So, where is your line? A high priced lawyer can take a term like 'low impact' and ram it through the court system so we need to hire a lawyer to determine what we can and cannot do. I like [If you make money off your activity in the park you need a permit] because it is simple, concise, easy...

The same as for any copywrited work. There are companies that look for and prosecute illegal use of copywrited material. The laws and mechanism is already in place, just add NPS permits. You probably hardly even notice Used by Permission at the end of an attribution of some work. If your...

Not just the mentally ill. I got started working with the homeless while in high school. I worked weekends in what was called 'the poor farm' in the 30's, 40's, and 50's. It housed not only mentally ill but indigent nursing home patients and men with nowhere else to go. In early 70's...

Slippery slopes go both ways. If you don't require permits for making money off videos shot in the park in a 'low impact' way how about other 'low impact' activities: in popular parks professional photographers, even with hand held cameras, need a permit. floating through the Grand Canyon a girl...

Could you direct me to some of these communities?

Nobody wants drug addicts and mentally challenged persons around where their kids play all summer. Sevices for homeless would have to be distributed, which will greatly increase costs (which means service cuts). Transportation is a problem; poor bus service in most suburbs. Habitat for...

Why should anyone who makes money off of our National Parks NOT pay a fee?

So what is your solution?

A lot of people don't understand how insulation works: Insulation just slows down the transfer of heat, it doesn't stop it. Items in an insulated part of a freezer (away from cooling coils) will eventually freeze. How long that takes depends on how good the insulation is and how often you open...

My understanding from talking with rangers is that the rule has been in National Parks 'if you make money off your activity you need a permission'.

It's called extended family, something our cultural leaders have been working to eliminate for the last 60 years. I've been taught since High School that that is the governments job. By the 3rd or 4th generation the 'foreighners' have moved apart and are part of the American culture and see...

Mine is a very small sample size, not scientific, and just my observations: - during the 45+ years I've been volunteering at this mission our numbers haven't changed significantly. - during 'pleasant' weather we have about 40 - 50 (out of 89) overnight beds filled. - during 'uncomfortable'...

Before hiring a lawyer to advise you here are some places I would check: - homeless advocacy groups. You can't be the first person to need this. - state or local elder care advocate. - nursing home resident advocate. - hospital patient advocate. - nomad groups: Escapees, Sam's Club, AAA...

Mostly about 60 years experience working with homeless men: During high school and early college I worked part time in a County Mens Home where I got to talk to men who had worked in the CCC and WPA camps. After college I started volunteering at a local mission serving homeless men (still do)...

First, thank you everyone for keeping this thread respectful. I think summer LTVAs are a good idea but I don't know where they could be located. The higher elevation places are forested, would need to be modified to support a large number of campers, usually under some kind of fire ban...

That will help reduce the cost of housing :ROFLMAO: But hey, we are already putting American oil workers out of jobs so we can pay foreigners why not loggers and lumber mill workers (and the businesses they support) out of work too.

A DC to DC charger would be a cheaper, easier, and safer alternative to changing you alternator to higher output, especially if you have a smart alternator and/or lithium house batteries. For idling for long periods of time it would be cheaper to get a 1000W generator (>0.13 gal/hr) and battery...

Having the capability to charge house batteries when driving is smart but not inexpensive to set up (vehicles with 'smart' alternators or deeply discharged or lithium batteries need a DC to DC charger). My truck sits for two week often with only about 1% measurable discharge: trivial. My other...

My guess is that there would be some legal variation by state. This would be a good question for anyone who is a member of Escapees, Good Sam's, AARP to ask. I also checked to see that my emergency health and contact information is available to first responders on my iPhone.

I like this this^^ I didn't see this mentioned before (having read this thread in bits and pieces): You need to determine where the freezer temperature sensor is. This must be in the freezer section, not blocked by insulation or in the non-freezer part. You need to determine which walls (or...
