Then what’s the point.It’s free and it takes 4 minutes. :)
My guess is CYA for the state in the event of a forest fire. Nobody can argue in court that the state didn't make an effort to "train" for safety. I think it's dumb, too...Then what’s the point.

Given everything else that state has done since I left, my guess is more sinister. Along the line of, they’re counting on you not knowing you need it, then fining you heavily when you don’t.My guess is CYA for the state in the event of a forest fire.

There are a lot of bozos who don't know how to safely put out a campfire, and each year unattended campfires start major forest fires. I'm happy to spend 3.5 minutes once a year getting a free permit (I just did it) if means someone else might have gotten educated and I don't have to end up putting out the smoking fire they left behind.Then what’s the point.

That wasn't my experience. When I first got stationed out there I didn't know I needed one (even for propane grilles and whatnot) a Forrest Ranger was driving around checking yellow post sites and stopped at mine introduced himself asked if I had a permit for the grille I was using. I looked at him like he was crazy (I had Texas tags as well) and he pulled a permit out of his truck explained it to me had me read it and sign it, chatted with me a bit about yellow posts sites and the specific ntl forrest I was in then bid me a good day and drove back down the mountain. That was one of the only times I ever saw a Forrest Ranger out there.Given everything else that state has done since I left, my guess is more sinister.
