Leave No Trace Principle
Leave No Trace (LNT) Principles
"The tremendous rewards of high-adventure treks are drawing more and more people to the backcountry. At the same time, the vast territory suitable for treks is shrinking in size. More people and less land mean we all must be careful not to endanger the wild outdoors we have come to enjoy" (Boyscouts of America).
A High-Adventure Ethic
"A good way to protect the backcountry is to remember that while you are there, you are a visitor. When you visit a friend you are always careful to leave that person's home just as you found it. You would never think of dropping litter on the carpet, chopping down trees in the yard, putting soap in the drinking water, or marking your name on the living room wall. When you visit the backcountry, the same courtesies apply. Leave everything just as you found it." (Boy Scouts of America)
Hiking and camping without a trace are signs of an expert outdoorsman.
The Principles of "Leave No Trace"
The Metropolitan Mountaineering Society (MMS) is committed to this program. As a policy, MMS adopted the following into its own constitution and by-laws to be followed by all members at all times although LNT is not a rule but a form of ethics that everyone must follow by heart :
Wilderness Ethics
Prepare well
Know about your route and the area
Take adequate food
Bring clothing that will keep you dry & comfortable
Know the basics of first aid, navigation and minimum impact camping
Know what to do in case of overheating, hypothermia or landslide danger
Local practices
Know the local practices in the area
Respect local customs and traditions
Respect other people’s desire for privacy and solitude.
Unnecessary disturbances (noise and horseplay) should be avoided.
Trekking into the wilderness
Avoid widening the trail.
Stay off the shoulder and walk in the middle of the trail instead.
Suppress the desire to shortcut switchbacks. Cutting switchbacks tramples vegetation and leads to erosion.
Use established trail when possible.
On rest breaks, select a hardened area to absorb your impact.
Select footwear appropriate for comfort, safety and the terrain. Heavy lug-soled boots have an adverse impact on fragile terrain. Use light footwear in camp.
Camping
Select a level campsite with adequate water runoff and use a plastic sheet under your tent to stay dry without ditching.
Locate your site at least 100 feet away from natural water sources.
Generally, select a shelter site that has already been used, to eliminate further expansion of the camp.
Whenever possible, position your tent so it blends with the environment.
Careful selection of campsite helps preserve the atmosphere of solitude even in popular areas.
Choose your site thoughtfully and use it lightly, leaving it in as natural state as possible.
Garbage
Carry out all of your non-biodegradable garbage (on 1-3 days trips, you can carry ALL your trash back, both biodegradable and non biodegradable).
Bury only biodegradable trash (but it is not advisable).
Pick up litter as you encounter it.
Burning of non-paper trash should be minimized since complete cremation is difficult.
Remember litter attracts more litter.
Sanitation
Use established latrines if these are provided (new studies suggest it is better to dig catholes than establish latrines).
Use a cat hole if there are no established latrines.
Proceed with a trowel on hand to an area at least 100 feet away from water sources trail and camp. After carefully removing the surface duff, dig a hole several inches into the dirt. Replace the dirt and duff.
Washing yourself
Even biodegradable soap is a stress on the environment, so do as much of your cleanup without soap. (Thnik about it, two days (average Philippine expeditions) without bath is not bad at all so just take a bath after returning home from a trip).
Try a soapless bath or clothes-wash, for all but the most persistent dirt.
When using soap, even biodegradable soap, wash yourself, your hair and your clothing at least 100 meters away from water.
Pour soapy water into highly absorbent ground.
Brush your teeth well away from water sources.
Washing dishes
Try a soapless cleanup
For health reasons, wash dishes with hot water when possible.
Wash at least 100 meters away from natural water sources.
