      @Nunya Business Yes, but the testing was done on a tiny portion of it. Look at the map again. Nevadans were butting heads with an organization called BLM long before it was cool because it controls so much in the state. Whether it’s a farmer’s water rights being violated, a rancher just trying to let his cattle graze, or anyone being bothered by wild animals, BLM is always in somebody’s way. I don’t think most Nevadans would mind the state taking control of a bit of useless land (even if it meant a tax hike) if it meant that the feds weren’t there to make the parts that ARE useful (including land owned by individuals) a pain to use.

    If there's ever any doubt about the Forest Service's mission, just note that it's in the Department of Agriculture. A National Forest is essentially a great big tree farm. And as such, those nearby can get a Christmas Tree for WAY less than you would spend at a Christmas Tree Farm. And by that I mean for a $10 permit you're allowed to take a tree any size up to 20 feet. You just have to be able to haul it yourself (and cut it down without killing yourself or anyone else).

In fact they often sold the same land multiple times to different buyers and got paid each time, hence the concept of "Indian giving". They were literally too stupid to understand what was going on.

    I live in Oregon. We have over half of the state federally managed. We hike, bike, camp, fish, and hunt all over our federal lands, here. Over 400,000 hikers live in our state alone. I've hiked on over 800 miles in the last 5 years, and almost all of it has been on federal land.
    Most states cannot be trusted to manage land. Overall, federal land does a better job at preserving OUR land for recreation and preservationist reasons. On the east coast, most of the land is developed and privately owned, and because of that, it is generally far more altered and off-limits to recreation. On the west coast, we are SO LUCKY to have all this federal land to explore, hike in, and enjoy. Remember, much of national forest land is designated as wilderness, which means that it is set aside in a completely natural state, for primitive recreational activities, such as hiking and backpacking. Yay!
    Recreation and tourism is far more important than resource extraction. Fact: the outdoor recreation economy is larger than all other resource extraction economies, combined. It supports over 7 million jobs, and makes billions of dollars. Makes sense to preserve it!

      That's awesome, and I think a large portion of land should be set aside, but recreational activities are not more important than resource extraction, without those resources you wouldn't have any time for recreational activities, You'd be spending all of your time working just so you wouldn't starve to death.

      In addition, we have enough private timber lands to supply enough wood for us. We don’t need to despoil or public lands for the sake of extraction.

      You think every decision is made in and every federal employee works in Washington D.C.?
      So in this world of yours, there is absolutely no one they can consult for how to use the land, since they aren't consulting anyone in the states who works in federal land? I assume they make decisions by throwing darts on a map? Is that how it works in the "the federal government is completely incompetent and evil" libertarian fantasy world?

      @@vulpes7079 Are you European? Cause it’s pretty obvious you don’t understand just how exactly spread out America is. You can hop on a bus or train that travels to a hub, goes to another one, and then turns off to wherever you want to go and spend hours and hours sitting And waiting as you take an inefficient route. Or you can hop in your car and be there in 20 minutes.
      Public transit requires consistent demand, a lot of America doesn’t have it. There’s a reason why the only high speed rail in America OSS in the northeast, it’s the only place with the density and traffic that makes sense.
