    Security cameras in the forest

    There are some criminal acts that occur on public lands. Graffiti is big one. Illegal harvest of trees, plants, wildflowers, wildlife, and artifacts is another. Some people think public land management should put hidden security trail cams up to detect these sorts of acts. Others feel it...

    Getting new trail running shoes

    How often do you go through your trail running shoes? How often do you have to get new shoes? Do you try to get the same ones each time or try something different?

    Stealth/Illegal Camping

    Don't feel like you need to provide enough detail here to incriminate yourself but... Have you ever stealth camped or illegally camped anywhere you knew you weren't supposed to be camping? Why did you do it? Would you do it again? How do you justify doing it?
