Ah yes, but don't you see the problem here?  Not only will our 
wilderness skies become filled with little delivery drones, but those 
hikers who will be seeking to break a speed record, will have their 
supply drones attacked by the attack drones of those who already hold 
the record and who don't want to see the record pass on to another 
hiker.  Before you know it, there will be full-on areal battles with 
flaming drones crashing into the forest resulting in wild fires 
springing up everywhere!  Why then we will need little drone tankers and 
little helicopters trying to fight the fires, hay, they may even try to 
steel your platypus!
