So you want to move to Montana? 1207bmiller has created a video offering some insight. The premise: a young man has accepted a job to open the very first Starbucks in Montana, and his co-worker offers some cautions, including:
- there is no electricity in Montana
- there are no paved roads in Montana
- everyone uses an outhouse in Montana
- everyone lives in a log cabin
- the Abominable Snowman kills 30 people every year in Montana
- popular pastimes in Montana include: milking cows and kitty-cats; forming anti-government militias; drinking whiskey by the gallon
Thanks to my friends Erin and Craig for sharing this with me!

Yes. Yes. All true.
They did not mention that you must turn in your car at the border and hire a horse or mule to get around.
We should make this required viewing for all out-of-staters (I’m looking at you, California) thinking about moving to Montana.
