great shot.

i before e except after c. just kidding....

There are booties for your dog; it might be a little difficult to convince him it is in his best interest but it is.

In the morning is actually the safest option. Even after the sun goes down in summer, the pavement has still been sitting in the sun all day, so it can still be incredibly hot.

And remember that javelina HATE all canines and are likely to attack you and dog. On the other hand, cougars LOVE dogs, especially tasty LITTLE dogs.

@@buffalogal9139 I started a company that manufactures air conditioned boots for your pets. They're safe for even Death Valley No really!! Only $19.99 plus shipping and handling.

Don't wear shorts if you're an adult male.

Myth. Just buy a windshield screen and you’re fine

Ouch!

Yep and don't touch the seat belt metal part use ur shirt so u don't get burned.

What about cooled seats and auto start?

We're thinking of doing the same. How are you and the fam? Any tips for moving into a new state?

@@mamapegg hi! I've been here just over 6months now. There certainly is a palatable racism here. For the first few mo this ypp kept asking me what brought me here if I live here or just visiting. They see me and want to know what I'm doing there. I dont always feel comfortable eating out alone. I do t trust that they won't harm my food I've had a few sketchy experiences. I was racially accosted in a Walmart parking lot and told to go back to Africa. Aside from all of this, I still would not leave. The beauty and peace of Arizona I will not let anyone run me away from. I have seen so many beautiful rare butterflies, hummingbirds... The mountains are breathtaking. I am happy everyday to be here it feels like a huge blessing to have such a change in my life many people only dream of moving cross country. I did it and I feel very blessed to be here. The weed is amazing BTW LMAOOOO

@@queenofhearts1138 I'm sorry about shitty Yt people. Way to stay strong and do you.

Enjoy it while you can..you got maybe 3 months more!

That’s cold! No way. Too cold

Come back in July and let us know how you like it. 😁

@@mindibear I was there in August at 114 and loved it. A bit warm but not too bad. When you hate snow like me anything is better.

Who cleans up the deer poop...or the bird poop..or the rabbit poop?

Very correct. Human poop too.

@@lloyd1179 , he meant deliberately not cleaning up after your dogs. Wildlife don't have a choice. Last time I checked, dogs and humans are not wildlife.

Very true!!! Pay attention to signs.

Billed yes, assuming you make it out alive.

@@arizonaskye3917 correct. Don't know but I would not put it past them to bill your estate.

go back to Michigan. Arizona farmers don't need your advice

@@mruofacat a few farmers draining the aquifers for a miniscule amount of pistachios and stupid things. All at the expense of millions of people. I have no problem growing things that can grow in the environment that they're planted without watering them.

It's a "use it or lose it next year" policy. They are punished for conserving water so they plant water intensive crops.

Maybe you should make one on how to be a responsible adult or have someone do it 🤔🤨😶

Responsible adults are hard to find. This video is needed now more than ever.

How to be a good little conformist cardboard cutout 'citizen' slave.

your reply indicates that you are neither responsible or respectable for fear that you might be considered a citizen of a civilized society, Being a citizen of society, any civilized society has some conformity involved, that does not mean that you are a cardboard cut out slave, haveing general respect and being responsible for yourself and your own actions is being human, I used to think, but reading comments like yours is starting to change my beliefs on that. For you seem to be one that goes out of their way to disrespect and not be responsible, for fear that you will lose your individuality. That is what I get from your posted comment anyway, if that is true then you are more of a slave to society than the ones that are responsible for their own lives, for you are not responsible and want others to do it for you. Talk about a slave type of life.

I concur

bye bye. don't let the door hit ya

Librals are like a virus........destroy one host(CA) then look for the next host....AZ

@@jstrat121 Not Liberals. Conservative real estate speculators. They, and their bankers win at both ends of the move.

Homelessness is not just in LA. It's bad almost everywhere in California. We live in the Central Valley and they live in the river and even in the greenery by the freeway! The rent for a 2 or 3 bedroom apt here is at least $1,500 a month.

But the summers are dreadful Agree. During summer you are literally a prisoner inside your house: blinds shut and curtains drawn. Incandescent light bulbs are plain stupid.

Same here. I moved to California several months ago & I basically hate it. I really miss Arizona. This pandemic turned my life upside down 😷 Maybe I will make it back there someday. 🌵🏜❤

@@marlabaldwin7011 if you hate it, just move to where you love. I'm sure the last bit of Californians that exist there would appreciate it if people didn't move there just to hate it & then stay there being miserable making their lives miserable. I remember when I over heard a guy talking to his friend at a Google bus stop he said, "I don't even want to be here anyway. I hate this place." He was referring to San Francisco. A city I loved with all of my heart & soul. Until it was culturally destroyed by the tech industry & people who hated being there. It made me so pissed to over hear that conversation because I actually wanted to be there & I was getting priced out by people of that industry. It's unfortunate that the income gap has gotten so huge there that even if you're making a decent income you can't afford it. It's too bad you are in a place you don't like & that it has been an unpleasant experience for you. The Tech monster really destroyed that place long before you arrived. You should have been there when it was fun though, at one point it was worth some of the nuanced hassles.

I miss and love Arizona. I've had so many crazy experiences there. What an amazing place.

