Is it accurate?
>>2788134Let me guess you live in Texas?
I like the amount of nature in Florida even though it's very urban there's a lot of trails and stuff everywhere. It's kind of boring because there's not much seasonal change. New England is nice too because of the seasons you get hot and humid summer weather, cool breezy fall, and winter is kind of variable now, if it's above freezing it's icy but wet, if it's below it's nicer. Spring is just like mud and dead grass until May.
With cuts to the UAS, a lot of those positives will likely be dipping by two points within the year.>California If you like long, moderate-strenuous hikes and mountain scrambles then this is the place for you. Enjoy these areas before they eventually catch fire and close. And when they re-open, you can scramble over the fire damage no one is going to maintain.A lot of non strenuous hiking trails are overgrown and graffitoed, mostly serving as bait for paint huffers, thieves, and bluetooth speaker bro's.
>>2788204Hasn't most of California'd wilderness burned down already
ah yes my favorite thread :^)
>>2788207No, but some good chunks of norcal were fucked throughout summer. There's still a lot of good desert spots that get overlooked because "zomg it's hot you guys."
I’m flattered that my home state is one point above minnesota, michigan, and south dakota, but I don’t really see whyI guess it does have some cool cliffs on the lake michigan and lake superior coasts
>>27881071+ months of /out/ activities in: CA, OR, UT, NV, NC, WV, NH, ME, TN, VA.1+ weeks of /out/ stuff in WA, ID, MA, PA.Yes, this is very accurate from what I've seen. California would be a 10 if it had the population density of Wyoming.
>>2788304>the 111th largest National Forest in the US>a couple square miles with some interesting topography and a bunch of tourists>a canyon 300 feet deep and a mile longAlmost every state has all of these or better>White tail deer capitalThe ones in that region are bigger, and I'm sure that's part of why it's a 1 and not a 0, but every state in the lower 48 has whitetail deer. It's not particularly special.
>>2788308Forgot 1+ month in AZ and CO and 1+ week in NM
>>2788107ah, yes, the literal bait thread, containing the image that was literally made as a joke, that is continually reposted asking if its "legit"how about you get some new material?maybe remake the image, but not as bait?oh, wait, you don't go /out/, so you wouldn't know where to start...
>>2788107Kansas has free campgrounds in almost every county, often near a beautiful lake. Zero my ass.Michigan and Minnesota are better than Wisconsin.Why are North and South Dakota so high? The Black Hills and Badlands are only a small portion of the state at large. North and South Carolina should both get bumped down a point.Pennsylvania has great wild spaces, mostly state forest.
>>2788107arkansas and missouri both have some decent long distance trails. the canoeing in arkansas though is legit. makes it a 6 minimum for me
>>2788107It's very accurate, only east copers disagree.
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California and Alaska : 10Everything else: If you find the right spots it's a 10There you go, it's been answered. You can stop being autistic now.
>>2788362I'd say Arkansas is a generous 3
>>2788107your spindly ass ankles couldn't handle hiking the northeast
>>2788406Brugly chill your "mountains" are like 6k feet tall
>>2788406Even if we take that as fact, how does "easier to break an ankle" in any way make for better /out/ lmao?
>>2788428It doesn't.
>>2788107California is a hard 4 imo
>>2788762Cope
>>2788107texas has some good parks, it's just the campers here that suckcamping is considered a family activity and cheap vacation option here in texasthis means every park is filled with a hoard of retards
>>2789347>this means every park is filled with a hoard of retardsI have yet to find a camp ground where this isn't the case.
>>2789349it's simpleit doesn't existin texas at least
>>2788107there's a lot wrong if you look at the fine details but the big picture it paints is accurate.my fixes:hawaii increased to 6.5california decreased to 7.5washington and oregon increased to 8montana increased to 8.5alaska increased to 9michigan might deserve to be bumped up slightlyflorida deserves a bump the hiking isn't great but the other /out/ shit to do there is being under valued
>>2788762most of california is mids but it also has some of the best /out/ in the country. big state.
What are the best small to medium size towns in appalachia to be centrally located to a lot of great out stuff?
>>2789369There's no way California is below Montana, let alone Washington or Oregon which are both basically smaller subsets of what California is.
>>2789373washington is the only state in the country with every biome on earth in its borders. there's no way california comes close i've spent a lot of time in both.
>>2789374>every biome on earth in its bordersThis is lazy bait Tbh
>>2788107Lmao, it shit is about as accurate as /k/'s camo maps.
>>2789498Camo map?
>>2788107So this person thinks the entire AT averages about a 2?
