This will be at least 200 metres from the water and will help to protect water quality and minimise pollution, as well as protecting local wildlife.

Try to use a hammock or tarp instead of a tent and do not intend to destroy any vegetation, even if it is in the shade of trees and bushes.

The high crests of Carson National Forest are mostly steep and densely overgrown, so when camping, wear sneakers to avoid trampling vegetation. If you are in a certain place, you may not even be out of sight for a few hours in the shade of the trees.

Take the time to find a good campsite and camp in the shade of a tree or in a shady tree, not too close to the trail or road.

If you need to have a fire, use only fallen or dead wood or use a portable stove instead. The hooks should not be cut because animals depend on them, and if they do, they should not be cut - cut.

Remove all ducks and waste from the forest as well as deadwood to prevent the spread of the fire, and remove all ducks or forests that are thrown on the next tree.

Ring of Fire is not necessary, but remember that candles can be the center of the group, rather than a campfire. Never leave a fire unattended, make sure you are dead and do not leave any burn marks when you leave.

Can you drink water in the wild, and if the answer to that question is a resounding "yes" or "no," then you are probably not drinking water at all.

Packaging: When you pack everything, pack it with a water filter, water filtration system and / or water filters for your car, backpack or backpack.

Burial, spraying or burning food scraps attracts only animals and leaves a mess for other people. Dig a hole 5 - 6 inches deep and cover the hole with everything you use; microorganisms do the rest.

In large groups, they behave similarly to other wild animals such as bears, wolves, coyotes, foxes, bears and other predators.
