what is going on everyone it's time to do another most secluded video the last
time I did a most secluded town video I got a ton of suggestions on locations in
the u.s. that are more secluded than the ones I had listed and probably should
have been included in the video so I wrote down the suggestions from your
comments I did my research and I came up with the best 10 suggested secluded
towns now i'm sure i'm gonna get a bunch of comments on this one as well and
that's fine comments likes and even dislikes help the channel youtube looks
at interaction and all three or interactions so it's cool with me
comment all you want tell me how i'm wrong i love it the rules of this list
are simple the town or location has to have at least a hundred people has to
have a post office and has to be far away from a real town so before you do
stop typing we don't need to hear about the truck stop right outside of some
town you live in that has a trailer park and it's got five trailers in a cornhole
court and it's in the Oklahoma outback don't even hear that being said let's
take a look at the top ten most secluded towns in the United States the viewer
version number ten kremlin montana kremlin is a very small town in hill
county the town is only about 282 acres wide and it's just got a hundred
residents the whole town is a farming community lacking a grocery store or gas
station you'll have to drive 45 minutes if you want those luxuries and that's in
Big Sandy yes Big Sandy is a town in Montana not a nickname we gave my sister
when she quit going to the gym then if you want to go another two hours away
you can get to the big city of Great Falls Montana that's like a giant
metropolis by Montana standards the community is so small there's only one
school and a fire station that doubles as the post office can you imagine that
the fire department races over your house to put out a grease fire in your
kitchen because you have no idea how to cook while they're punching holes in
your drywall to put out the fire that has now become electrical fire because
you have no idea how to wire a house and the chief says oh hey I got some mail
for you in the truck comes back and goes this one's from the IRS looks like
you're getting an audit
number nine st. Paul Alaska st. Paul is the first of three Alaskan towns that
made this list st. Paul is a small town of about 500 people on st. Paul Island
in the middle of the Bering Sea and it's hard to get to both figuratively and
emotionally figuratively it's a long rough plane ride that sometimes requires
a couple days of waiting for the weather to clear
emotionally that comes from a subscriber she said she knew a girl from st. Paul
that said the flight and the boredom took an emotional toll on her that's why
she never went back the flight to st. Paul is a three hour flight over some of
the roughest waters in the world you know when the flight attendant gives you
that safety briefing they could get to that one part about the water landing
and just say in the unlikely event of a water landing don't worry about the
floatation device you'll be frozen solid in four minutes after we hit the water
number eight point lay Alaska point lay is on the northwest coast of the state
of Alaska like many other towns in the northern region there's no roads to
point lake any food any supplies the town needs they have to be brought in by
plane back in the Cold War era might have been a little bit easier the Air
Force actually had a small installation there for some satellite dishes but
those were taken down around 2005-2006 after not being used for like ten years
the population in 2000 was around 250 residents as of 2015 the population is
risen up to 270 they gained 20 people with only about 85 residents in the
workforce so that's not good only about a third of the people actually working
point lei is a native village with about 80 percent of the population being
Native Alaskan this thing is way out there
there's nothing around it except ocean and land mostly frozen tundra
number seven Hewlett Wyoming almost every city in Wyoming that isn't
Cheyenne Casper Laramie is relatively secluded but you definitely have the
extra secluded Hulett the population as of the 2010 census was about 385 people
now it's estimated be around 400 that just tells me there's four hundred
people in Wyoming that don't like having company fuel it has one school a few
places to eat a grocery store the Golf Club yes
Hewlett has a golf course does a town in the middle of nowhere really need a golf
course that is actually larger than the town itself and makes no sense
the nearest big city in Wyoming is Casper and that's about three hours away
number six Dalhart Texas Dalhart is one of the larger secluded towns with little
over eight thousand people as of 2017 this city sprung up from an old railroad
Junction back in like 1901 the city is in the very northwest corner of the
state and 80 miles away from Amarillo and 40 miles away from the closest
Walmart which is by Texas standards really bad news the good news is they do
have a great burger place called the grill they serve these giant hammers
they're great number five Mackinac Island Michigan now this one made the
list because it's sort of secluded and a subscriber wrote me a very lengthy email
about going to high school here with a four-person graduating class it was like
