its hard, summers are awful unless you are on a river, even then its rough with all the snakes and spiders and bugs. winter camping in Texas is pretty fun though, its cold enough for all the bullshit to hibernate or die and still warm enough with the sun to go swimming and do other out things.
I'm a born texan and have been camping since I was a kid. Going PrepHole in almost any other state is a fricking breeze. I'm too much of a pussy to go into grizzly country or something insane like Alaskan winter camping, but god damn every other PrepHoleist I've met is a fricking pussy. Can't handle heat, can't handle cold, scared to death of snakes, don't know their poisonous plants, don't know how to tread lightly, can't walk through a river. Texas really is a fricking wild state for PrepHole.
I’d really like to see a breakdown of states ranked by public land per capita of white people only. Not to sound like a /misc/ Chud or whatever, but that really is the only metric that counts, as outdoor recreation is a very white hobby. Texas may have a small percentage of public space but it’s a huge area. It ranks 20th in total area of federal and state land, but near the bottom percentage wise. Its population is high, but there are a lot of non-whites who don’t go out.
Texas has a metric shit ton of parks but they're all tiny and typically reserved for beaner-swimming and annoying family parties. If you want to get into PrepHole in Texas you pretty much have to be stealthy or join camping clubs to get access to private land.
Yes, it’s very common. They don’t have money for a matching bass boat and trailer but the cost to fish from the bank is pretty low. It’s even fairly common within Southern cities to see blacks fishing in various waterways.
I'd bet Nevada wins there, decent-sized state that's practically all federal land, is in the bottom 10 states for population density, and is only half white. The only question for me is how much of that federal land is actually public and how much is closed military ranges etc.
>The only question for me is how much of that federal land is actually public and how much is closed military ranges etc
The majority of it is publicly accessible. There are more bombing ranges and weapons testing ranges than people think, but they don't take up enough land to truly be a problem. I know the people in Fallon threw a tantrum when the Navy wanted to expand its range but who gives a shit. If the Navy took an entire valley, there would be a dozen more just like it for you to explore.
That makes sense. I know parts of NV, seriously considered moving to the Carson Valley for a while (may still try but Bay Area work from home richgays have fricked the housing market) and spent some time there so I know how much public land is around that area, wasn't sure about further into the middle of the state with Nellis, NTTR, etc. though.
>wasn't sure about further into the middle of the state with Nellis, NTTR, etc. though
If you thought that the public land around the Carson Valley was cool, the rest of the state's public land access puts it to shame, and that's saying something. Especially the central portion of the state. There are bombing ranges and surprise Air Force bases hidden in plain sight in the desolate unpopulated areas out there, places that no anon on this board would even know the name of.
I currently live in the Carson Valley. I was born here, and I've lived in various parts of Northern Nevada. Bay Area transplants have absolutely fricked the real estate market. If you want to experience the Carson Valley, this is the only time to do it. This is already the beginning of the end of it. This is my favorite place in the world to live, and I will be sad when I move away, but I refuse to live in an overly-urbanized crime-ridden metropolitan shithole. They did it to Reno, they are doing it to Carson City, they will do it to Gardnerville and the surrounding area. I would strongly encourage you to move here and enjoy it before it's completely shot to shit.
Yeah I'm still gonna try when I'm ready to move. It's a bit tough though, because the main reason I'm trying to go there is to do pilot training with the High Sierra Flying Club at Carson + Minden airports and I've got money saved up to cover that, but really struggling to find anybody there who'll rent me an apartment without proof of income, even if I offer to pay 6 months or a year up front.

I am thinking of taking my van to Texas for the eclipse.
Any cool spots where I can do dispersed camping and not be run off?
Or maybe a city where I can park overnight on the street?
How is Texas for van folk?
No, I mean yuppie with a paid off house, a rental, and a nice van for travel so I can do dope out shit and never pay for a hotel room.
I wake up at the trailhead
At the lake
At the event
You wake up early in a hotel then drive your rental car to get breakfast and then finally get there late when I have already been fishing for an hour.
>yuppie with a paid off house, a rental, and a nice van for travel so I can do dope out shit and never pay for a hotel room.
That's not really a thing.
Trust fund babbies or boomers. Usually dentists, doctors, or some other boomer that was a manager for thirty years and retired with a pension that could rival PERS.
It isn't certainly isn't some autist larping on PrepHole's outdoor board (You).

I live in a nice part of the LA area and these people are fricking EVERYWHERE here. They're all the same, 25-40 year old trust fund kids of Midwestern property developers or car dealership owners or whatever, all vegan whole foods shoppers, and all obsessed with dressing up in designer PrepHole gear to go walk on a glorified fire (Runyon Canyon etc.) road every weekend, and expensive #vanlife rigs are fricking everywhere, nobody actually lives in them but you'll rarely find a block in a nice neighborhood that doesn't have at least one or two kitted out Sprinters or Transits with rooftop A/Cs etc. parked in driveways.

Not really odd, it's one of the biggest LARP state that prefers to believe in their fantasy image of themselves while in reality everything has been signed over to wealthy elites anyway
This thread again?
Yes. It’s eternal
america was a mistake
Cope
everyday until you like it
or until texans decides to be less homosexual, whichever happens first

>just go swimming in Texas during the winter.
Non-Texan spotted. Please stay in the Midwest or whatever.
ive been in San Antonio my whole life anon...
fall spring temps with that hot ass sun is perfect for swimming...
Is it true Victoria is a secret there?
That's because you guys are literal morons in everything winter.
You’re the one who wants to go swimming during a winter season that killed hundreds of people.

Do black people go fishing much in the south? I heard they like catfish
Yes, it’s very common. They don’t have money for a matching bass boat and trailer but the cost to fish from the bank is pretty low. It’s even fairly common within Southern cities to see blacks fishing in various waterways.
>be Chud
>go fishing
>see black guy
>day ruined
Do they hold the rod sideways?

I'm from Nevada. The vast majority is public.

In your head maybe , but in the real world its pretty common.
Who do you think is buying all the high end 4x4 sprinter van conversions? Vagrants?

Frickin' A you annihilated that goofball.
Wouldn't a plains state like Kansas be worse

I cant wait to leave Texas. I am moving to Arkansas in a year so I can actually afford to live and enjoy outdoor shit.
I'm tempted to leave as well. Texas is a fricking joke and nothing like how it's portrayed to be. It was nice once but those times are long gone.
yeah you cant even smoke weed
