Every report ends in one of five verdicts, plus one honest non-answer. This is what each one means and what it takes for us to use it.
A rule expressly allows it, or we verified that no prohibition reaches the pin. Nobody can fine you. The usual backcountry manners still apply: respect fire bans, leave nothing behind.
No written rule covers the spot, and above the tree line the practice is accepted. There is nothing anyone could fine you under, but also no right on paper you could point to. Discretion keeps it that way.
Wildcamping is possible, but a named rule attaches a condition: the landowner's consent, a permit, a fee, or a season. The report names the condition and the route to satisfy it.
You will not find a fine here, but the answer is still no: the owner refuses, the setting is protected, or the spot itself is unfit for a tent. We give the reason instead of a penalty.
A named rule bans camping at the pin: a federal hunting ban area, a communal camping regulation, or a court order. The report cites the exact norm and the realistic fine.
The research hit a wall we say openly: conflicting rules, an unreachable authority, or a boundary that cannot be verified. The report shows what we know and what is missing.
Every verdict covers one night in a tent, exactly at the pin: set up at dusk, packed by morning. Campervans, groups, or multiple nights often fall under different rules.
One rule for ourselves: Illegal and It depends only exist with a named norm, meaning a law, a regulation, or a court order. If no norm reaches the pin, the verdict cannot be worse than Tolerated.
