Clayton Bigsby posted:Had to google that, seems like a US thing? In Sweden and can’t recall any similar recommendations. It doesn't have anything to do with what country you are in, camping at least a few hundred feet from bodies of water is generally good practice because ecosystems at the edge of the water tend to be more delicate. Though it looks like there was a picnic table there so maybe you were on a developed site.

Pham Nuwen posted:Just moved to the San Francisco peninsula. Where can I backpack in & hammock camp overnight nearby? I see a lot of land in the area owned by regional water authorities, and of course there's the Golden Gate national recreation area, but can I dispersed camp in either of those? Are there general rules of thumb for dispersed camping in California? There is no dispersed camping nearby. Probably national forest in the Sierra/foothills is the closest for that? The Bay Area is loving crowded, make backpacking reservations as early as you can if you want to go anywhere even slightly popular.

You can also stop at or call a ranger station and ask what they recommend for dispersed camping areas for your particular goals/limitations. They honest to god love talking about those kinds of questions. It's like going to a record store and asking everyone there what Velvet Underground album you should buy.

Coming from the Midwest it still blows my mind that I can leave my apartment near downtown Oakland and be hiking in Redwoods in less than 30 mins.

Also with MREs there has never been a person who was interested in eating every single item in every meal so now you are packing out uneaten food in addition to all of the trash.

Actual navigational cairs are usually pretty substantial. No one officially maintaining trails should be relying on an artfully-balanced single column of rocks.

Kaal posted:The hiking community should probably just use two terms to describe the different things. Cairns are made for trailmarking, and they're good. Rock stacks are made for fun, and they're bad. Need to be careful that your anti-rockstack campaign isn't going around kicking over cairns.

Trekking poles on a day hike are amazing when you get to that last steep downhill stretch at the end of the day.

Freaquency posted:Saw this today. On one hand, I don’t think setting an entire goddamn tree on fire should be plan A for getting rescued, but on the other I really hate that someone that was desperate for rescue (even though they went about it in a stupid way) is getting fined this much while most of the people who start fires just by being shitheads get away with it. Buried at the end is the revelation that the entire situation was probably the result of a google maps error: he planned to do the moderate Cabin Loop but ended up at the strenuous Taylor Cabin Loop which is located 50 miles away from the Cabin Loop.

Also important to make sure you aren't 50 miles away from the trail you planned for.

I think if you are in the market for a GPS beacon / satellite communicator then you should probably get a real one, but the iPhone version is probably great for people who otherwise wouldn't have bothered.
