Hi classmate
Great information. This video turned me into an REI subscriber on YouTube.
Can someone put the seven principles here in the comments so i don’t have to watch the video?
Leave No Trace is advocating not to shorten the phrase Leave No Trace to (lnt). When talking to others in the outdoors it is more inclusive to call it Leave No Trace, so others could be included. It takes no more energy to say Leave No Trace. People new to the outdoors are the folks who need to understand Leave No Trace, and just by using the full name you have already allowed them to understand more, instead of feeling excluded since you are using a three letter acronym.
Informative video indeed. I have also written a piece on Leave no Trace principles. https://wolfnextdoor.com/leave-no-trace-principles/
great video Covered everything I needed to know!
Some references from that movie ahah
New rule, even if you dig a hole please, please go 200 feet out of camp not 5 feet away from where people set up tents to poop. I know you got your Instagram photo and are now done with this place forever, but seriously people, please stop destroying all the places we all like to go to.
*Brian ‘dirddy’ Laundrie* must’ve watched this, guys
Really informative video REI. We appreciate you spreading the message and protecting our shared outdoor spaces!
I practice LNT. Just wanted to get that out of the way first. But what burns me is this. In WV, …you essentially have no backpacking in state parks and state forests. Hiking yes, …but not backpacking. No overnight camping. Most close at 10pm, …everyone out. That leaves us with Monongahela National Forest. It is indeed amazing. But…
They fully allow hunting and fishing. Please explain to me why a National Forest would completely abandon all aspects of LNT ethics for hunters and fishermen, …but yet expect it of hikers and backpackers? That goes against everything you said about interacting with the wildlife, staying on trail, …etc.
And the worst part is, …Those areas are not "closed" to hiking/backpacking during those hunting seasons. Try not to get shot!
Your thoughts?
Yeah and the last time i remember your the one who makes trails and benches so why dont YOU leave no trace i asked a ranger that and he just refused to awnser bruh
LNT:
0:21- Plan and Prepare
0:48-Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
1:27-Dispose of Waste Properly
2:22-Minimize Campfire Impacts
3:35-Leave What You Find
3:50-Respect Wildlife
4:23-Be Considerate of Other Visitors
Great video

Also: no not use Permethrin or DEET, that’s even worse than leaving trash!
