Always carry a litter bag — make sure all refuse is
removed from any campsite before leaving.

Take extreme care with open fires where permitted,
camp stoves, and lanterns.

Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other
combustible materials that could catch fire from
the heat of the vehicle’s exhaust system.

Traveling to Remote Areas

It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going
to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your
route. You are much less likely to get bad surprises.
Get accurate maps of trails and terrain. Try to learn of
any blocked or closed roads.

It is also a good idea to travel with at least one other
vehicle. If something happens to one of them, the other
can help quickly.

Does your vehicle have a winch? If so, be sure to read
the winch instructions. In a remote area, a winch
can be handy if you get stuck. But you will want to know
how to use it properly.
