I am planning a backing trip down there in a few months, was wondering if anyone knew the area.
My experience in the National Forests has pretty much been the same in all states..I take my truck up a jeep trail for a while, pull off the trail, strap on a ruck, and head out for a few days rarely seeing anyone. I havent been to WV, but since its NF land, I dont imagine I will have an issue possessing a handgun.
Is this area populated?
If I am hiking for a few days are there going to be tons of people around, or will it be pretty solitary?
I am looking for deep forest, no people, just rocks, trees, and air.
Anyone think I will have any issues wearing a belt holster and openly carrying?
From what I can find out, the state law allows it, but we all know the law doesnt mean rangers wont hassle you if they arent used to people exercising their 2nd amendment rights.
Advice?
Suggestions?
I am just looking for a quiet region to hike maybe 5-10 miles a day...pack light, and live off what I can find for a few days.
Thanks with what ever you can share.
