In the Bush

- Do not wash in the lake or river.
.- Wash your dishes away from the water's edge, moving into the bush
approximately 10 metres. Use sand instead of soap to scrub them clean.
.- Do not dump waste food or garbage in the water.
.- Clean fish well away from the water's edge.
- Build latrines well back from the water's edge.
- If a latrine is needed only for temporary use, dig a shallow pit approximately 15 centimetres deep, at least 10 metres away from the water's edge and cover over with earth when moving on.
- Dig shallow pits, approximately 15 centimetres deep, to bury compostable waste such as food waste or fish guts. Or burn waste to avoid attracting animals.

- Pack out all nondegradable waste, such as cans, bottles, tinfoil, and plastic.
.- Fill outboard motors over land, not over water.
- Consider using an electric motor or a canoe instead of a gasoline motor.