>>2789582He's not wrong
>>2789582you are embarrassingly bad at math>>2789592you have shit taste
>>2789592Debatable.When I would go hiking in Western Pennsylvania, the rolling hills and dense forests would create an environment where you could walk just 10 minutes from a trailhead and feel like you were in the middle of nowhere because the vegetation would completely block out the sights and sounds around you. It is like you would be enveloped in nature, even if you were just 40 minutes from the city. In Southern California, most of the vegetation is shrubs that don't block the sights and sounds of society. Nothing is more anticlimactic than hiking for 2 hours and still just seeing strip malls and highways in every direction. You can do better if you take a long ass drive into the forests that are more elevated, but even then you have to deal with...1. Hoping that it isn't on fire2. Sharing the trail with an army of loud ass people hiking too, even worse if they are rocking a Bluetooth speaker or trying to get shots for the 'gram3. Methheads smashing into your car and taking everything.I get that people enjoy the variety of things you can do in CA, "You can ski and surf in the same day...yada yada" but as someone who enjoys the feeling of solitude on a long ass hike, that is not something I can find in this state. Maybe I just don't value what other people value...
>>2789647>2.Head out into the mountains where there's no cell signal. If you see anyone else it's likely they'll be solo as well and not bother you.>3.I've left my car parked on the side of the road near some very sketchy trailheads and nothing happened. Just don't leave expensive shit and credit cards inside. That's what they're after. Leave the the glove box and center console open to reveal nothing of value if they case your car.
>>2789647Yeah, I'm a SoCal native, have also lived in NorCal, and now in Central Oregon. CA has some absolutely spectacular /out/ but I think people really fail to consider how inaccessible it is if you live in one of the major cities. There are places that are awesome for a multi-day camping trip where you can justify a 4+ hour drive but if you just want to do a day hike or an overnight, most of what's in reasonable range is pretty mid, especially because of traffic, and a lot of the better stuff is also overcrowded to the point of ruining the experience. I think giving CA an 8 but OR a 7 on the OP map is unfair, they're at least even because while OR may not quite match the best of the best CA locations it makes up for it in how much more densely packed it is with good /out/, I'm in Bend and I've got a huge diversity of really good /out/ places within an hour and a lot of them are totally deserted outside peak tourist season. I'm much happier having the quality of skiing we do here than the supposed SoCal alternative of spending an hour at dogshit Big Bear or Mountain High and then driving all day in traffic to make it to a dirty cold beach filled with bums and and tourists by sunset too. (Incidentally in 30+ years in LA I never once encountered anybody who'd actually tried to do it either, anybody local knows how ridiculous and miserable it'd be to try.)
>>2789674>Yeah, I'm a SoCal native, have also lived in NorCal, and now in Central Oregon.You transplants make me livid.
>>2789670As for your first point, yeah, my preferred destination is Idyllwild. Originally I went up there because my wife's parents live by Indio and we used to visit them often. My mother-in-law also likes to hike, but the desert is fucking brutal in summer. So we drove up the mountain to Idyllwild and its cooler, plus it has more trees and wildlife to check out than the desert does. Overall, it's a chill spot and a decent little weekend getaway town, but from LA, it's a 2 to 3 hour drive, depending on traffic. Point 2, I follow the rules of the city, keeping nothing visible and nothing I'm not willing to lose in the car. Plus my car is a piece of shit, so they will probably hit someone else. This logistically can make hiking a pain in the ass, though. >>2789674You are right, CA has a lot to offer, but it is not very accessible. If you live in LA and want to go to Yosemite, that is a 4.5 to 5-hour drive. By comparison, on the East Coast, if you were living in the NYC area, a 4.5-hour drive could take you to spots in CT, RI, MA, NH, VT, ME, upstate NY, PA, NJ, DE, MD, and VA. CA is big as fuck, and as such, it has a lot to offer, but you need a lot of spare time and a lot of gas to access it. The next time I move, I am going to look for a city that has a lot of accessible trails with good foliage near them. I am getting sick of sitting in traffic for a combined 3 hours, just to go on a 2 hour hike lol
>>2788107Maine should be the lowest score. It sucks, don't go there
>>2789682>Indio>the desert is fucking brutal in summerDefinitely. I grew up in Imperial county so the heat doesn't bother me all that much. A lot of people won't hike in high heat, but I'm the opposite. I'm all over hot weather, but I'll sit it from late fall until DST kicks in. I love the heat.
>>2789647Yeah nah brugly, not reading allat
PA bros...t. Northwest PA tard. lot of forests, lakes, and streams
>>2789703you need to get off the internet for a few weeks to fix your attention span
>>2789647>you could walk just 10 minutes from a trailhead and feel like you were in the middle of nowhere because the vegetation would completely block out the sights and sounds around youits like that in the rockies too. Although, often the trailhead is in the middle of no where already so its not hard lol.
