I wonder why multiple landowners would all come to that same conclusion? Maybe if you people could behave yourselves and be appropriately grateful toward the people who let you walk through their private property instead of being arrogant entitled assholes, then they wouldn't have to end up banning you.

So what you're saying is that all of the area surrounding public land should also be public land? You realize this is impossible, right? If private land isn't allowed to border public land then you'd have to just endlessly expand the public land until no private land remains.

Reasonable people have no problem with allowing access through their properties and I promise you that all of the examples you're listing are people who regularly allow people they know to cross their property to access the public land but the fact of the matter is that the general public are selfish assholes and the second you tell them it's ok to cross your property, you're going to get all kinds of garbage camping on your land, littering everywhere, stealing anything within sight of the path used to travel to the public land, shooting guns across your property, etc.

If you are a nice, responsible person and you want to access these public lands then you talk to the people whose property you need to cross, you explain your position, you assure them that you will be nice and respectful, and in 9/10 cases they'll be perfectly fine with it.
