Jason, you touched a nerve with me, I was on BLM in Quartzsite AZ. and people disposing of vehicles, furniture, and just garbage. Thanks for using your platform to raise awareness
Thank you Jason for helping keep our public lands clean which keeps our privilege of using these beautiful landscapes! Great video. I wish more RUclipsrs using public land would shine a light on this topic and how we can be more responsible land stewards and involved in cleanup efforts.
Jason, Thank you for participating in this organization and bringing our attention to it. It truly saddens and angers me to see nature and our public lands trashed in this way. Thank you to everyone to lends a hand in cleaning up, whether you do it in an organized group or on your own. Thank you!
Every time I go into the China Hat area from the northside, my heart sinks a little bit. As soon as you pass the golf course, it's just mounds and mounds of trash everywhere until you actually get back there where the riff raff won't go. Sadly I won't be in state this weekend, but I wish you all the best in this clean up effort. Thanks for taking the initiative here!
Nice to see you and Casey LaDelle on his channel covering this event! Public lands are held in trust for all Americans. It is literally your back yard that is being trashed. Kudos to all who take time out of their lives to help clean it up and make it a better place for all to enjoy.
It's all homeless people off that road. You should help bring those agencies on board too. I know the city wanted to rehab that old motel into shelter, but I think it fell through. Just a huge problem for everyone.
Respect the nature it gives us the space for us to be comfortable in return we all should respect mother nature . Very nice efforts to keep the nature clean 👍 shame who over looked this duty made mother dirty.
It really breaks my heart to see this kind of thoughtlessness. How encouraging it is, though, to discover a group like Public Land Stewards. I would love to get involved on a more national level. I could envision traveling around the U.S. camping, and joining clean-ups in various areas. Positive Vibrations
Great video to help bring awareness. We follow another YT channel van life folks who have inspired us to clean up at sites we camp. Heck, they even bring a rake and gather firewood for the next folks who use the sites. Mark (& Teresa)
Thanks for pointing out this issue that's a major problem.everywhere I go to primitive camp in Florida panhandle I have to cleanup my campsite before I can use it it's really sad that people don't care to cleanup after themselves and believe they're privileged to do as they wish.
Jason, you need to do forensic work on the garbage and start tracking these people down and arresting them. Citizens arrest. Then bring them on the channel and make them clean it up themselves. I’d love to watch that. Go get em bud!
Yes,I agree.like arlo Guthrie's song,"Alice's restaurant. Trace a serial no.or garbage receipt,licen se plate.set up cameras or something to catch these horrible people.so glad there are people who still care to save the land.i clean up in the parks I go to.or anywhere I walk.its getting bad.we cant even get the garbage man to take all our trash on pickup day.just 2 cans worth.its ridiculous
I'm in Florida near Ocala national Forest. Same problem there at the beginning of entry roads, but not as bad as what you have. It's usually locals dumping furniture, but they usually pick it up monthly.
As a strong proponent for Leave No Trace (LNT) I'm so glad to see you and others like Cody and Shelley of Dome Life use your platforms to touch on and participate in the clean up of our beautiful country. You are great role models for all of Americans to emulate. Thank for what you do.
Another organization to look at, even though they can be a lil wild, is the gambler 500 group, they do go out into central Oregon and do major cleanups, they are aiming for the crooked river grasslands this year. It is happening in June 10th-12th with the headquarters per se being at the Deschutes county fairgrounds.
It is a cultural change that needs to happen. Look at the street trash in the cities. If it is allowed with government authority and enforcement driving by and ignoring or tolerating it then people have less hesitation trashing public land that has even less enforcement and oversight. Sadly this isn't the first time you have shown trash sites, good work and thank you.
keeping sites cleaned up so they don't turn into larger dump sites really makes sense. thrilled to see this video and people in the comments inspired to do their part . will be trying to do better in the cleanup myself when I'm out there.
I am unable to head out this coming weekend but I will be in the area in mid June and my goal is to clean up as much as I can pack and carry for a 3 day weekend. ABG!! Love what you are doing, thank you for showing people how they can help.
Follow Casey LaDelle as well and wondered how close in proximity you were. Thank you for what your doing and making folks aware of PLS Bend and their efforts.
Thanks for boosting this effort. When recently I was able to finally get a proper 4x4 truck for overlanding, I told myself I wouldn't waste return trips home with an empty truck bed. If I'm burning precious gas to get out there and enjoy what we all love about public spaces, I sure as hell should be helping to pack this junk out.
I so admire the people who are doing what they can to clean this mess up. These garbage encampments are happening all over the West. I wonder? Do the people who left this site trashed this way need a ride to the Train Station?
Large problem around Australia as well! Sad to see the misuse of bush and forests. Excellent to see that people are rallying to clean up! THOUGH IT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY!!
