Saving the Trails- what YOU can do
Off-Roading Tips
- Straddle ruts, even if they are wider than your vehicle. This will keep your vehicle level.
- Respect the rights of others while they recreate in the woods, even the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) and Sierra Club members.
- Educate yourself and others about regulations and compliance to barriers, oh, and use maps and proper Leave No Trace ethics.
- Avoid wet meadows, stream banks, chasing wildlife and livestock and tromping on Cryptobiotic soil at all costs.
- Drive responsibly to protect your right to operate my motorized vehicle on roads in WILD lands and to help conserve those lands anyway you can.
- Use "tree safe" equipment for recovery should you need it.
- Leave nothing and take nothing while on the trail.
- Stay within the marked trail, going around an obstacle is cheating yourself, your fun, the challange and the environment.

Re: Saving the Trails- what YOU can do
Good points CP. ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif) Too bad you can't put this in an appropriate place like the LU. ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif) By the way is the first letter of each tip supposed to spell a word? It would be really cool if it did.

Re: Saving the Trails- what YOU can do
I don't know why this thread is here. Most H1 owners are deaf and dumb.
Not all. But most.

Easy now....
We need to keep our focus on the issue at hand, and deal with that issue later.

Re: Saving the Trails- what YOU can do
A similar list:
- Cross streams slowly, at a 90-degree angle and only at designated trail fording points. This will help minimize stream bed damage and will help keep water out of the engine's air intake.
- Respect the rights of others while they recreate in the woods, even the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) and Sierra Club members.
- Educate yourself and others about regulations and compliance to barriers, oh, and use maps and proper Leave No Trace ethics.
- Avoid wet meadows, stream banks, chasing wildlife and livestock and tromping on Cryptobiotic soil at all costs.
- Make the most of the environment.
- Yield the right of way for drivers on the uphill grade or overtaking you.
- Avoid slide slipping, which can start a rut, ultimately leading to erosion.
- Stay within the marked trail, going around an obstacle is cheating yourself, your fun, the challenge and the environment.
- Straddle ruts, even if they are wider than your vehicle. This will keep your vehicle level.
- Leave nothing and take nothing while on the trail.
- Opt for"tree safe" equipment for recovery should you need it.
- Avoid mud if you can while remaining on the road or trail. If you can't, use low gearing and just enough throttle to maintain forward movement.
- Drive responsibly to protect your right to operate my motorized vehicle on roads in WILD lands and to help conserve those lands anyway you can.
