I'm new to the outdoors thing. What are some general rules of thumb to keep out of trouble? What are some of the laws I might want to know about? Other than the obvious. I know it will vary with local laws based on location, I'm in the US by the way.

Spitting in the wind won't get me arrested or a ticket.

You also shouldn't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger or mess around with Jim.

in the world of camping there is a difference between what the law says and how it will be applied. outside of fires playing a little dumb and being polite goes a long way. "oh my apologies sir-- i didn't notice the sign we will be on our way you will never see us here again" Being loud, being sloppy, and lighting fires in pleases where it is not allowed are how people get tickets and fines.


hunting and (and to a lesser extent fishing) is a whole different beast-- you should call the ranger station closest to where you are heading out beforehand. unless its close to closing time they will be delighted to answer your questions. hunting is not a situation where its easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

When you're confused and don't know where you're going, keep going. Turn around if you don't recognize the landmarks within 30 minutes. You have to be firm to be good at orienteering

>pro tip
If no one sees you do it then you've broken no laws in the eyes of man.

Good job, real men always leave a trace. If you don't leave a mark showing you conquered something you are likely a nu-male who does around picking up garbage

Yeah. You see, there was a trail there. They just put a fence in front of it - a fence that was really easy to climb.

That's what your park fees get spent on, signs and fences closing off areas so the rangers don't have to leave their cozy offices
>>
>>971131
Bird law in this country doesn't follow any logic.
>>
>>974049
this is why good places get ruined.
please respect nature so everyone can enjoy it un-mutilated by people.

Also, be grateful for people picking up garbage; no one likes finding their favorite /out/ spots full of litter.

The 7 leave no trace principles pretty much cover everything.

OP said "I'm new to the outdoors thing", lets start OP off without trailblazing into what he/she assumes to be the right direction.

Make sure you poop in rivers. It cleans your butt and is more healthy for the environment.

Break in your boots before going on a hike with all your gear.

If you see any wild life that looks like a threat, make sure you body slam it.

Bring multiple fire starters, cause one is none, two is one and three is better (Bic, fire steel, make the third what ever you want.)

Never bring an axe, you can baton every thing with a big ass knife.

Always tell some one where you're going, when you should be back

Use the edge of your blade on your fire striker, this produces even more sparks.

If any dangerous animals live in the area, than cook your food away from camp, store that shit in the trees.

If you see a bear, assault it with harsh words and run.

Bring good amount of rope and learn knots.

No it isn't since you pick up the trash for me. The outdoors gets ruined by poverty or population growth. Both of which are promoted by the establishment

Because strangers will clean up after you doesn't entitle you to make a mess.

The outdoors gets ruined my more than that.
I like my nature to look like nature and not a city park, with carved on trees, trampled down grass, garbage here and there, and graffiti all over benches and trash cans.
I go out to get away from that, and hope people like you understand the effects of "leave no trace"
