Someone Who Cares
I just bought a place in Greybull Wyoming. My neighbors in Greybull have given food from their garden, eggs from their chickens, and meat from their livestock. I didn't ask for anything and now have enough food to sustain myself without going to the store. I have helped one neighbor hook up solar on his RV, and I helped another for a few hours setting up a greenhouse. It's like having family living all around you and I love it!
I moved from San Diego CA to Wyoming about a year ago with zero regrets. The people here are 100% real; first night moving in it snowed about 4 inches & the next morning I kept seeing a man walk back and forth in front of my house & thought how strange. He was snow plowing the sidewalk in front of my house and the walkway to my front door when he found out I had moved from California. People help each other in Wyoming without thinking about it for one second. That is not the case in California at all. The majority of the people there are only concerned about superficial crap.
Yea, move out of CA in 05...rural ozarks bound..much better..
Yes, less density seems to naturally allow a deeper sense of community
I went to the beach and did some surfing. Enjoyed few drinks with my longtime best friends from college overlooking the ocean, had awesome Mediterranean meal, and afterwards, played few rounds of golf then sat in the outdoor jacuzzi with my neighbors as we chatted about our kids as they go off to college next year. Our neighbors and I have tight bonds as we've been in the same house for over 30 years. Yes, the home we bought for $140K is now worth about $2.5 million. There's a REASON why so many people move and live in San Diego, LA, San Francisco ... metro area and Wyoming is almost empty and extremely CHEAP. Seriously, not everyone is stupid. I do have a vacation property in Wyoming, but I wouldn't live there if you paid me. There ARE reasons. But you do you :).
Just remember why you left CA. Do not CA WY
Robert Putnum had some research about overcrowded and also overly culture clash cities (sudden influx of tons of different cultures over just a few decades) - certainly more polarized than the less dense and less suddenly changed cities
I used to be a truck driver, and Wyoming shares the honor with the Oregon coast of being the only two places in the country that literally took my breath away.
Yup! Feel the same.
Colorado ain’t bad. Very beautiful there too.
Have you seen the Big Sur coast? It's quite something!
Ditto, 20yrs otr. I live in oregon now oras I call it magical unicorn land. Probably end up in Wyoming because I love solitude and snow
@@kingtrance307 you're absolutely right. However I have family there so I was a little desensitized.
My wife, son and I lived in Buffalo, Wyo. for 9 years, my daughter was born in Sheridan, Wyo. We absolutely loved living out there. The people are the most genuine, kind and generous people that I have ever lived amongst. We had no desire to turn Wyoming into anything other that what it has been for hundreds of years.
That is the area I fell in love with in 1993. The Bighorns took my breath away. I try to get out there every year at least once if I can. I would retire in Buffalo if I could find a place affordable enough. I fit right in out there because I am a self sufficient person and can do most anything with my hands.
As a Wyomingite, I feel blessed to call Wyoming home! And part of its beauty is the fact there are so few people. It is wild, and we love and want to keep it that way!!!
Although not currently in the state I am also a Wyomingite and miss it terribly (Story/Sheridan area). The appeal and love for me is it's lack of people, remoteness and independence...not to mention the mountains (which we don't tell anyone about, right? lol)
Yeah it is nice, it's like Norway a big country for few peoples we have on 5.5 million here and you bearly se anyone if you are outside the towns hahaha very nice 😎😎 I thought Colorado was emty and nice but this is even more great USA is a unike country!!
Everyone move to Wyoming now were taking those mountains and all the jackalopes.
First winter will change your mind about how great it is.😮
@@livesoutdoors1708 - Wrong - people celebrate winter in the west. So much to do.
As a resident of Wyoming, I am truly thankful to be here. The wild and wonderful world we have is a beautiful thing.
But who after u? This an end of the story!!!
@@przemmedI wanna move there, actually 🙏
A couple years ago while traveling in Wyoming, about one hour out of Rawlins, my alternator died on my car and I felt my battery run down to nothing,right there on the highway. I called triple AAA and I sat and felt the quiet for an hour till the tow truck arrived. I had stopped right near an old country graveyard. Yikes! scary! The people I met in the 4 days it took to get another alternator, were awesome and very kind. Good Folks.
