Greg has had a dilemma - he\\u2019s felt guilty about loving the wilderness to death. Those adventures are bad for the planet as it turns out.

You ever feel guilty about something and don\\u2019t really act on it? yeah me too. Maybe after this episode, you\\u2019ll be more likely to do something about it.\\xa0
