Actually that's not strictly true.
If someone unprepared tears up my trail so it's impassable, is that none of my business?
If someone unprepared sets alight to the forest and burns down the homes of 20 people living here, is that none of their business?
If someone unprepared shoots and injures a bear that they've attracted in their own ignorance, that then comes by your place and almost mauls your 5 year old, is that none of your business?
If someone shoots your house when they are hunting on your land without your permission, because they didn't check the public lands maps, is that none of your business?
While I'm all for letting people do what they want to do when it has no risk attached to me, I'm certainly very concerned when people come out here, trying to be Davy Crockett, and put me, my family, and my property at risk by their own ignorance.
