Rock Smokey the Bear’s Cool New Sunglasses for Montana Camping!

If you spent any time in the outdoors of Montana, chances are you have stood around a campfire or two. And no matter how many campfires you have stood around, it always ends the same way. Just about the time you are ready to pack up for the night, a massive bear in denim jeans and a Ranger hat shows up and scolds you about fire safety.

Luckily we are fond of the brand mascot for the US Forest Service. Smokey the Bear has been an American icon for decades.

For 76 years now, Smokey the Bear has been the face of the National Forest Service and its campaign to prevent wildfires. The story of Smokey the Bear dates back to 1944 when the US Forest Service and the Ad Council came up with the image of a bear dousing campfire flames with a bucket of water. Fast forward to 1950, in New Mexico, a group of firefighters found a young bear cub badly burned in a tree. They took the orphaned cub and named him "Smokey."

According to the US Forest Service Website

News about this real bear named Smokey spread across the Nation, and he was soon given a new home at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The living symbol of Smokey Bear, he played an important role in spreading messages of wildfire prevention and forest conservation. Smokey died in 1976 and was returned to Capitan, New Mexico, where he is buried in the State Historical Park.
