I was born in Ontonagon in the western UP and grew up on what had been a farmstead near Bruces Crossing. There were 6 of us kids, 3 boys and 3 of us girls, and we knew quite a bit about saunas, deer hunting, cold, pasties (we learned that pasties originated with miners from Cornwall and the Finns and others had adopted this food when they became copper and iron ore miners in the U.S.), poverty and lack of pretension. Thanks for the video--lots of fun. Lauren Waters
"The bridge passes over where Lake Michigan and Lake Eerie collide." WRONG!! It's Lake Michigan and Lake HURON! Lake Eerie does not even touch Michigan....
@killerkillba Well if you'd actually READ the other comments I corrected myself a year ago. Don't call people "dumbfucks" either. Makes you look like stupid because you can't correct someone without sounding like a neanderthal :-)
Great video! I just got back from Ironwood for my Xmas vacation.. Skied at Blackjack and Indianhead, ate pasties, snowshoed, climbed Copper Peak, and bar hopped in Hurley, WI.. It was an intense yooper experience!
Great video on da UP ay. I am to from da UP and love see'n video's of my home place - Munising :)
But on a realistic note, I really liked your video of the UP. Even though there were a couple of mishaps (like the lakes meeting at the bridge, that you pointed out), I hope you aced this assignment 'cause this was very creative and enjoying !! Good work :)
the pasty wasnt created for finnish miners...but rather the cornish brought the tradition from cornwall england...and thus the saying gos..."the cornish created the pasty and its the finns who perfected it" good video though : ) just had to correct the pasty bit, on a related note-contrary to some restaurants in the Yoop serving gravy with there pasty,that is a no no to a yooper!! just say no to gravy ; )
get over it. I'm a yooper. I was born and raised. There was nothing at all offensive about this video. She was trying to explain to people that we are just like any other American. And yes, becaues of our location, our lives and the things we do are completely different from say someone who lives in Miami Florida. I thought the video was good.
i dont find it offensive at all. I'm a Yooper, my only complaint is, you didnt stop in Ironwood Michigan where I'm from. Western most city in Michigan. :-) Cool project!
haha great video! I moved to Colorado 2 months ago, and It makes me miss MIchigan even more than I already did, and Im from the lower penninsula! A co-worker of mine is very intrigued by the "yooper". He asks me questions about the UP every day. Im gonna have to take him there some day!

You can usually find them at a bar drinking cheap beer. Do not look for them at the Job office, because Yoopers never ever work! Lazy and stupid that is the hallmark of Yoopers. Pasties will make you vomit!
Great job on the vid! Gots to luv dem yoopers, oh yah! Esky is great town to visit!!!

@jenchapple89 Lake Erie DOES touch Michigan, from the mouth of the Detroit River to the Ohio line. That's about 40 miles.

I take it you didn't hear that last couple of lines, where it says that yoopers are regular people living in a beautiful winter playground.
I'm not a yooper, but my family is, and I'm jealous of them.
