Replied "The number of permits are limited so it will reduce the number of people entering fragile and certain wilderness areas. Not all trails need a permit. Check https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/willamette/passes-permits/recreation/?cid=fseprd688355"

Replied "Locals can go to hundreds of trails spontaneously. The permitting is for fee areas and you can reserve a permit 7 days prior to the hike - planning allows to prevent a glut of hikers and prevents too many in fragile areas. Plan ahead."

Commented "People are naturally lazy, permitting will slow down the flow of people to the mountains and trails allowing them to recover form decades of use and abuse. Don't listen to the negatives - they are complainers and take the permitting to the extreme of "what next - breathing fees?" Hardly, relax folks"
