>Superintendent of Crater Lake National Park resigns due to untenable role and downsizing of the National Park Service
>says that he believes it's not possible to sustain the park at this rate

>Heatley criticized what he described as a systemic effort to shrink the Park Service workforce, pointing to early retirement incentives for veteran employees, and terminations of newer staff without clear cause. He said policies initiated under the Trump administration continue to erode the agency’s ability to function.

>“We’re being told, for instance, when people leave, they only want to replace 25% of those permanent positions,” he said. “You can’t run an organization like that.”

We are still going to have the parks after this, r-right bros?

How do I build an off-grid homestead in Appalachia and live /out/side permanently?

US National Parks are horribly run
BLM+Nat Park service have a combined budget of SEVEN FUCKING BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
SEVEN BILLION
and they still charge 30-50 dollars for every single Nat Park and podunk tiny little monument
What the fuck do they do with all this money?
Almost every nat park and land management road is fucking atrocious
the parking lots are even worse
you need a HAZMAT suit to enter any nat park rest room
Why do they need 35 dollars per car fee to see some little indian ruins?
What exact is that money doing? The little pamphlet can't cost more than .20 cents
thats basically it as far as cost
they don't even have rangers manning a ticket booth any more for most
they have a shitty app you need and then buy tickets/pay random fees online (usually in areas with SHIT internet/cell service)
Every campsite in CO was closed when I went there, I guess they are throwing a little shit fit cuz Drumpf or something
Everything in Utah, AZ and NM was open.
Some campsites you can't even tell if there are spots until you have ALREADY paid to enter into the site, so if they are full, you paid and there's no way to get your money back

Why are normies so afraid of nature?

>go visit the southwest
>just rocks, dirt, flat plains, and dust devils everywhere

how do i go poo in the woods without toilet paper?

It's amazing how much better life in the US would be if picrel was real

Why haven't you camped at a wild onsen yet, /out/?

PSA careful when walking around in the underbrush. i stepped on a fallen wasp's nest while bushwacking yesterday and as expected they were not happy with the intrusion..
