Right. I was so angry when I walked up to the lake, looked down and saw that line in the bush. You know they saw it before walking away. If something small falls out of your pack without you noticing it that's one thing. This was simply not caring and there is too much of that all around the mountains.

You da man, Amani. Seriously, good message, though. It's also on us outdoorspeople to bring a bag to clean up, unfortunately, after those that don't observe the same care for our outdoor treasures.

A lot of us pick up other people's trash. The point of these videos I put up from time to time is to reach people newer to the outdoors and kids. Get them focused on the issue and start them off right. Long time litterbugs are a lost cause. I think that's just who they are which is despicable.

My new favorite, especially on the Winnemucca trail, are people who pick up their dog poop and put it in a bag but then leave the bag on the side of the trail.

@wildernesswithamani1027

Right! That absolutely drives me crazy! If they are going to that, skip the bag and just leave the dog crap. It will break down. I'll do a clip on it next time I see it so maybe we can get that message through their thick skulls!

I went on a short hike in Lassen National Park once and hauled along a small cooler with some snacks and drinks. after we ate, I stashed in near the trail while we hiked around the lake. Not only did someone steal my cooler, but they dumped out the trash so they wouldn’t have to carry the weight. I don’t understand why these people even go to the trouble to get to places they obviously don’t appreciate.

It's amazing someone could leave all of that line tangled in a bush at the water's edge and just walk away without caring. Anyone who has been doing that sort of thing for years can't be reached because they obviously don't care. My target audience for this type of clip that I put up on occasion is individuals who are inexperienced in outdoor activity and this is a message that can stick with them. Kind of like my videos on stuff like rattlesnake safety, bear safety, having enough water on hikes, etc. Same goal. The difference is this type of problem effects everyone who has the misfortune of seeing it.

I get very upset when I see this kind of thing too. A few yrs ago I caught a pair of pretty college aged girls about to leave all kinds of garbage behind at this beautiful alpine lake here in the Cascades. I reminded them nicely to pick up after themselves...one of them got nasty with me and told me to F-off and it was none of my business. then a few other people joined in the discussion when they saw her yelling at me. Soon about 9 people there joined in to chastize these girls and the quiet one just went and picked up while the nasty on just kept calling the rest of us names. A beautiful day in a beautiful place turned into a s**t show for everyone because of these nasty princesses. a couple followed them back to the trail head and I did'nt see any garbage dumped along the way so I guess they took it with them...the whole thing was rediculous...

I'm glad you called them out on it and a crowd let them have it. The nasty girl sounds like a horrible human. The other one sounds like there is hope for her. I lived at the beach in San Diego for a couple of decades and I got into a couple of altercations with dudes walking away from their trash on the beach. Unfortunately, it didn't stop at yelling but those were my crazy years. I despise people who knowingly littler in beutiful environments. Littering is horrible any time but a place like you describe in the Cascades is the worst case scenario in my eyes.

That was a couple decades ago but I'm not sure I'd play it any different today! People who know me know those aren't just words!

I once backpacked up to Duck Lake. I came across a pristine meadow below the outlet creek. It was so beautiful. Then I noticed that someone had taken a big dump right in the middle of it with about half a roll of TP . Good God!
