I would like to point out that the image of the cowboy and wild west being the hot and dry southern states isn't that accurate.

The wild west was also Oregon country, now Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska.

In the latter four, even now, if you go too far into the wild unprepared they won't find you.

They're not called the goodlands.

It's just called wilderness, looks beautiful, arguably more deadly.

Parks in AZ on the border of Phoenix(for example) don't have notices that cars left in the lot will have immediate search and rescue operations started to find them at dusk. Parks on the northern edge of Vancouver do.

cars left in the lot will have immediate search and rescue

Why do they have a lot, if parking there is considered an emergency?

You're supposed to bring your car with you portage style. It's all part of leaving no trace.

Android deleted the word overnight. Specifically at dusk.

Into the wild

I see what you did there

Exactly, there's a whole bunch of "winter" cowboys in Montana and Wyoming, lol

props for RDR2 for outright beginning with cowboys in hip-deep snow

You can have that weather in northern Arizona though.

The closest thing we've had in a game to the temperate rainforests of the pacific northwest that a lot of the cowboys of the region had to fave would be the thick tropical jungles of Crysis and Far Cry.
