You don’t seem to understand that my house, my town, and the majority of my state, are massive amounts of public forest. I have every right to wander and camp, as long as I’m not squatting (which is it’s own mess of an issue where what counts “permanently inhabiting” an area), anywhere in that public forest.
Why would my state govt have any reason to enshrine a right that would just make more people trespass because they don’t understand the law? Those that follow that law would then have nothing change.
This is why I say it’s a states’ issue. This won’t be the same across the entire US.
There are people who harvest wild food, yes. I think you need to understand that just our national forests are almost twice the size of the entirety of Sweden. Then there are state forests, national parks, and state parks. Texas alone is 50% larger than Sweden, and Alaska is 3x larger than Texas.

Trespassing isn’t really an issue here so why would it be an issue there?
If it’s legal now, then passing a law country wide would be no issue.
I am just of the opinion that this should be right everywhere regardless of where you live in the world.
Btw, I am just curious, is it rare in the USA to see berry and mushroom pickers? That’s included in the rights so we do have a lot of them.

Sizes don’t matter.
I don’t get why you are so against it when it apparently wouldn’t change anything because you have so much land anyways.
Just give everyone the freedom to walk wherever they want. It doesn’t hurt anyone.
