There are plenty of tools, but they need the people to use them, if you're 
serious, the trail needs the help.   A good take, is volunteering for a week 
through the ATC for a week during the season.  They'll feed you and after the 
week, you get a T-Shirt.  In the meantime, you'll most likely get a "weak 
back" that will last for memories.