a mini novel there's so many words Mackinac Island is home to about 500
residents as of the 2010 census the closest mainland town is Mackinaw City
towards the south there's a couple other ones that might be a little closer but
that's like the mainland the only way to the island is by ferry or private boat
that's in the summer or snowmobile or airplane in the winter the island does
have an airport there are no cars on this island residents visitors have
their choice of transportation horse bike or walk in the summer that's in the
summer in the winter everyone drives snowmobiles this one made the list
because it has no cars also the subscribers said the island isn't that
far away during the summer during the winter it seems much further away I kind
of got the vibe from that that it's just the weather keeps people away from the
island anyway people ride their snowmobiles everywhere during the winter
parents pull their kids to school behind sleds and draw
right off the front door at the school I thought that was kind of neat number
four stay he can Washington stay he can is within the Wenatchee National Forest
this place is tucked away to say the least stay he can has only about a
hundred residents and the only way to get to the town is by taking the ferry
up like Chilean a long hike a horseback ride or by flying into Stehekin and a
seaplane since there's no roads here those are your only options I imagine
you could swim it but that's a long swim I don't know if anyone wants to swim
that I've never been here I know I've camped on Lake Chilean before and this
place is so far up the lake I didn't even know it existed I was there three
days no one mentioned it knew nothing about it
I saw the seaplane didn't know where it was going it was really interesting this
place is so far away from everything it has zero cell service zero if you want
to drop off the grid this is your place now like I said I haven't been to that
town but I heard it's really nice the pictures look nice I'm going to go there
this summer I'll have pictures for you in June or July I'm sure very interested
about this place
number three Haines Alaska Haines is a pretty tricky place to get to from
Washington State or any of the contiguous states probably the easiest
way is to fly into Fairbanks or Anchorage drive through the Canadian
provinces of British Columbia and the Yukon Territory you'll be driving about
15 hours that whole driving portion then once back in Alaska you'll have to take
the Klondike highway to get to a ferry that will take you to your final
destination of Haines Haines has the basic necessities for town however if
you want anything extra other than the necessities and alcohol you'll have to
go to the closest city of Juneau which isn't any easier to get to it's just a
little bigger like a lot of places in Alaska weather plays a major role in
travel and stop typing not everyone only travels during the summer I got that on
a recent video and someone said well if you're worried about the weather just go
in this summer yes that's a great idea because everyone's life's that simple
that no matter what happens they'll just put it off till the summer
number two soup I Arizona soup I is the capital the Havasupai Indian Reservation
located within the Grand Canyon and about five and a half hours from
Flagstaff the community is home to only about 208 residents and is the only
place in the US where mail is still carried out by mules in the contiguous
United States by the Department of Agriculture and it's a good thing this
place is so remote and hard to get to I am sure if it was closer to say some
main road it would be overrun by visitors and
a-holes look at it it's amazing
most people that make this trek do so with a certain amount of respect you're
not going to see people in beach chairs with beer like you would at the river or
lake havasu it's a lot nicer just hard to get to and number one yellow Pines
Idaho yellow Pines is located right outside of the Payette National Forest
and as of the 2010 census the population was only 32 people and I know that's
below the requirements for this list kind of broke my own rules but here's
the catch in the woods surrounding yellow pine they have a bunch of people
living in cabins and trailers and the estimate for the 2020 census is that
they'll get to about a hundred people the closest town with any chain
restaurants or grocery stores is McCall and that's three hours through the
canyon this is another place where in the winter you seem like you got a
little further away from everything else this is also one of those places that if
you live here you feel like you're camping every day of your life this is
also a good place to move to if you're trying to escape your past so they don't
have any internet television or things like that might have internet but it's
that satellite internet and you know that's so slow it might take you three
weeks to load a website of any news it's that far out all right so that's my top
10 most secluded locations in the United States the viewer version hope you guys
enjoyed it hope you got some information out of it sorry if I mispronounced
anything these aren't places that I've been to that I have some experience with
for the most part so it all came from the comments I gave it a shot I
apologize if I mispronounced anything everybody have a great day be nice to
each other
