    PE AND HEALTH – 12
    SECOND SEMESTER

    WHAT IS OUTDOOR RECREATION?


     Done during vacation or school break
     They want to have fan
     Done outdoors with nature

    Putting the answers together, outdoor recreation is organized activities done during one’s free time for his/her own personal
    reasons, where an interaction between man and an elements of nature is present.

    A day can be divided into three parts according to CLAYNE R. JENSEN (2006):

    1. EXISTENCE TIME
    2. SUBSISTENCE TIME
    3. FREE TIME

     EXISTENCE TIME – is time spent for biological needs like having a meal, sleeping, and other personal care.
     SUBSISTENCE TIME – refers to the hours spent for the economic purposes such as going to work, chores, and for students,
    hours spent in school, and school work.
     FREE TIME – therefore is all the remaining time after. How one decides to spend free time varies from person to person. Perhaps,
    to those who have been very busy with workload or school work, this is the best to do recreational activities, to relax, and to
    rejuvenate.

    Recreation is derived from the Latin word recreare which means to be refreshed.
    Recreational activities depend on one’s interest, pursuits, and needs which may be reflective of one’s beliefs and level of
    gratification.
    For example, a natural park may serve as a bonding place for family to have a picnic, a great fitness area for a jogger, and a place
    to commune with nature or meditate for others.
    People engage in outdoor recreational activity for their own sake and pleasure, voluntarily, and of their own choice.

    THE LEAVE NO TRACE SEVEN PRINCIPLES

    Principle 1: Plan Ahead and Prepare


     Before going to a place, check if your planned activity is permitted. Make sure to know the rules, guidelines, and safety
    procedures, they have ser. Some places require certain permits or clearances.
     Make sure you have the needed equipment for your activity and the skills needed to undertake the activity.
     Plan how to cope in case emergency arises.
     Check the weather forecast and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
     Learn when areas are more crowded and try to avoid those times.
     To minimize environmental impact and for safety reasons, keep group numbers small.
     Repack food to minimize waste.
     When trekking, maps and compass must be used to avoid marking or leaving of marks on rocks and the like.

    Principle 2: Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces


     Walk, run, bike, or camp on durable surfaces like established tracks, rocks, gravel, and dry grasses.
     Avoid walking on soft surfaces like soft plants. You might be trampling on a young tree or pasture and this will cause
    vegetation damage.
     Use existing trails or campsites, no need to build a new campsite that will alter the environment.
     To avoid erosion, walk in single file in the middle of the trail.
     Avoid places where impacts are just beginning to show.
     When camping, keep the campsite small and discreet.
     Camp at least 200 feet from lakes and rivers to protect the waters.

    Principle 3: Dispose of Waste Properly


     “Pack it in, pack it out” means everything you brought should be brought back with you including left-over food or fruit peel.
    Nothing should be left.
     When camping, cat holes are dug (6-8 inches deep) for human waste and covered just the same with soil and weeds or
    leaves on top.
     Dishes should be washed 200 feet away from lakes or rivers and use biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater
    .
    Principle 4: Leave What You Find
     Examine archeological structures, old walls and other heritage artifacts but do not touch nor leave marks on them.
     Leave nature as you found them. Do not take any plant, rock, or marine animals with you.
     Avoid introducing non-native plants and animals.
     Do not build structures, furniture, or dig trenches.

    Principle 5: Minimize Campfire Impacts


     Use lightweight stove for cooking; campfires can cause lasting impacts.
     If fires are permitted, use fire rings or mound fires that are already set-up.
     Keep fires small and use only sticks from the ground than can be broken by hand.
     No burning of plastics or other substances that emit toxic fumes.
     Burn all wood to ash and make sure fires are completely out. Scatter the cool ash.

    Principle 6: Respect Wildlife


     Observe wild animals from a distance and they should be avoided during sensitive times such as mating, nesting, or raising
    the young.
     Do not feed wild animals or birds as it is not their natural food. The food might damage their health or alter their natural
    behaviors and even expose them to predators.
     Protect wildlife and protect your food as well by storing and securing the trash well.
     In case you decide to bring your pts along, make sure it is allowed and you can control them. Otherwise, do not bring them
    with you.

    Principle 7: Be Considerate of Other Visitors


     Respect people who live and work in the countryside.
     Respect other visitors and let them have a momentous experience as well.
     Allow the sound of nature to prevail, not your noise or your radio.
     Be courteous; yield to others on a trail.
     Camp away from trails and other visitors.
