3. Dispose waste properly. Trash and litter primarily distract from the naturalness of an area
4. Leave what you find: Leave rocks, plants, archeological artifacts and other objects as found to allow others to experience the sense of discovery
5. Minimize use and impact of Fire. Firewood selection, gathering and use of fire tending are critical to minimizing its impact in the environment
6. Respect the wildlife
