There’s nothing better for friendship than someone who genuinely cares about you, and who is wiling to go the extra mile. Kansans are not only used to extra miles, but we’ll drop what we’re doing to help a friend in need. Here’s a few reasons why Kansans make the best friends, we think. Do your Kansas friends have these traits?

1. We're loyal to the end.

Whether it's our favorite team's losing streak or a friend in need, a Kansan will never leave you behind.
2. We're down for any adventure...

Camping, fishing, or four-wheeling, we're out there enjoying life to the fullest when we can.
3. ...and we're always prepared.

Being prepared is something we prefer, because you won't want to be without food and water if you're stranded somewhere in inclement weather.
4. We'll cook you the tastiest homemade meals.

If you meet a Kansan who can cook homemade meals like your parents did, never let them go.
5.If not, you'll never run out of restaurant recommendations.

Some of us can't cook, however. That just means we always want to take you to our favorite restaurants.
6. We know all the best places to visit in state.

Not only do we know the best attractions, but when to visit them to avoid giant crowds.
