I hate living in EU. Even if we have some national parks here, it will neve amount to what you americans have over there.

Do you go to the ones you have? How far do you drive for them?
American national parks look super fun and I would love to visit sometime, but if you haven't even tried the ones you have in europe, you are just larping about the grass on the other side and wouldn't go there if you actually lived there either.
And remember that americans have a different relationship with range, a "long drive" for a european is usually a normal or even short trip for most americans. It's much more normal for (especially rural) americans to drive long distances. The US is really fricking big, sometimes us europeans forget that. If I consider the ranges that americans are willing to drive suddenly I have multiple countries to choose from in the EU. Chances are inside those ranges there is at least some great PrepHole areas.
I live in germany, arguably one of the worse countries to live in for PrepHole shit, but I can drive to france, austria, italy or switzerland if I want civilized nature, or eastern europe if I want more wild nature and less settlements nearby. And of course there's some good spots within the country, too.
Once I realized that there's no reason I have to stay within national borders my options increased a lot.
But either way, go PrepHole, I am sure there's some good spots where you are. Larping just breeds misery. You can save some money while you do that here and eventually visit.

I used to drive 8 hrs one way just to go to the dispensary
I consider a two hour trip long. Where do you find the time? Take off from work or do you do it during weekends?
I love weed but what the frick man. Just grow your own at that point.
Guarantee he was driving to another state. That's the power of addiction.
>That's the power of addiction.
oh it's even more pathetic than that, weed isn't "neurochemically addictive" like cocaine, nicotine, or even caffeine, it's pure "WAAAA I need my green binky!" man-child psychological dependance.
Like I said, just grow it if that's your only option.
Depends on the National Park. There are plenty of small ones that are overrun by tourists and nowhere to camp. Makes me chuckle when people assume all national parks allow camping and they show up to the lot with all their shit only to have a park ranger let them know they're screwed.
Name a national park that doesn't allow camping.
>You: "NNOOO!!!! You can't sleep here!"
>Me: "I'm not sleeping here, I'm just carrying this stuff for a simulated hike. You're welcome to follow me around for the entire night"
Then after he leaves, proceed to clear an area of live green trees so I can have space for a campfire and activities.
>You: "NOOOO!! preservation!"
Country overrun by foreigners, not my people, I hope they inherit garbage.
>Country overrun by foreigners, not my people, I hope they inherit garbage.
This is why I poop in every stream, and I'll make sure my corpse ends up in a stream. I hope they get diseases and die.
>Country overrun by foreigners, not my people
Nature is more than just inheritance
I do live in the states though. I stopped reading there.
Amerigay here. Not to be an butthole, but do Eurogays not think Europe is superior in every way to the US? Also, I spent a year bicycling around Europe and had a blast. There's plenty of space to larp in if you look for it. Also, most of the land in the US is privately owned. If you live in the great state of Texas your options are to either play in the parking lot of your Black person infested apartment building or fly a thousand miles to a nat'l park.
National Park hiking is only a thing in certain states. Even with that, its a cucked experience in states like mass or CT, even if they have a ton of local spots.
Free men can enjoy parks in states like Michigan or Wisconsin.
Wisconsin. Go to Wisconsin
Michigan is full.
USFS is for low rules free men
NPS is for instagram dayhikes and shitpackers
>USFS is for low rules free men
Indeed. NPS is also only a tiny fraction of public land in the US, NPS manages 12.4% of US public land, while BLM and USFS manages 68.3% combined (and permitless dispersed camping is free on about 90% of that).
t. lives 5 miles from 5 million acres of unbroken national forest land
BLM and NPS are homosexuals. Their primary job is to keep my state in shackles so that the natives don't get restless and go off the reservation.
Black person, there are no National Parks in CT or MA, the only one in New England is Acadia in Maine
>Also, most of the land in the US is privately owned. If you live in the great state of Texas your options are to either play in the parking lot of your Black person infested apartment building or fly a thousand miles to a nat'l park.
This. All the nearest state parks seemed to be booked up for the next year. Frick this sucks
>Also, most of the land in the US is privately owned.
Just buy your own land?
Can I get a small loan of 300 milli
Of course goyi- I mean friend, only 10% interest!
