Most American shit I've ever seen. A fucking military missile range in a national park.

How do we solve the tourist issues in western national parks?

This is literally the most gun that anyone needs in the woods, unless you’re in bear country. Even then, if you can aim then you’ll be fine.

>you will never get to explore the coast redwoods or the temperate rainforests of North America pre-logging
How do I cope with this thought?

can anyone recommend me a good bike for bikepacking? A bike that can handle gravel roads, and offroad, but that is also suitable for traditional bike touring? Preferably also one that can be used as daily comuter to/from work.

Question. How far off the beaten path do you guys live? Closest town to me is roughly 15-20 miles on roads like these. Wife loads up on groceries, like two carts worth to make less trips. Aside from not having cell reception. I love it up here. I feel my heart pressure drop when I get to the treeline road to my neck of the woods. I enjoy my weirdo neighbors. lands cheap out there too. And i can literally shoot game from my porch

*gets on you*

Would you like to live in mountains?

I'm planning on going to the summit of the Kilimajaro and later the Aconcagua on the slower easier routes. What kind of preparation people do fitness-wise? I live at around 800m above sea level and work out every day. I'm fit enough so can run 10km in 1h and people said i will be fine but idk if they did so i would use their expedition services.
I've already done multiple days hikes but nothing quite as high and altitude fucked me up when i was in Peru.
