I have come across an interesting web site called "Leave No Trace" that
discusses proper use of the backcountry.
It can be found at http://www.lnt.org/
The Principles of Leave No Trace are (from
http://www.lnt.org/LNTWildlandEthics)
Plan Ahead and Prepare
Concentrate Impacts in High Use Areas
Spread Use and Impact in Pristine Areas
Avoid Places Where Impact is Just Beginning
Pack It In, Pack It Out
Properly Dispose of What You Cannot Pack Out
Leave What You Find
Use Fire Responsibly
Leave No Trace, Inc., is a non-profit educational corporation authorized
by the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to promote the Leave No
Trace educational message.
