I love Montana! I miss it so I watch these videos. I only lived there (in Great Falls) for 4 years (1964-69) but I felt like it was my home. We first came to see Glacier National Park when I was 11 and continued up to Waterton International Peace Park in Alberta, Canada, camping all the way. There’s nothing like the Rockies. We fell in love with Montana and moved there the following year. We traveled all over the state and camped in Glacier Park every summer. I miss the big sky, the high prairie, seeing herds of deer, Pronghorn antelope and hearing the bugling of the elk and the honking of the Canada geese. I don’t miss the long, long winters though! But it still feels like home. Maybe because my Dad is buried there.

Malaysian fan here! I love this kind of video. Keep it up!

I sincerely appreciate your videos and honesty. I am not a native, but my great grandfather was a longtime alderman for Great Falls. I feel a deep fondness for MT my great grandfather represented. It's because of him and getting to know MT through friendly locals like y’all, that my family and I have made the decision to eventually relocate to MT as our forever home.

Great video. I agree people love it because it is different and not where you came from. Don’t change it. Enjoy it. My wife and I had a wonderful 2 week vacation in northwest MT years ago and still talk about it.

Keep doing what your doing. Stay out of the comments section with all these trolls. Your videos are awesome.

I love this guy..He is 100% right. Don't go to Montana and pretend you are a cowboy when two weeks ago you were serving coffee at Starbucks in Comifornia.

[thelight]

Hey, I bought the Stetson for head protection and it's a nice looking hat, wasn't trying to be a cowboy, haven't got the horse....yet.

THIS is a wonder "full" video with excellent content. Thank you. The same courtesy should have been extended to local Washingtonians by newbies from other states recently especially as of 4-5 years ago moving here. As a result, Washington is not the same it used to be at in rural areas as well. Your videos are awesome. Please keep informing your audience. Thank you!

[kelseypetersen]

Love this!! This is why Montana is great!! Don’t wanna change it one bit!!

[helenhoward]

I think I have the best of both worlds. I get to spend 5 months working in Montana in the late spring, summer and early fall and them mosey back to Arizona for the late fall, winter and early spring. I get to meet many long time residents of Montana and have had lots of great conversations about growing up up there and places they like to go. Always fun. Enjoying your series

We LOOK at each other when we cross on the sidewalk…with the exception of Bozeman. We also look at one another when we pass in our cars on the street.

We SLOW down!! We listen. We consider one another. It’s not that hard. Don’t screw that up!

[gkdcom]

I love this video! We moved to Texas from Utah and now I am eyeballing Montana. Love you all, Montana is beautiful, thank you for the work you do and producing these videos!

[silvercat]

This was one of the best & funniest videos! You’re totally right in all the points!!! Don’t you stop making these videos for one or two negative

Transferred to college at MT State spring 2022 to avoid the injection in CA and I explored the state and SD. I love the small town feel of Butte Broadus Helena and I loved the college community in Bozeman. I dropped out and came back home but I will always remember the tight knit communities of the state.

Can’t wait to visit one day . I want to see the elk 😍. I understand the struggle as we live in Virginia and the Yankees are coming down like crazy lol

[LauraMidwest]

"this state rhymes with Texas" cracks me up every time

[bradwellen]

Another Awesome video.
(thank you 👍).

A lot of us here in Washington state have watched the same thing happen over the years.. (california crept up the i-5 corridor and ruined the whole west coast).
So now I'm trying to Sell/Leave Wash. (born and raised here),
I promise not to be like the idiots you described..
I won't even vote..
in fact, i'd be ok if there was a "No city/county/state voting" policy for newbies (if they don't like it there they should leave.. go back/or go somewhere else).

Maybe if enough of them keep trying to pet the elk, others will think it's too dangerous to come:)

When I get to Montana take my time injory the beauty help keep clean

[jriver]

I just gave you a "Thumbs Up" right before watching the video, because I know it's going to be a good one! Thank you!

[its_nick]

I would have probably really embarrassed myself without this, good stuff!
