BLM collecting limits in Utah
25 lb/day + one piece, 250 lb/year, personal use, hand tools. What that means in the field.
Utah first · then the Intermountain West
Know the rule before you put the shovel in the dirt.
Most “secret spot” sites skip the part that actually matters: who owns the land, what you can take, and what gear fails at 100°F. This site is built for that.
Can you collect in Utah State Parks?
Short answer: almost never. How parks differ from BLM and SITLA.
West-desert gear that is worth the affiliate link
Coolers, puncture-resistant boots, buckets, and screens — compared, not dumped.
How this site makes money
Free guides. Amazon and outdoor-gear affiliate links where a product is actually recommended. Display ads later. No insurance quotes, no contractor lead forms, no “we booked your hunt.”
Not legal advice. Confirm current rules with BLM, Utah DWR, SITLA, and the managing agency before you go. Rules change.
