I've lived and worked in this same area as where this film was shot for over 30 years.
I can tell you first hand that 99.9% of all the campers that visit this area each long weekend are great.
Yes, the majority of them have quads, dirt bikes and related toys but they follow and respect the rules. They also clean up their campsite and take their garbage when they leave.
However, every long weekend we also get that .1% of people, usually from the cities, usually all under the age of 20, that have the big bush party and in there minds, it's an absolute free for all with no rules.
What was shown in the film is the end result of one of those parties.
It's not new, it's been the same thing every May long weekend for the last 30+ years.
As for the segment with the muddy cut line and the blame on the off roaders, that's total crap and nothing more than a cheap shot at the off road guys. Those cut line's have been chewed up by bulldozers, bed trucks, quads, dirt bikes, rig crews and seismic for the last 50 years. There isn't any wildlife calling that part of the cut line home.
