Congress is moving fast—and our public lands are on the chopping block.

A Senate bill—what I call the Big Beautiful Land Grab—could auction off millions of acres of public land. Your trails, campgrounds, lakes, streams, and even the access points to deeper wilderness could be at risk.

Join Yomp the Bigfoot as he stomps into action—calling on YOU to speak up for the wild.

Tell your state and federal reps: STOP the Big Beautiful Land Grab.

Go to https://www.outdooralliance.org or https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials to contact them in a few easy clicks.

Tag your rep, share this video, and let’s protect our public lands together.

🔥 Let’s Get Real About Public Lands and the Big Beautiful Bill

I love our public lands—Oregon’s ridges, Utah’s canyons, the lookouts in Washington’s Cascades. Selling them off to fix our broken system? That’s outrageous.

Yes, our national debt is a disaster. Yes, there’s fraud, waste, endless overseas spending, and broken politics in D.C. But selling OUR land? That’s not a solution. That’s an insult.

Meanwhile, we’re watching immigration surge—millions added in the last decade—and no one’s asking: Where will they live? Who gets pushed out when wild lands become gated estates?

This bill won’t fix housing. It won’t fix debt. It’ll just privatize what belongs to all of us.

Spent the past few evenings giving HenricksOutdoors.com a little love—especially on mobile.

Tweaked layouts, tested breakpoints (fancy way of saying "made it work on all screen sizes"), and cleaned things up so it actually feels good to scroll through now.

If you're into hiking, fishing, hunting, outdoor photography, gear, or just want to see what I’ve been building—check it out! Would love your thoughts or even a “hey this part’s not working on my phone” message. 😄

Next up: less screen time, more trail time. 🏔️
