I've heard that tragic accidents can happen up there in wintertime, and bodies can go years before being found.

(assuming that animals haven't chowed down all traces in the meantime)

Play wilderness games, win wilderness prizes . . .

The likely way they’ll enforce this is to use heat detectors in either satellites or planes. Then they would send you the fine in the mail. Fail to pay the fine and they’ll show up and take your driver’s license or have you arrested until you do pay. (That last should be unconstitutional, but few people have the money to take them to court.)

In California and Washington state they use vans and drive down the street taking thermal pictures. Then you get the fine in the mail.

There's a movie based on a non-fiction book called "Into the Wild" about a privileged kid who became a greenie in college and decided rather than get a job after graduating, he would burn his ID and go on a journey of self discovery across the nation. He works his way across the whole country until he finds his nirvana in Alaska. Then like two days later he eats a poisonous leaf and dies in agony.

Somehow hikers and greenies are inspired by this story and visit the site of his camp as some sort of pilgrimage. They don't die horribly, however, so they aren't really buying into his whole experience.

I pity the SOB that knocks on my door in the dead of winter and tells me I have to put the fire out.

The people that make these kinds of decisions and then actually tell their gorns to publicize it and get it printed in the paper are the first idiots I would fire and parade nude thru the streets for people to throw rotten garbage at them, in the dead of winter.