Just a nitpick, but I went on the hike in that pic this year, it's amazingly beautiful. It is only partially in park lands, the rest is national forest, and I'd argue a lot of our most beautiful land is in national forests, including major parts of the North Cascades and the penninsula. We just haven't developed and chopped down everything like Euros have.
i can be at a place that looks exactly like that in 15min drive get fricked.
(OP)
i can be at a place that looks exactly like that in 15min drive and 3/4 day's hike, get fricked.
I live half a mile from 40,000 contiguous acres of county and national park.
EU has higher quality, more aesthetically interesting geography imo. US has more freedom to actually enjoy the outdoors though.
>EU has higher quality, more aesthetically interesting geography
define "quality". To me quality means wilderness...not just disneyland villages in the alps. US has way more interesting and diverse geography.
Americans fetishize wilderness because their villages look like shit.
The American government, municipal and state, has mostly made traditional construction arrangements illegal or prohibitively expensive. Additionally seismic challenges mean brick and masonry is generally unfeasible. All of this is compounded by an astounding lack of taste.
More to the point, though, Americans fetishize wilderness because there are far fewer Black folk there.
>because their villages look like shit.
Why the frick are you even on this board if you don't fetishize wilderness?
Glacier is nicknamed the North American Alps for a reason
Glacier really is something else, but it's 8 hours from Billings and that's in the same state.
8 hours from Billings isn't nearly far enough
Alaska is the final level for beauty
Based larp poster that doesn't know what he's talking about.
>Black folkpruce intensifies
He's right though. Alaska is gorgeous.
But he wouldn't know, and he never will :^)
Looks exactly like the Spanish Pyrenees. Quit whining.
Im sure that people who makes threads like this have never visited any national parks. I have enough parks in my own country and if i ever feel that i finally seen everything i would just drive to neighbor country.
Country or county? Anyway, the national park by me is actually the worst park around. So much money goes into it and it's nothing but huge fields with few windbreaks and some shitty artifacts, because God forbid they let the battlegrounds return to nature.
I live near Harz mountains in Germany and I got some pretty Kino out experience yesterday
Looks like a great 80s horror movie
drinking coffee on a deck and looking at the remains of a forest?
WTF I thought the trees would have grown back since WWI?
Is that still from the summer drought? Fricked up a lot of forests where I live a lot, might take another half year to year to get back to somewhat normal. Or is it logging?
Don't worry, euroanon, most Americans don't go PrepHole anyways and most of those who do go visit a national park spend less than a day there because it's just content for their social media.
And thank God for that, I already run into at least 2-4 people per day when I go out and I would hatr for that to be any higher. This is my land, everyone else can frick off.
WHY EVERYONE ALWAYS SHOWIN GTHIS ONE PICTURE FROM IDAHO?
Because there's only a handful of spots in the US where you can take a photo like that without having a microwave tower, road, or a dozen chinese hikers in the background.
Lol compared to every country in western Europe where all the infrastructure and civilization isn't ontop of itself because you have SO MUCH ROOM compared to the States.
Kek.
Idahoan here, actually this is Oregon right by the Idaho border in the wallowa Whitman national forest. I've fished every lake in that nature reserve and remember being at this one, but can't remember it's name.
In reality it's packed because it's like 7 miles from the nearest trailhead to the highway. This must be a long exposure shot.
Actually I'm a moron and I didn't read the file name, and was mistaking it for Maxwell lake Wich also has a little island like that. Sorry. Talking out my ass.
You got some pretty good hike/wilderness in Europe:
>GR 10 / GR 11 / HRP
>Tour du Mont Blanc
>Alta Via 1
>TFW you drive your pickup truck to your local National Park.
Natural areas where I live are small and anthropized but overall I feel blessed because being born here means that my parents didn't give my foreskin away at birth.
Why? Not like anyone besides you and your parents have seen it.
I'm not fond of receiving surgery without consent, losing penis sensitivity and moisture for the rest of my life, having the most sensitive part of it being scraped by clothes and being treated like a sacrifical lamb for insane religious people
Hmm, that image reminds me of something...
Just your imagination
>be bong
>game over
Oregon, may we be together in my dreams.
