Finally in my cabin off grid ( YAY )! But anywhoo.... I'm walking home from town this afternoon, a bit over a mile but an easy walk. Easy enough that out of towners tend to wander the public trail for a short walk or look see. Nothing really to see except trees and the train when it passes by. The trail is maintained by our community council and signs along the trail notify the tourists that any trail leading off the main trail is private property and to please stay on the trail. So these three goobers ahead of me stop and read the sign, they continue on up the trail to the second bridge, the bridge my property boarders on all four sides ( odd piece of land but it works ). My trail goes across the first section of my land and underneath the bridge to where my dog lot and cabin is. They are crossing under the bridge and headed down my trail as I'm going over the bridge, the trail that has 3 private signs on it. So I yelled over the railing asking them where they thought they were going and that I had seen them read the BIG community sign about private trails and had they not seen my signs at the top and middle of my trail.
Well sure we did but everyone knows Alaskans mark everything private even public stuff and we know this is a public trail.
So that's what I learned today.. Private means help yourself and please feel free to tramp through my yard.

When government is in the business of stealing the property of one group to give to another, and also in the business of education, what do you expect? There is no respect, and no enforcement, of property laws from what I can see.

I'd be down to the local folks whose job it is... and asking about enforcement or how far I can legally go next time if they can't handle it.
Should I call the coroner first or whom?
That will generally get some action around here.

Maybe a sign that says: One Step Further and I Release the Hounds!
Neighbors north of me asked permission to pass thru, no problem at all they are neighbors but the ones that aren't neighbors and are just asses about respecting private property can take a hike.

A loud barking mean dog would probably help them think twice, I would think.
Otherwise, maybe some redneck junk "guarding" the trail so that they know someone owns it and stakes a claim to it.

Is a fence out of the question? I know you are off the grid and shouldn't have to use one but......
You can piddle with the puppies, or run with the wolves...

When you make that, finish it by "signing" it as "The Baskervilles." Should (at the very least) keep the educated yupies out

A sign: "Hannibal, the Lecher" might keep a few away.

"Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."
My all time favorite which I read about somewhere was a sign posted on some private property owned by a gay hunting group. "Private Property! Trespassers will be violated"
Nice to hear from you, Annie. Been awhile.

Persecution is a much better solution than prosecution too. I have very little faith in the courts. This is Alaska after all.

Saw one in Dallas Sat on an electric fence around a house that said:
TRESPASSERS WILL BE COMPOSTED!
But seriously, you can get official-looking signs at a feed store warning about "electric fence".
Leave a few wire strands hanging from insulators. Use those to remind you where the trip cables are.
