Na, I'd just spit on the ceiling of the lift instead

Just remember to step to one side when you do!
Good thread, I will always try to honor these Etiquettes.
There were a few that weren't known by me yet, so thank you for the great information guys.

"30. Dont drive goats into the other team's camp when out on a competition"
Haha! Where is the story of this???
Great thread, I agree with alot of comments about most of the things outlines in the guidelines. Thanks for putting the time in to create it.
I usually camp out on my billy - nothing like resting back in ones hammock with a brew as the buzzards call and deer skitter past...a pace I was made for. This year there will be lots of just me and my son, and one or two others if the mood takes me. I'm not great with crowds, or even a small group of people, so I may join a moot but probably only for the bushcraft, and not the social interaction.
Good guidelines either way.

Really good set of rules, just wish everyone would "respect" the outdoors. We seem to spend a fair amount of time picking up rubbish people have "left" behind.
Stepping over food - I don't get this one... food is either being prepared, being cooked or being eaten and I just don't see how any of those states of being involve food on the floor unattended. Don't leave food laying around unattended, it's food - important stuff. You wouldn't leave custom knives laying around on the floor I hope.
Ah I saw that one. Folks often prep on a plate on their lap. They put the plate down on a log or suchlike to clean hands or feed the fire, and some iijit steps over instead of going around, and mud/leaves/grass falls off their boots. Same with mugs, they get put down on the ground sometimes while folks do something or other, and the same happens.
Never thought of it as a rule though, more a courtesy sort of thing.
Maybe it should be, "Put your plate on your seat!", or your mug under it
cheers,
Toddy

At a recent Rough Close meet we had an intruder who attacked all the unattended food. Said Labradoor was soon apprehended and returned to owner.
"29. A small torch or a candle lantern is all that is really needed to navigate bad terrain in the dark."
Hmmm
Hmmm
I suspect that means around a camp where other people could be dazzled.
Things are different when you are out navigating in the wild sometimes.

IT always makes me chuckle when I see people whining about night vision being ruined when they will happily spend hours gazing into a hot camp fire at night. I'm all for one light that does everything (ie: bright and dim light) instead of carrying all sorts of lanterns and contraptions and candles around. It's just common courtesy not to shine lights in peoples faces isn't it.
Absolutely. When you are talking to someone face to face either turn off your head torch or cover it.
only time a torch/flashlight at campfire is acceptable is when telling spooky stories and then only for under-the-chin ambience
Mark your Cat holes, seriously I don't want to dig up anyone elses wee broon pals. Failure to comply is a capital offence in my book.

It was the cat holes got me here
, but it's a great thread and I wholly agree about the music! It's nature's own music I come out for.
Don't camp near me then, if Jamie's there with a fiddle, there will be music
Come to think on it, you'd best avoid most of the Scottish meet ups altogether; the Loch Troon one is a heavy metal gig
Time and place, sometimes good company around a fire is really enriched by good music

I'm not on here very often but after skimming through all those rules I think I will just disregard them and stick to my own code, that is: Leave no trace, keep it simple and respect everyone.
