I and some buddies spread across WI, IL, and IN want to do some secluded wilderness camping with gear. I want to avoid campgrounds and other people. Just get a permit to hike into dense forests and cold camp.

if its a national forest you dont need a permit to hike and backcountry camp. just go.

I would go to Northern WI for the most public land and opportunities for seclusion

I appreciate that you ask this instead of just the spoonfeeding second question.
>look up national forests in these states
>they have websites
>these websites have info on hiking and backpacking and dispersed camping rules and info
>check the district’s MVUM motor vehicle use map if dispersed camping with a vehicle
you just then have to sort through the website to find a spot that looks like what you want

Shawnee National Forest is hands down the best in the region. No permit, start at Elizabethtown and just work your way west, or head in to Burden Falls wilderness. It's the most beautiful place in the midwest, save for the UP.

“primitive” camping is used by land management agencies to just mean camping without campground amenities like toilets, grills, picnic tables, etc so use a different term for larping like say maybe larping

I'm not a user of /out/ or have experience with camping lingo. just utilized the term as Google presented it, which is as you described. it's larping for sure, but I thought it still fit the description of an absence of amenities.
>>2697578
the term pointed out online was described as camping without amenities.
>>2697575
it was suggested to me to use Google earth, I'll definitely give it a shot. I didn't know if people that frequent the hobby knew of particular spots like a snow boarder might know of mountains. I've not sought this sort of camping before. thank you for your input I'll definitely utilize it.

my point is that wearing plate carriers and helmets and doing land nav does not fall under primitive camping, and is instead larping. you can do both.

Yeah uhhh seeing some dudes walking around in plate carriers and ar-15 and definitely not law enforcement raises a few eyebrows, or the DNR thinks your poachers.

Id do this on private property.
