In a purely Libertarian land there would be no public lands. Can you imagine?

Think about it, all the good land would be bought up by the wealthy. To go camping and hunting or just a scenic drive and picnic you would have to pay someone to go on their nice land, if they even let you. Also, they could make their own rules and if you had to cross several different properties one person might not let you pass. You might go in and out of toll areas on the road depending on who's land you were on. Talk about chaos! That doesn't sound like freedom to me for the regular person or even a wealthy person. I have to say I LOVE my public lands! I like being able to go into the Nat. Forest or BLM and just drive and camp wherever I want because it's my land just as much as the next person. We all pay for it together. That is freedom!

Oh, I forgot! Some libertarians don't like to camp so why should they have to pay for the Nat. Forest?
