I am wondering if this is a prohibited activity. I plan to just get out , go to a BLM where there is few or no campers and jist spend the might there.
COVID and BLM camping.

- Start date
Legal in some places, not legal in others. Fact is until this virus is under control why not join the nation ..... world and stay home. The recommendation, stay home. Why does it have to be prohibited when front line workers ask you to avoid non essential travel.

I know several people out here who re still getting out also at our Arizona house getting out is very safe... In a 50 miles radius there are ZERO cases of covid..
BLM Nevada "Visitors may continue to enjoy BLM-managed public lands in a safe and responsible manner. We recommend visiting areas close to home while avoiding very popular or crowded locations where social distancing may be difficult and limiting group activities to members of your household. Please note that existing rules and regulations apply. Entrance fees have been waived. "

That has happened pre covid-19. Now, outside the known hotspots like the NE US, many nurses are working part time to sitting at home. For the time being, plenty of beds and supplies.lol priceless

Last night my wife was reading a 72k comment FB thread where nurses discussed their local circumstances. Most are not at capacity and many many are nowhere near capacity. NY was still an exception and some asked for assistance. As to search and rescue, maybe I’m wrong, but I haven’t heard of them being in need of aid.
As long as people are following the guidelines, you can get fuel and food without significant transmission risk. Be smart. Don’t do anything typically risky.
Keep in mind, there’s no guarantee of a vaccine either. There isn’t one for SARS. Point being, we might have to become better germaphobes and work through this virus. It’s not feasible to keep everything shut down indefinitely...or at least until a possible vaccine is released.
The only reason I replied is to provide a more complete picture of the current situation.

This is BLM land and there is NEVER a fee to be here. In fact I have never been to any BLM land that had a fee.. My house is on the very edge of that grassy area below this is part of my view from the house.. In fact I go hiking here every day to get exercise and have never crossed paths with a single person... Like I stated above our place in Arizona does not have a single case for at least 80 miles and none in our city or even in the next city over...
The picture you posted is maybe 1% of the medical people in the US right now . 99% of them are not getting in any more hours than normal and some are getting a lot of time off because most hospitals are not at capacity. So, your photo is irrelevant to the large majority of areas in the USA right now... So, thank you, I will have fun out there... I can camp right here if I wanted too.

if you don't have to travel, because it's near your house, and you won't see anyone else AND you being out there won't cause everyone else to do it (like the guy going to the beach) and you're not at any more risk than you'd be at your house, of having to call first responders, a tow truck, etc, then absolutely go out and have fun.
We must be a bit more militant in Canada.

Despite evidence that most British Columbians stayed close to home on the Easter long weekend, some residents say they're still seeing too many visitors.
