Annette McGivney - LEAVE NO TRACE: A Guide to the New Wilderness Etiquette, 2nd Edition
http://www.mountaineersbooks.org/productdetails.cfm?SKU=9102
I have just finished reading this book. It is good food for thought - and should be read by anyone spending any significant amount of time in The Nature.
Some of the principles outlined by the author clashes directly some with classic bushcraft techniques/traditions - and rightly so imho. If anywone were to build a debris shelter, make a campfire and whittle a spoon, when visiting The Nature, there would soon be no actual Nature left to visit.
I highly recommend reading this book, you may not agree with the author on everything - but no matter whether your are a complete novice or an experienced outdoorsman, your are bound to learn something from this book. And more importantly; you are bound to consider (and maybe even re-consider) your ways in The Nature.
