Would love to find your tent that you leave unattended and move it to the next mountain for you. Oh wait, I guess since it isn't high technology than it is ok for you to leave your tent. What about your truck, that is on public property, why shouldn't I be able to take your truck and use it for my own use or destroy it because it is in the spot I wanted to park in?

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?
