Leave no trace

It is very important that each of us do our bit to make sure we leave nothing behind to detract from the experience of those who follow.

With so many folks using and enjoying the outdoors, it is very important that each of us do our bit to make sure we leave nothing behind to detract from the experience of those who follow. To that end, I practice the "Leave No Trace" credo. After I have packed my camp, but before I leave the site, I take a few minutes to reflect on the experience, think about what I might have done differently, what I may have forgotten or had that I didn't need, etc. During my reflections, I also take a last look around to make sure the site is preferably better than I found it.
