What makes the deserts of west USA so creepy?

How does one get into a hobby like the /outdoors/ when you live in a less than decent state for it?
Has it brought you happiness? Do you feel truly alive when youre out? Are you happy?

How to find rabbit trails? How to break neck? Is floral wire good?

Wow can you believe this? Not only is it 7 strand 550 cord but it also comes with 25lb fishing line, fire starter, and a snare wire.

Holy shit.

Taking a trip from the Southwest to the Southeast
I have a few urbx/ghost town locations lined up already and a couple parks, but I'm looking for any suggestions from people more familiar with the areas.

What I've got so far
- Thurber, TX
- Lake Bistineau, LA
- Kuhn Memorial State Hospital, MS
- Sweetwater Creek State Park, GA
- Loew's Grand Theater, GA
- Atlanta Prison Farm, GA
- Scape Ore Swamp, SC

I'm primarily into urban exploration but want to get /out/ more
I won't be doing any hardcore multi-day hiking, since I will be with a small group who have varied levels of experience, but some hiking and going off-path is welcomed.

Share some lesser known /out/ movies
>Swiss Army Man
its bushcraft at its finest

What are some fun toys/games that can be played by yourself when /out/ or even indoors? The only requirements I have is no electricity or batteries.

So far, I have:
-Deck of cards for solitaire or other solo games
-Hacky sack
-Yo-Yo
-Boomerang
-Slingshot

Why does /out/ hate the Sierra Nevada mountains?
Am I pleb for enjoying them?

Cures for fuckin' poison ivy? I can feel it itching me already!
