Lots of folks on the trails this summer, which is great to see people outside and moving.

This may come as a shock to some, but Yellowstone is a National Park, not a petting zoo. That means the animals are actually wild. Want to enjoy wildlife in public lands? Keep these guidelines handy:

-Keep your distance
-Don't feed wildlife
-Don't harass or provoke
-Be respectful to others when
trying to view

As always, Adventure Responsibly!

Following these will keep you safe as well as the wildlife.

In our digital world, everyone is a "photographer," or content creator in some way. Many have found that taking photos/videos and making in the outdoors can generate a lot of engagement on social media, and in many cases, a revenue stream. With more people than ever discovering and enjoying the outdoors, it's more important than ever to strive to put Nature First when creating content in the outdoors and on public lands.

"is built on seven core principles that help communicate how each of us can enjoy nature photography responsibly. The Seven Principles of Nature First Photography were developed to help educate and guide both professional and recreational content creators in sustainable, minimal impact practices that will help preserve nature’s beautiful locations."

As warmer weather is on the way, that means more people on the trails! So, not only is this an opportunity to re-share previous work, it's an opportunity to remind all hikers, especially you noobs, of the importance of having the 10 essentials with you (or some form of them depending on your activity).

Unfortunately Search and Rescue efforts have exploded in recent years (up 40% in some areas) and many of those calls could be reduced by * gasp * being prepared! And actually assessing your abilities. I know, I know, being prepared and responsible is soooo old-school. But, old-school is the new cool.

The 1954 7th edition of the Boy Scout Handbook contains an amazing phrase in bold letters: Let no one say - and say it to your shame- that all was beauty here until you came. It is honestly quite profound. Of particular Interest is that the issues we try to bring to light today (albeit much more prevalent and wide scale of litter, vandalism and lack of respect for our wild places) were still needing to be taught back then.

it feels like old principles of respect and responsibility in the outdoors are more seen as a relic to be avoided than embraced. As litter and vandalism continue to be an issue, one does wonder if people genuinely don't know, or do they just not care? Both scenarios are concerning.

Many on social media have found that blasting sensitive locations, Geotagging specific spots and advertising to their thousands of followers to “add these 10 hidden gems to your bucket list now” brings lots of likes and engagement. They then argue that not doing such things is "elitist" and "gatekeeping."

While we’re not “anti -Geotagging, we are pro responsible Geotagging, and above all, responsible visitation. If an area is very well known or obvious, or you want to tag a general location and/or especially an area that does have the resources and infrastructure to handle visitors, knock yourself out. For these more sensitive areas- areas that has no infrastructure, are seasonally sensitive or fragile environments, the plea is to consider your actions, and above all consider that of your thousands of followers, perhaps there may be a few in there who don’t have nature's best interest in mind and aren’t going to put nature first. Not geotagging on social media isn't about preventing anyone from access. It does not stop anyone from going outside, doing some research, being more prepared and putting in the time to be more respectful in their actions.

However, to that, the question is if not putting a specific Geotag with detailed instructions in the name of "helping all get outside" is gatekeeping, what is it called when we are physically barred from locations due to mass overcrowding, litter, poor behavior, and vandalism?

This news article is just one more example in a list of over 50 that we collected of locations/public lands being closed, access restricted or changed, permanently altered, and so on due to the need for fake Internet points by blasting locations.

This is the great irony in our digital age: People blasting locations in an attempt to “stop gatekeeping,” actually creates literal gates being made on public lands.

Food for thought.
