> If it’s 70m that’s still very close

“150 metres in Norway and in all countries far enough that you do not inconvenience anyone and particularly not those in the nearest house.”

> This will probably result in a chain of homeless people

Countries with Freedom to Roam laws have homeless people, too. What you describe has not happened.

> stay in your backyard for three days

Again, FUD about “your backyard”. Do you have a 250,000 sq. ft (2.24 hectares, 5.5 acres) back yard? Also, Freedom to Roam laws usually restrict camping to at most two nights, sometimes one night only.



Yes, I have a 24 acre backyard


Your usage of the word “backyard” differs from everybody else’s.


It definitely doesn’t, not according to the dictionary anyway.

As an aside, I think you may be underestimating how large American homes and properties can be, it’s not Europe scale. 5 acres really isn’t all that large.


What matters is how people here would interpret your statement “camping in my backyard”. I think most people here would interpret that as “too close for comfort”, not “somewhere within my 24 acre lot”. Therefore, your statement is misleading. Ergo, FUD.
