Leave the campsite cleaner than you found it. Keep your campfire well contained by clearing the surroundings of combustible materials. Select only dead wood to burn and only the amount needed. Know what to do if a fire breaks out. For more information on Fire Craft, see chapter 5.
Soil erosion is one of the most common problems of camps.
Keep to established paths and trails to minimize erosion. Avoid disturbing the plant cover. Disturb as little as possible of the natural surroundings. Keep waterways free of garbage and trash. Do not dig up endangered plants.
