To honor our great national parks we wanted to do an episode about the principles of Leave No Trace. There are certain guidelines and ways to show respect to not only the parks, but the parkgoers, and learning about Leave No Trace is a great way to become more educated on what you should or should not be doing on a trip to a national park. We also have some fun saying whether certain parks are overrated or underrated.   Visit https://www.realbushwhackers.com/parkmadness for more details about Park Madness.   FOLLOW BUSHWHACKERS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realbushwhackers/ Website: https://www.realbushwhackers.com   FOLLOW CHANDLER: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandler_photos33/ Website: https://www.chandlerphotos.com   FOLLOW LUKE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelukefurman/ Website: https://www.thelukefurman.com   FOLLOW BDOTES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bdotes/   Produced by Black Spire Media
