Eric Hanson was nearly thrown in JAIL for committing a crime in Grand Canyon National Park. What was his crime, you ask? Camping out of bounds. Yes, you read that correctly; the federal government tried to make an example out of him and get him locked up, simply because he is a public figure on TV and on YouTube. In this episode he explains the FULL STORY of what happened.

Eric Hanson has his own YouTube channel and, until recently, was the host of the TV show Epic Trails and the YouTube channel BackpackingTV.
