I used to do volunteer work w/the Forest Service, helping maintain trails. I've seen rules and laws like this before. Usually, they're trying to limit the damage careless people cause to the parks, and to themselves. I've heard of people dying as they tried to get that perfect selfie. These types of laws make it harder on those of us that respect the wilderness ("leave no trace"). I've seen the damage careless people do to the wilderness. They wouldn't pass these types of laws if people were more respectful of the places they visit.
Bullshit! If this were true, how does one collect a fine from a youtuber/ticktoker who died doing something stupid? This is nothing more than generating another revenue stream. BTW, a law that tramples all over Constitutional rights is Unconstitutional. Go ahead YT, shadowban this comment too.
Hi Luke it's nice there not minding the weather ,thanks for sharing hope everything works out with taking videos in the parks ,they want to take away everything from the people trying to make a living stay safe and blessed
Unfortunately it's a two edged sword, we've had You-Tubers abuse our National Parks out here in the Western United States all in an effort to ' Produce A Video '. Sadly not all show the respect you do for our wild places like you do . Again another great video.
Yep, there is a spectrum of people out there and there are those that cause problems with their selfish behavior resulting in the rest of us being impacted. Don’t reward those behaviors with views and say something if you see it. Make them uncomfortable. There should be no positive feedback.
ROFL it's pronounced bow-luh-nayz. Bolognese sauce is a meat-based sauce in Italian cuisine, typical of the city of Bologna. It is customarily used to dress tagliatelle al ragù and to prepare lasagne alla bolognese.
Luke, for any outdoor adventure I use a written ""camping" check-list no matter what; regardless, of how long I'll be out. It's never failed me yet. I know if I didn't use the check-list things -might- go wrong. Perhaps, an old idea, but it works. Another great video as usual. Have a good day.
I do this also. Apparently it is a common way to commit things to memory, writing it down too. Like having actually hand written a list, you’re more likely to remember that you brought a specific thing with you ☑️
I love to watch your videos. We camp with a small camper not daring enough to go hiking. I know its just me. But i watch because your calm and i enjoy and listen to your info you share. Always good to be prepared. Thanks for sharing youf adventures!!!
Glad you spoke about the new park regulations concerning utube filming. It's ridiculous and I hope it's dropped soon. Slowly but surely we loose our freedoms. ☹️
I have to say that in the past three years I've seen so many so called "productions" by people who said they were RU-vidrs. Before I really knew what they were about, I approached them and we had friendly interactions. It wasn't until afterwards and I saw what they left behind that I realized that they didn't understand the "leave no trace" concept. What they understood was "number of clicks." That's how they generate income. It was a benign issue before the pandemic, but it has become a big problem since 2020. This is what prompted these new laws. Such a shame.
@@user-bo1rj2xu2s been limited up here in Alaska for quite a while and had nothing to do with YTers but that certainly isn't helping things. And it has nothing to do with Trump or people that like him @Everett. 🙄
That tarp is a most excellent size. Not too heavy for the beast. I always carry a back up solid fuel stove, the same one you carry, in my pack and in my EDC day pack, no matter what stove I plan to use as my main stove. I can put a couple of solid fuel tabs in it, close it and it’s there…no matter what.
Sorry Luke meant to add I look forward to my Thursday evening because that when I get to watch your next video, and I always love them. Take care love from Great Britain 🌧🌩⛈👍👍👍
Great video, Luke. Your Turmat meal is pronounced "Bow-lun-aay-see". The ""G" is silent, the "lun" rhymes with gun. No matter how you pronounce it, it is delish.
Actually there has been a lot of youtubers, tiktokers and others on social media that have destroyed and vandalized in National Parks trying to go viral. The cost that they have created in some parks have been can't be measured because the damage cannot be repaired.
Could it also be that so many ppl making some different type of content have been injured while doing stunts at national parks. And this maybe a way to help limit those types of activities
@@sandramorris7774 At the end of the day that doesn’t address the flagrant violation of our rights. We have the right to record in public and in public areas/buildings. It’s a constitutional right. They cannot just throw up any law they want without it being constitutional. The parks are and always will be public land.
Awesome video Luke thanks for bring us along with you beautiful forested area always epic videoography , always an epic adveture or review appreciate both.
Hi Luke that trail you found does sound weird,, cannot wait till weather gets better to find out where it leads. wow that is a big storm.. So sorry the weatherman didn't predict it right... lots of rain.. but always an awesome video,, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for taking us along on your short trek. Always a good trip. It does suck how much the gov't feels the need to control and have a piece of everything we do. Yes I'm still here. (I'm always here. Bwahahaha) Glad you got back to the truck safe. Semper Paratus. Stay safe and God bless.
Well that was refreshing Luke👍👍 Imagine, Luke out on a day camp adventure and it's foggy, windy, rainy with thunder and lightning, starts hailing...no way, tell me it wasn't so..🤣 I've become so used to this, it'll be a shock when it doesn't happen. Yeah, lawsuits incoming! I can see it now. Great video and filming as always, thanks for the work, it's hard. Enjoy!
Great video. Would love for you to show us how to build a temporary shelter/fire in such wet conditions if, for example, someone did get soaked and needed to warm up/dry out. Great stuff - thanks for sharing!
