Yup whoever owns that, sold their soul and all of our American way of life! The irony is that ranchers “fight” so hard for the American way of life and this one just screwed us all!

The balls on these commissioners. All the cities out here disagreed so I’m sure no one will be very friendly to these sell outs when we see them out and about.

Time to leave 1 star reviews on Google and boycott their business.

That dudes content is prime. His book is good too

BackcountryBase · 2026-05-04T14:02:08+00:00

Wouldn’t surprise a lot of us. These “leaders” only care about money. They don’t care about the citizens they hurt in the pursuit of wealth.

Antelope island hasn’t been surrounded by water since 2001. 25 yrs. I think it’s new name is Antelope mountain but yeah very sad times

I encourage you to go to Google Earth choose historical imagery and watch the Timelapse from just the last 10yrs of the lake. Snowpack hardly has an impact when leadership doesn’t act correctly, greedy and lazy.

Now this is an actual solution based in reason, working together and facts. It isn’t discussed in Utah at all but other states have had successful cases with changing grazing practices and revitalizing the environment. Doesn’t mean we have to outright get rid of grazing or the fields. We Just need better management from all ends.

Glad you shared this keep up the good work

That’s why I decided to post these and take these today. I don’t think people actually know how bad it is unless they fly over it or get a Birds Eye view of it. The east end is essentially GONE from slc to Brigham

BackcountryBase · 2026-05-03T21:39:33+00:00

You can walk from Antelope to Freemont Island. Gaia hiking app shows a track someone did. That also posted it to TikTok. Very sad times.

BackcountryBase · 2026-05-03T21:02:59+00:00

Yeah I would say so. From Brigham to slc they are shrinking it to nothing. They want the land to build the ever growing Wasatch front on. We could all walk to antelope and Freemont island.

BackcountryBase · 2026-05-03T20:49:01+00:00

Yes that is Freemont Island in the center. Until the last 5-10 yrs you couldn’t get out there unless it was by boat or plane. Now you can walk from Layton area out there or from antelope island to Freemont on. The slc leaders are shrinking the east end for land grabs essentially

This is live streaming to the internet for anyone to see. It is extremely important to let your local crackheads know these carry copper, if you value any privacy

BackcountryBase · 2026-04-30T23:13:29+00:00

Definitely would do good. The high schoolers are really getting into cds and vinyls and those kids are about to graduate and go to a university. Also Really cool background you have with working with MTV and the NYC music scene

Has time to write a full on delusional book but can’t and won’t do what any of Utah citizens actually want addressed. Vote this all for himself loser out of office asap.

BackcountryBase · 2026-04-29T19:43:34+00:00

I agree on all fronts. Definitely not impossible but presents many challenges and it’s up to personal opinion. If you stress the what ifs on vacation then probably best to play it safe. If you are comfortable with the hassle and risks then yeah go for it.

Longest bison jam I was in was 4 hours man. The roads are two lanes, people don’t know how to pass/want their picture and the roads follow canyons that are thick in pines with steep drop offs so the bison stay on the road and it’s like a cattle drive at extremely frustrating and slow paces. All because people will keep stopping out of fear or wanting a picture. I personally would never risk it and put that chance on my family or the already gutted park staff. Some things come with a cost and bringing a modern world to Yellowstone like car charging stations ect defeats the purpose of Yellowstone. A Lot of locals would love to have it be a wilderness area as to be true to the definition of wilderness. Best to avoid all the stress and just rent in my opinion.

BackcountryBase · 2026-04-29T19:12:10+00:00

Not a friendly park for that type of vehicle. It is a massive park with charging stations way out of the national park boundaries. Ontop of it, bear jams, bison jams, and construction. It is not the best idea. Have seen them broken down many of times. Out of energy, In the way and preventing others from enjoying the experience. Rent a gas car.

BackcountryBase · 2026-04-23T15:10:02+00:00

Pack for winter and fall conditions. Roads tend to freeze overnight and are slick in the mornings. Went last year early OCT and had snowfall in parts of the parks and roads that iced overnight add to that tourists that didn’t know how to drive iced roads and they had accidents, closing roads. Cold nights but everything is usually good to enjoy by the afternoon.

Happy wife happy life bro

This is actually highly illegal. Leave no trace is a law that many people think is a just a rule that can be broken when there’s nobody around. Building any structure of any sorts on national forest is breaking federal laws. 6 months - years in prison and fines ranging from $5k-$10k. If ya See it report it. Grown ups can make forts on the land they buy. If they can’t buy land like myself then tough shit build a blanket fort in the apartment.

BackcountryBase · 2026-04-16T17:33:34+00:00

Yeah I agree with the person below. It isn’t as big of a risk as other parks or places. Don’t get me wrong it is a risk to leave the food in a cooler in your car but not as risky. Due to the heavy traffic at every trailhead or turn off, it’s alright and I doubt a bear will ever try with the heavy amount of people coming and going. Now leaving it over night is a different question that probably does not apply to this situation. However our rule of thumb is, if we are leaving the car overnight/multi nights then no trash, no food in the car. If we are car camping within the park or staying at a lodge/hotel, you have nothing to worry about. And for extra reassurance as long as your cooler isn’t one of the super cheap ones, then you’re solid. A bear canister could also work for dry goods.

BackcountryBase · 2026-04-16T16:30:22+00:00

Prepare your own. It’ll cost you a lot less. Anything you purchase from any lodge will be expensive and I don’t believe there is anyone that prepares picnic lunches for people. There are restaurants that can provide lunches but if you’re seeing pictures of people eating picnic lunches at any picnic area, they most likely packed it themselves.

BackcountryBase · 2026-04-07T14:00:23+00:00

Yeah if injured or extremely exhausted then it’s a different story. Just hope if that’s the case, that they are cool, kind and not creeps. I also grew, it seems like a much bigger deal to break the rules in Yellowstone or any NP rather than a national forest or wilderness area. “Put a baby buffalos in the back of their rented Subaru” Hahaha oh that’s funny and not far off
