Introducing legions of wilderness worshippers to the gospel of treading lightly on the land, NOLS presents Soft Paths as a major contribution to that effort. This well-written and easy to read book details minimum impact techniques for a wide variety of environments. Any outdoor person (frontcountry or backcountry, veteran or neophyte) can do a better job when enjoying wildlands, and this book will show you not only how but, more importantly, why.
Want to learn where to hike? Or how to dig a cat hole? Or the best place to camp without establishing a new site? Just what the heck should I do with those slimy food orts at the bottom of my cookpot near the top of some peak? Take a read of NOLS Soft Paths and you'll find out.
Included in this new edition:
- Details of new laws that affect outdoor enthusiasts
- New research into the public’s use of the wilderness
- Updated information on waste disposal, fire building, and many other topics
- Specific advice tailored to a variety of environments, from deserts to arctic tundra
