Lots of thru hikers that break federal and state laws all over the trail, then get panties in a wad because someone does something legal that they disagree with. Suck it. Bunch of whiney babies. Getting rid of shelters would be step to getting rid of these people, and much of the thru hiker number problems.
Getting rid of shelters gets rid of the thru hiker number problems? 8 people in a shelter...how many won't thru hike without it? 1? 2? Meh....

Besides, shelters serve their purpose. Not mine, but they have their place.

Somebody needs to go hiking...
