Sustainable Outdoor Adventures: Leave No Trace

Use what you already own for longer

The most sustainable piece of kit is usually the one already in your cupboard. Repairing tent poles, replacing a gas hose or buying a missing bracket can keep useful gear on the road for years longer.

Plan resupply and waste properly

Small habits matter. Carry a rubbish bag you will actually use, refill water where it is allowed, and keep food planning realistic so you are not binning unused supplies after each trip.

• Refill rather than rebuy where local facilities allow it
• Choose durable kitchen kit over disposable camping extras
• Check whether old electrical kit can be repaired before replacing it

Travel with local communities in mind

Responsible travel is also about where you park, shop and camp. Spend locally when you can, follow local access rules and avoid treating quiet communities like a free overnight car park.
