What is going on everyone? Welcome back. So my last video was on the state of
North Dakota I uploaded the reasons not to move to North Dakota and instantly
got requests to do a video about its neighboring state Montana one subscriber
in particular named Sarah went a little overboard
she spent the better part of Saturday asking me to do a Montana list since I
don't want to see Sarah blow a gasket I thought I'd better knock out of Montana
video so here's my top ten reasons not to move to Montana number ten winter
winter gets bad in Montana I'm not talking about that you might need a
thick coat type winter I'm talking about them make sure we have enough firewood
so we don't die type winter the winters in Montana have been known to send
newcomers packing it's like one winter and they're done that whole big move to
Montana that dream is over they head back to Florida number nine it's big and
small Montana is big and the people are spread out sometimes your neighbors
might be miles away if you're not in town but at the same time it seems small
because everyone seems to know each other and they get all up in your
business that's according to my friend Chris who was born and raised right
outside of Billings he said everyone knows everything about each other if you
just know everyone even though the state is big number eight survival skills
getting snowed in or your car breaking down in the snow are two things you
really have to worry about during the Montana winter now if you're living in
town getting snowed in sucks yeah but if you don't live in town you're living out
on the outskirts it could probably kill you my friend Kelly who's another
lifelong Montana resident said keeping supplies in your home for like a week in
case there's a serious blizzard or something like that is a must and they
said also keep a couple days of supplies in your car like in the trunk or
someplace just in case you break down the snow cuz it could sometimes be a
couple days before someone finds you number seven more cows than people
that's a fact Montana has about three times as many cows as people now maybe
four from Montana or Texas or someplace like that that's not amazing to you but
us folks that live in cities that's mind-blowing number six
you could get eaten on a hike this is another fact they've grizzly bears in
Montana if you go for a hike you could actually meet one of these super
predators along the path a couple quick facts about that a grizzly bear can run
over 30 miles per hour they actually clock one one time that was running
after something across a field to put that in perspective
hüseyin bolt the Olympic sprinter runs at about 27 miles per hour so you're not
gonna escape it trying to run they also climb trees and
they swim there's no escaping these dudes
I'm just happy they can't fly now if a grizzly doesn't get you they also have
Wolf's and they have rattlesnakes that could kill you and before anyone
comments I know rattlesnakes can't eat you they could poison you stop typing
number five too much space according to the US Census 46 of the 56 counties in
Montana currently qualify as frontier counties with an average population of
six or fewer people per square mile that's not a lot of people play your
music as loud as you want run around naked your front yard nobody's gonna
complain now you may get eaten by a grizzly so be careful when you're doing
that in your front yard no one wants a naked man or woman getting chewed on by
a grizzly it's not a pretty sight number four the residents are armed to
the teeth now there are some gun laws in Montana but you never guess it if you're
new there now I live in Portland and I own a couple firearms I probably don't
need them but I own them that's not a thing in Montana you own them because
you need them you might also just enjoy them but most people have them because
they need them remember what I said number five and number six about the
living in frontier county and the Grizzlies yeah you need a firearm you're
in a frontier county you need a weapon or two Grizzlies rarely outrun bullets
number three allergies now if you're one of those people with allergies that you
know you get the runny nose and eyes and all that and a little hard to breathe
every now and then living in a city when the snowmelt in Montana you're gonna
feel like you have mesothelioma that's that lung disease that stops you
know you from taking in oxygen yeah it gets bad
and if you're one of those people that says they don't have allergies you may
realize when you get to Montana you do when the snow melts number two
the divorce rate according to a recent survey the divorce rate in Montana is
around 30% that means one in three marriages are ending in a courtroom on a
plus side the ratio of women to men in Montana is about 50/50 so get yourself a
farmers only account and start looking for the next mr. or mrs. backwoods
you'll be a happy camper it may be quite a drive to find the next
mr. mrs. backwoods but good luck and number one he might get vaporized
there's a super volcano underneath Yellowstone National Park if it ever has
another massive eruption anyone in the Mediate area would be vaporized as it
ceased to exist they wouldn't even find your teeth it
could spew ash for thousands of miles across the United States damaging
building smothering crops and shutting down our power plants pretty much
screwing up North America for quite some time all flights would be canceled it
would be bad that alone should stop a lot of people from moving to Montana but
who knows it may never erupt again so who might be rid of them all right Sarah
and everyone else that's my top ten reasons not to move to Montana I hope