Love this. My dad is from Greybull. His grandfather owned a hospital in Powell and is buried there. About 8 years ago I took my wife to medicine bow National forest and camped in the mountains off an old logging road. She couldn’t believe the level of rugged beauty. To this day she says her heart is in Wyoming. Mine is too.
I went through there 30 years ago on a motorcycle trip and fell in love with the geographic area. I have even named one of my cats Ten Sleep.
Having been born and raised in the US, this is probably the most I've ever seen about Wyoming (at least in one sitting). Really neat, and you do a fine job illustrating why the locals like it that way. Thanks Eva!
Looks beautiful there. Those layers in the rocks must show some serious geological history. I would love to examine them up close! 😯
My grandpa’s family moved there in the late 1880s. Hulett is where my grandpa was born. In the 1920s they moved to Chugwater and later Casper. He was in the Wyoming National Guard Calvary starting in 1937. We used to visit every few years. The sky always seemed so close you could touch it with your hands.
My wife and I have lived on our farm for over 20+ years. We are in North East Texas about 70 miles from Dallas. I have commuted to my company 140+ miles per day for my company. Now ready to retire we are again ready move again from what once was a remote farm to even more remote location the actually sees and feels all the season of the year. Your travels have opened our eyes to more remote locations of beauty alone with difficulties of the harsh environments. We are glad to see you're back and most of all allowing us a preview places we might adventure. Best to you and Thank you!
I have lived here my whole life (45 years)! I wouldn’t live anywhere else.
I’m glad you came by, friend. Stay a while.
I've been to Wyoming and loved it, but you may want to experience a winter there before putting down roots.
I have relatives who live there and they've told me stories of how cold it gets in the winter and the relenting wind.
Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
I'm a Wyoming-ite. Winters are BRUTAL, summers are great but short.
Very true! If really considering moving someplace long term, visit both mid winter and mid summer. Often that will change your mind.
For me, I prefer the winter. I’m nordic and like activities like ice climbing and ski
The good thing for here is she doesn't have to be there in winter; she can travel south with Odyssey like her normal routine.
@@jakes4164 Excuse me? I ran cattle and trained horses for ranch work in my home state for years! My dogs are retired working cattle dogs, my horses were working cow horses as much as they were trail horses. Don't even go there!
I once had a friend that lived in Wyoming and I would say it definitely has its pros and cons. It was a gorgeous state with lots of room to roam, but it was very lonely life for him and that loneliness left him deeply unhappy. There weren’t a lot of people his age and his family home was so remote he wouldn’t have been able to see them often even if he did have friends his age. When he wasn’t working, he spent most of his time on the internet because it was the only social outlet he had.
Medical resources are scarce. When his mom was bitten by a rattlesnake she had to be flown in a helicopter to a city be treated for it because there wasn’t anything even in driving distance. He struggled with mental health issues and wasn’t able to get adequate care.
And finally, job opportunities were scarce. My friend worked on his parents’ ranch and was never really able to find his way off of it. Wyoming is a beautiful life and it suits some people very well, but for others that life is not right at all. It’s great if you are self-sufficient, have a lot of survival and handyman skills, and like being alone or with only a few people to support you. Not so great if you can’t find friends, have complex healthcare needs or have specific career ambitions.
I'm certainly not trying to say that there's no lonely people anywhere else. All I'm saying is that this lifestyle isn't for everyone. It works well for some people and not for others, just like the city life works well for some people and not for others. It's easy to romanticize a life like this when you only see the beauty and hear from people who love that life, so just trying to provide a counterpoint.
As someone who's lived in cities for a while, I've met my fair share of people who were fleeing from their small towns for good reason and felt much more comfortable and safe in a bigger city. Sometimes small towns are wonderful and close-knit and friendly and safe. And sometimes they are only like that if you fit in with the local culture. @@floatpool8307
sounds like he had a beautiful life
@@demo3456 Sounds like you have reading comprehension problems.
Any retiree thinking of moving anywhere in the middle of nowhere without medical care nearby and with bitter cold Winters needs to go to therapy, or maybe a good mechanic. The mechanic could attach jumper cables to his/her ears and jumpstart the retiree's brain. NO WAY would I consider this place.
