I miss the days when fireplaces and campfires were commonplace. Now you can’t even gather brushwood at “protected” campsites without facing penalties. Campers are actually helping to clear out tinder. They’re not loggers.
- nickthemagicman 6y agoThe insidious whittling away of our freedoms in the 'name of safety' in modern times and fearful people's support of it.. is truly something to behold.
- snypher 6y agoAh yes, the freedom to burn down a forest for the freedom to have a gender reveal party. Freedoms comes with responsibility, and a lot of people don't have either.
- nickthemagicman 6y agoWas it the gender reveal party? Forest fires are natural and happen all the time and are part of natural cycles of the forest. What kind of forest management was happening to allow the fire to get that massive in the first place? So you have government restricting freedoms to stop people from making mistakes created by the government in the first place. Not a great pro-government argument.
- vwcx 6y agoGenerally campsites do not need the small-scale timber “clearing” that happens when humans go camping and look for firewood for their small fires. All that ends up happening is a brutal macro-deforestation in the 100 yard radius of the site. The “protection” is to stop idiots from cutting every sapling in sight, which really does nothing to reduce that forest’s overall composition and fire risk.
