Many are letting their landscaping die around here. Not pretty.

The permit link worked fine, thanks.

Of course! We still have to keep funding that bullet train! 🙂 After all, we should keep pouring money in to that rather than desalination plants. It's hard to find salt water here in California.

I digress.

2nd that!!

But wait what will I do if I can't get from Bakersfield to Modesto in 1 hour? Because of course those are my two favorite cities in CA................NOT!

Thanks for the link it saves me from going to the Ranger Station in Kenny Meadows.
Something it doesn't say you need at least one person (by) your fire if it's burning.

As dry as it is, I'm surprised campfires are allowed anywhere. I'm glad most campers are fire safe.

"Prado Dam fire spreads to 1,020 acres; caused by unattended fire."

I have issued many CA campfire permits during my career as a fireman. I have checked for permits many times. I carry a permit book rather than a citation book when checking. The only citations I have written were when the fire had escaped the fire ring and the person did not have a permit.

Happy campers make good campers.

Sort of like the correspondence school that Taxi drivers are trained at?

Just wondering?

Please tell me that those videos are the YouTube Sobe videos!!!

:B

I've been checked twice, and was once reported for having an illegal campfire when we were just using a propane BBQ to grill some burgers.

They do check, but there aren't many rangers to cover quite a bit of territory.

I don't believe you need a permit for an established campground.
"Campfire Permits are designed for use on federally controlled lands including those falling under the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management, and private lands that are the property of another person. On private lands you must also have written permission from the landowner for campfire use." Quote from Cal Fire. So if you boondock in Calif, you might need a permit if you use fire outdoors. The only time I have ever had a permit was when backpacking in a national forest. Just food for thought.

I see a Problem video says:

"Have a responsible Adult around"

Thats why none of us have a permit. 😉
