Hey out.
Sorry if this is a super pedantic thread for this board, but I have been getting into camping and I am having a problem. I don't know WHERE to camp and hike. I live on a farm and I have practiced at lighting a fire and scavenging, and I spend a couple of nights in the backyard with nothing I can't fit in a pack. I have gone actually camping twice, but both times it fucking sucked. I went to the shenandoah national park, and they have some super bootlicking checkin process and don't allow campfires or hatchets or allow you to spend very long out there. Also its impossible to get more than a couple of miles from the road and the park is surrounded by highways and gas stations/houses/bullshit. The other time I went on the Appalachian trail in south-central PA. It also sucked and was nothing more than a trail through peoples backyards, ended up camping in what was probably someones front yard because it was so late. Where does one actually just go out and hike/camp? Or is that like even possible in the modern day? Are there even real forests left? Or is it all that fakengay?
