We live in Florida (After I moved here from the VERY TOP of Beech Mtn, NC, Avery County 6605' elevation at the front door. Wyoming is probably colder and If we never saw snow again, it'd be too soon. I Love Love Love Wyoming (and the more desolate parts of Montana, and formerly Idaho), but only for the spring, summer and fall. After living 300yrs past the end of the state maint. on a 'goat path' w/a 30 Degree Grade and average 86" of snowfall per yr (& You could add 100"+ to that from the snow blowers on the slopes....Shawnee Hall, the Expert ski slope was at the end of my back 'yard') and spending 6 months a yr, preparing for 5 months of the year (cutting, splitting, stacking and drying in, 10-12 cords of Oak and Locust), I know a little bit about snow, 100+mph winds (Literally IN the "Jetstream"), and sub-zero temps for entire months at a time....it truly sux when the high for the Month was -3F? BTDT isn't a 'bragging right' It's a "Guns of Will Sonnet" "No Brag Just Fact" statement. That's why we opted for 15ac just off the Suwannee (end of the dirt road turns in to a boat ramp) in N Cent. Fl, far enough off the beaten path to be difficult to access, but close enough to get to, so as to qualify as a 'bug-out', b/c my theorem has always been: "if You can't get there from here, it's going to be somebody else's "bug out". We picked up the 1st 7.5ac in '96 & 2nd 7.5 last yr, taxes are $23. +$138. (W/Ag + Aquifer Recharge Exemptions), and we're so close to the Ga. Line that the deer are big and could care less about the property line between us & that state to the North! Entire County has a pop. <10k. Lots of agriculture and yes, it's a long drive to "Wally World", but we don't mind. A few shipping containers have been cut and welded, insulated and outfitted for a high quality but small & efficient 'hunting camp' adjacent a very large 'management area' also loaded w/large game from Boar to Deer, and the river always has plenty of fish. Remember, Jovan's right, You need to always have a 'plan B (& C & Ideally "D"!), however it (they) also need to be available to You if You need to 'bug out' in the 1st place. An EMP or other man-made/natural disaster after 3 yrs of biden is no longer an 'if', it's a When(!) and being prepared equates to being able to get to where You're off the grid, prepared here, there and in between. Travel across 19 states is less of a practical option if we don't have our own plane (and we don't). This parcel sure looks good to Me, but I already know the wife is going to say: "Wyoming"? Seriously? I've got 1 word for You, Mr............Brrrrrrrrrrr"! (and she'll be right. But if You love the cold, Wyoming is a lot of work, but certainly worth it, winter, summer, fall and spring)
Wow, we live about 450 miles directly east of Wheatland. We don't travel much or leave our rural bug-out home place unless absolutely necessary, but we might have to make a road trip to Wyoming sometime and see if we can find some of our birthstone, Peridot.
Is it just me or does this feel like an infomercial? Reminds me of Tucker interviewing Tulsi. No reason for it other than they used to work together and he's doing her a solid.

I love Wyoming! I spent a lot of time there! I’ve probably even been on the top of one of those mountains! That wind though!🤭
