Hiking That Benefits Mother Nature
When you are out hiking or otherwise enjoying the beauty and wonders of nature, you share a responsibility to make sure others can have the same enjoyment. Here are 5 rules to follow when you hit the trails:
Show Courtesy
It’s all nice that we smile and nod when another party goes by. It is also good that we give way to the smaller group of hikers going up a sloped path. But the best part about courtesy during a hiking trip is when we take care of the weakest hiker. If they’re really tired then we can take a break and have them sit on camping chairs. We also helped another person get a good experience out of hiking. This way, lots more people will understand why we get so much satisfaction out of hiking.
Don’t Pollute
A responsible hiker leaves no trace of his trash even if there are no rules on a campsite or on a park. Even small bits of gum wrappers will have the most adverse effects if every hiker that went along dropped one. All the trash that you will produce you can bring along with you and just throw it in the trash bin as you pass by one.
If you’re going to relieve yourself you can dig a cat hole deep enough to prevent it from being washed away into a watershed. Make sure that you are at a distance from the stream or river so your waste doesn’t contaminate the drinking water of other hikers. A lot of disease-causing bacteria make other hikers ill this way.
Be Respectful
Shouting and cavorting is all well and good, but if we really intend to appreciate the beauty of nature as is what hiking is all about, then we should try to keep as quiet as possible so as to not disturb others enjoyment.
Ecological Impact
We all would think that a lone hiker wouldn’t certainly destroy an ecosystem. However, a steady flow of hikers will disturb the habitat of a lot of plants and animals in a forest. Especially if we’re going through a path where there are endangered species trying to proliferate. This not considering that the accumulative waste that we will produce will be enough to contaminate their surroundings and available food sources.
Take Care With Fire
Fires used for cooking and campfire should be done in areas where the ground is bare. Before starting a fire, make sure you can control it.
It all comes down to respecting yourself, others, and the environment. Just do it, cause it’s the right thing to do.
