Leave no trace

[FlanneryCam]

I have always camped in a leave no trace manner. I want the natural spaces to be save and beautiful for ever. I want to visit wilderness landscapes not litter them, not own them.

I did try one trip where we took leave no trace to the max and biked to our campsite, then we did work at one of the parks we visited to pay off our support van's carbon trace. It was a lot of work especially for a group of 12 people.

I haven't done leave no trace that way since.

Found a MSR propane fuel canister tucked in on the inside of a metal fire-pit, under some debris. Great place. Good thing I only burn twig fires. If I had built a larger fire that canister could have exploded. They left a zip lock baggy of trash with it also. I cleaned out the pit of debris and hauled the trash back out. I feel for the person that I catch littering in the wilderness in the future. Many years of frustrations with people destroying nature will all come out on that individual.

I do practice the principles of 'Leave No Trace'. I was a boy scout when I was a kid so it has been instilled into me from an early age. It really annoys me when people don't respect nature. I always leave the area in the state I found it.

I follow as much of it as I can remember: keeping and leaving the campsite clean, making sure that the fire pits are killed completely, not to take home souvenirs except pictures. Pretty much, I put myself in the situation of the next camper. How I would like a campsite to look like when I arrive there is the way that I leave it.
