What types of legal, free, public land camping is abundant in the midwest?
Well, I don't break the laws. But there are a lot of unused and unimproved land in the Midwest. Every state except Wisconsin allows travelers to be on this type of land, so it is not illegal. I don't know a lot of "public" land, but there is a lot of private land and it is not illegal.
