    Thanks to Seth's influence my wife and I always take bags along and pick up all of the trash we find when we go out into nature.

    Two people picked up over 2,000 lbs of trash, so incredible and inspiring!

    Love this! Keep up the great work! I walk 5-10 miles every day around my neighborhood & local community just to stay healthy, I always stop to pick up trash. I have never told anyone that I do this. Sometimes I wonder if my neighbors think I'm crazy when they see me picking up garbage from the street. But I really don't care. It's my little way of doing something for my community and for the environment while I'm also doing something for myself. So I will keep doing it. It made me so happy to watch this and know that other people do this too. Thank you!

    it melted my heart to see how a lady they met on the trip at 14:04 supported these two amazing people in her own, thoughtful way. just amazing.

    Okay WOW! I am speechless. This 21-minute film has touched my heart. I laughed with them, I cried, I rejoiced, but most of all, I will adjust the way I ride. Now, every time I ride (and I'm a fast road-bike type of guy) I will take bags with me so that I can leave the environment better than it was when I got there. Thank YOU Seth and Abby for your dedication to Leaving it Better!! Rock On!!

    Can you imagine how much more beautiful the world would be if everyone did this. Even if just picking up a candy wrapper or popcan. Our world has become a garbage can. No respect. Love what these people are doing. Maybe it will catch on.❤

    We met Seth on the trail between our Pitt to DC biking, he told us that he is biking from GA (I & Nathan are also from GA) and going to Seattle. A little chat with him inspired us to do more.. glad we helped his flat tire on the trail.. This short film inspires me more.. kudos to "Packing it Out"..

    Great work.
    I have no understanding of those who litter.
    Great idea.
    Organised a world championship rogaine in the Warrumbungles National Park NSW Australia. One of the great pleasures of that event was four park rangers who competed and admitted they were fearful of seven hundred competitors plus others littering the park including camp grounds. They reported in the weeks after the event that the park was cleaner for our visit.
    Pack it in, pack it out.
    Take only pictures, leave only foot prints.

  • @kikonyc68

    When I rode across the USA, people gave me cash, icecream, water, paid for my meals in diners, brought me food and burning wood at camp, shared their paid campsite, free camping spot, invited me to their house for a night, car ride when I was struggling uphill, At first, I wasn't used to people being nice just for the sake of being nice. In my head, I was like "Why are you being nice to me? I was even ready to run away or straight up turning them away. Then I thought about why I'm cycle-traveling to get out of my bubble. I wanted to experience everything that gets thrown at me. This is what I got. Genuinely nice people. I decided to open my heart and go with it. I realized that my accepting their kindness made them happy. That I don't have to feel like I owe them something. They do get something in return. And I just make sure that I pay it forward whenever an opportunity arises.

    Great adventure! Attended Burningman last 5 years, biggest Leave No Trace event in the world, with 70,000 other folks. They use a terrific acronym for garbage---MOOP. Matter out of place. Moop sweeps are part of daily life there. Was hiking the canyons at Starved Rock last month and gathered enough trash to earn a "reward pack" from the innkeeper! Always have plastic bag for trash when on any hike now.

    I fish a lot in rivers on Vancouver Island and have taken to packing out any garbage I come across. A few weeks ago I pulled a ~10lb piece of linoleum out of the Cowichan River bank and walked the 2 miles back to the truck with it, and it felt good. If everyone did that, it would help immensely. I've taken to teaching my kids to pack stuff out too.
