As someone who’s been dealing with a lot of low mood lately, it really brightens my day to hear someone express gratitude for my anonymous, unauthorized trail maintenance.

    Please don’t do unauthorized trail maintenance. You create a hell of a lot of liability and lawyers ruin everything.

        It’s just a US person that’s paranoid.

        Besides who the fuck is gonna sue the park they’re literally trying to clean up if they hurt themselves? And the park ain’t suing them unless their “maintenance” is observed and really donks stuff up.

        Moving some brush and debris off a trail, nobody would complain or get in trouble in reality.

        Mate they’ve got too much freedom over in yankee land, you’d probably get sued for chopping up someone’s wood. Or if you hurt yourself chopping the wood up you might try and sue the wood owner because you have to pay for the doctor to fix you up.

      How? Is someone tripping over that stick any different than another stick…? Isn’t it making the space more safe

      We have no idea what sort of trail this is. Much of my hiking is private land, lots in park of various jurisdictions.

      The biggest case of poison oak I had in the past decade was from avoiding a fallen tree. Where are these lawyers you speak of when I need them! Ha!