Translation: There are very few women who want to live in a place as cold as Wyoming. Hell, even the fat chicks stand a chance in Wyoming since it's about a 5 to one ratio.
I lived in Wyoming for about 15 years total. Loved the wide open spaces of the plains and the beauty of the mountains. You learn how to relish solitude.
I know I would.
As a Montana person, we are losing the wild that Wyoming still has and that is sad and I understand why Wyoming wants to keep people from moving there. We tried, and "That show" has made it impossible
Wyoming has seen a steady decline in population since 2014 up until around the pandemic. Even more is the natural population growth (births vs deaths) declined steadily as well
Yellowstone??
@@diodelvino3048 definitely talking about yellowstone haha
It's so sad how we've basically lost Bozeman... I used to live there in 2017 after I graduated high school in Shepherd and those were the last few good years. We still rode our bikes, longboards and roller skates in the road with the cars because there were so few if it wasn't tourist season. Now it's all out of state plates and assholes with attitude.
Honestly heartbreaking how much our state is changing for the worse.
@@oldankh I was recently hiking near the Tetons and met some people on trail with a terrible hiking attitude (I saw one of them litter, I picked it up but like wtf), they said they were from Bozeman and I was like… hmm your accent sounds like you’re from Massachusetts and your attitude seems to be from there as well 🙊 sorry not sorry. If those are the kind of people moving in and taking over Montana, I’m so so sad :(
As a person from Poland I've had multiple opportunities to visit the US and always felt so damn sad when leaving. It was an amalgam of elements but I suppose that the vastness of the outdoors and the biodiversity impacted me the most. Wyoming was one of those states where your jaw keeps dropping from the experiences among nature it provides. It's a wilderness through and through which is incredibly hard to come by in congested Europe. Your content often helps me relive those glorious memories! Hearing someone talk about what I got so excited about myself puts an enormous smile on my face. Thank you, Eva! Dzięki! Keep up the great work and give WIlk a few pats from me!
Thanks for coming! Poland is a great ally to the US
It’s not what it once was. Evil is amuck.
The ejector seat on a helicopter was a great Polish invention
The politics of Wyoming would have you running. They would love to hunt in Yellowstone. :)
@Wesmancan don't tell me the democrats have taken over Wyoming, too?
It’s so funny how someone moves to a place and they then want to close the doors to anyone else moving there
Wyoming resident here, I live in the least populated county in the state, we are over 100 miles from the nearest railroad track, interstate highway or a walmart. It's suffice to say, we like our solitude, we like our way of life, we see what other states across our nation are like and we dont want outsiders moving in and trying to change our way of life.
Change is inevitable, you have a strange attitude towards your fellow Americans.
@deadtome44 yes I do, it's not solely my opinion but one held by a vast majority of the other half of Americans. We plainly see what you've done to your cities and states and we want no part of it
@@deadtome44 we have no problem with change. We use it to our benefit when it suits us. We see what change has done to California, N.Y., Chicago, Seatle, Portland, Baltimore etc. We simply don't want it here. We don't want high violent crime rates. Feces, needle and homeless covered streets. Open drug use or sex taught to eight year olds. We enjoy our neighbors we don't kill them. We like sustainable living. We enjoy providing for ourselves and helping our neighbors and fellow Americans do the same. We like getting our own turkey for thanksgiving and goose for Christmas. Stocking the freezer with grouse, game and fish is fall chore to get through the winter. We thank Our chickens and ducks for their eggs and meat. Our pet pig, Jimmy Dean, really, will be brats when he passes. His hide will make a couple of holsters or a waterproof rifle scabar. We'll use everything but the oink.
What we don't like nor stand for are people telling us our way of life is wrong, that they know better and try to change our way of life for our own good.
@@92xl what? I live in South Carolina and I’m not moving any time soon. Well I guess I can’t keep y’all from sticking your head in the sand. I don’t think any mega cities are gonna pop up in Wyoming any time soon but things will continue to grow and change whether you like it or not. The west has long been a place of frontier and new beginnings, and frankly, we aren’t entitled to anything.
@@deadtome44 “fElloW AmerIcAns” my behind. Have you watched the news in the past 5 years? Country’s more divided than its ever been. I live in Illinois and can’t wait till I can afford to buy land and start a new life somewhere remote
I live in Wyoming! I love it here. It's not for the faint of heart. Our winters are tough and the wind can be brutal but it's beautiful!
