Some of the skills we learn and adopt are well practiced/used and date back centuries.
In some respects it would be good to see some of the old methods and practices changed for the good of us all and the outdoors we enjoy and love.
Some outdoors enthusiasts still light fires on the ground rather than use a firepit or twig burner of sorts.
Always find it a little disappointing when I come across fire scars on the floor......and there are many.....
A fire-pit can be made or purchased very cheaply.
Then there is the call of nature....most of us moan about finding dog on the floor/tracks during our travels.
Many a time while in the woods you come across a pile of human and the tissue used..... left for all to stumble upon and no effort made to bury it.....normally in the most used and popular spots we like to frequent.
But why Bury it?.....we HOPEFULLY pick up after our dogs when we are out.....so why not pick up and take out after ourselves and dispose of at home.....it's not that difficult.
The Life In "The Wilderness Forum" are on top of this.....and have been for a few years now...... at organised meets and get togethers..... and ask members to bring along suitable compostable bags and some sawdust to manage waste.....which is normally burnt and leaves the sites clean with no trace.
Also request that fire-pits are used by all to save the forest floors and respect the land.
So there is a challenge for 2020......use a fire-pit.......and take your home
If we adopted this as individuals we could all make a difference
Amen
