Be sure to pack out all your refuse. Never leave your trash in any wilderness area. Keep in mind that even a twist tie from a bread bag can turn into a lethal substance for any animal to ingest. Never litter any wilderness area, and if litter is present, pick it up and pack it out even if you did not leave it. We all must be responsible even if the last person to visit the area was not so responsible.
Large campfires are out.
The big campfire became very passe' once environmentalists began to see the effects of such fires. In most areas wood is being used faster than it can reproduce which leads to depletion of the area timber. By gathering kindling you are making an impact on the environment because fallen kindling rots away leaving mulch for seedlings to sprout in. Your best bet is to use a propane stove for cooking and heating in your camping area. By doing this you are not only saving wood, but also saving a forest fire from happening.
