Your Survival Guy’s Super States: #1 Wyoming

When Your Survival Guy was in fourth grade, I had to do a report on one of the 50 states. I chose Wyoming because I thought its square box shape was cool. Turns out, all these years later, I was on to something as Wyoming checks a lot of the boxes that matter to me, and I’m sure you too.

Here’s a sample of the items that matter to Your Survival Guy when it comes to picking a "Super State." Does the state restrict liberty by forcing residents to get things like "vaccine passports?" What about protections for the Second Amendment? And is the state treating its residents like a piggy bank? Those questions and more are what can make the difference in whether or not a state is "SUPER."

I have clients spread all over Wyoming from Jackson Hole, to the University of Wyoming, to small towns that are off the beaten path, to ranches that stretch out as far as the eye can see.

America’s Growth Corridors Outpace Lockdown States in Recovery

By

The governors of America’s “growth corridor” states have made economic recovery from the COVID-19 shutdowns a priority.

The United States Will Not Adopt a Vaccine Passport

By

January 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci: “If you look at the masks that you buy in a drug store, the leakage around that doesn’t really do much to protect you.

Our Political System (Thankfully) Biased Toward Small, Rural States

By

Writing for the Niskanen Institute, Robert Saldin explains that the American political system is biased toward small rural states. The Founders did that on purpose.
