{ 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.

We woke up to 15 degrees the other morning near Silverton, so I’d thought I share some tips about how we stay warm in the van.
1) The most important is our heater. We have a Webasto Dual Top Evo 6, which heats both the air and the water off of the diesel. It’s super efficient, and we don’t have to carry a secondary fuel source for our heat. @outsidevan installed our Webasto in a cabinet in the garage right next to our water tank and on the same side of our van as all of our plumbing lines. The hot air comes out from a vent at the bottom of our dinette and rises right up to the bed. The dual top is an expensive piece of equipment, so if don’t care about the hot water, the version that just heats the air is much cheaper (and takes up less room). The hot water is certainly nice for doing dishes on cold mornings and for the occasional rinse off, but I consider the hot water a luxury, while the hot air is an absolute necessity.
2) Busting out the winter attire. Down puffy, warm boots, and fleece-lined leggings, etc. This stuff has been stored in a duffel bag in the garage all summer.
3) Looking for campsites that get morning sun, which makes it a lot easier to get moving.
4) HOT DRINKS
5) Good insulation!
6) You lose insulation through your windows. Think about this if you’re considering installing rear windows right by where your head is going to be when you sleep. If you have a lot of windows, I recommend insulating window coverings that will prevent heat loss and cool drafts.
7) We’ve been doing a lot more cooking inside the van.
8) Which leads to spending more time overall inside the van.
7) And more time inside the van is our cue to move south...until ski season that is.

I’m really proud of the fact that the BFT community is a responsible and respectful group of outdoor enthusiasts that care about their impact as tourists (which if you EVER travel, you fall into the category of tourist).
In places like @discovermoab, record visitation is a boon to the local economy, but even with the best behaving tourists there is inevitably wear and tear on the environment and the local community.
•••
When planning your first visit to Moab, Utah, it’s essential to understand this unique desert environment so you can be prepared for a fun and safe trip while being a responsible and respectful visitor at the same time. A few missteps in the desert can have a lasting negative impact.

Our new Moab blog post will get you up to speed so you know what to look out for, how to be prepared, and how to be a responsible outdoor enthusiast when you visit this adventure hub.
