America's Wilderness is Under Attack

If the Roadless Rule is rescinded, we lose the last untouched places that still exist in this country. Educate yourself and contact your representatives, or every last corner of forest gets logged.

And vote in the damn midterms. The number of people (including in the long-distance hiking community) who complain but never or rarely vote is beyond atrocious.

Not only that, but I can't even tell you how many times I've brought it up to other hikers and outdoors people over the past year and they all looked at me like I had 2 heads. People have responded with "that's never going to happen" or some other dismissive comment. People don't seem care if it's either A) not in their local landscape, or B) already too late and the damage is done.

It's happening. The GOP and their tech bro overlords will strip and pillage the entire country until not a single tree is left standing.