Wyoming and Southwestern Montana are so beautiful. I love hiking up there in the summer.
Quality video and narration. Well done.
You don´t know Eva how relaxing are your peaceful voice and the spots you capture with your cameras.
Your video just happened to populate my feed! I am a lifelong resident of Wyoming. You’re absolutely right. We don’t always realize what we have.
I live in the northeast region in the plains, so I’m far enough from the mountains that my heart leaps every time I see them, even though the Bighorn range is just an hour away from me. My wife and I just spent an extended Labor Day Weekend in Grand Teton National Park. I’m so ashamed to admit that though I’ve always lived in Wyoming, it had been 15 years since I last saw the Tetons. It was amazing. We are so thankful and amazed at where we live.
We are glad you had a wonderful time here. I thing you caught the absolute reason for why we love it here and live the way we do. Thank you so much for being respectful to our state and people. It’s tourists like you that are always welcome back!
I hope you read this me and my daughter just absolutely love you. It's one thing that we can do together is sit down and watch your videos. Thank you for being such an inspiration to her. I'm so proud of her no matter what but the look she gets on her face when she watches you is beyond amazing thank you. Just for her smiles.
I appreciate the woman loving the low population. I don't think it's fair to say we don't want any outsiders to move here. When you are originally from Colorado. How would you feel it the people felt the same about you. Peace and love great video.
I was thinking the same thing. I would have rephrased it to "I hope the population don't get too big" instead, especially when you yourself came from a different state.
Typically a certain American mind-set equal to protestant refugees from England washing ashore on east coast or trudging through Native Indian lands and saying, "keep moving along brown savage". Gross words from that womwn who's ancestor's are dutch chamber maids. Hahahah
I LOVE your vibe, your content, your way of life. You're great, thank you for doing all this and sharing it with us.
Wyoming is so crazy beautiful. Drove across it and was stunned by it's beauty
Eva, you get it. I'm a naturalized US citizen/immigrant and understand the psyche of the American frontiersman and their spirit of adventure. Wild America is absolutely amazing and I admire those that dare to seek it and live the life like those in these videos.
If your a naturalized citizen your an American now not an immigrant
As an American, you're right. America is a unique transposition of Old World Western cultural values with a new "forge your own destiny" frontier attitude. European cultures were never about forging your own path, but being part of and knowing your place in a group. I saw this when I lived in Europe. I think many Americans sometimes feel rootless and adrift or separated from our roots. And people from other places often feel stifled and held back. The American spirit is about deciding your own destiny and I love when it clicks for people. It's ok to blaze a new path, create something rather than fall into place. Your roots are always inside you but you are part of a new frontier.
Your videos are so inspiring, thank you very much for posting them.
Thanks for sharing, Eva. In person connection is needed too.
I used to travel alone for many, many years. But as years pass, I started to realize that I wanted to share with another person the things/places I was watching. I lost that happiness I was feeling seeing something magnificent and beautiful. I'm happy that you managed to still enjoy every moment, every day alone. Well, almost alone...
True 💯
Maybe is better to share to whole world and beyond. It is not about "alone"... You know, just energy in flow.
Both ways of traveling have their pluses and minuses. A little of each is good.
@@marekbartas6021 No, he was talking about wanting to have someone physically present with him as he travelled around to and saw places, instead of not having such a person with him. His comment has nothing to do with "energy"; flowing or not.
@@marekbartas6021 Sharing on the internet can feel a lot lonelier than sharing with one person in real life
My Family has lived in Byron Wyoming since 1898. A tiny town in the North. Beautiful to see recognition. Thanks for the vid!❤
Awesome content!
I was born and raised in Wyoming, I moved away in 94’ after high school but I have some amazing memories growing up hunting, fishing, backpacking and camping! There’s good and bad any place you go, but I would say that winter is the biggest negative for Wyoming. It felt like it lasted six months or more sometimes.
