I'm not talking about those type of places. But I don't think you have any interest in my clarifying.
I don't think you have any intention of changing YOUR bad habits so I think we are pretty much even.
I don't care what "places" you are talking about since in your mind apparently you must own those places you talk about.
The reality is, you don't "own" the property you are parking on, SOMEONE DOES. SOMEONE bought it, worked hard for it, pays taxes on it, insures it and when you pull on someones land, you are a "guest" of that owner to put it kindly.. To put it bluntly you are a "squatter" if you did not ask permission.
Unwanted guest? Perhaps but a guest anyways..
You get hurt on that land owners land and well the land owner is "liable".. You damage something on that land and you go Scott free and merrily drive off in the sunset and no ones the wiser and you got a free ride benefiting YOU..
It is all about YOU and nothing else counts. YOU get free parking, free place to sleep, free place to damage, remove alter property all without paying one red cent..
Guess what, the world is not about YOU, the sandbox we all live and play in is not just for YOU. It is owned by people other than YOU.
Be a KIND YOU and ask permission BEFORE you setup camp for the night, you might be amazed at the hospitality that might be offered for NOTHING is YOU simply ASK FIRST..
Heck, if someone with a RV broke down on the top of the hill I live on if they ASKED permission first if it was OK, I wouldn't have an issue stringing a nice 20A power cord over to their rig until they got it fixed.
I find someone pulling off in my driveway and sleeping there "just because" they felt like it, I wouldn't be very happy about them blocking me from leaving and the Police would be called..
Not all that hard or difficult to seek permission..
Yeah, I get it, you might be parking on a thousand acre plot of land in the middle of nowhere.. But it ISN'T YOUR LAND.. It is easy now days to find out who owns it and get in touch with the owner..
