Are kelp forests the next best thing if you ever want to visit an alien planet?

Outing if there was no mosquitoes and ticks

Please for the love of God tell me there’s a chink shit alternative or someplace that sells these at cheaper prices. Or better yet, an alternative for stealth camping

This has to be the most subhuman behavior in the hiking community. It's orders of magnitude worse than boombox hikers although I'm sure there's some overlap there.

I've been hiking in this one park for over ten years and the last 2 weeks I've seen an unprecedented amount of trash someone else left behind. Water bottles, cigarette butts, food wrappers etc. I took it upon myself to clean up what I could (yes I did it for free) and filled up 2 plastic bags worth of trash both last Friday and today. This is a 5.5 mile loop that I'm used to seeing maybe 1 or 2 bottles on. I usually assume it was dropped by accident and take it with me without thinking much of it.

There are trash and recycling bins at the fucking trailhead. Some people apparently just can't be fucked to carry their trash for 2 hours. It's not just an eyesore it's terrible for the ecosystem that surrounds the trail.

I'm not sure what to do. Maybe if I talk to the park office they'll pay me money to clean up the trails.

Any car dwellers here?

What’s your car and setup? Or what would be if you were to do it.
I’ve been in the Prius for 2 years now, but I’m kind of wanting a 4Runner, it’s just the gas bit kills me for them.
I was also considering an Outback

What are some good places to hike/camp here? I can drive.

Is it ever possible to end mass clear cut logging and restore some of the natural forest?
I’m specifically talking about the PNW where it’s clear cut and tree farms as far as the eye can see.
As beautiful as rainier and the redwoods are, it really detracts from the experience when you have to drive through hundreds of miles of clear cut just to get to the parks
I know it will take hundreds of years for the old growth level coastal forests to regenerate but will the process ever be started?
