>>2515264Do you go to the ones you have? How far do you drive for them?
American national parks look super fun and I would love to visit sometime, but if you haven't even tried the ones you have in europe, you are just larping about the grass on the other side and wouldn't go there if you actually lived there either.
And remember that americans have a different relationship with range, a "long drive" for a european is usually a normal or even short trip for most americans. It's much more normal for (especially rural) americans to drive long distances. The US is really fucking big, sometimes us europeans forget that. If I consider the ranges that americans are willing to drive suddenly I have multiple countries to choose from in the EU. Chances are inside those ranges there is at least some great /out/ areas.
I live in germany, arguably one of the worse countries to live in for /out/ shit, but I can drive to france, austria, italy or switzerland if I want civilized nature, or eastern europe if I want more wild nature and less settlements nearby. And of course there's some good spots within the country, too.
Once I realized that there's no reason I have to stay within national borders my options increased a lot.
But either way, go /out/, I am sure there's some good spots where you are. Larping just breeds misery. You can save some money while you do that here and eventually visit.
