Don't Burn The Trees

Out here, summer has a smell. Some years it's cut grass and campfire smoke. Other years it's the wrong kind of smoke — the kind that turns the sun orange by noon and hangs over the whole valley for weeks.

If you've spent any real time outside, you know that feeling. You love these forests. You hike them, camp in them, train near them, raise your kids around them. And most years, you watch some of them go up. The hard part? So much of it starts small. A tossed cigarette. A campfire nobody put all the way out. One careless moment on a dry day.

That's where this design comes from.

"Don't Burn The Trees" isn't a lecture. It's the kind of thing you'd say to a buddy at the trailhead — half joke, all truth. Respect the land that gives us room to breathe, move, and grow.
