"Clean camping practices encompass everything from personal hygiene and cookware cleaning to water purification systems and human waste disposal. Remember, once you're in the woods, no municipal water utilities will do the dirty work for you. You may have seen the words "Leave No Trace" on the packaging of CAMPING GEAR, in books, or on Internet trail guides, but these are not merely words of encouragement. The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics has developed seven principles designed to keep the wilderness as it is for generations to come, and should be strictly followed and kept in mind during all camping activities. This includes anything you do to keep yourself and your camp clean." (EMS Schools website). Very Good+ .