That really isnt his cup of tea. Not to be pedantic but its in the name, outdoor Gear Review. In all honestly his videos are directed at very experienced outdoorsman even more specifically towards ultralight hikers. He doesn’t do videos teaching survival techniques to novices.
Hello 👋 Luke, thank you for sharing another outdoor adventure. The green forest is an appropriate name. Who proposed the filming ban in the National Parks/Forests? All the best to you and Susie. Stay safe out there. I like your choice of 🎶 music. It's quite dramatic and suspenseful. 🤗 👋
Those spindly trees crack me up. I’m sure they are bigger than they appear. And that spoon that looks gigantic. Probably not as big as it seems. Good job hanging in the rain.
I absolutely love your videos and channel! It's too bad you are unable to film in National Parks in US anymore without high fees and permits. What a wonderful viewer that emailed you that night =D Maybe you and your wife can visit Canada and explore national parks there? If there are no similar restrictions/laws in Canda, that would be awesome! That would be a nice mini Vacation, if you had the time. =D
The problem is, it's not a "law" in the sense that Congress thought it would be important enough to address. It's a federal agency making "laws" out of thin air. It's beyond time to halt federal agencies from making rules and enforcing them that Congress never authorized them to make. If it's important enough for the Department of Interior to charge fro an application and a permit, it's important enough for Congress to debate it and vote on it. As it is, we're stuck after the fact, and Congress would have to draft an actual law to unwind an administrative law that was never passed by Congress. This is how you get stuck with a filming permit, your gas stove regulated out of existence and your pension being invested based upon something other than gaining income without Congress ever discussing it, let alone voting on it.
I feel like banning people from experiencing natural environments should be against human rights, in other countries governments have simply designated such environments as the right of the people to experience and explore as well as look after...for a government to tell a human being you are not allowed to experience nature feels inhumane to me.
You left out a big chuck of the issue. They want people to experience the parks, but to leave the parks as they found them. I've seen the problem up close....YT, IG, and other content creators need dramatic events to get a lot of clicks, likes and shares. So, they alter the area to suit their needs and have zero understanding of "leave no trace." Their impact is huge and detrimental.
@user-bo1rj2xu2s This is a generalisation issue, not all campers are banned because some are arseholes who leave rubbish or scorch marks, you prosecute those or fine those causing the damage or issues. The same, i feel, should apply to content creators.
sounds like the NPS have had enough of a probable small percentage of RU-vid/tiktok etc content creators acting possibly dangerously that they have just instilled a blanket "ban" on all. sounds bloody stupid when you think about it but can also see as to why a choice has been made. personally i think its too far a swing to compensate but it is what it is. goes back to the old rule of, "a small group ruins things for the majority".
Agreed. We have to speak out against it when we see it happening and not view their content or share it or even comment as that rewards them algorithmically (is that a word?). Just hit the dislike and move on. I wish you could block people on RU-vid!
@@SoloHiker1 if I did I would state categorically state the issue but I don't hence why I said sounds like and gave a educated guess from my experience of what happens or has happened in other similar problems.
Another awesome video my man. Do you get "the fear" when you are out solo in places like that? I mean like fear of predatory animals or potential injury say, god forbid..... a slip resulting in a leg break or something.
That’s terrible about the new national park regulations. I glad you got a heads up. I can’t imagine what reason they would have for enacting this law tbh. Your channel and other channels are great advertisements for the outdoors in the USA. I’d have thought they would bring tourism in. The area you were in today reminds me of an old forest I used to trek as a boy in central Scotland. I hope this law is overturned. Seems like overreach just to make some quick money from permits. Best wishes 🙏🏻
Awesome vid and another interesting adventure, thank you. Sad to hear about the National Park System decision to be greedy, I hope it gets tested and changed.
It's the social media content creators whose primary goal is to generate income who are greedy. Luke and Susie love and respect the outdoors. Many RU-vidrs don't; they know that the more impactful the video, the more clicks they'll get, and they don't understand "leave no trace." Social media content has become a big problem for the park systems throughout the country.
Best preparedness is to plan ahead rain gear and waterproof tent and sleeping bag in a summer like conditioning in a weather patterns of winter time and spring times will change no matter what the local weather news says. And 20% of the weather news reporters don't always have been right so far .
Always informative Luke. Thanks for the update on the NPS. Definately a "freedom of speech" issue, about as bad as an ESA/Service animal contract on rental houses. Such a shame people dont know the laws regarding both. Thanks again! 👍😎
Film. Just never state where you are in the video. Say you are on private property or a state park. It's not essential to know where you are to enjoy the video.
I first heard about the permit requirement on Vegas Vtech RU-vid. Joey from that channel had been reporting on the water shortages of the Colorado River and state of the dams. The Corp of Engineers and Interior Dept. did not like the truth of frankly the impeding failure of the irrigation system and power shortages it appears and the permits suddenly were born. Just more control and denial of Citizen access.
I just looked it up, and according to what I found, it has been illegal without a permit for a long time, though the law is severely outdated. It was based on large production films, which require full crews, large cameras and gear. It was never updated since the introduction of the personal video cameras and cell phone video recording. That's why there's the difference between taking photos being legal but video is illegal. The law REALLY needs to be updated. I'm guessing it came up recently because some jerk Park rangers were being petty.
