SMART Prep | Quick Question 211177

Thursday evening was colder than I expected, and the wind kept shaking the tents. After dinner, our group sat around the fire and listened to Mr Patel explain how to leave no trace in the bush. He showed us how to pack out food scraps, keep to the track, and check for pests on our shoes before we walked back. I wrote the steps in my notebook because I knew they would be useful later. The best part of the camp was not the marshmallows. It was seeing how carefully everyone looked after the place so the next group could enjoy it too.
