Collected from parks all across the country, these are actual comments left by backpackers after their experience in the wilderness.

A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. Is there any way I can get reimbursed? Please call.

Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands.

Ban walking sticks in the wilderness. Hikers using them are more likely to chase the animals.

All the mile markers are missing this year.

I found a smouldering cigarette left by a horse.

There are too many bugs, leeches, spiders, and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests.

Reflectors need to be placed on trees every fifty feet so people can hike at night with flashlights.

Need more signs to keep the area pristine.

The places where trails do not exist are not well marked.
