No, it's not the Ace of Spades... it's the King of Trowels!
Of course, masks are optional.

[...] Stef tieing in with his previous post has been busy with photoshop (or whatever the art package is he uses) and knocked up a wild camping identity card in “Pick a card… any card…” [...]
Nothing like opening up a fresh can worms then
The way I see it is this:
If we don't identify ourselves as being different to other groups such as new-age travellers, weekend revellers, ravers and the like, we'll always be pigeonholed with them (I've nothing against these other groups, btw, it's just that I see distinctions based on objectives). This is all the more likely while our activity has no basis in law and while there is no regulatory body which could offer support. If offsite-camping is banned because of the inappropriate actions of one of these other groups, we'll all be tarred with the same brush so we'll all sink together, which would be unfair.
I don't like over-regulation and card-carrying any more than anybody else does, but if it's looked on as a privilege rather than an Orwellian jackboot, it's more appealing.
A proportion of any registration fee could be donated to a suitable organisation, such as Mountain Rescue, Air Ambulance, CPRE, there are many options here.
I'm just bouncing around some ideas, not carving rules in granite slabs!
EDIT: Having thought about this a bit further, I'm putting this comment into a new post.
Masks should be mandatory - it is wild camping, not mild camping after all
