How to leave no trace when hiking & camping (it’s not just about littering)

- Happy new year pals, I hope you added 'go hiking' and 'get outside more' to your 2025 new years resolutions!! I'm here to talk you through the 7 principles of 'leave no trace', a set of ethics and guidelines to encourage people hiking, paddle boarding, backpacking, camping, and doing other generally outdoorsy things, to look after the nature they love to explore. Some of it is general hiking etiquette, some of it is slightly controversial, but I hope all of it is at least a bit helpful to you (especially if you're a hiking beginner). I hope this video helps you understand how to hike responsibly and protect our natural spaces so we can enjoy them for years to come :-)

I'm based in the East Midlands, UK and try to spend as many weekends possible hiking, exploring the outdoors, paddle boarding and capturing beautiful landscapes. New videos as often as I can!
So this is a huge pivot for my channel. After getting burnt out with content creation I decided to stop posting to social media and do some soul searching. Two and a half years later, I realised I need to make stuff that I actually feel passionate about, and for me, that's getting outside into nature and encouraging others to do the same! Hiking, paddle boarding, exploring and just being outside in general has had a huge effect on my life, and I'm super excited to start sharing it with you! 💚
Good decision, you need to have a passion for what you do to keep motivated. If people enjoy watching then that is a bonus.
@@Martin_JPG Thanks Martin, so true!
based and mosspilled & i love your jacket so much !!!
omg MOSSPILLED!!!! thank u so much
Super advice and a good view on leave no trace. Duly subscribed, thank you
Thank you so much!
I love this advice. I think it boils down to be prepared/informed and be respectful of all living things. Some gates in the Peak District had signs on saying "Be nice, say Hi!" Such a simple but lovely thing.
I agree! Based on the amount of litter I see when hiking it's unfortunately not common sense to everyone (or they just choose to ignore it), so hopefully raising awareness will have a good impact. 'Be nice, say hi' is a great motto 😊
Had no clue what LNT was but this video gave me an insight and also very much inspired me to go out and explore, something i will try start doing this year
I'm so happy to hear that you've been inspired!! My goal of being helpful to 1 person has been achieved. Thank you for watching!
@fareweld cannot wait for what you got in store for the future
Nice
thank you!
Toilet paper. Jesus, people, take your toilet paper with you, or use moss, or a stone. No one want to see that shit on trail. Nice video 👍
Oh my god what makes people think leaving toilet paper is okay 😭
@@fareweld No idea. Probably selfishness
@@JonnoDoesStuff Infuriating
you're allowed to take one small rock home as a treat though
Hmmmm as long as its not the coolest looking one
