and urges every off-roader to
follovv these basic rules for
protecting the environment.
•
Always use established trails,
roads and areas that have been
specially set aside for public
off-road recreational driving;
obey all posted regulations.

environment - shrubs, flowers,
trees, grasses - or disturb
wildlife (this includes wheel

or unnecessary driving through
streams or over soft ground).

make sure all refuse is removed
from any campsite before
leaving.

Take extreme care with open
fires, camp stoves and lanterns.

Never park your vehicle over
dry grass or other combustible
materials that could catch fire
from the heat of the vehicle's
exhaust system.
TRAVELLING TO REMOTE
AREAS
It makes sense to plan your trip,
especially when going to a remote
area. Know the terrain and plan
your route. You are much less
likely to get bad surprises. Get
accurate maps of trails and terrain.
Try
to
learn
of
any biocked or
closed roads.
It's also a good idea to travel with
at least one other vehicle. If some
thing happens to one of them, the
other can help quickly.
Does your vehicle have a winch? If
so, be sure to read the winch
instructions. In a remote area, a
winch can be handy if you get
stuck, however you'll want to
know how to use it properly .
