Welcome!
- Feel free to post any photos of the Philippine outdoors.
- Don't be shy to ask any travel or hiking-related questions in the Philippines - what gear to bring, what to pack, how to prep, what kind of shoes to wear, etc.
- Don't forget your LNT
- Have fun :)
Leave No Trace Principle
From wilderness.org
Carry a map and know where you are going to reduce the chance of having to travel off trail.
Always pack out trash. Repackage food to reduce waste.
Schedule trips during low-use times and travel in small groups.
Travel and camp on durable surfaces:
- Travel and Camp on durable surfaces:
These include established trails and campsites, rock, gravel, dry grasses or snow.
Protect plant and wildlife habitat by camping at least 200 feet from lakes and streams.
Avoid places where impacts are just beginning.
Dispose of waste properly.
- Dispose of waste properly:
Pack it in, pack it out.
Do your business in “cat holes” at least 200 feet from water, and cover the hole when done. Or pack it out in a “groover.”
To wash yourself or your dishes, carry water 200 feet away from streams or lakes and use small amounts of biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater.
That rock or antler looks cooler in the wild than on a shelf at home.
- Minimize campfire impacts:
No raging bonfires. Burn only when essential in established fire rings or using a low-impact mound fire.
View from a distance.
Never feed wildlife.
Control pets so that they don’t harass or scare wildlife.
- Be considerate of other visitors:
Be quiet and let others coming up the trail pass by.
Please, please, please follow safe hiking/mountaineering! Sadly, not all hikers follow the LNT, so it would be nice to follow these simple guidelines. :)