Down here in Central California we have lost half a million acres of Public Access to BLM land. It all used to be open to offroading, camping and hunting. New Idrea/clear Creek area, approx 60 miles south of Hollister, CA in the San Benito mountains. It used to be a major mining area. A lot of abandoned mines and equipment. 100 years ago, 50 years ago, Today.... It all adds up over time.
Man, I felt like I was doing good bringing extra garbage bags and picking up trash along the trails we explore but this is just a whole other level. I remember exploring china hat as a kid with my dad and seeing cars that were abandoned in the 40/50s and thinking it was interesting. This just breaks my heart.
We have a similar problem here in Australia. A big part of our Parks people's jobs has become cleaning up after other people's uncaring nature. Unbelievable!! I think it a global problem. I am often picking up trash when out bush walking. Well done you!!
Yep, this just shows how it is today. It is so sad people did not have the proper upbringing or parenting. If they were raised properly like I was as well as others we would not have this problem. I am 74 and amazed at the ignorance of people even here on Lake Whitney, Texas and our public lands. I found a letter in a bunch of trash and gave it to the proper authorities. They found the idiots, they were fined $$$$ and had to clean up their mess as well as others under supervision. I bet they will never do this again. Hopefully your clean up will get the idiots that did this.
Hey Jason I just found you and subbed. I like all of your content, hope to be in your shoes one day.. just doing it with the family. I do have a question. Are you still using your red trailer? I'm trying to look through all your thumbnails trying to see when I stopped seeing it. If you have a video about why you got rid of it or why you slowed down using it, can you point me to that vid? thanks!
That is ridiculous. I’m on the east coast and in a urban environment. I see dumps like that all the time but never figured way out there in remote area there would be so much trash. That is crazy seeing all that crap left there. Keep up the good work. I saw a tag on that truck camper hope someone fines them for being trash 😠
This is epidemic all over the West. Drugs, Homelessness, a lack of all hope for people who've been corrupted to just not caring anymore. Its happening in every single state.
So sad & wrong people truly are hurting I cannot see giving all this money to other countries when our own are truly destitute and in pain …From toothaches abscesses to people unable to afford Medecine to fight cancer to little ones without family to halo 💔
It sucks that people do this because it takes away from the good people me myself I call these people Gremlins keep doing your contact we do appreciate it and we do watch it
It's extremely discouraging. This is all criminal! These are jerks that don't have any respect for anyone else. That camper was probably stolen. I live in Southern California where the weather is beautiful. But I'm surrounded by hoodlums. What happened to the deterrents that were meant to discourage criminal actions? Sorry, I'm rambling. Thank you for bringing this issue to everyone's attention
I'm actually horrified by this. When they catch turds doing this, don't fine them, put them in a chain gang and have them clean. I'm very surprised that the Forestry Service hasn't purchased some cheap trail cameras and posted them in high litter areas. I saw one of your other videos with the construction wastes and appliances, but the scope this was really shocking. Time to crank up the donation machine for these good folks doing great work for all of us.
This is a major problem throughout the west. I was thinking about this exact issue just today. It's not just people that camp out, and leave crap, it's whineyassed people that say "I'm not going to PAY to dump my crap at a "dump", "landfill" or "transfer station". This is PUBLIC land! "I" own this and I'll dump my $h!+ anywhere I want to!" Entitled A-hats. Of ALL political affiliations. I've caught people driving $90K duallies dumping crap in the woods here in So Oregon. They just don't care. On a side note: Those split rim wheels, minus the lock rim and tire, make an awesome fire ring!
Great job, in my opinion you should prevent this and by watching people staying at places like this and get the police on this location to put the behind bars. You will never ever find places like this in the Netherlands, just because of the people are watching over people out here…..
What is bad is the government if always reactionary, they will punish the whole for the crimes of the few. Hammer those who do bad, leave tje rest of us alone.
OMG! What is wrong with people. That is ridiculous! Bless all of you for addressing this. Soon BLM will no longer be open to citizens to enjoy and explore. It is so sad. I have always dreamed of visiting BLM land. By the time I am able to, there probably will not be any BLM available. I just don't understand people.
good on you guys...BUT...you guys sure do try hard to avoid blaming dope heads for alot of this nonsense...you will never stop this problem if you insist on avoiding labeling it correctly.
This is an example of an organization doing good for the well being of others. No other motives. Fantastic
Very excited for this organization! can't wait to get out there and help with you all!
Tahnk you! All I can say is thank you.
Great video and thank you for spreading this important message.
Great job guys! Thanks for everything you all do!
Thank you for being a leader and a true patriot and a true neighbor. God bless you