It's worse here in Maine...Love Northern Maine and the nature...I feel like i'd love the vast uninhabited american west of Wyoming. I have to visit someday
@@stefaniekasal8620the winter is most definitely not worse in Maine. More snowfall by a foot maybe in some spots but the majority of Maine does not have the Freezing 60mph winds and -50 blizzards commonly seen in the most of Wyoming.
Your videos and narration are so cozy,heart warming and beautiful They are very much appreciated ❤
Thank you Eva, as you push yourself, you move us too! Stay awesome ❤
I loved seeing Vilk jump into the car, by himself, how obedient, and he has grown big and strong.
I had to go back and watch that I had been wondering why she always lifted him in . He has become a big boy
@@user-gj9xl7rt2z he was young so she was protecting his joints development:)
Good job with the scene writing in the van. A score even!
So happy you are really exploring the US many Americans go their whole lives and never leave their state a true blessing ❤
Absolutely stunning place and landscape. I love more quiet places and less population. It’s a lot more calm and peaceful. I’m very happy you’re sharing this with us
One winter may reveal the reason for low population but absolutely agree otherwise.
@@Mrbfgray You’re right! Wintertime can be really rough and I think also during summer it can be a challenge for the people.
@@JasminW007 IDK why summer would be challenging other than city folk who need city stuff.
I'm entrenched in Commifornia for the *natural landscape* and climate, political climate is a disaster we must accept paying for while attempting to change it. I grow everything from apples to avocadoes, very important to me, plus business established here, and farther North is rural.
Lower population is inherently more freedom and I can still visit the metropolis only a few hrs away. Giant Redwoods and High Sierras (where a big part of my 'soul' lies) are only a little farther, really no place on Earth has so much available.
@@Mrbfgray Maybe because and that’s just my guess that seasons are kinda more rough in the north (hotter and colder) & that could be harder.
But I could be wrong. Growing up like that is a blessing, much better than living a big city and having masses of people around you and never being able to ‘calm down’.
Most of us from here in the EU can only dream of being there and feeling that kind of freedom and I hope that everyone who can do it also can enjoy it ❤️
@@JasminW007
I hear you on Euro vs us lucky to inherit the Colonies. (with huge respect and appreciation for Euro, loved time in Portugal/Spain...) To ME y'all don't have wilderness until say Scandinavia. Choosing between Euro and States a bit like urban vs rural, *enjoy all of it* but can't tolerate daily traffic and congestion.
Hot is relative but NO in Wyoming, lol. Grew up running cross country mile high over 100F, now in low land Cali over 110F expected a few wks/season. (Once killed cold virus via mid afternoon 10k run at 114, core body temp to high fever range, HA!)
Bicycled from E. Cali across Nevada, Utah then up the Rockies (as much as possible) to the lower tip of Alaska then back down the coast to Central Cali. Montana similar to Wyoming, *very* nice summers!...seductive, fully exposed full time on a bike you know, but then somewhat brutal winters. Even Idaho doesn't get "hot", even if they say otherwise, lol. MANY great places to live in West US.
Wilderness:::
If a couple/few days hike into High Sierras I'm offended if there's another tent on far side of lake, expect canyon to myself and the few with me, and can still go more remote to small lakes above tree line, near certain to see no one else. That's precious to even if I don't do it often enough, it's *there* for me.
Alone in Giant Sequoias a 'spiritual' experience. I always tell visitors to forget Vegas, HellA, etc... see the Redwoods of N. Cali instead. :D
(pardon caring on!!)
I grew up in rural Oregon, and I looooove that lady you interviewed about Yellowstone tourists. Many of us who are country have her exact attitude. Americans disrespect their own culture with gentrification and working class locals losing their place in the fabric of America. She is the America I appreciate.
Molt interessant! Gracies!👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video! Thank you! You're the best!.♥️♥️🫶🫶👍
Your videos just get better and better, you are exploring the most existential questions, what is home, what is life like in wild remote areas. How do you coexist with nature and the wild. I often think investigating the questions in life is more than finding the answers. Rock on Eva.
" I often think investigating the questions in life is more than finding the answers." Indeed. The answers may not ever come but the sense of self-fulfillment far succeeds any answers to questions.
