The Seven Leave No Trace Principles



Leave No Trace provides a framework for outdoor recreation decision making, which is summarized in the following 7 principles, as taken from the LNT official website and annotated for the local context:




1. Plan Ahead and Prepare:
Poorly prepared people, when presented with unexpected situations, often resort to high-impact solutions that degrade the outdoors or put themselves at risk. Poor planning can result in improperly located campsites because groups failed to plan enough time to reach their intended destination, or improper campfires or excessive trash because of failure to plan meals or bring proper equipment.
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces:
Damage to land occurs when surface vegetation or communities of organisms are trampled beyond repair. The resulting barren area leads to unusable trails, campsites and soil erosion.* In high-use areas such as most mountains listed in PinoyMountaineer, Leave No Trace suggests that people concentrate activity, which makes further damage unlikely. In other words, use the same trail and don't create a new one.* In areas of very little or no use such as exploratory climbs, Leave No Trace encourages people to spread out. Taking different paths when hiking off-trail will avoid creating new trails that cause erosion. Dispersing tents and equipment, and moving camp daily will avoid creating permanent-looking camp sites.
3. Dispose of Waste Properly:
Though most trash and litter in the backcountry is not significant in terms of the long term ecological health of an area, it does rank high as a problem in the minds of many backcountry visitors. Trash and litter are primarily social impacts which can greatly detract from the naturalness of an area. Thus, Leave No Trace recommends that trash and litter should be packed out. Further, backcountry users create body waste and waste water which requires proper disposal according to Leave No Trace.* Waste water: Avoiding soap and dispersing dishwater far away from natural water sources will prevent contamination.* Human waste: Proper human waste disposal prevents spread of disease, exposure to others, and speeds decomposition. Catholes, 6 to 8 inches deep and 200 feet from water, are often the easiest and most practical way to dispose of feces. This is why bringing a trowel for this purpose (among others) is recommended.
4. Leave What You Find:
Leaving rocks, plants, archaeological artifacts and other objects as found will allow others a sense of discovery. Similarly, Leave No Trace directs people to minimize site alterations, such as digging tent trenches, hammering nails into trees, permanently clearing an area of rocks or twigs. Do not vandalize mountain structure, nor put your name or write any graffiti in trees or any structures along the trail.
5. Minimize Use and Impact of Fire:
Leave No Trace encourages people to use lightweight camp stoves instead of fires, because the naturalness of many areas has been degraded by overuse of fires and the increasing demand for firewood. If a campfire is constructed, Leave No Trace suggests using an existing fire ring in a well-placed campsite or to use a fire pan or mound fire. True Leave No Trace fires show no evidence of having ever been constructed. In the Philippines, camp stoves are the standard practice; in general campfires are never recommended.
6. Respect Wildlife:
If enough people approach or interfere with wildlife, it can be disruptive to animal populations. Feeding wildlife is not advisable. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, and exposes them to predators and other dangers. Also, do not cause wildlife to be provoked by getting them attracted to your food in the camp.
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors:
Following hiking etiquette and maintaining quiet allows visitors to go through the wilderness with minimal impact on other users. In the Philippine setting, courtesy to other visitors go beyond the greetings of "Good morning sir/ma'am". Give way when on trail, and be considerate while in campsite. Avoid loud music and noisy conversations when sharing the campsite. As the LNT website puts it, "Let nature's sounds prevail!"

The lost world of Cathrina Capadosa

Sa sini nga gab-e way ko ubrahon...medyo boring...net nalang ako e...bukad ko friendster...may gn open ko nga profile sa cpums kag daw may nabasahan ako did2 nga masadya kag nakakadlaw ako...gn text ko daun sila daisy kag tin2x kag nag tsismis sang bag-o...(mga mahisaon nga kalag nag kadlawanay sang bag-o nga estorya...ahay!)...."wala lang laglaganay sa mga na iguan ha...tnx!

Sang wala nako ka text...nanugunan ako sang akon load...gn text ko gd una c CATHRINA CAPADOSA nga mangayo cya sang text messages kay e forward ko tani sa iban para mapuslan man akon AllText20 nga wala buhin...

Apang, ang gn pang forward ya sakon puro love qoutes...

Hambal ko..."anhun ko ni?wala man ko cni sendan...laman ko ya migo!"
Kag nag padayon lang ako sang basa sang mga text nya!
amu ini hu....

When i walk alone, i wish that i can reach the end of the road...But when you walk with me, i wish the road never ends.

Go for someone who is not only proud to have you...but will also take every risk just to be with you.

You yearn for someone not because you want to be complete. But because you want to add more color to your life...That person must not necessarily break through your busy sched...That person must inspire you to manage your time well instead...You see it's not a matter of distance and time...It's more like friendship in a higher level...It's smiling alone every once in a while...Knowing that somewhere, somehow, someone smiles at the thought of YOU.

He holds me when i start to cry. He makes me smile with just hs eyes. We share hopes, dreams and fears. He wipes away all my tears. I love him wothout regret. I just have'nt found him yet.

The most romantic thing in the world is when you have that truly honest moment with the person you love...and you can literally see yourself growing together.

Asta sa ulihi gn textsan ko nalang xa...dala joke!
"Baw!, puros love qoutes gd ba...daw ka obvious gd ni karon kung mu ni send ko cya"

reply nya sakon..."LAGTOK KAH GD! HEHE!BAL-AN MU NGA INLUV KO DAN. tE MU NA MGA QOUTES KO D. (nakita nyo ang word nga Dan?hahaha...)

