Where are you from? What's the /out/doors like there? Local trails/recommended hiking areas?
From Vermont myself. Basically everyone lives in or near the woods here because the woods are almost everywhere.
The weather is all over the place around here. So much so that we have a saying, "If you don't like the weather, just stick around for a few minutes." It is known for being on the cold side (average temperature is 41º). Winter is generally pretty long and brutal but if you're into it, it's a great place to be for the snowy season.
Exploring can be pretty rewarding and we have 52 sanctioned state parks for hiking, biking, skiing or whatever else, but I've had good times just roaming around my backyard if I don't feel like driving anywhere.
Green River Reservoir and Kettle Pond are some good remote camping areas, as for hiking, some of the better known mountains are Mt. Ascutney, Smuggler's Notch and Wantasequet, though the latter is actually in NH, I live within sight of it, so I hike it often. Not to mention, the Appalachian Trail runs through here so there are some great hikes along it like Gifford Woods.
The people around here are mostly hippies which is actually a good thing because it means that wild camping is allowed (or at least, no one cares) and most people are willing to hike at any time so I rarely go at it alone.

I'm from southern Oregon. The outdoors are pretty awesome, lots of various activities, but I really just enjoy hiking and maybe fishing.
There are trails, bike paths, etc. I love hiking up to Table Rock.

I'm from Escondido. There's not much around here but Lake Dixon and Wilford. Most of the wilderness is just dry shrubs, boulders and hills, but if you go far North East you get so some of the woody parts of Cleveland National Forest.
>Pic related is Dixon

alabama, the gulf coast.
I'm not fond of seafood but I fish a lot because it's what everybody around here does.
I wish I had some hippies to camp with. I usually end up with crazy rednecks and the trip becomes like an episode of jack ass. they suck at maintaining camp but they bring plenty of booze and weed.

>>59Everyone in Vermont smokes weed. It's cheap and it's easy to find. Another plus to having hippies everywhere.

Iowa does have a nice mix of urbex and innawoods with the urbex there is abandoned factories and farmhouses. And for innawoods there are places like on the edges of every town that have train tracks to follow

Eastern PA, near Philly. The /out/ is okay in my immediate area. There aren't many parks–most of the woods is privately owned, so I have to trespass to explore it (which actually makes it more fun). Within daytripping distance, we've got the Appalachians, the Pine Barrens, the Delaware Water Gap, and the estuaries of the Jersey shore. I try to get out to the big woods at least once every two weeks. What precious tracts of forest are still standing are my favorite forests in the world. I just love the dense canopy, the deciduous foliage, the crunchy leaves underfoot, and the abundant climbing trees.
Pic related is from the Watergap, I think.

I'm from Idaho, but I live in south central Kentucky now.
I fucking miss Idaho, the outdoors here are just farmland.