Agree...such excellent reporting
Very well said 👍 Currently coming to terms with the "investigating the questions" part never really reaching fulfillment in this lifetime. Behind every answer is 3 more😮💨 Coexist with nature and the wild though- I hope to tackle that!🤠
Born, raised and still living in Wyoming. I knew you were going to talk about Wyoming before I even clicked on the video. Welcome to our state!
I kind of giggled when you said it was hailing, because it hardly ever just rains here in Wyoming. It almost always hails when it rains.
Thank you for showing our state animal, the jackalope. :))
Our state is so beautiful and hardly anyone knows it exists.
Be thankful most people don't
@@heatherturner2366 Yeah seriously. Everyone is moving to my small midwest town and these idiots are killing it. More crime, sky rocket housing cost, the towns becoming ugly with all these new cookie cutter houses and apartments. These idiots are going to vote what killed their towns/states too 🙄
The only problem with the concept of the jackalope, they always put deer antlers on the rabbit, if it's going to be a jackalope, then it should have antelope horns on the rabbit, not deer antlers! Make it make sense!
Nice docu, thanks. 👍
I love your videos. Truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
I drove across Wyoming and it's almost hypnotic how vast and beautiful it is. Very overlooked as a state but good for them.
It's funny you mention that, just a couple of days ago while I was working out new Outfield, I was looking off in the distance, and could see anywhere between 5 and 20 mi in almost every direction. It's a kind of you that most of the people in the country will never see, but I get to see it everyday.
And BTW, Wyoming AND it's people are some of the kindest most helpful that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! ❤ Enjoy!
So true! Nicest people I’ve ever met
Well made video. Great sound track.
Excellent video !!!
Thank you for brightening my morning with yet another top-notch video.
I live in Wyoming and it is amazing to see this state. You can go from the high desert to the mountains in an hour. There are sand dunes, red desert and petroglyphs north and east of Rock Spings. The Boars Tusk is a Volcanic Tube that is standing in the middle of an empty plain. The Flaming Gorge is a sight to see too. The Tetons and Yellowstone are awesome to see but there are other places that will take your breath away too. And if you go to South Pass City you can still pan and find gold.
We would appreciate you not sharing our secrets thanks.
@@brontantwoord7266 well anyone who is into panning already knows about the gold. but did you know about the diamonds? seems Canadian mining companies own a large part of the bordering area between Colorado and Wyoming on both sides. but they don't own all of the drainages and there are diamonds in those too. and diamonds can be panned the same way as gold. diamonds are heavy enough to accumulate in the same places gold does. diamonds in the rough look a bit oily and feel a bit oily too.
@@jerryadams6799I'll have to buy a pan before heading up the Oregon Trail.
Big thank you to you Eva for connecting us into deeper part of the world! 🌍
Such beautiful scenery in this video😜. Good luck🎉
Camping out west in the U.S. is so different and great. The weather is always a factor to consider. When I lived in South Dakota we couldn't get the Boy Scouts to go camping in the summer. To many bugs and other campers, but as soon as the first snow they wanted to go every weekend. Of course, they had the proper gear for the conditions. Great videos girl!
Minnesotan here…winter camping is absolutely the best! Nothing to fear if you’re equipped properly, and zero mosquitos or ticks!
I feel this so hard. Gimme shoulder season camping or winter in SD in the Hills.
Being able to connect to neighbors depends of if one is different than the neighbors. You have to be like the neighbors to be accepted by them. If you are different, you will be ostracized and that's fine if your self-esteem is well enough.
Preach😏👍
Very true. Your neighbors will be all in your “business” and judge you. So be ready for that. You must be very careful what you say to anyone, it always gets around, within hours. Town gossip is a real thing.
I really love your videos, super professional 👏👏❤
I drove across Wyoming with my family once on a trip across the US and back across Canada. It is, indeed, both very empty and GORGEOUS. My favourite was the Bear Mountain Pass out of Yellowstone - incredible and my wife freaked out at some of the switchbacks and drop offs on the way up to +11000 feet.
When we were visiting Yellowstone about 20 years ago, we took a day and drove to Cody, Wyoming. Small town, but a couple of incredible museums. Thanks for all you do Eva!
