I agree there should be more tents w/stealth coloring.

Fine, good and well.......so long as the Campmor special is still available a month from now when the check hits. I hope that the price discount hangs around for you.

It seems that you already have several nice shelters what would serve you well. What are you looking for?

Perfection??? It doesn't exist. Most of the time "good enough" is as good as it gets.

A forest grown for timber could be considered "cultivated".

And while California has requirements for notification of unenclosed or uncultivated land, some states like Colorado do not. "Trespassing occurs when someone 'knowingly and unlawfully enters or remains' in or on a property in which they don’t have authorization or license to do so. There is no specific language concerning “posted” signs or proper notice." Further, in Colorado, trespassing can lead to a suspension of hunting and fishing privileges for several years. I know of some fishermen who have lost the privilege to fish because they unknowingly stepped across a boundary.

I also know ranchers who don't take kindly to trespassing. The local sheriff may give you a visit in the middle of the night and, at best, you'll have to pack up camp and move in the middle of the night. At worst, you might be hauled to the local jail to establish your identity and/or appear before a judge...all while your bicycle and other equipment remains at your illegal camp. And, considering that you trespassed initially, how likely is the landowner to allow you back on their property to retrieve your stuff?

Finally, I wouldn't take advice on US state trespass laws from someone in Sweden or any other nation, for that matter. The land use laws for other nations are very different.
