You simply cannot understand true hatred until you come from a small town in appalachia and had to witness the advent of these things. In 10,000 years people are going to wonder what caused so much of Appalachia to look like the fricking Rockies and where all the soil went.
These were extremely popular a couple years ago in the mountains where I live. All the tub of lard goy who must be facilitated everywhere they go criss crossing the mountains all the time. I used to go ATV riding in the mountains as a youngin so I get it. Its only now as a hiker that I really understand what it does to the mountains. Its not so bad when they stick to an established road besides the noise.
Are you me? Did the same thing, road ATV's all the time in my teens and early 20's. I'm in the PNW so it was mostly trespassing on logging roads. Nowadays I still trespass on logging roads, just go hiking instead. Private logging roads make for some of the best hikes I've ever had, 95% of the time the logging companies aren't even on the property, and normies don't want to trespass. I've done 8-12 hour hikes and won't see or hear another person the whole time.
Shhhhhhh. I'm already having a difficult enough time finding solitude lately and don't need people discovering this option as well, thx.
I had a tenant come to me the other day and apparently some tresspassing dopers burned up a 60×60 ft section of a hayfield with their dope-smoking and stuff lol fricking chuds.
Yes, I am you. I will be talking to us in our head tonight while we lie in bed.
There’s an established multi-use trail here that’s closed to ATV’s for the first four months of the year. I hike that particular trail during that time, sometimes several times a month, and nearly every time I go there are one or two ATV’s still using it. It’s very clearly marked, with signs posted at the trail heads and in the parking lots. There’s also signage on the road leading into the area, so it’s not a simple mistake of not knowing.
The reason for the closure is because late winter and early spring bring tea heavy storms which result in pretty sloppy conditions and a good bit of standing water. Using an ATV in those conditions damages the trail more than it would otherwise (according to the FS).
What action should I take? Cell coverage is spotty at best.
bring a gun and threaten them. also see if you can figure out their road vehicle license plates and use that.
Wat h the wranglerstar video on how to turn cattle panels into caltrops and toss them in mudholes
I wouldn’t want to do any kind of vandalism (like mud hole booby traps) because it’s a legal ATV trail 8 months a year.
Presumably there's a staging area where they have to park the trucks and trailers that they used to haul their ATVs in? Slash their tires. You don't even have to worry about being caught doing it, it's not like they're going to sneak up on you with an ATV that can be heard from ten miles away
>In 10,000 years people are going to wonder what caused so much of Appalachia to look like the fricking Rockies and where all the soil went.
That would be the strip mining Cletus. I'm amazed they have internet back in your holler.
Yes, that's also an environmental problem. The damage by these quad bikes is mostly on steep terrain though.
Brainlet take. Obviously that's an issue but the point is: who do you know personally who goes into debt to buy strip mining equipment and drive a hundred miles so they can strip mine the local mountain in their spare time as a form of recreation and not for profit?
Come to the southwest and you will meet people that actually do that. Yes it's as goofy as it sounds.
i dont like them either but outside of 4x4 tourist spots like moab I only ever see locals and hunters using them. and its the locals that are the worst users and most likely to disregard closures and non-motorized signs
Jeeps aren’t nearly as bad as these side by sides with their narrow tyres.
They also tend to just gas it at all times, instead of slowly crawling up

Boomers and morons love these
It's their favorite things combined: fricking over nature in as destructive of a way as possible while also having a loud as frick status symbol.
Boomers and midwits love jacking off to status symbols that completely frick over nature.
I did think about this, but the trail is popular with horses as well. There’s some kind of national trail horse racing event held there in the spring. And while I don’t care much for exceedingly wealthy boomers, it wouldn’t be right to punish them (or their horses).
What would the Viet Cong do?
Booby traps are illegal in the US.
I'm glad someone finally said it. They're great for utility on a farm or homestead but using them on trails destroying everything it touches instead of hiking is beyond selfish and fricking brainlets call themselves country for it
all the formerly good backass nowhere desert spots in western az have been overrun by mad max convoys of RV snowbirds in these fricking things. even some of the wilderness areas here have roads through them because of moronic offroad lobbying groups. people need to start slashing their tires.
Relax on the hatred man, some of us that own these things actually belong to riding clubs that take part in environmental stewardship. Dunno how it is down in the states, but here in Canada we have established trail systems maintained by club fundraisers and volunteer hours. All in collaboration with local landowners, municipalities, and wildlife groups. Then we get morons that wander onto our trails (despite having countless miles of their own hiking/bike trails) and b***h about environmental damage/noise/etc. Even though people like me literally pay into shit like tree planting and volunteer for trail maintenance/upkeep. We've even had a couple psychos try and string wire across our trails at head level. So next time talk to some of those people or contact a local club and voice concerns/ask questions instead of b***hing on an anon forum.
Wouldn't need tree planting or trail repair if you brainlets weren't there.

kys homosexual and stay out of the woods ENTIRELY lest I judge you.
You have to be 18 to post here, edgelord.

STAY OUT OF THE WOODS SINCE YOU b***h ABOUT PEOPLE BEING THERE.
You aren't special.
You aren't "observing" whilst others are destroying.
YOU ARE THE OTHER PEOPLE.
kys and save the planet for your pure ideals.

Bro, if I’m sitting on a blanket reading a book under a tree while some fat ass is doing donuts and tearing a new mud pit in his side by side then you’re objectively wrong.

Share blue is moronic. Ban infrastructure outside of dirt roads on public lands/national forest. Add the same tax off readers, hunters and gun owners onto other outdoor gear.
What are you even trying to say
Side by sides aren't a problem, it's a boogy man for the progressive left to justify road closures. Ironically, once the road is closed (see moab) they start lobbying for strip mining an area.
These useful idiots manage to close thousands of hiking trails, free camping, backpacking, and offroading because in their head, they were convinced it was all off roading. Truly the most useful of idiots. So, personally, I think their gear should be taxed, and the budget will go into the same pool/rate as the ammo and firearms tax. They should also pay for a day pass to use nature. Maybe that will allow them to have a little perspective.
Oh and a hiking safety course and license, to be renewed yearly, like a hunting license. Also, go ahead and minimize what time of year you can actually use a trail/camp.
>not saying "buggy man"
Missed opportunity
These are banned at most of the parks and trails near me but I still see them. Just like drones at national parks. Making the outdoors accessible to normalgays was a mistake.
Just go to remote areas and stay off trail.
This has been my solution for almost every problem when I go PrepHole. Haven't been able to stop aircraft from flying overhead yet, though.
>floridians
Is there a negative connotation?
As a dirtbike rider i really hate these. Jeeps are pretty good about letting you pass, so are hikers and bikers, even at riders aren't too bad. But these thing try to intentionally block off the trail. The driver will turn his head and see me then move to the middle of the road to make it even harder to pass. Happens way to often. Not a huge deal but standard driving and trail etiquette is to move over for faster moving traffic. Might be because most of the drivers are drunk
I hate those big frick off trucks that people use to off-road in, they're like fricking military looking machines and I hate them.
>I can get everywhere those massive off roaders can go

The above is a true story. I wish it wasn't.

I live right near a multi use trail in the appalachian mountain range and you literally cant hear them unless theyre right at the road
