What if you were single, no kids. Maybe a dog.

Already have tons of back pain and don’t really care about medical facilities because you welcome the thought of dying young because you can’t stand thinking about living like this forever.

Have about $500 k or so in equity to bring.

Wouldn’t mind some dirt but plan to build a shop with and apartment.

Travel for work so it absolutely does not affect where I live at all. Literally all I would do is change my address online.

Would most likely head to AZ or some other warmer state often the last tag was punched.
And Elk hunting and shed antler hunting were the most important things to life?

Do you like snow and cold, or mild winters?

The older I get the more I hate snow. I’ll hunt in it.
But that’s the thing.
I’ll just buy a patch in AZ and toss on a 5th wheel, middle of no where AZ can still be had pretty cheap.

I simply don’t need amenities. I can just shop on my work week and bring it home.

I would just frequent WY enough in winter to meet whatever residency requirements and to check on the place.

I would also build a big shop in Wyoming with an apartment I only want like 1000sq ft of living quarters.
Heated floors and walk ways. Long enough I can shoot my bow in doors.
Just pay someone to cut my firewood.
All I’d really have to do is plow the driveway.

I work, hunt and lay around like a lazy ass.
I’m not going to be doing anything outside in the winter that’s not an emergency that needs taken care of.

I know a bunch of people who moved there from sodak and they all love it a couple been there over 20 years but only real difference is they have mountains we don’t and you can hunt elk every year there.


We moved to Wyoming from Nebraska. It’s pretty much just as you said, minus humidity and bugs.

Sounds like about anywhere you wanted to be could be made to work in that scenario.
