When it comes to camping, there are rules you should follow to respect nature: don’t use even biodegradable soap in streams to avoid disrupting the ecosystem; pitch your tent on established or durable surfaces instead of trampling vegetation; use local firewood so you don’t introduce invasive insects and diseases.
There are rules for respecting your fellow humans, too. By practicing good outdoor etiquette, you keep the experience safe and peaceful for other campers. Follow the above dos and don’ts, and you’ll help preserve the tranquility people were likely seeking when they decided to get out in nature.
