You sir are the sane one, I love the far north but the people who live there and tell themselves its worth those extremes because of extra space and scenery....... its just not. Lower places in Canada and the continental US offer more than enough rugged extremely dramatic beautiful wilderness while not having those absurd conditions. North America in general is so vast and empty, why go so far north when you have the entirety of southern Canada and the massive US to live in.

@@turkey4957 In June 1988 I drove from north Idaho to Anchorage. Really enjoyed Canada & Canadians.

Yeah I dont get the canada vibe at all around here

Bugs are bad in summer though when you actually try to go out in the woods and the temps are so bad in the winter how can you really enjoy the area? I was there in the summer for just a week and it was extremely buggy and nasty outside of the paved areas of the city.

Yeah the bugs are brutal in the summer and its colder than hell most of the rest of the year. Been there and it was amazing but moving there alone would be wild

@Michael WhitewolfWell...he said 2 hours was his commute in Ontario! Not in Yellowknife

That was the commute in Ontario you can get across Yellowknife in 10 mins

my guess is he SPLIT

@Ben TurnerSmall town with long winters and short spring/summer, stay out of the downtown area (full of drunks and drug dealers). Not much around unless you like the nature and views, kinda wish they have a arcade or bigger mall (kinda sad). Most people are nice and friendly but we do have some bad apples.

Amy Jane it’s so beautiful u were not not living in Yellowknife then

So idc if it’s bad I got friends here to keep me busy(wifi too)

Ben Turner it is cold and sunny and a lot of people

Hey, it’s legal 🤷‍♂️

thecanadianguy 1423 where do you live now

Where do u live now

BlackdogGS No most people have 2 day weekends. That schedule is very very specific to certain occupations that are quite rare in Canada.

This is the same practice used with New Mexico and North Dakota oil and mining jobs.

cadengamer 226 sorry for the late reply i didnt realize i had comments on this video! Housing can be expensive and food is a bit more costly but most of the pay rates even it out....plus we receive a northern living allowance and travel subsidy

@@lisakedian-artist8897 nice and helpful reply! I'm comfortable in moderate temps, but British Columbia, I would reconsider. I'm south of your border. New Mexico is a more realistic move for me.

cadengamer226 nope it is expensive

@@topturn9653 New Mexico is a beautiful and fantastic place to start a life Top Turn, very cheap and vast space, it is still growing too unlike Arizona which is already full of tourists and people who moved from California. New Mexico is arguably the most empty of the true "SW" states

Eddie Vedder Hard sun

Pearl jam

Reee Roberts mine too

Mish Mash thanks i made this a couple years ago i didnt realize i had views lol its a fairly small city it can be expensive but the payrates make up for it...there is also the northern living allowance its not for everyone but a great experience all the same.

Sounds like a great place to live!

Me to

WhoUgunnaCall me to

Well then Yellowknife is not for you but it’s beauty is sooo amazing

Yeah they should have said, I assume he's in the mining or oil industry because they often do schedules like that, 10 days on 10 days off. Only type of work I've heard of that's like that. They have the same thing with oil workers in New Mexico and North Dakota in the US, chunk of time on, chunk of time off instead of a 5 day on 2 day off week. The remote location and the fact its hard to get people there balances things out and makes the employers have to allow more freedom to keep people happy and in that far off place I assume

I'm an introvert that loves the cold. There you go.

@@thecloudyfox That statement is kinda a contradiction. How do you enjoy the cold if your inside all the time? And why move someplace new if you never get out/meet new people?

@@zfilmmaker I like going outside specifically where there's no people. And yeah, I don't go outside much, but when I do, I like it to be pretty cold. I'd be the guy who somehow manages to meet less than 10-20 people yet figures out how to get it to work with just that.

zfilmmaker oh trust me it does Yellowknife is amazing and so beautiful wouldn’t give it up for the world

Yeah the way this guy tried to divert the attention away from and minimize the winter conditions was laughable and blatantly incorrect. Its so obvious people like this TRY to convince themselves its not that bad and it's just like a normal Canadian or US winter when its nothing close. 18-19 hours+ of darkness in mid winter.

I was there in August of 2019 and I had purchased mine in Edmonton before heading north...... so I wasn't exactly looking when in YK but they must have at least one or two federal dispensaries. I imagine its in low supply as far as under the table purchasing, as its a rough place to pull off big grows

Hey am moving there soon from Kenya if you still there I would like a friend.

Sameeee

Hey jeni.. I am planning to move to Yellowknife, All the way from Pakistan, I need some guidance, Please lemme know if you can gimme your Email.. Thanks..

@@purity3776 Hey. I am also moving there soon. I would also like to have a friend over there..

Wrong!

I’ve read they get lots of horseflies

Completely wrong the mosquitos are our best friends

Are you joking? Anywhere far north in Canada in the summer have some of the worst bug intensities in the world

Christopher Herrera you must be from California, invite him to Sacramento, or LA y’all love them fuckers down there 😂

Quiet Evenings it’s the truth

Michaeljohn yes!

Heya, you accept Germans? I'm sick of my country :D

M Gr Germans are ok, you can come if you learn English 😂
