That also goes for music. I took a hike back in March at a local nature preserve. I got to an overlook, sat down to take it all in when I heard some music blasting from across the quarry. Ear buds would have been really nice of that guy to use Totally agree. I was taking a nice walk through the woods a couple of months ago and some dingdong walks by blasting music from her cell phone. Heard someone playing it loud and open a few miles north of Forrester pass when on the JMT (work and the promise of mo' money intervened to kill off the rest of my thru-hike but still ... there is wildlife even on the JMT/PCT). Seriously thinking of a more ultralight kit i. Part so I can minimize this and other unwanted human interactions.

Hello all. Didn't know I contributed to an ongoing debate. To the anti-drone crowd, I'm "happy" to report there are now more "NO DRONE" signs than trees in the three national parks I visited this summer. I do believe its just a matter of time until rules are reduced. Obviously I don't want to interrupt animals or other visitors. However, common sense rules should be the future policy for national parks.

However, common sense rules should be the future policy for national parks. That's as may be, though I think common sense says that drones stay out of the parks. But in the meantime...I'd like to think we'd all follow the rules. If there are a lot of signs (I'll let the exaggeration pass), maybe it's because people seem to be resistant to obeying the law?

12 gauge ... check While I approve of the idea, discharging a firearm is banned in the NP's, the same as drones. Double whammy.

It looks like drones are rather dangerous.

However, common sense rules should be the future policy for national parks. Do you actually believe "Rules will be reduced" and allow remote controlled hovercraft in the NP's/Wilderness areas of the US Obviously I don't want to interrupt animals or other visitors, common sense rules should be the future policy for national parks. Can I infer this means you are a "drone" user yourself Good luck on that !! Tell them you also want to ride your MTB down the trails while chasing your drone. That will go over really well....

What's to explain? New forum user posts video, apparently of their ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. Admin ( bp2go) asks them to remove it, but posts this thread to explain where the post went and why. This thread really is a non-starter, gaining a brief (3 day) traction. Most people agree with admins decision, some relating how their hikes have been marred by drone activity, while a few note that there likely should be or are exemptions to the no drones rule for approved users (ex: SAR, scientists), I may have misread but I really didn't see any support for recreational drone use. Thread dies, disappearing for closing on 3 months, before original offender tries to resurrect it.

They're cool, but they do have a tendency of piling on. Stick around, they'll get nicer.

Hello all. Not trying to stir things up. Yes rules should be followed. No argument there. Just saying the popularity and ability to own is growing at such a exponential pace that future easing to regulations (in my opinion) will one day come. Plenty of places to fly without bothering others now.

Not now or in the future. At least not without severely gutting the Wilderness Act.
Along the Washington Mall, or the Gay Pride park in the West Village why not? Interesting photo perspectives and urban enough environments no one else's experience will be significantly adversely impacted. Wilderness? As you say, plenty of other places to entertain yourself with such toys.

If you take pictures near me in the wilderness and I have my fishing pole, you will lose your toy. Period.

Well I agree I'd rather be fishing than taking pictures.