This is SO important people!!
In Norway were I live, we have the same problem but in a smaller scale.
LEAVE NO TRACE!!
Thank you for being a voice. We all need to do our part. These lands can be taken away awfully quickly!
Yawl are awesome! Thank you who ever helps. I seen this on Casey's RUclips channel.
Every time I go into the China Hat area from the northside, my heart sinks a little bit. As soon as you pass the golf course, it's just mounds and mounds of trash everywhere until you actually get back there where the riff raff won't go.

Good video Jason. People should be aware of this. 👍

Hope the day goes well.
Please enlighten us to the accumulation of detritus left.
Really enjoying your journeys 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. Out my way in Northern Nevada we have the Desert Pigs. Great people and great mission.
It's all homeless people off that road. You should help bring those agencies on board too. I know the city wanted to rehab that old motel into shelter, but I think it fell through. Just a huge problem for everyone.
Had no idea Bend had a homeless problem
Haven’t been up that way in a few years
Thought it was all about Portland with the homeless
Respect the nature it gives us the space for us to be comfortable in return we all should respect mother nature . Very nice efforts to keep the nature clean 👍 shame who over looked this duty made mother dirty.
Thank you for all you do.
A great job, congratulations
Leave no trace! No MOOP! Leave it better than how you found it. Respect the lands!!!!
Beautiful work 🤙
It really breaks my heart to see this kind of thoughtlessness.
How encouraging it is, though, to discover a group like Public Land Stewards.
I would love to get involved on a more national level. I could envision traveling around the U.S. camping, and joining clean-ups in various areas.
Positive Vibrations
Leave it better than you found it!!! 💯
Aww shoot that’s where I left my camper! Y’all are awesome! I constantly pick up trash everywhere I go
Great video to help bring awareness. We follow another YT channel van life folks who have inspired us to clean up at sites we camp. Heck, they even bring a rake and gather firewood for the next folks who use the sites.
Mark (& Teresa)
God bless you guys !!! I hate sites that people poop n trash and leave it like that
Stewart or steward lollll
No matter what good sir you are doing an absolutely amazing job💪💪💪
Thank you for this video!
This amount of trash is insane, thank you for the efforts to clean it up.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for pointing out this issue that's a major problem.everywhere I go to primitive camp in Florida panhandle I have to cleanup my campsite before I can use it it's really sad that people don't care to cleanup after themselves and believe they're privileged to do as they wish.
As a truck dweller, I am in support of this. Thanks for bringing this to the front of mind. Hopefully I can make it there in time,
Thanks for sharing the info on how to sign up. I always hear about it after it’s over. Signed up a couple days ago, see you there.
Awesome!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Jason, you need to do forensic work on the garbage and start tracking these people down and arresting them. Citizens arrest. Then bring them on the channel and make them clean it up themselves. I’d love to watch that. Go get em bud!
Yes,I agree.like arlo Guthrie's song,"Alice's restaurant. Trace a serial no.or garbage receipt,licen se plate.set up cameras or something to catch these horrible people.so glad there are people who still care to save the land.i clean up in the parks I go to.or anywhere I walk.its getting bad.we cant even get the garbage man to take all our trash on pickup day.just 2 cans worth.its ridiculous
Amazing content. Thank you for sharing
Awesome! We all need to do our part. 👍🇨🇦🌲🌏💜
I'm in Florida near Ocala national Forest. Same problem there at the beginning of entry roads, but not as bad as what you have. It's usually locals dumping furniture, but they usually pick it up monthly.
I hear you. Our club Gad-Zuks is part of the Adopt A Trail program in Big Bear. We clean up and maintain our trails. We've done other clean ups.
Good job

China hat has got really bad over the years. Glad to see you are helping with the clean up! Wish I could make it over there to help with the clean up.
Sign says D. Not being that person, but it may make folks take this important message more seriously. Thanks for your efforts!
Another organization to look at, even though they can be a lil wild, is the gambler 500 group, they do go out into central Oregon and do major cleanups, they are aiming for the crooked river grasslands this year.

Sadly this isn't the first time you have shown trash sites, good work and thank you.
Jason, good of you to support this effort. Can’t believe the pile of junk at that campsite! Is there a link to a page for financial support?
keeping sites cleaned up so they don't turn into larger dump sites really makes sense. thrilled to see this video and people in the comments inspired to do their part . will be trying to do better in the cleanup myself when I'm out there.

