“Equating a concept like Leave No Trace with controlled burns feels like an unfair comparison when leave no trace is widely a for the PUBLIC to be more mindful of their impact (something many people still don’t do). In my knowledge LNT is less about park management practices like controlled burns and it just feels like frankly a dangerous equivalence to make. I’m sure there are ways that leaving a trace can be beneficial but I don’t think it’s useful to your general argument to encourage an generally uneducated public to consider those given how much damage we already do to the land currently. Again, I’m a fan of this show and it’s given me a lot to think about in good and hard ways, but talking about LNT the way you frame it here just feels irresponsible”
