    ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK Leave No Trace Outdoor Skills & Ethics Leave No Trace Outdoor Skills and Ethics ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics November, 2004 Leave No Trace — Isle Royale National Park Skills & Ethics 1 Wildland Ethics "Ethical and moral questions and how we answer them may determine whether primal scenes will continue to be a source of joy and comfort to future generations. The decisions are ours and we have to search our minds and souls for the right answers..." "The real significance of wilderness is a cultural matter. It is far more than hunting, fishing, hiking, camping or canoeing; it has to do with the human spirit." —Sigurd F. Olson ...and so we visit wild places to discover ourselves, to let our spirits run with the graceful canoe and journey through the beckoning forests. The wilderness is good for us. It enables us to discover who we really are, and to explore who we are really meant to be. It is the nature of wild places that gives us the space to slow the pace of our lives, to becalm the storms of everyday life, to gain perspective on the things we truly value. Sigurd Olson needed wild places...they gave much to him, as they do to us—and, so, we should be eager to give back. Our favorite places— those whose forests have welcomed us, whose lakes have refreshed us, whose sunsets have inspired awe—are not ours alone. They are a treasured resource, there for the good of all who seek their own true spirit through solitude and adventure.

  • Women's Hygiene
    WOMEN'S SPECIFIC ISSUES As Leave No Trace Master Educators and Trainers, it is inevitable that questions and concerns about human biology will come in to play. Many workshop or course participants may feel comfortable talking about human bodily functions, while others may find it much more difficult to discuss in a group setting. This is especially evident when discussing women’s specific aspects of Leave No Trace. Although there is some information within the Leave No Trace literature that deals with feminine hygiene, it has become clear that having more general knowledge about how to deal with these issues is crucial to many Master Educators and Trainers. Paul Stonehouse, Associate Professor of Outdoor Leadership at Simpson University, has been teaching Leave No Trace Trainer Courses for the past several years, after being exposed to Leave No Trace in 2002 through a NOLS mountaineering course. Since then, Paul has taken both a literal and philosophical approach to Leave No Trace, which are clearly imprinted on his view of the importance of women’s specific Leave No Trace information. Paul sees understanding women’s hygiene in backcountry and wilderness settings to be critical in a threefold way as it relates to: 1) the health of the individual, 2) the immediate environmental impact that can result, and 3) the relationship of the individual to wild places. Aspect one, the health of the individual, stems from a personal experience where on a longer trip, a woman began her second period in the middle of her cycle from physical exertion. “It became a medical concern at the time.

  • Chapter 8: Sanitation and Hygiene 1
    Chapter 8: Sanitation and Hygiene 1 This chapter focuses on sanitation and hygiene factors for preppers. Its primary focus is on the disposal of human effluent. On average a person produces 128 grams or a little over one quarter of a pound of fecal matter a day. Fecal matter is nutrient rich and eventually it is converted into compost by bacteria and microorganisms where its nutrients are recycled into the soil. It is a matter where and how this decomposition occurs. Unfortunately, fecal matter is also a source of disease that can be transmitted to other people if care is not taken. For preppers, there are essentially three approaches to disposing of human effluent. The first method is to decompose it onsite. The hot and cold composting approaches are examples of this approach. The second approach is to store it and transport it to another site where it is decomposed. The vault systems typify this approach. The third approach is to flush it where it is transported to another site for decomposition. There is no onsite storage of the human effluent. Central sewage treatment plants exemplify this approach. For most preppers, disposal of human effluent is determined by the existing facilities being used, whether those facilities work, and the length or duration of the crisis situation. For homesteaders using a composting toilet or outhouse, most likely continue using their outhouse or composting toilet in a crisis situation. People on a septic system will most likely continue using their septic system during a crisis situation. However, they may need to add an external water source to operate the system.
