Trail Practices for Hiking Groups

It is recommended to walk side by side when hiking with a group to protect the side vegetation and prevent erosion.

It is advised to avoid stepping on someone's footprints on muddy trails.

When walking on wet ground beside rocks or logs, the chances of having an accident increase.

Surveying the best way to pass a blocking log on the trail may involve crawling under it.

It is recommended to grab onto vines or roots for support without checking if they are sturdy or have thorns.

When crossing rivers or streams, it is advisable to face the strong current head-on to prevent being knocked down.

Camping right next to the water source is recommended to have easy access to water.

Natural windbreakers like trees, bushes, and cogon grass can be used to protect the tent from strong winds.

Camping near overhangs or dead trees is considered safe for the campers.

It is advisable to create a new camping area to reduce the impact on the environment.

Selecting a camping area with a steep terrain is ideal for good water drainage when it rains.