Same! I lived in Phoenix back in 2010 then me and my 2 other siblings end up moving to West Memphis Arkansas! I plan on moving back to Arizona in 4-6 years from now

@@samurai9319 actually I am a California native. Back in the 80's I lived in the Bay Area & it was expensive & over crowded then. I moved back to my hometown & it to grew super fast & still is growing. It is awful. Overrun with homeless, drugs & gangs. It makes me sad to see the changes over the years. I always loved my hometown & couldn't imagine ever living anywhere else. Now I don't feel the same. I moved to Arizona 8 years ago & fell in love with it. Between the pandemic & family being in California I chose to move back home. Don't have money just laying around to up & move back. I am sure though that one day when I am in the position I will go & that will be it for me. In the meantime I am making the best of where I'm at. 🙂

Here's a history lesson! Pick the state where they haven't removed all the statues yet and you might have a chance of teaching history 😉 With socialism on the rise, I wish you well and good luck!

and dont own a black car, white is worth more here

I left wickenburg got pushed out to much horse money forced out retired people and I was a fan of box till the trash valley people tore it up.i lived there through all the changes and will watch the redeo crap fade away and all the rich horsey people cry about there over priced horse land and homes they can't sell again sorry I'm bitter about the better than you wickenburg way.

Take a comb and use it to pull them out.

Cholla!!!

Damn jumping cactuses anyway! Californians stop throwing your Mexican jumping beans out in the desert-- that's where these jumping cactuses pick them up!!!!!

...... and not killing our wildlife and cacti for sport.

Where are these "shell casings" ? I reload those.

Midwestern University, HUH? I have a Min Pin that sees the Vets at the Companion Care Clinic there on campus. He sees them for specialized care. Just be prepared for the extreme heat!

I would amend that. Don't move to Arizona. Period. We're full.

@@mruofacat Haha i keep saying that for Idaho as well.. Doesn't seem to work they just keep on comin anyway.

I'm on my way East soon.

@@Nickjackson36 lol people keep moving to Idaho?

I would go one further, if you were not born here leave.

I think that's pretty standard around the country. Move over if you can do so safely. Otherwise slow down and use caution.

Arizona > Florida

Floriduh causes brain damage. Keep that in mind.

Florida = horrific humidity, flying roaches the size of C-130s, sand fleas, hurricanes, and over population. But it’s true some people don’t enjoy the Dez.

Yup rock yards are the way to go

@@qrator6882 Rock yards are definitely better than putting in a lawn. But we can do even better than that! In an effort to live in harmony with the desert, my husband and I dug up all the gravel and plastic on our yard and put in shallow basins to catch the rain and water our native plants. We get tons of water from our roof too. These catchment basins are filled with wood chip mulch that holds the water like a sponge. Our yard is now full of native wild flowers, bushes, and trees that attract birds to our cool little oasis in the desert. And those native trees don't require much (if any) city water once they are established.

Yet we have had record rain and snowfalls in northern Az and lake mead actually was riding when they were covering the massive drought that was happening even though the upper basin feed was cut down to 30% and the outflow was still at 100% of normal. They had to stop showing how low the lake was because it was riding during monsoons. No one wants to address that the upper basin flow is being shut off because Colorado is redirecting water to a resort and golf course they just built and cut the flow down to our lake reservoirs.

People here say it monsooned all famn summer last year

@@davidstrom597 Where is here? Here in Tucson, we had record heat and drought until the monsoon finally came. Trees were dying. Fortunately, we had put in three new cisterns (big rain barrels). I used the water we harvested from the monsoon to get us through the long dry spell. It's important to install rainwater harvesting basins and cisterns to take advantage of the rain when it comes. Not to mention drought tolerant native trees. I'm proud to say, we didn't use any city water on our landscape and garden this year!

And the only thing you should take is photographs.

Very correct. Unlike box canyon... Haassayampa....weekends and trash dumpers

Critters eat plants....lots. they are not afraid.

And snakes like to snooze under those rocks.

Dangerous bugs? Havent seen any of those yet that i know of.. what is an example of one to watch our for?

@@rideronthewhitehorse2012 Scorpions...

@@rideronthewhitehorse2012 scorpions, giant centipedes, sun spiders, black widows, just to name a few

@@rideronthewhitehorse2012 scorpions

Just buy a recyclable tin bottle like I did when I got here at Costco, they came with 3 for $20.

The water thing is a myth

Just don't put it in the bathtub you'll be fine.

Thanks for the tip!

Yeah

Even the Native Americans ware long sleeves and long pants out in the summer on their lands. It helps not to get heat stroke. I have had experience with heat stroke and that's no fun. I was lucky though, the people I was with, they ended up in the hospital, I didn't.

i don't burn.

@@Earth.is.F1AT You're not that guy pal

There's actually quite a few Steelers fans in Az

There is a ton of Steelers fans here! Just like the cowgirls they are everywhere. You will love the climate here especially in the winter. Go buy a UTV and have a blast! Tear that desert up.

all Fitz needed to do was make a tackle...had 99yards to do it...still haunts me

This Mesa is Wrigley Field South they love their Cubbies there. So much so Ryan Sandburg retired to Phx Metro.
