About 10% of the US population but only 4% of US area. But not for long.
Keep telling yourself that. I've heard that sort of envious bunkum my entire life.
Then again maybe you're right as CA's population continues to grow...

It may indeed be growing, but as new immigrants come in, older ones are leaving.Aragon said:Then again maybe you're right as CA's population continues to grow...

I know that from 6 weeks experience in Portland OR, where I was trying to base my professional existence for a few months, into which CA immigrants are flowing like water missing in CA, causing rents and real estate to skyrocket to unimaginable levels. I could not live there because of that, and went elsewhere.
You couldn't have been in an REI store. I went in once looking for topo maps, told them I wold be using them for deer hunting. About 3 of them nearly vapor locked.
Here's an image that illustrates that concept.The kind that caters to mountaineers, rock climbers and serious backpackers.
That looks familiar. Rocky Mtn National Park? Were you on Long's Peak?Here's an image that illustrates that concept.
I walked to this place in CO at 11,000' from 8,000' with a 60 lb pack over the continental divide.

I sure can identify with that. I look at pics of CO at 11000 ft and think that can't be right. Theres no snow! No glaciers!^ Because mountaineers MUST be grounded in reality, lest they die.
I've been a backpacker since I was 22. (Now 65.)
I did mountaineering in my 40's and 50's.
I live in Maine, where at 400', I can be in the same climate
as in Colorado at 11,000' in winter.
Then, there's K2.
CA went from legal open carry, then unloaded open carry, now, no open carry in at all in incorporated cities and other specified areas, but open unloaded carry is OK in most unincorporated areas if you can get away with being hassled. Generally it is both legal and reasonably accepted out in the boonies.
Where you can legally open carry, you can have a handgun on one hip and magazines, speedloaders, etc. on the other hip.
If you are travelling in a vehicle (without a ccw), the handguns must be unloaded and be in the trunk or a locked container.
That's true. Rockies get to looking like Rockies in a lot of places.You weren't really that far off, Kodiak. Colorado Rockies are pretty similar. I found that those in the northern part of the state had denser forests.
That describes 95% of the population of the US.I was shocked at how unprepared they all were though.
