Use reusable equipment like sturdy plates, cups, cutlery that can be washed and reused.
Use less packaging, where possible use reusable containers. Buy some of your food from a farmers market or direct from a farmer.
Use the campfire as much as possible rather than using the gas or fuel stove, most foods can be cooked on the campfire.
Use much more efficient lighting with LED lights and torches which use up to 90% less energy and use rechargable batteries.
Do not leave any rubbish or trace that you have been – take everything with you, bag up your rubbish and dispose of responsibly. Recycle bottles cans etc.
Use biodegradable detergent or soaps when washing yourself, the dishes or clothes and be at least 30 metres from any water source.
Take care with the campfire that it does not get out of control and make sure it is out before leaving.