Great effort and worthy cause. Thank you for sharing this, I will follow-up. Our beautiful nature is such a gift, thanks.
Jason, I’ll see what I can do to make it next weekend
Thanks for boosting this effort. When recently I was able to finally get a proper 4x4 truck for overlanding, I told myself I wouldn't waste return trips home with an empty truck bed. If I'm burning precious gas to get out there and enjoy what we all love about public spaces, I sure as hell should be helping to pack this junk out.
Thank you
I really agree with you. It’s very upsetting to see these lazy guy’s dumping garbage on public lands and road ways
I so admire the people who are doing what they can to clean this mess up. These garbage encampments are happening all over the West. I wonder? Do the people who left this site trashed this way need a ride to the Train Station?
See ya out there
Large problem around Australia as well! Sad to see the misuse of bush and forests. Excellent to see that people are rallying to clean up!
THOUGH IT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY!!
Sure is sad. Very good Video

Simple minds do simple things.
This really chaps me arse as well Jason! I would love to catch these culprits and give them the highest fines and punishment 😬
Ya, we should beat the homeless while they are down on life already. Just another kick right?
Where can I do something like this in Brooklyn, NY or at Jamaica Bay
Hello Jason !!
We have a similar problem here in Australia. A big part of our Parks people's jobs has become cleaning up after other people's uncaring nature. Unbelievable!! I think it a global problem. I am often picking up trash when out bush walking. Well done you!!
Props to you guys cleaning up. A permit to clean up geez our laws are so messed up. Anyone caught littering should got to jail for 10 years.
Yep, this just shows how it is today. It is so sad people did not have the proper upbringing or parenting. If they were raised properly like I was as well as others we would not have this problem. I am 74 and amazed at the ignorance of people even here on Lake Whitney, Texas and our public lands. I found a letter in a bunch of trash and gave it to the proper authorities.

Aren't the abandoned trailers traceable to a state registration like my car is registered to me in PA?
That is ridiculous. I’m on the east coast and in a urban environment. I see dumps like that all the time but never figured way out there in remote area there would be so much trash. That is crazy seeing all that crap left there. Keep up the good work. I saw a tag on that truck camper hope someone fines them for being trash 😠

Definitely one of the lesser problems facing our nation right now, but still makes us public land owners quite angry. The forest is quite large...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey buddy!!
👍👍👍
Yay!
It sucks that people do this because it takes away from the good people me myself I call these people Gremlins keep doing your contact we do appreciate it and we do watch it
Pick up after the rat bastards just like their mommies did. Thank you for your efforts !!

It is all about the money machine for the private companies and organzations....I rest my case.
This is a major problem throughout the west. I was thinking about this exact issue just today.

On a side note: Those split rim wheels, minus the lock rim and tire, make an awesome fire ring!
Jason, I can see why you moved to Oregon from Washington. I did the same. We have a beautiful State. But seeing this is horrible!
😓💔
Is that China Hat?
id like to do this on the coast. ill try to contact pls. i have truck and trailer at the ready.
@@TheOffroadCamper I'm in Newport area and I know there are areas here too that are bad. Just want to do what I can legally
Good work my friend I hope they get caught and spend 90 days in jail and the 90 days they have to go and clean up all around the city
Great job, in my opinion you should prevent this and by watching people staying at places like this and get the police on this location to put the behind bars. You will never ever find places like this in the Netherlands, just because of the people are watching over people out here…..
It is a shame people dump like this. At least yall have this organization to help clean it up. Just sad.
That Arctic Fox used to be a pretty expensive camper.
What scumbags though. Unreal.
🙏💔🙏🇺🇸😭
This is insane what people do...
What if my name is not Stewart?
I carry a box of trash bags whenever I use public lands whenever I use public lands at my own expense, with permission of course
What is bad is the government if always reactionary, they will punish the whole for the crimes of the few. Hammer those who do bad, leave tje rest of us alone.
OMG! What is wrong with people. That is ridiculous! Bless all of you for addressing this. Soon BLM will no longer be open to citizens to enjoy and explore. It is so sad. I have always dreamed of visiting BLM land. By the time I am able to, there probably will not be any BLM available. I just don't understand people.
i hope that license plate led to some big fines
People that keep dumping don't love the forest
good on you guys...BUT...you guys sure do try hard to avoid blaming dope heads for alot of this nonsense...you will never stop this problem if you insist on avoiding labeling it correctly.
Disgusting people do disgusting things. 😡
Homelessness and substance abuse.