>>2789689its filled with dipshits who think "bushcrafting" makes them cool
>>2789689>>2789750this "fuck off we're fuck" stuff always makes me want to go
>>2789753full*
>>2789753Maine is full of massholes, that should be enough of a deterrent. Acadia was cool though. Everyone should visit.
>>2789925even the small towns up north?
>>2789750It does.
>>2789928They pass through for tourism but don't stick around.
>>2788107The UP deserves its own score separate from lower mishyUP alone is easily a 7
>>2789978It's all one state bruh.
>>2789960It doesn't* Bushcraft is a cringe larp
>>2789675We had 10 times the transplant problem any state does now, prior to covid when the flow reversed, so I get it. I try not to be one of the obnoxious ones. Honestly though here in Bend the worst people I encounter are the Portland refugees, they're the only ones that bitch about Bend not being like where they came from and push to turn it into another shithole, most of the out of state people are more like "fuck that, I left because of that bullshit.'
>>2789980Don't care. It.Deserves.A separate.SCORE.
>>2789682You say Yosemite is 4.5 hrs away like it's the only thing within that range? A 4.5 hrs driving circle of la has more acres of public land than one of NYC, many more acres of wilderness, and many more different biomes. I'm not advocating for living in LA it's shit but its also shit to pretend that there are more things to access from NYC just because its in different states
>>2790106Nope
>>2790114You can get to some beautiful parts of pa in 4.5 hours from nyc, philly, or bmore - they call them the endless mountains for a reason
I'm the original creator of this map, I made it very shortly after the creation of this board which has to have been almost 10 years ago at this point. The fact it still gets posted should make it obvious it's quite accurate. There's not much I'd change at this point, I think the great lakes states are maybe a bit too high, Ozarks/Appalachia bit too low, Vermont/NH too high, PA could go to 3, it's all decently close though. If you only like to do one thing, sure the numbers could be different. If you are only into hiking for instance, Florida would be a zero, but the map is about all outdoor activities, hunting, boating, climbing, OHVs, and freedom to do it (public land).
>>2790118>pa>3Ask how I know you have no idea what the endless mountains are.
>>2790119I can think of some endless mountains, Rockies, Sierra Nevadas, Cascades. If you mean "Endless Mountains", a uniform area of a hills that are highly populated and majority privately owned, I am aware of that area yes but would not rate it highly in comparison to actual mountains.
>>2790121They are absolutely not highly populated and many of them are public land.
>>2790118Actually, I'm the original creator of this map. I say that Wisconsin should now be a 10.
>>2790121Kek nuclear response
Depends what you're looking for. I think the west has better mountains, but the east has better forests
>>2790135The east has more luscious hills. If you are obsessed with numbers and bragging, the west is for you.
>>2790119Every western state has a dozen areas larger, more rugged, and more sparsely populated than the endless mountains
>>2790137As i said, if all you desire is numbers, competition, and bragging, the west is for you. If you prefer quality, head east.
>>2790136>>2790140>if you want something quantifiable, the west is better >if you want the magic property only I know and can't explain though, the east is better >source: me, someone who lives there and is butthurt
>>2790149Not needing a permit that’s only good for one day to do a hike is nice.
>>2790151>thinks he can correctly score states>has never been anywhere or done anything You should be happy that the place you think is great is actually a 2, imagine all the actually good stuff you have to explore. Never understood this attitude. The best outdoor states aren't the best places to live necessarily anyway, I wouldn't want to live in Utah but it's my personal favorite place to go /out/
>>2790155I’ve been places.
>>2790149There won't be a good response to this. They will only seethe.
>>2790185nice quiet forests, beautiful forests with lots of different colors, a variety of shapes from jagged peaks to rolling hills to more trapezoidal shapes. Getting to watch the colors change and the seasons go by.
>>2790187>nice quiet forests, beautiful forests with lots of different colors, a variety of shapes from jagged peaks to rolling hills to more trapezoidal shapes. Getting to watch the colors change and the seasons go by.But enough about the Rockies
>>2790189There’s more water to play with in the east.
>>2788107>ND higher than TN and OKND might have better fishing that's about it, OK at 0 is retarded
>>2790119>>2790140I have roots in PA (near Scranton) and cherished memories of going there as a kid but for me it just can't compete with the majesty and drama of western mountains. The whole visual of jagged peaks towering above high desert plains really gets my sense of adventure going in a way the ones of the East don't.
>>2790198t. stuck in bend cuz his parents are there for retirement
>>2790189Kek you fucking killed him
>>2790201Yeah, I'm that anon. I would have told them to fuck off if it were somewhere I wasn't alright with being though, and everywhere else I was looking at when I didn't think my folks were going to be a factor was also in the PNW or mountain west and I'm probably going to stay in that region when I move on after 2-3 years. (Really wanna do Alaska but that's a big move.)
>>2790164>the susquanana guylol
>>2790190there is more snow to play with in the west
>>2790347Have fun hiking through knee deep snow into July!
