Scottish sc/out/ here. We have midgies in the millions up here, so there's that when it comes to biting insects.

We also have a compact (distance wise no more than 6hr for me to reach end of the island) and varies countryside.

Nice forests, mountains,glens, lochs,beaches,

And the weather isn't that bad. I much prefer hiking in 10-20c summers than 30c+ summers like when I lived in Spain n France

That is southern NM. Only good for camping in winter.
Northern NM is more like Colorado. Ski resorts and never too hot in summer. In fact it rarely gets to 90f
The mountains are lush and green in many places.

The only bad times to be British is winter/spring.
Our summers are mild but warm and then we have a 3-4 month long mushroom season so for 6 months of the year there's always a reason to go walking outside.
>>
>>720745
Unless you are /out/ and have a good reason...

I wonder if it's like the US where they will propose bills that are guaranteed to pass with strange little law tacked on at the end. Pass some law like "Taxes 0.01% Higher" and make it real lengthy, but then add at the very end "and protection from Muslims is a valid reason for carrying a blade banned under current law".

So you can carry your 10cm locking folder or fixed blade and while it would still be illegal without a valid reason like "but I'm fishing!" you can now just say "but the Muslims!" And it is totally valid.

Ausfag here. Coming your way in a few months time, making a potentially permanent move.

Looking forward to those 25 degree summers, no monsoons, being able to use snares, being able to use air rifles without gun licence, being able to go outside without bursting into a ball of flames.

One thing puzzles me though re wild camping.

snares are legal to use just about everywhere except tasmania, similar with jaw traps.

We can camp anywhere, get the laws right mate. Farmers don't care if you camp in some woodland, if you aren't stupid you can find isolated forests that no one has been in for years.

Scot sc/out/ here again. Pretty common to not see anyone when I go out, too. It's called not hitting the tourist traps and being away from population centres.

>>720552
Just STFU. I carry a khukri or an axe when I /out/ along with a locking 4'' knife. Zero problems because I, unlike you, actually know the law. I've met multiple police men (when I've only gone as far north as Trossachs Loch Lomond area) and you know what they're concerned about? That I'm not some retarded kid making a nuisance trashing the place, drinking, cutting green wood or setting fires. As soon as they realise I'm not a mongoloid bam they don't give two fucks about the 9'' of steel on my hip.

Daydreaming mostly. But I guess it does happen where they will pass bills that have some little addition or fine print in them where some unrelated law that most people don't care about will also be passed along with the larger bill.

So you know, have the politicians propose some 100-page bill that is overly complicated but seems like a great idea and everybody would pass. "Free Eyeglasses for Veterans once every 5 years" or some bullshit. And then slip the little clause in there saying that the Britcucks can carry a machete through town as long as they claim it is for protection against Muslims.

Legal reasons. You can't carry a tree in public without a valid reason, or it gets confiscated. Self defence is not a valid reason.

The UK has been lived on and farmed for FAR longer than a lot of other parts of the world, and coupled with it being relatively small, it makes sense that a good chunk of it has been converted into fields and pasture. Like the rest of Europe (like the rest of the world..) the UK was heavily forested right up to the late middle ages.

Mate drive anywhere west of the eastern seaboard and you have empty fields for hundreds of k's, then desert for thousands.

British lands are rightfuly Anglo Saxon, the celts had a huge plague and the lands were empty and christians started settling so the pagan anglo saxons wanted to take the land back. Also the celts promised the Anglo Saxons land for mercenary work but denied the Anglo Saxons the land when they had done.


Anglo Saxons are neanderthal, not celts you dumb american.

The laws are for CITIES, if you walked around the forest with a zweihander and the police saw you they'd probably think you're a reenactor and not give a shit; if you walked in the city with one (without a reason) you'd get arrested.
