Let's also not forget BLM land, where Americans can and do load up a F150 Raptor and run 90 mph across the desert, camping anywhere they want, shooting semiautomatic rifles into the air freely, living out their freedom fever dreams. Try doing that in the UK.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) even has a portal with maps

BLM land is a million square kilometers. That's about ten times the size of the UK.

There is something to be said for the UK traipsing laws from time immemorial - because you can explore something other than a million square kilometers of mostly unused land.

This is what I'm doing this weekend. I'm not even joking, headed to Moab.
