  • Summary

  • In this week's episode Montana puts on her forest ranger hat, and tells us all about the origin of Smokey Bear. Sadly, it isn't all just catchy slogans and cute cartoon bears. There's war and burned animals that helped create the longest running public service announcement campaign in United States history. Only you can prevent wildfires, so be careful when you smoke this week's cocktail.
