I think it’s a pretty cool video. I think it looks an awful lot like a nature valley granola bar commercial. “Find your trail” is the campaign, I think. ---

Having a snack on the edge of a 500 feet rock by Nevada Falls in Yosemite. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/8xiEZqwey6o/hqdefault.jpg "A snack above the waterfall") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xiEZqwey6o) ---

What is it with you and climbing over fences? ---

This is going to end with two park rangers having their coffee and saying “Some fucking dumbass hopped the fence, slipped and died. Now we’ve got to get a team together to do an Easter Egg Hunt to find his parts and clean up the mess.” Also, isn’t there a rule against posting about committing crimes? ---

Dude start a blog. Or at least try to participate in threads that you didn’t start yourself. ---

Also what about this guys?

There is no law that forbids sitting on the edge of a 500 feet rock? So no crime. Just politically incorrect. Michael Moore made many films which showed him and his friends trespassing and destroying property. The latter is a real crime. Why did not you protest? ---

Yeah, your last thread was read-only for me, but I echo **Shakes**. Are you going to start a new thread every time you break the law like this? Is part of why you do this the thrill of posting the video later and dealing with the outraged responses? ETA: Not “breaking the law,” then, but obviously not what park services would have you do. Why? ---

Whether one agrees with them or not, Moore’s films at least had some point to them; guerrilla journalism, as it were. I fail to see a similar purpose in guerrilla snacking. ---

**Don Simus,** I almost closed this thread and here’s why: [Your last topic about it (here)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=736114) had to have two moderator notes, [one which was for you.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17848303&postcount=40) Posting yet another topic about this, I feel like is deliberately asking for some negative attention (in other words, “can be seen as trolling”)… ## ..however, giving you the benefit of the doubt, I will just merge this one with the other one. You don’t need two and it’s starting to almost seem like you’re trying to advertise your youtube channel. If all you’re going to do in this topic, however, is argue with everyone else…I’m going to close it. Everyone else, let’s try to stay on topic. Feel free to use the Pit if you want to call others out on their behavior.\* \*Not giving out warnings as I said in my last note in here, because this was originally a new topic that was merged into this one (as I say above). ---

> [@Don\_Simus](#): > > A lunch on the edge of Zion canyon **don simus** , --please read a serious comment: Going to a national park and polluting the natural environment is **nothing to be proud of**. You should be embarrassed, and please do not post anything like that again. During the last part of that clip (starting at 3:20 minutes), you show yourself intentionally throwing orange peels over the cliff into a nature preserve. This is not just rude, it’s also illegal in a National Park. You are-- to be blunt–simply being a jerk. The straightDope site has rules about that. But more importantly…the rest of the human race has the right to enjoy the grandeur of nature without seeing your litter. ---
