Two levels here.

1. Is it legal?

2. Is it ethical?

The first is easy to answer.

If it's on private property just trespassing is going to be an issue. Best to try to talk to the owner if you can get ahold of them.

The second question is more subjective. It sounds harmless to me personally, but I'd put myself in the land owners shoes. If I found out someone was doing that without asking me I might understand, but I wouldn't be happy.

I think if you met me in that situation, you would be happy to share.

I still don't remember signing that contract that made me subject to other peoples rules. I am a good man and I know it. Good enough for me.

I am not bothering anyone

Makes me think of the book, the Stanger in the woods, the last hermit

You are doing no harm, just continue as you are.

I also help maintain their road and they also don't know about that.

🤔

Exactly. There is always some fair exchange taking place.

There is my life. I never want to take from anyone. I tend to always give more whenever I can. It feels good.

That's why I am blessed with "free" water

This may be a sign that you feel that you have abundance.

Ironically, trying to give more, the universe balances this and it will come back to you.

The same for those who try to take more from others, will pay in other ways at some point. Duality is everywhere.

I feel that and I appreciate you reflecting it back to me. I think I am ready for more. Been living in a scarce place ever for a long time.

I'm not making any moralistic judgments here, but the issue comes down to property rights.

If you enjoy the benefits of property rights (everyone does whether they realize it or not) then it's best to respect the property rights of others.

Of course there are always gray areas. That's up to you to determine.
