I do tons of lightweight backpacking and it always amazes me the amount of day hikers (and more recently mountain bikers too) I see with zero equipment. Some don't even carry water and where I live it is usually HOT. Often it is a young couple and sometimes even a family with small children. It bothers me to no end and especially when people travel unprepaired with their children. Maybe CPS should sit at the trailhead and arrest those fools. I imagine I am likely to have to use my knowledge and gear to help one these people [again] long before I will need it to help myself. That is if they are lucky enough to be within shouting distance of my camp or to cross me on the trail. </endRant>
