The Great Idaho Show - Steve Zettel - Not In Wilderness Coalition
Wilderness Interrupted: Cell Phones, Satellites, and the Future of Idaho’s Backcountry
What happens to the wilderness experience when every hiker, rafter, and hunter can answer a call from the trail? I sit down with Steve Zettle of the Not in Wilderness Coalition to talk about a quiet threat to Idaho’s wildest spaces—not cell towers, but satellite-enabled smartphones.
We explore what’s at stake as technology moves faster than policy, and why solitude might soon be a thing of the past in places built for peace.
🎧 A conversation every Idahoan should hear.
