The wilderness isn’t meant to be safe - it’s meant to be wild | Francis Sanzaro | TEDxMileHigh

I always said that once you set foot in the jungle or savannah or dive into the ocean, you are part of the food chain.

We must protect our wilderness from the encroachment of cities and lawsuits. Most climbers accept the risks they take and take time to gain their knowledge, skills and strength. The problems with the instagram society are that novices want to go where experts can only go. If you take away the risk you take away the feeling of achievement. I feel that the society where lawsuits follow every action is one where our children will be unaware of their limits which is not good for society.

Thank you for your talk. I think that we all have a brain and should educate ourselves before we go Into the wild. If you don’t want to think for yourself then don’t go. It’s nice to have a Information sign on the parking lot of the trail, showing the route and maybe talking about specific risks. But that’s enough! People suing parks for being wild is just absurd to me !

[@GeniDeka]

My upvote. I agree with the speaker. Each word.

Go to England, Scotland and Wales and you can take trails across wide open wilderness where you can climb very loose rocky outcrops, walk next to a canal or loose grassy cliffs that fall into the ocean. And guess what? THERE ARE NO HAND RAILS. You do things at your own risk. It is understood, you fall in the canal, you get out. No one's going to throw you a life preserver. It's why people climbing on Castles don't generally let their kids run wild. There are wide pediments at Edinburgh Castle to look over the sides. There are no guard rails; the other side of this 10 foot wide perch is a 10-12 foot drop. There are no handrails and this is all cement. People over there use their heads. Where people in the US want to sue for any imperfection they percieve. This guy is correct. If you want it wild, leave it the way it was: WILD. Or go to Yellowstone and walk up to a herd of Bison and get gored like all the idiots in the past couple of years! It's called common sense, something that's been lacking in the US for the past six or so years.

[@imallierambles]

Hey city people, stay out of our wild places if you can’t respect that it’s unknown, dangerous, quiet and freeing. Of course, the speaker said it much better. 😂

[@martinprior2565]

Well yeah, they shouldnt go there if they arent prepared to take that risk...

[@grmpEqweer]

Yep. Even in a nice, short ramble in a tame national forest, I found a 3+-foot copperhead noodling across the trail. (Didn't get my phone out fast enough, I was in awe.😍 At a distance, of course)

[@singerreja]

Great

The national parks are not wilderness areas. Let's not confuse them.

[@Whueso]

What?

[@straightcrypto1411]

Natural selection.

[@celestialcircledance]

Why not safety proof some mountains so safety conscious people can experience nature with baby steps and leave other arias wild that the risk takers can explore to there hearts desire once they sign legal consent forms ?

Well call your parks 'nature reserve', and monitor the wilderness capacity to the best of technology.🤷 'Prevention is better than antidote!'

[@jaimecollins3907]

Of course, suing a park because someone is attacked by wildlife is not where we should go as a society. Where we should, however, is considering perspectives beyond that of a white male cisgender adventurer with all the privilege necessary to hang from cliffs. A dude making an argument with highly selective evidence of nonsense among the totality of issues affecting wilderness. I live in the middle of six million acres of wilderness and forest preserve. The largest such tract in the lower 48. A place where five of those national parks would fit inside. I'm not a climber, but I am a serious wilderness adventurer in winter and summer doing things yet at almost 60 years old most others wouldn't attempt in their 20s. And still, I am fully capable of listening to others and considering perspectives of those with less privilege. The wilderness is about far... far... FAR more than risk. There are, unfortunately, social and political reasons completely unrelated to being harmed by natural forces that I and many others are concerned about. I will always fight to make these lands more accessible in appropriate ways for those without loads of privilege. They exist for ALL of humanity.

[@Whueso]

So we should put markers at every potentially dangerous area because somebody might get hurt? How does placing man-made warnings of potential risk increase access to these areas? I'm just looking for some clarity on how your argument addresses his concerns.

God loves you and takes care of you. The biggest loss that a person loses in this life is to live and die while he does not know God or His Messenger, Muhammad, the last of the prophets and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions, from intelligence. Before you believe in something or not, study it and try to understand it well, and then you have the choice. By reading the Noble Qur’an with translation and trying to understand it before time runs out

[@martinprior2565]

Shut up

[@mohamedel3rby253]

You are the one who should be completely silent

[@Ivana9910]

abrahamic religions are the worst religions. there is no reason to believe any particular religion is real. Don't let any religion or worldview impact how you treat others - treat them with kindness.

[@mohamedel3rby253]

@@Ivana9910 You know that if God had not sent His messengers in religions, the last of which was the Islamic religion and His Messenger Muhammad, the whole world would have been bloodier and more horrific than we are now. What kindness are you just talking about?
