That part about "seeing how those animals are treated" is so true, @lindag33. I see that same shift now with people and fast fashion. They just want a cheap shirt, then they see the factory conditions. Same with ignoring where your chicken nugget really comes from. We buy the cheap, easy thing when we don't have to look at the real cost. It's wild how fast your mind changes once you actually see it.

My approach is a tight circle of trusted hikers.

Explain your blueprints to family; they spot the obvious errors.
