  • On today’s episode we headed to JV to find out what happens with all the stuff that gets brought into the desert during hammers. We visited all the busy locations like Backdoor, Turkey and Chocolate Thunder to see how much trash gets left behind. We were shocked with a lot of things.

    Thanks to Trail Militia for sending an excellent message..
    Taking your trash with you after camping is a matter of pride!
    It shows the pride you take in your events. Pride in your country. Pride in your existence!
    Don't come here and trash the place others take pride in having!

    Thank you for posting this video and bringing awareness to those that don’t have a clue as to how we treat the desert as true desert racing/rock crawling enthusiast. In fact, I would bet almost anything that the main congregation areas are much cleaner after King of the Hammers than they are before. A lot of great organizations sponsored cleanups of these areas daily and immediately after KOH, we all owe them a huge debt of gratitude for what they do.
    Everyone should donate a few hours every year cleaning up the desert. If you’re unable to do that, then donate financially to one of these organizations. Purchase an annual membership, a T-shirt or two, heck, even some stickers would be appreciated.

      Yea I was shocked on how well they had done to be honest. My group puts in hours and we always speak about picking up during team runs. But like you said if you can’t show up donating to those charities who do is important

    Shout out to you for putting out this video for awareness. I hate when the a$$hats think that by putting trash in their "pit" they think it's taken care of. These dirty little hamsters need to know that their trash bag in the middle of the pit gets torn up, eaten up and all your dirty trash just gets strung out into the desert.

    • @TrailMilitia
      @TrailMilitia  5 місяців тому

    Dave and Hammerking production does a lot to make sure everything is cleaned up unlike other events like Coachella. But hey, blame the off-roaders. I think Dave actually has BLM go around and make sure they are happy with everything before the last crew leaves.

    Thanks for being a great ambassador for our sport. Overall I think people are respecting the trails/land more, but there are always a few select selfish people that only care about themselves. One thing we have noticed in the SBNF lately are illegal fire pits. We actually came across one that was unattended and had two foot flames shooting out about 10 feet from the nearby trees. Fools gonna burn down our forest. Fires only in designated SBNF fire rings people! Bonus for the leftover nails and metal that puncture our tires…

    There was a 4800 car that caught on fire back by the top of jackhammer. Thats what was coming out on the helicopter. Also, hammerking has to cleanup and tour the whole area with a blm representative in order to get a permit to hold the race. Dave Cole pays an army to go out and scour the desert so that there is no trace afterwards.
