Mocha: "I can’t open that link. I can't comment on the change but you may find some of the content of the thread brought up by Jakthund of interest. It seems to be part of internal USFS terminology/nomenclature that isn't explicit in public literature but slips through from time to time. Fixed link: Primitive and Pristine forest in SNF |

I think they tell you to not use old camps/portage trails but realistically that doesn't happen. I am not even sure that is what's best for the PMA's? I wouldn't get the saw out and completely clear a portage or camp either though. We camped a few times on a PMA Lake to fish a few years in a row and when we left you would of never known where we camped.--even though we had a fire. In fact I've seen trip reports of people taking pictures right where we had our fire and they didn't even identify that spot as a potential camp site LOL. So it isn't too hard to be LNT. T |
