Responding to a couple of selloff proponents in one.
I prefer a prioritization of private entities in most of what I consume but realize the federal government is needed for certain commodities that private interests cannot provide, such as defense and, yes, preservation of wild lands. You may think you have access to the wild from private entities, but you don't. Barring a few gajillionaire eccentrics with vast holdings (think Ted Turner) most private holdings (indeed, most land in the east, unfortunately) offer a poor, overdeveloped representation of the wild. Your buddy's enlarged duck puddle? Your pine tree farm hunting camp? Your miserable industrial bayous? Might as well be Central Park with some wildlife thrown in a fence. What is left of the true wild in this country is protected by the federal government, and almost exclusively is found west of teh Mississippi. Private entities simply do not protect the wild, and with a few very notable exceptions, I find that state parks are similarly overdeveloped. Just because you don't care to enjoy it, doesn't mean you shouldn't want to protect a little bit of it for your grandsons.
More on this below, but on to the next guy:
I love your tone and use of quotation marks around the word 'sportsmen." First of all, I will just emphasize what you already (hopefully) know: calling someone a 'snowflake' or 'cuck' immediately identifies you as a brainless dolt. But since we have digressed to name calling, I'll go ahead and toss in what you are: a pussy. I don't want to make too many assumptions about you but I'm fairly certain I would find your idea of 'getting in the outdoors' to be without any effort, risk, and reward- utterly boring. You drive your fatass to your deer stand, shoot a buck, and drive it back to camp. Great, try elk hunting, pussy.
There are places I could take you in the Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico wilderness where I'm certain you would wilt and collapse long before the final destination, mentally and physically breaking down when you first tasted the feeling of truly being on your own: in a situation where making the wrong decision could easily result in losing your life. These places are never private holdings and, like I said to the guy above, just because you don't get out and enjoy them, don't take away the opportunities of your grandsons. These places are all of our birthrights, and we should protect them rigorously. In other words, stop being such a pussy.

Selling 0.5% of federal land would be a disastrous development for selfish snowflake "sportsmen".

Only to the reactionaries among my opposition. The truly educated, understand sarcasm. Maybe that's your problem.

Oops, that's definitely your problem. The fact that you publicly display the mindless ramblings, assumptions, and name calling that your mind so vomits freely, is distressing.

You probably inhaled the dusty remnants of the shite I started leaving in those places in the 1970s! I Did come extremely close to dying in Wyoming. Surviving a bad decision greatly increased my wisdom.

Simply wrong. But, you occasionally have to pay for the actual upkeep!

Once again your feverish brain is making incorrect assumptions! If this sale had gone through my grandsons (and hopefully granddaughters) would still have 99.5% of today's public lands.

You repeatedly refer to these places as wilderness, but if hundreds of millions start using their birthrights the "wild" will leave the wilderness.

What happens when the "fatass pussies" as you call them decide to prohibit all human activities (hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, etc) to be the proper way to "protect them most rigorously"?
