A very long stretch (about 5/8 of the nearly 9000km total) of our border are just undefended forest. We have a 20-meter wide bare line known as "The Slash" through the woods, and hire workers to re-clear-cut it every 5 years or so. Otherwise if you were hiking in the deep woods, you could literally leave your country and have no awareness of it.
Naturally the places where the border is near more populated areas and large cities have proper checkpoints. Smuggling DOES rarely happen through The Slash... but quite honestly it's pretty rough terrain, with deep forest on both sides. You'd probably have an easier time sneaking something through the checkpoints in your car's trunk... and that way you can have air conditioning, radio, and stop for coffee as you smuggle. Much more pleasant experience (and much less likely to be eaten by a bear also.)