...nagpadayon xa send sakon sang mga text messages...

I fill so happy coz i meet sum1 lyk u...uv shown me kindness and count me as ur friend. I may not be the best among them but 1thing ill tell you...Im so blessed we're friends

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.

If every beat of my heart is caused by pipol hu r important to me...I just want to say THANK YOU for keeping me alive.

Just when you thought everything is falling apart, look again...maybe, just maybe things are actually falling into their right place.

what will you do when faced with 2 choices?
simple...
"toss a coin..."
it works not because it settles the question for you, but while the coin is in the air, you suddenlt know what you are hoping.

When no one wants 2 take ur heart, ur too eager 2 giv 8 away...when sum1 is willing and even dying 2 hav 8, u kip it safe and locked...

Gn text ko pa gd xa..."Text yani tanan Cmu?"
Cathrina: nd a...grabe kah man...Heheh...Cnu na Fafa moh haw?
"Bale nag kagat xa sa joke ko.....haaaaaayyy!(tm)

Fall inluv with nurse 4 dey care best...engineer.....aahhhhh....luma na ni...tak-an ko!

"Tapos si Daisy 1 hour late reply nya sakon...tapos na kami ya storyahanay ni Tin asta naka lab-ot na kami sa habagat...bag-o lang xa ya nagreply...ndi ko na pag ehambal diri kung anu gn estoryahan namun kay basi may ma pikon...basta reply ko sa iya ang pinaka last gd...GLOBE SI WAPOLZ!hehehehe..."

mu lang 2 a....padayon kita kay cat...

Pipol may destroy ur image. Stain ur personality. But they cant take away ur character. Coz no matter what, u are admired by pipol hu rily know u...

A wasted moment can make u regret so bad...A single mistake can change ur whole life. From then, ull see how the little things u ignore meant everything when they are gone.

Never explain yourself to anyone, bcoz the person who likes u doesnt need it and the person who doesnt like u wont believe it.

Basta mu 2 pang text ni Cathrina Capadosa a...
kabudlay estoryahon ang tawo nga inlove...hahaha....=p

Btw, c cathrina classmate ko ni xa sa CPU, College of Computer Studies, IT dept...
Buddy ko ni xa sa Thesis...ang mahal2x nga thesis...ahay!
basta permi ni xa lost in the wolrd....

Takipsilim (Twilight, Filipino version)


I nearly died laughing. I want to marry the psycho-genius who created this thing. Bahahaha. Grabbed from Fiel and Help_my_sanity of livejournal.com...(pipz..the author, i revised something ha, puro ka ka kasi "tangina"...credits for you...GOOD JOB men!!!)

"kasi pare ganito daw yun. May isa daw babae na hot daw pare. Maputla siya kasi hindi siya inalagaan ng nanay niya pare. Tapos pare emo daw siya kasi nga daw hindi siya mahal ng mundo at para siyang patay na bata na galit sa mundo. Tapos pare, lumipat daw siya ng tirahan kasi daw masyado daw siyang emo para sa luma niyang tirahan. Sabi niya sa nanay niya "nay gusto ko lumipat kay tatay". Pare hindi nagalit nanay niya. sabi lang ng nanay niya "OK!". So lumipat siya sa tatay niya di ba? Pagkarating niya dun sabi niya, "Erpat bakit maulan dito?" sabi ng erpat niya "bur" months na! malamig na boba". So nagtaka yung babaeng simula ngayon ay tatawagin na lang nating "babaeng maputla at emo".

So pumasok siya sa school di ba? Binigyan siya ng truck ng tatay niya pare. Sabi ng tatay niya "Sayo na tong truck ko". Sabi niya "Salamat Tay".

Pagkarating niyang school, may nakita siyang lalaking mukhang bangkay pero pogi. Sakto. Pogi pero mukhang bangkay. Sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "hot pare".

Nung chem lab na ni babaeng maputla at emo, natagpuan niyang lab partner niya yung poging bangkay. So nung tinignan siya nung poging bangkay, ang asim ng mukha nito. mukhang nandiri ata kay babaeng maputla at emo.

Sabi ni poging bangkay "mmmmmm". Sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "aaaayyyy". Sabi ni poging bangkay *tumuro sa teacher nila*". Sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "oo nga noh. Sabi ni poging bangkay "bampira ako". tapos naghubad siya ng damit at kumintab ang katawan niya kasi linagyan niya ng glitters ang abs niya kasi tigas siya at ganun na ang mga tigas ngayon na nagpupuntang emba.

So pare na in love si babaeng maputla at emo kay poging bangkay. Si poging bangkay naman sige lang kasi sex appeal din daw yun. so ayun. angshweet shweet nila.

"eow poh... ahihihihi"
"bebe mwahugz,..... ^^,"

So tapos nun nagpunta sila sa damuhan kasi.... alam mo na. tapos sabi ni poging bangkay "ikaw na buhay ko ngayon" sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "Patay ka na". sabi ni poging bangkay "Oo nga pala".

So basically pare yun lang yung mga importanteng nangyari sa buong storya. intense noh? kaya pala nahhook lahat ng tao. Akala ko overrated. Hindi pala. Astig pala. Parang estorya ni Jesus Christ pero may mga bampira. Mas astig. Alam naman natin ang basic equation ng pagkacool."

t?kung anu gd man???rock on noh?hahahah....
