Winnemucca Lake 눈산행 평가

일반적으로는 퍼밋신청 후 가능한듯한데 지역이나 기간에 따라 특별제한이 있을 수도 있는듯 합니다.

# 캠프파이어 링

Campgrounds: Build fires only in designated fire rings, grills or fireplaces. Most developed campgrounds have some version of these. Using a fire ring will lesson your impact and keep your fire contained.

Always check with the campground operator to make sure fires are permitted. In some areas, severe dry periods can cause campfires to be prohibited even in campgrounds.

If you’re car camping in an undeveloped site, check in advance with the agency that administers the land (U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, etc.). A campfire permit may be required.

Evaluate the site before starting a fire. If the site is brushy or has low-hanging branches, keep your fire small or skip it altogether. In dry conditions, fly-away embers could easily ignite a wildfire.

Backcountry: In backcountry areas where fires are permitted, use an existing fire ring if one has been left behind. Build a new one only in emergency situations and, if the situation permits, dismantle it when you are done. If one already exists, clean it out before you depart.

Clear away all flammable material from your fire pit. Ideally, the base of your fire should be sand or gravel or mineral soil (often found in streambeds or on gravel bars). Intense heat can sterlize healthy soil, so choose your site conscientiously.

An alternative to a fire ring is a mound fire. Using your sanitation trowel, build a circular, flat platform of mineral soil (sandy, light-colored, nonfertile dirt) about 6-8 inches high. Use this as the base for your fire. Ideally, build this platform on a flat rock. You can easily disperse the mound when you're finished.

Campgrounds: Use only local firewood. Nearby stores often carry firewood, and sometimes campground hosts offer bundles of firewood or kindling for sale.

Do not bring wood with you if you’re traveling from more than 50 miles away. Campgrounds may even ban bring-your-own firewood regardless of the distance you travel. Why? To avoid introducing troublesome insects into a forest.

Call the campground or a local ranger office in advance for information and advice.

Backcountry: If you forage for firewood, gather only downed wood far from your site. Never cut live trees or break off branches from standing trees, even dead trees. Birds and wildlife make use of dead branches and snags.

Do not gather or burn pieces thicker than an adult's wrist. This is because thick chunks of wood are rarely allowed to burn completely and are typically left behind as blackened, unsightly scraps.

Remember to follow Leave No Trace principles when gathering wood. 

Fire Permit  애 대한 일반적인 가이드라인인걸로 보이네요. 기본적으로는 캠핑, 백팩킹시 조리용 스토버라도 Fire Permit 은 1년단위로 셀프 발급 받아야 합니다.

다만, 어찌보면 좀 귀찮을수도 있는데 관리 주체에 따라 지역에따라 다 다르니 성가시지만 백팩킹 가는곳 에 맞춰 알아봐야 할듯요.

Red Alret Fire Restriction  이 뜨면 캠핑장내 캠파이어도 금지고 겨울같은 No Restriction 경우라도 Desolation 를 포함한 Lake Tahoe 대부분 지역은 Backcountry  캠프파이어는 금지로 알고 있습니다.

 

Inyo NF 같은경우는 1만피트 고도제한인데 요세미티는 8000ft 고도제한있고 하여튼 지역마다 관리주체따라 Fire Alret  레벨따라 조금씩 차이가 있는거 같습니다. 

 

2년전쯤 백팩킹중 다른 그룹과 우연히 대화를 나누다 그중한명이 Fire Restriction  위반으로 벌금 받은적이 있었고 전해들은 벌금 액수 듣고 깜짝 놀랐던 기억이 있습니다. 

레인저가 이른아침 지나다 타고 남은 재에서 연기가 나는거 보고 캠프파이어 금지구역인데 우드 게더링해서 불피웠다고 티켓 받았다고 들은적이 있습니다.

 

레인저들은 설명해주고 난후 대부분 Warning 주고 마는데 가끔 열받어면 위반 티켓 주는 경우도 있나 봅니다
