Scary sign for nomads/full-timers

You've probably seen this...

Similar to such signs seen at Boy Scout Camp.   Generally they also  announce the  Trading Post   will remain closed until campsites & trails are cleaned up.  (no soda pop, ice cream, candy, etc until inspectors agree to it) 

I learned all the the stuff on that sign as a kid in scouts.   The earlier Boy Scout Handbooks were a wealth of wisdom for those who have never camped before  or have much experience with it.   They taught good ethics and values back in the day.   These books are still around used.

If we get millions of evictions soon, it will only get worse.

I carry my old scout handbook from the sixties in my van. Great reference on most things.

Yeah my heart goes out to things like this and people suffering worse than I am. I can't imagine the terror some families experience. It wouldn't be as bad but in the US the poor or the homeless are almost treated like they are traitors.

Hmmm, I don't think that's scary. I think it's common sense, and I think there oughta be MORE signs like this.

I've noticed right here on these forums that there are a lot of folks getting interested in the traveling life who don't have much background in camping. Hopefully, newbies HERE at least will learn to not be part of the problem, and will be instrumental in getting the word out.

I think it is a threat of collective punishment.
 Punish the offenders not the innocent.

You know.. like how justice is supposed to be.....

What Highdesertranger said! ^^^^
Also, do not denigrate entire groups of people. Those posts will be deleted.

 It’s not punishment to preserve the environment.

the other option of course is to pay for more LEOs on public land and increase their patrol schedule. Of the two, I prefer closing lands that are being trashed.

If you're camping and see someone trashing the place, call the rangers. We have more eye's than they do.

My taxes are high enough already.

BTW, there is another very long ongoing thread on similar matter.

The people who behave in this manner, do not heed signs.

Going as far as the signs would be taunting them to misbehave.

"Here, hold my beer ..."

I'm not sure why this thread is so controversial but it's causing too many problems. I've deleted five or six posts for various reasons. There are reasons for that sign. I know all of you are following good boondocking practices. I hope all of the people who aren't take the signs to heart. Thread Closed.
