Interesting topic. Wouldn't think to leave my stuff behind, unless I lived by the lake and could watch it (but that's the ol' city boy in me - if you want to keep it, put a lock on it, or bring it inside).
So do they mind if you use their chairs and drill some fresh holes if they're not there? Maybe they could leave a heater too, that'd be cool.
I think the difference on the campground thing - would be if you pay a fee, or if you just drop it somewhere in an "undeveloped" camp area. If it's "public" land - don't see anyone has a "right" to squat it. And if they do, and they aren't there, I'd say - drill a hole right next to the tent/hut, and enjoy. Being as how I've had ATVs and PowerAugers show up outside my tent, not but 15 feet away - to HE-double toothpicks with it!
I thought I'd heard some wood-shanty deali-os get constructed on Mantua. Wouldn't be surprised.
Now if ya leave a dog out there to guard it - we're onto a whole 'nother topic!
