The real question, is what would I do if I came upon some eco terrorists in the act of setting booby traps...a lot can happen in the middle of the desert.I can see it now...

Yep...The real question, is what would I do if I came upon some eco terrorists in the act of setting booby traps...a lot can happen in the middle of the desert.
. One of my favorite quotes form goodfellas (I think)...
There's a lotta holes in the desert...
And in those holes, a lot of problems.
Not sure how close I remembered that...

We experienced that in Shenandoah. Someone put a tadpole pond right in front of Eric.

Almost, its Casino (pretty much the same thing though, right) and its "A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes."Yep...

Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

just read an article in a local paper about this.. 15 year old riding his dirtbike on a trail took a steel cable to the throat, as you would expect, he didnt make it. the people who put the cable up claimed they did it to keep people in pickups from driving down the trail to dump trash.. they had been ordered to take it down before when another kid hit it last summer, hit him in the upper chest so he made it
family of the deceased sued and won a settlement for 750k.. no criminal charges at all

Yeah, but I can see why someone would do it. I've got some pristine property up in the mountains. In the past, people would steal the woodpile from time to time, and the cabin up the road was totally looted. But in general, it wasn't too bad. There were some pretty hefty rocks in the road, and the scrambling needed to get there made it remote to most people. (Prime reason I bought my VX, actually...)
Lately, the fences and gates are getting locked, up and down the valley -- to keep the ATV riders out. Although the hikers, bikers, and jeepers are pretty good people in general, the ATV riders seem to have no qualms with leaving the road and tearing up the land.
I've got a security cam shot of some kids driving right up to the NO TREASPASSING sign, a hundred yards from the road.
I've considered traps, but discarded them as a totally stupid idea. I would really love to inconvenience someone with no respect for the outdoors, but I don't think it would do to injure anyone -- especially someone like a hiker.
So, I just sit around and rant. "Ge'off my prop-er-tie!!"

Well, booby trapping your own property to catch trespassers is one thing (actually sounds like fun). The problem here, is that it's eco-terrorists who are laying traps to disable 4x4 vehicles on National Forest and BLM trails. I personally think there should be guidelines, and FIRM, EXPENSIVE punishments for people who get caught cutting trails and dumping trash, but booby trapping trails is like blowing up abortion clinics.

i completly agree... people who set traps on public lands should charges of premeditated murder... especially if they set wire up neck high... i mean wtf who in their right mind would do something like that... i also found this pamphlet about how to set boobytraps, it sounds like it was made for world war 1 and 2. i read it and its really revealing. its good to read it and know what your up agianst.
