Yet another reason not to visit Florida! Thanks for the heads up!

I believe that is called "everyman's right". The right to access unused land. The same in Scandinavia. But, my son, if you are talking farmers, that's agricultural land and we should not camp on agricultural land because of tort law. Tort law allows landowners to recover losses due to trespass.

Happy stealthing!

Anyone who knows anything about trespass laws knows that you are NOT trespassing if there are no signs, no improvement, no fence on non-agricultural land and move on when asked. Check your trespass laws and get back to me.

When applying common sense wild camping rules (away from houses, no open fire, no disturbance, no left-behinds, build up at sunset and leave by sunrise), you can wild-camp without trouble in most countries (forbidden or not) and even on owned land. I have been wild-camping in most EU-countries on my motorcycling tours with my tent, no prob. Just keep out of direct sight from roads.

@MrRichardsSmoker Anger management. Look it up. You could also try 40 something overweight loser probably still living with his mother. Both would probably work for a person like you.

@thetasters Want me to teach you how to use Google? This way you can stop reiterating the same WRONG information. In a very generalized way, the Castle Doctrine only protects you from the legal implications of meeting force with force when you are facing subsequent serious injury while someone intrudes on your actual home, not your property. Shoot someone for being on your property and you will certainly rot in prison. --Love, someone who knows how to Google

@silkdagger You've gone from claiming a person can legally get shot for simple trespass while camping to a guy got shot for an illegal methlab and the DA declined to prosecute . You mentioned castle laws before. I'd suggest you actually look them up and read what they say and what they don't say. And what they don't say is that you an shoot on sight someone camping in your field without fear of prosecution as you claimed.

@karlhungusjr1 Someone was just shot three times not far from where I live for trespassing and trying to cook drugs. District attorneys office isn't pressing charges. You may be liberal and kind but some people simply are not. Careful where you go.

[karlhungusjr1]

@silkdagger I'm sorry, but you're just flat out wrong.

[silkdagger]

@karlhungusjr1 To continue and finish my reply I would simply advise being a nice fellow and if you notice you are on private property go ask the owner politely. Most will tell ya where you can camp and leave ya be for x amount of time. No issues. :)

[silkdagger]

@karlhungusjr1 not to be mean but, in the U.S there are places where if the front of the property has a no trespassing sign on it and you say enter from the west for this example which 2 miles from the sign and you camp and the owner thinks you're up to no good, you may be a dead man. The police? They would only process the paper work. Laws like that exist to prevent serious crime/ problems or issues. Roaming Meth labs for instance. Pot growers causing the land owner issues. etc.

@allanstokell That's only a Scandinavian right, not a German one.

@thetasters

That's not true at all. castle laws apply to your home, not your land. If you shot at someone just camping in your field/hedge row, you can expect a very long prison term.
