So much wrong with this narrative. First off, getting this out of the way: It's "BIPOC" now? How am I supposed to know who I'm being racist against if they keep changing names?
I can't wait to see the new National Park uniforms. Maybe they could adopt antifa fashion.
I recall camping in my late teens and early twenties. I had some of the cheapest gear you could imagine, including still using my old Boy Scout mess kit for cooking. But I guess it's racist if you can't afford all North Face and MSR gear. Even when the folks took us camping when I was a kid, about the only piece of "camping equipment" we had was a cheap canvas tent from Kmart. My mom packed up kitchen utensils and whatever food from the kitchen to cook for us. Anything else, my dad made or adapted.
Black people have had connections to nature and the land? It seems Europeans pioneered their way from one coast to another. That doesn't mean blacks don't have some inherent connection, but don't say white people aren't good at roughing it.

This isn't organic.
It's a coordinated message being promulgated throughout the whole leftist outdoor industry.
The gaslighting message is "we're doing this because we're listening to you".
Nothing works the way we think it does. They will sacrifice profits and market share to promote their agendas.
It's not capitalism but a form of leftist fascism.

Shouldn't Elizabeth Warren be all over this?
Because... CAMPING IS A HUMAN RIGHT!

Camping is often called America’s favorite outdoor activity. But camping and national parks have a complicated past when it comes to racial equality and equal access for all.
IMHO, the biggest issue with respect to equal access to all is that most national park land area is very far removed from where I live. In fact, most national park land area is very far removed from where most of the population lives. That's not racism, that's geographic discrimination.

!00% Agree. I like mountain climbing. If the NPS could move a couple of peaks (ideally over 14,000') into FL so we could all use them, I'd appreciate that. Right now they seem to be clustered in blue states (CA, WA, OR, and CO), so just tell those states "From each [state] according to their means, to each [state] according to their needs." I'm sure they'll understand.

Luckily we have great and high peaks in Idaho that are not encumbered by National Parks and their rules. I believe we're the only Western state with no National Parks. Come out to Idaho and climb a mountain with your machine gun, raft the river of no return (like the Black Rifle Coffee guys do), build a campfire with real wood, shoot or catch your dinner, and follow it with whiskey and a cigar and no SJW Park Rangers to tell you that you're killing the Earth. =D

This reminds of a thing the left was pushing that blacks found it hard to vote because they didn't know where to go register.
So a Youtube guy went to a neighborhood in NYC and asked a whole bunch of black adults if they knew where the DMV was. Turns out they did.
It's all part of the concept that blacks are too stupid to figure things out and therefore the rest of us have to do things or put up with things (whatever those things happen to be) to make sure these poor unfortunates can make it through life.
It enfeebles them, entraps us, and empowers and enriches those who push this agenda.

You'd think with her claimed ancestral heritage Ms. Warren would have had plenty of camping experience.

Exactly. Leftists think black people are stupid. I don't really know any other way to explain stuff like this.
Also, when they say black people have had this stripped from them, wasn't that their choice? My understanding is black people essentially migrated to the cities for jobs because that was where the industry was. Same reason a lot of other people moved there.

Yellowstone spills over into Idaho.

Yellowstone spills over into Idaho.
Does it? Or is that the Cariboo-Targhee National Forest?

Yellowstone might spill over to the east coast one day.
When I was younger we camped in an old tent or we might do truck camping at the river. Plenty of people liked to catch the catfish.
Color didn't matter everyone was welcome at the fire and the bank.

It took several maps before I found one with sufficient detail, but I was able to answer my own question. Yellowstone does extend into Idaho. The line between Yellowstone and the Cariboo-Targhee National Forest is a strait line that runs parallel to the state boundary, but west of it. In fact, it looks like the intent was for Yellowstone to end at the state line but the surveyors missed it by thaaaat much.

True, but even the NPS doesn't seem to give Idaho any NPS cred. If you search for National Parks in Idaho, the only sites most webpages list are the monuments and stuff. The small Idaho part of Yellowstone is actually pretty nice. Not as much of the "famous scenery" associated with Yellowstone, but plenty of buffalo, and some nice fishing spots. Most people just seem to use it as an entrance though.

I remember seeing this type of message being pushed in an Outdoors magazine maybe 3-4 years ago.
