What started as a simple suggestion — “maybe don’t blast your Bluetooth speaker on a quiet hiking trail” — turned into one of the most controversial things I’ve ever posted. But this video isn’t just about trail etiquette. It’s about something bigger.We’re living in a time where being kind, thinking of others, and showing basic respect can feel like a radical act. This is a video about what happens when we stop listening — to nature, and to each other.Yes, I’m snarky about Nickelback on trail. But this is really about how we’ve lost the ability to share space — in nature, in cities, online, everywhere — without demanding it all for ourselves.If you’ve ever been made to feel small for asking people to be considerate… this one’s for you. If you believe we can still be decent to each other, even when we disagree… this one’s for you too.If you're new here, I’m Andy Neal. I make videos about hiking, mental health, and making the outdoors more welcoming and accessible for every body.Subscribe for daily longform videos and shorts that explore real conversations happening on the trail and beyond.Follow me on social media:Instagram, TikTok, Threads, YouTube:   / andyfilmsandhikes   Facebook:   / andyfilmsandhikes  Full link list: https://chirp.me/andyfilmsandhikes Helpful resources:AllTrails – https://www.alltrails.comTen Essentials – https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advi...
