Public Land Protector

The Land Gives. Give Back.

There is something sacred about public land. 

It’s more than just dirt and trees. It’s the handiwork of God, crafted for us to explore, enjoy, and protect. As hunters, hikers, anglers, and outdoorsmen and women, we are not just users of this land. We are stewards. We are protectors.

At MTN OPS, we don’t see public land as just a backdrop to our adventures. We see it as a blessing. A God given opportunity to connect with creation, with others, and with something deeper inside ourselves. But here’s the truth: our access to these lands is at risk.

A new report from the Center for American Progress (CAP) reveals that more than 24 million acres of nature have been lost from the contiguous United States between 2001 and 2017 due to human development; the equivalent of one football field every 30 seconds. And once it’s gone, it’s gone. Access continues to shrink and millions of acres of landlocked or threatened wild spaces are putting our way of life on the line.

When public land disappears, so do the traditions tied to it. There will be fewer places to hunt, fish, hike, and camp, fewer habitats for wildlife, and fewer connections between families and the outdoors. Future generations won’t get the same chances we’ve had unless we act now.

That’s why MTN OPS believes in protecting public lands. We support them with words and action by aligning with our trusted partner the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP). We're using our platform to educate, inspire, and invite others to join the movement. Where every donation makes a difference. trcp.org/donate

I feel something sacred when I lace up my boots and step into the wild. It’s not just the thrill of the chase or the stillness of the sunrise. It’s the quiet call to responsibility. Our public lands are a privilege, not a guarantee. And privileges come with responsibility.

We weren’t meant to take from the land without giving back. That’s not the code we live by. At MTN OPS, we believe in earning the right to enjoy these places by protecting and preserving them for those who come after us. That means:

• Leaving it better than we found it
• Teaching our kids to respect the land and wildlife
• Advocating for access, funding, and conservation
• Taking personal responsibility to protect what fuels us
  
  

Being a Public Land Protector is not a label. It’s a lifestyle.

It’s picking up trash that isn’t yours. It’s honoring trail boundaries, practicing fire safety, and standing up for the rights we enjoy so they don’t quietly disappear.

We hunt these lands not just for food or tradition, but for connection to God’s creation and Him as our creator, ancestors, and families. And when you understand that connection, you feel a duty rise within you.

We are not just consumers.
We are caretakers.
We are protectors of God's land.

So I’ll ask again:
What will you do to protect the land you love?
What example will you set?
What legacy will you leave behind?

At MTN OPS, we use our voice and reach to drive real change. This isn’t just about land; it's about the heart of who we are and the future we want to build. The land gives, connects, heals, and fuels.

Let’s be bold in how we protect it.
Let’s be loud when it’s time to defend it.
And let’s be faithful stewards of what God has given us.

We are Public Land Protectors.
And we will keep conquering.