Cody has the Buffalo Bill Museum and in it they have a Frederic Remington studio replica. I have a fondness for his art since I grew up in a house he owned and lived in a couple years in Kansas where he had a sheep ranch. When we visited Yellowstone, we were going to camp west of Cody and they had fires so had to go north and camped in Montana at a city called Cooke City and they ran out of milk for almost a week. Came into Yellowstone via the north entrance.
I have followed your channel from the beginning, and I am truly sorry I have not joined your patrion group, however in my feeble plea for mercy, I am in a Overland build to do the very thing you are "Travel / Explore" so with that I thank you with my whole heart ❤️ for your inspiration and willingness show us what is out side our windows through yours ❤
Verdade, existe tantos lugares incríveis para conhecer no mundo né?
Those of us who’ve moved to Wyoming, as myself wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I lived in Alaska for 12 years. I originally moved to Wyoming at 19 y/o but my career took me away for some periods. I lived in SW Wyoming but now northern Wyoming. I go camp ,fish ,hunt and fly my airplane. We have SEVERE winter weather. I see my nearby California transplants have put their home for sale after 2 years. Bye bye. Too many people, like what is happening to western Montana, ruins a place. California….Arizona…..
It's funny Because Cody is one of the Biggest towns in Wyoming.
Hi Eva, I was saddened when you said "... and I know I'll miss it daily whenever I end up leaving" because it sounded like you had given up on the idea of establishing a home in the American West. But then a bit later you hinted that you were about to establish a home here very soon, and then I felt hopeful that we will still have your wonderful self around here to brighten our days. Good luck in all that you do! By the way, the video is absolutely beautiful!
Some of the best people I’ve ever met, live in Wyoming. ❤️
I miss them.
Miss the Big Horn mountains.
All the wildlife.
The openness…I understood the awe you felt running in the mountains.
There is a solemness to that land.
A deep seated tranquility that one learns to inherit the longer you are there.
You almost have to.
It’s as if time itself slows down for the appreciation of the hardness in the beauty you become engulfed in.
Nature.
People.
History.
I never once thought it needed anything more than to be admired for what it is.
Vast.
I hope to someday go back.
I miss my friends.
Thank you for sharing your amazing cinematography. That drone footage is epic.
Safe travels to you 🙏🏽
I just discovered this CZcams channel and I just love it. I subscribed after the first video.
Ten sleep sound like a place to go back in time to.
That’s what our small town was like when growing up!
I am so thankful that you and Vilk are discovering wonderful
places in our country.
Be safe and keep on trucking.🥰🇺🇸
Thanks Eva for your videos. Always well done. Hope your travels continue to be enjoyable and safe.
I’m an Australian. My family visits the US regularly. It would be hard to put a “favourite” status on a US state for my family members if we tried, I’m sure Wyoming would come high with the younger members. My preference would drift toward Colorado, simply because I love the countryside, but I love northern Arizona but can’t stomach Phoenix
I was born and raised in the Bighorn Basin, upper center part. Growing up on a farm/ranch was awesome. We had a lodge in the mountains and I’d spend the summers up there with my grandfather. I’m glad you visited. Ten Sleep is close to my dad’s lodge up in the Ten Sleep canyon, my dad had a gas station in Ten Sleep and we had a small farm by Worland. You may have seen our house while leaving Worland to Ten Sleep. Big house on the hillside leaving Worland.
Ooo...I think Eva has found her home!!! ❤️ I can't wait to see where she is going to call home. 🥰
Wyoming is truly beautiful and still somewhat wild. The hardest thing about living there are the brutal winters.
Annie Proulx wrote a number of short stories about Wyoming called, "Close Range: Wyoming Stories."
I have that book. Unfortunately I think she paints a mostly depressing picture.
Oh my, u just list my pup with such a familiar face as yours. Great video!! Your enthusiasm is as beautiful as you!
I love your channel!!
Keep working on more content!
From Connecticut
vilk is an agile, powerful dog, u are lucky to have such a loyal companion. Great job on training him.
Bless you darlin. Your videos documenting your travels through my country with your international perspectives has been really healing for me to be apart of. I wanted to thank you for continuing with your channel and all the hard work you put into this content. Buford Wyoming, got myself a post card once, population 2. Look forward to the next and learning where home is for you... have you truly found it? God bless and continue to shelter you dear soul.
How you got those different camera angles and shots is remarkable. Music great too.
