This isn't the sort attitude that warms a landowner's heart or makes him more likely to open his land to campers.

You should be aware that your idea of "well away from anyone's home or farm land or equipment" and what the owner's may be two very different ideas.

It's so easy to simply ask for permission that it seems a shame to risk causing problems for yourself (and the next cyclist who comes down the road) by desiding you know what someone else should or should not care about.

FWIW, we used to allow hunting on all our farms. We don't do that any more, because a few people took it on themselves to decide what might be OK and not OK on our farm. Now no one hunts, and the land gets posted during hunting season.
