Ed, You say," I suspect ground preparation for a few kilometers from camp and on your property may not need a permit." I think you are a dreamer. The government needs money any way it can get it. I am fairly sure they will need a permit. They probably need a permit to dig a hole for the outside latrine. Not only will they likely need a permit but the government will fumble half the summer away with crap nonsense before they issue it and all the time at further expense to us NOT shareholders. Gotta pay for those excess government employees and their fat pensions you know. The bureaucrats know how to turn a days work into a week or two. Enough to make one regurgitate yesterdays meals.
