The Trailman's Oath:  We will "do our best to.. be a good steward of creation."

 

As stewards of God's creation, we endeavor to enjoy the land without disturbing or destroying it.  We should practice Low-Impact Camping:  

  • Pack in only what is necessary,
  • Leave no trace
  • Practice fire safety
  • Dispose of cleanup water and food wastes properly
  • Seek to leave an area cleaner than when we arrived 

 

Tread lightly! Key Concepts

  • Travel responsibly
    • Use existing campfire areas or firepits.
    • Use of a camp stove is preferable over open fires due to its impact on the land
    • Pack out your trash/waste
    • Leave natural surroundings as or better you found them.
  • Respect the rights of others
  • Avoid areas that could be sensitive to damage - such as flowered areas, waterlogged soil areas, rivers, creeks, etc. 
  • Do your part to be responsible and hold others accountable too
  • Educate yourself on these things and the regulations of the location where you're camping
