The Great Idaho Show | Steve Zettel on Preserving the Soul of Idaho's Wilderness

What happens when technology follows us into the last truly wild places?

Steve Zettel of the Not in Wilderness Coalition joins Dylan Stocker to discuss a growing movement to preserve the wilderness experience from the constant presence of phones, satellite communications, music, livestreaming, and other modern technology.

The conversation explores the purpose behind the Wilderness Act, why Idaho's Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness is uniquely valuable, and whether simple common courtesies—not new regulations—can help protect one of America's greatest outdoor treasures.

Topics include:

• The Not in Wilderness Coalition
• Technology in wilderness areas
• Starlink and satellite connectivity
• The "10 Common Courtesies" campaign
• Wilderness ethics and outdoor recreation
• Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness
• The University of Idaho's Taylor Ranch
• Why wilderness is about more than geography

If you've ever wondered what should remain untouched in an increasingly connected world, this is a conversation worth hearing.