Great video . Having crossed Wyoming every week as a trucker for 3 years I always wanted to go take time to enjoy those little towns on a vacation instead of driving through for work.
Love seeing this Eva, we are travelling small town America right now in our U.K. camper and totally agree in what you say. Yes we also go to those great national parks but in between travel by back roads and small towns, currently in Minosoto, just paddled in the headwaters of the Mississippi! Six months into our trip and like you marvel at the space between towns that you would never see in Europe. Every stop someone will ask about our rig and we find out the local gossip and cool places to visit. Safe travels.
Wyoming is amazing. Thank you for showing the world all these incredible places in the United States. 👍🏻❤🇺🇸🌹
Eva I've watched a number of your videos exploring the US. I've lived over 8 years in Europe, so I know how you feel experiencing the vastness and diversity of America. I loved my time living in Germany and the Netherlands, but I longed for the wide open spaces in America. I've lived in large cities, and now live in a town of 450 in south central Missouri. There's a lot to be said for small towns in America.
Great video 👍
Many years ago, and between jobs and seeking solace, I went with a friend on a road trip met with friends in Cody, Wyoming, and we proceeded to go on a packhorse ⛺️ trip! It was the best thing I ever did, and I almost didn’t come back! It was peaceful, rugged, definitely rewarding! One of the best couple weeks of my life
You're awesome! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
It's amazing how the vastness and solitude complement the state's beauty. Feeling the connection you have with the wild landscape and appreciating its loneliness is truly special. Thanks for sharing the unique charm of Wyoming with us! 💙
Your videos are so interesting.
Your videos always broaden my perspective of people and the outdoors, thank you😊
This is such a wonderful thing you do Eva , bringing awareness of theses parts of the world !
Awesome! I am headed out to Arizona and Utah again very soon and was contemplating coming back through Wyoming, I definitely will now! Thank you!!!
very cool I enjoyed your trip
I’ve driven across the country a bunch of times - twice with a French friend of mine. We both agree the nicest people we met, and the most beautiful landscapes (maybe the two somehow have something to do with each other?) are Wyoming and North Carolina. Everyone was welcoming, my friend - who often felt like people in more populated areas didn’t really like French people - loved Wyoming and the NC mountains (and Arizona). People were so welcoming and he’s gone back to western NC a bunch of times since, had made friends there and loves it. Anyway, Wyoming and it’s people are wonderful in my experience.
I grew up in North Carolina although originally not from there. Totally agree 🙂
NC ppl r pretty nice. Especially in west NC. Least populated areas have the nicest ppl
Except how most europeans like to laugh at republican voters and red states. I do find that ironic.
@@basicinfo11252unfortunately the media like to group everyone up, and we all know not all republicans are the same, id say most just want happiness and freedom! Its difficult to legislate the entire country when its so different between wyoming and LA
ive driven across the country twice also, and nothing beats colorado scenery
definitely hits different in person Eva. love that home seeking and finding path you are on. Good luck!
I LOVE this!
Recently moved to a rural property in Ontario Canada but it has nothing on what I'm seeing in Wyoming.
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Amazing! Thank you Eva zu Beck for sharing this informative and beautiful scenery of Wyoming and North America. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
Always a good time having a vicarious travel moment with you.
Love Vilk's FAFO bandana
Awe such a refreshing video! And just so wholesome & heartwarming. Thanks for giving us a piece of something that just feels rare rn.
Beautiful you and graceful place. You showed the courage to follow yourself.
You are such an awesome person!
Excellent production as always. The subject, music, and video are perfect but the heart, honesty, and simplicity make it completely awesome.
Eva, been watching you since the beginning and so happy to have you in the US! Please don’t leave! Put down roots as you said you would! The West is amazing but so is the Midwest (Michigan) Northern of course but Great Lakes and amazing beauty! Really enjoy your content and thank you for sharing the not always easy daily travels!!
Also, any plans for a van update soon? Would love to see what you’re rocking now vs when you started with you’re grandfather helping you outfit you’re rig! That was great but would really like to see you’re “if I knew then what I knew now” top ten items!
Took a trip out there with a buddy and my dog this summer, loved it. That place was beautiful.
First minute of your video already sounds like a wonderful place.