>>2790351Not compared to the UP. Sault Ste Marie usually tops charts for snowiest US city.
>>2790386>Sault Ste Marie averages 120 inches of snow per year>Mt Baker in WA averages 688 inchesok

Nj is 3-4 minimum and that’s me lowballing
>>2791453NJ is a 1 and that's a hard 1 at that.
>>2791457Highest amount of public forest east of the Mississippi
>>2791460Highest population density in the US.
>>2788385There's mountains, sorta. You can wander up big hills in the Ozarks, but the best time to go is when the color change in the fall starts. Like the other anon said it's also a great place to canoe. You just won't have New Mexico vistas.
>>2791541entirely in the north east and center east of the state. all forest have been untouched. the density just replaced the existing farmland.see for yourself:https://newjersey.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/media/index.html?appid=fcad50ae41634cd1aa293e3e47ce1c00northwest and entire south of the state is literally untouched and hasn't changed in 100 years

>>2791894ok do it for public forests not public land. why is when you're sources dont match the exact wording you give its ok but when i do it its the greatest sin ever committed.also nj has less overall landmass than both of those states so of course it would have less acres, do it. by percentages as well.have you ever lived in nj?

>>2788107Here's my informal Canada /out/ map based on provinces I've visited:>British ColumbiaPeak /out/ incredible coastline, temperate rainforest, mountains, extensive wilderness>AlbertaMixed bag; Rocky Mountains and foothills are incredible for outdoorsmanship, the prairies are meh>SaskatchewanMeh, mostly cropfields and a few grasslands>OntarioIt's alright, pretty comparable to US midwest inland East Coast, very similar to upstate New York>QuebecA bit better than Ontario due to mountains; some parts resemble Adirondacks in terms of geography and climate>Nova ScotiaHighly underrated; Cabot Trail and Cape Breton National Park are incredible with amazing hikes and coastline, but not as impressive as BC>PEIIt's alright, PEI National Park is basically a long beach and it's pretty nice, the island itself is mostly hilly farmland>New BrunswickHas a few nice spots, especially along Bay of Fundy, inland is nothing special, mostly cropfields and shitty towns.Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
>>2793645Alberta needs to be lowerQuebec needs to be higher
>>2793645I've been to Flin Flon in Northern Manitoba. That's the end of an 8 hour car ride through the most unpopulated wilderness I've ever been in. You get lost up there, it's literally 1000 miles from everywhere. You'll be long dead before you ever walk out. For the sheer remoteness of it, that's 11 out of 10.
>>2788107It’s crazy that there was a time when /out/ would produce new memes instead of just constantly recycling old ones.
>>2793763The Alaska schizo earlier who got banned was right. This board is dead and this thread is for faggots jerking each other off about useless and simple information.
>>2790114Within 4.5 hours of NYC you can be in upstate NY, central PA, northern VA, MD, CT, even MA. Plenty of hiking in those spots.I will agree that LA has more public land, but most of that is barren BLM land that people just use for shooting or illegally dumping garbage. Not something you would want to go hiking through.
>>2794044>New York is a better megacity to live in than Los Angeles if you like hiking in lush, deciduous forestssure>New York is a better /out/ state than Californiano
>>2794046California is literally the best out state, Alaska is a close second.
>>2794044>he doesn't go out in WSAs on BLM landAlso shooting is an out activity and access to do it should be part of any rating
>>2794432Tell me you don't travel without telling me.
>>2788107Bump
Montana, West Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado and California from what I've seen had the best viewsI agree California is overcrowded though and most people don't like that
>>2795706Idaho?
>>2795736Bumping a quality discussion
What retard gave Missouri and Arkansas a 3 but Tennessee a 2?Also>California somehow is on par with Montana and Idaho>Alaska is only 8.5>Nevada being anywhere close to 6>Arizona is only a 6.5>Florida is a 4 but Mississippi and Louisiana are 2s>Iowa is a 0 but Indiana and Ohio are 1s
AL could be higher.
>>2798149It couldn't.
>>2791861What does this mean?
>>2788207That's literally the cycle that the local flora and fauna need to properly propagate. Wiki: Fire Ecology
>>2791890A big percentage of small is still small
>>2800049wrong and thats not the context of the conversation/statement
>>2800051>wronglol
>>2788107No. NV is at minimum a solid 8. Anyone who says its less, has never been the Nevada. If you know the right spots, you are legitimately 30-60 min away from any outdoor activity you can possibly think of bar ice fishing probably could but i would not. But nevada has some of the most beautiful HikingBikingOffroad4x4Single track for dirt bikesCampingShootingHuntingWater skiing Snow boarding/skiing Anything you can really think of.Also the beauty of the desert especially at night is one that can only be experienced.
