If You Love the Outdoors, Off-Roading, and Public Lands, Police Your Own

There's a known rule that while 90% of any given group is generally following the rules, being courteous, and treating others with respect and fairness, the 10% that are yahoos, awful, and terrible in every respect will get the most coverage. Squeaky wheel and such. 

That truism can be applied to outdoor recreation, as the vast majority of folks are good people. They care about the environment, how we leave a trailhead, how we leave the trail, and aren't slinging rocks at Mach Jesus while passing those along an off-road trail. It's true of hunters, fishermen, off-roaders, UTVrs, dirt bikers, climbers, hikers, campers, and literally every group enjoying our public lands. 

And recently, we nearly lost it all.
