@graf @Wormwood some adventures in the forest service in (state withheld)
- two garbage bins went missing, they were found several thousand miles away by the Canadians, this happened on a week without any wind or serious weather
- a staircase appeared along the Canadian border, the Canadians had no explanation for this whatsoever nor had any recollection of where it came from
- a landslide happened but then the damage was mysteriously not present the next weekday
- a government inspector arrives during a rainstorm, doesn't want to look around because "it's rainy"
- Americans have wandered into Canada and Canadians have wandered into America. Both governments are aware of this and the reaction is essentially 
"oh well"
@YTFoidLover1488 @graf @Wormwood hey fun fact: while technically not allowed, it's rarely enforced.
If you're in a decent spot (eg. not in a trail, near a lot of wildlife) that's not on the main drag in a popular state (Eg. Yellowstone region, all of California or the pnw) you can pitch a tent (carefully, don't damage shit) overnight and often the night person won't give a shit enough to kick you out or shake you down for a permit.
I wouldn't recommend it for safety reasons, but if you're not a moron you're probably fine.
@YTFoidLover1488 @graf @Wormwood the main reason we need a log of where you are camping and stuff is not red tape government bullshit, but a bit more grim.
It's so if something bad happens we have record of who you are, also so we know there's people in this area in case we need to evacuate people (common in the summer)
