Instagram post 17944507696307593 ${ DEUTER GIVEAWAY! } We ladies at BFT are all about @deuter_usa packs. I’ve been using them exclusively since my #JMT hike in 2014, and BFT’s Director Linda recently tested out the new AirContact Lite when she summited San Jacinto Peak in California and absolutely loved the fit.⠀ •••⠀ Whether you're squeezing in a backpacking trip this fall, planning an international adventure, or are prepping for hiking season next year, you will love the comfort of this pack and all the convenient touches that come with it. Deuter backpacking packs are fully adjustable to your torso length, have a supportive yet comfortable hip belt, and they are one of the only packs I’ve tried that pull heavy loads close enough to my back. For organization, they have a handy bottom compartment so you can pull out your sleeping bag and sleeping pad without unpacking the entire pack, well thought out external pockets, a detachable lid (a *new* feature) and more. •••⠀ Whoever wins this giveaway is gonna be so stoked next time they hit the trail. You also get to pick the specific Deuter Aircontact Lite pack you want including fit (men's or women's), color, and capacity.⠀ •••⠀ TO ENTER: ⠀ 1) Follow @bearfoottheory and @deuter_usa ⠀ 2) Like this post⠀ 3) Tag all the friends you'd like to go backpacking with below and tell us where you want to go. Each individual comment with a tag counts as an entry⠀ Winner will be announced later this week. Good luck and happy trails! ••• #sponsored #backpacking #deuter #deuterusa #hiking #outdoors #camping$

{ LET’S DISCUSS } If you see someone not following Leave No Trace or blatantly breaking regulations (like camping too close to the water), what do you do?
•••
I’ll admit, I’ve turned a blind eye several times when I’ve seen tents pitched two feet from the water or people cutting the trail. After hiking away, I thought, what a missed opportunity to educate someone who probably just didn’t know any better. Of course, safety comes first and you have to evaluate who you are working with, but I’d like to ask you all, what do you do when you find yourself in this situation? Ranting on social media after the fact (*guilty*) seems ineffective.
👇🏼Let’s share advice, experiences and ideas down in the comments so we are all better prepared next time in the wild.
And thanks to @vitruvianvan for posing this question in my comments the other day.
