Why do people think you need to go somewhere far away for "real out"? I go to random suburban parks near me that are just undeveloped forests or swamps and I have seen literally nobody in these places.

>>2785546Because I don't want to see or hear any evidence of human industry.
>>2785546Make the most of what you got...aint nothing wrong with that. I used to live in a city but new all the parks and back trails and cool spots to hang that were easily accessible by bike
>>2785546Because you don't yet know how real /out/ feels.
>>2785546I think those areas are great. I'm not a camper. I like to fish and walk. When I'm in an undeveloped suburb, I get great reception, which is nice. Sadly, my area is getting developed at record speed. It used to be a nice small city, but now, with the same amount of utilities, it has way more people.
>>2785546It's full of trash and dog walkers (redundant, I know).

>>2785546So I went to the edge of my metro area (about 40 minutes from work) to buy my house. It's not "the wilderness," but there is undeveloped forest behind my subdivision and, aside from my neighborhood, which is about a hundred basic $200-250k-range houses on 1/3 acre lots, the majority of the housing nearby are on 6-60 acre lots. Some are high-end homes, while others are prefabs. There are pros and cons to this. Main con is I'm so far from my work, so my commute sucks.>pro: very close to "nature">con:still need to go to state parks to go hiking, since all the nearby nature is private property>pro: in my county, if you have enough land, you can shoot guns on your property>con: the houses that have enough land to shoot on start at around $350k, which I couldn't afford, although there are good shooting clubs within 5 minutes>pro: my back yard is undeveloped and backs to undeveloped forest>con:trees do fall in the forest, all the time (I heard one fall earlier today), which can take out a section of your fence or hit your home>pro:my neighbors generally aren't the kind of nosy, litigious assholes you find in the city, and there are no jews and almost no blacks in the area (so I never smell weed)>con:low class whites absolutely love to smoke cigarettes--and if they learned in a trailer park, someone will be out on their back porch smoking 24/7
