1- A few thoughts about Outdoor Ethics:
- Plan. A well-thought-out plan will help you minimize your environmental impact. Such as – travel/hike/visit during non-peak periods…
- Planning involves knowing any and all special considerations such as Tour Permits, Fees, Max. Group Size, Latrine Usage, Designated Campsites…
- Plan for bad weather, environmental and man-made hazards, and possible emergencies.
- Plan your food to minimize pots, pans, waste, and trash…
- Plan to use backpacking stoves instead of building fires.
- Plan your trip to use only a map and a compass (or like tools) without having to use flagging tape, leave rock trail markers (rock cairns), or paint to mark your trail.
- Plan to travel on durable and established surfaces like gravel trails or marked trails.
