Protip you can't
>>
Bragging about best /out/ states is counterintuitive, you want more influencer retards shitting up your state or something?
>>
>>2838012
Ask the Arizona autist
>>
>>2838028
Tbh the /out/ing in Arizona is just on another level. I'd say California is up there too, but California has whacky laws and I get tired of dealing with them. There are a few /out/ states that just aren't compatible to all the others, and Arizona and California definitely make the list. Florida and Wyoming too.
>>
>>2838012
Most every other western state
>>
>>2838012
New Mexico is severely underrated in this regard
>>
>>2838072
It's surprising that New Mexico has a greater percentage of public land than Colorado.

new mexanon here, they're already here but santa fe & taos act as containment zones. there's almost no housing or jobs plus the benefit of intentional obfuscation and hostile, tight-knit culture. time in the backcountry requires a little time planning with paper maps and the lack of guardrails and ranger supervision scares a lot of people
>>
>>2838200
>the lack of guardrails and ranger supervision scares a lot of people
So it's the exact same as: Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Alaska?
>>
>>2838126

lol. Montana is better than wyoming.
>>
>>2838214
The answer is that you're asking the wrong questions. You demonstrate a critical lack of understanding, of hopelessness.

>>2838219

the answer is you are a clueless faggot, doomed forever to be a retard.

yeah probably any of those states would be great places to live, but i also know many of them have way more transplants

also known as the only 2 towns in NM that aren't shitholes? besides Los Alamitos

I am sorry you cannot appreciate the superiority of Arizona

should i do the arizona trail? i got my finger over the book flight
>>
>>2838284
fanta se is a real shithole with the homeless now fren. truly don't understand coming to this state to live in one of the cities though
>>
>>2838380
This tbdesu. NM isn't a state where you live in cities.
>>
>>2838311
Wrong. This is the Arizona autist >>2838136. He's been here far longer than the Appalachian autist and has posted hundreds of out pictures he's taken himself. If you need data or synopsis for anything science or history related to AZ, he has it.

I'm deeply Arizona pilled because there's nothing on earth as beautiful as the low Sonoran Desert but NM has it's advantages. Less populated, less urban, less wealthy. Even though AZ's urban population is confined to Phoenix/Tucson remote Northern and Western AZ get slammed by tourists going to national parking lots and Quartzsite RV bullshit respectively. There's still plenty of places to disappear if you know what you're doing, especially on the border, but with Phoenix becoming a mecca for rich tech jerkoffs we're not gonna run out of water fast enough to prevent everything from Vail to Buckeye becoming one gaint suburb.

Shithole cities are good. Shithole cities don't bring thousands of REI consoomers to your secret spots. I miss when Tucson was a shithole.

>>2838448
Arizona's 2nd district is larger in land area than the state of Florida and has a population of roughly 830,000 people. And no one can afford to rent or buy a house there either. Any additional growth AZ will experience will be completely confined to the mordor corridor where 81% of the entire AZ population already lives. AZ's high desert shortgrass plains are not cultivated or grazed at all (literally less than 1% is utilized), the mordor corridor is the only region of AZ that actually has water and food sustainability issues. Pic unrelated.

>>2838448
>oh look, sand, rocks and catcus
How is this more beautiful than an alpine lake in the sierras?
>>
>>2838538
Its more that theres less tourist niggers and a shit ton of land to fuck around. The only reservation i have about NM is that i could be murdered anywhere
>>

Anywhere anytime

Tucson is a shithole anon.
Charming shithole but still a shithole.
>>
>>2838012
Its the most kino state but don't tell anyone. We try to keep it a secret
>>
>>2838997
Eh... no. It just can't compete with Colorado and Alaska.
>>
I really don't care what you losers think.
>>
>>2838997
Hardly. It's a fucking shithole filled with retarded assholes.

NM really is amazing. Bonus points if anyone recognizes the nippe mountain off the west side of 25 between ABQ and SF.

Being in the desert plains at near sunset is one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had. Just something about it, OP. I agree with you.
>>
>>2838012
I think literally every single state is better than that.
Who wants to walk for days in a desert without seeing a plant and then you die? And that's the good ending. You might wander into US Military area and never be seen again.

States like New York are much better, and it's not even close.

I don't believe it's actually possible to think New Mexico and Nevada are good unless you have some mental deficiencies and/or grew up there and never visited anywhere else.
>>
I studied in NM for a semester but to be fair, it's just the poor man's Arizona. I guess NM has some more Colorado like mountains with aspen trees and the like compared to Arizona and is less hot. It also feels like more of a hidden gem compared to Arizona and Colorado for example
>>
>>2840545
New York is so joylessly authoritarian and crowded it makes it hard to enjoy it. You go into a town and the speed limits are super low and change every 1000 ft.

I hate this goddamned shithole state so fucking much

I hope this entire state is annihilated by a fucking meteor
new mexico is a fucking SHITHOLE filled with fucking RETARDED ASSHOLES
>>
>>2838028
Which one of us?
>>
>>2838012
Montana, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Maine, Arkansas, the entire Appalachian region of the east, hell I'll even throw in western Canada. Pretty much everything out paces NM.
>>
Nm sucks, dont ever come here
>>
>>2838012
Maine is nice if u like slipping and cracking your skull on ice.
>>
NM is ok but the state is no where near the best not even in the southwest not even in the four corners Utah, Arizona, and Colorado are way better
>>
why does literally everyone in NM horde burned up and clapped out campers/winnebagos

90% of people that live here live in a trailer surrounded by garbage with 8 broken down winnebagos in their yard
its so fucking weird
>>
>>2841503
So we can break bad
>>
>>2841097
Pretty much this. Any state really, mogs the shit out of NM.
>>
Yup, New Mexico is best, go there, stay tf outta my state
>>
>>2838311
Can you red pill me on AZ? I just applied for a job in Phoenix because they’re expanding my market there. I am from Kansas and like hunting (especially for birds), camping, hiking, and four wheeling. I know they have quail and mountains which is based but how big of a pain in the ass is it to get tags for big game? How crowded are the trails? I’m assuming I can shoot on BLM land correct?
>>
>>2838072
I moved from MN to be closer to family. Used to live in Tucson for a few years. I agree.

>>2838739
>>2838449
I'm in Albuquerque now and the similarities are shocking.

>>2840963
This is also correct.

I took this picture on a trail 15 minutes from my place. I enjoy the access to the outdoors.
>>
>>2841503
Don't forget the old 50s and 60s busses. In 30 minutes south of Albuquerque in a clean and quiet town. If I drive 20 minutes south into the desert by the Manzano Moutains it's a complete 3rd world country. Old rvs connected to each other like extra rooms, old busses, burned out house ruins. Id be surprised if they even had running water. Rural poverty is wild
>>
>>2842346
>nooo people can't just live in what are likely better conditions than they did 100 years ago in the same area
>>
>>2838012
If you're really, really into rocks, it's up there
Otherwise, I don't really get it
Trying to uncover abandoned experiments?
>>
The northern parts of Minnesota and Georgia are great, but Georgia's better.
>>
>>2842191
>I just applied for a job in Phoenix because they’re expanding my market there
REEEEEEEE
But anyway. Trails are crowded during peak seasons and if life forces you to be a weekend warrior, but there's plenty of quiet if you get out and explore. BLM land is hype. Go ahead and shoot. Please clean up your brass and shells. I don't really hunt so I can't answer the other question.
