How-To Dune Tips - Dune Guardianship
Dune Guardianship: - From the first moment our wheels hit that sand we never want this incredible experience to disappear. Riding sand dunes is immediately primal and exciting offering an escapist wonderment unique to duning. The thrill inspires respect of the dunes and amazement at their resilient efficiency erasing all traces of off-roading minutes after being tracked. Supporting all the fine organizations representing off-roading in all its forms is good. Taking conscious responsibility of our own actions every time we're on the dunes is better. It's very simple. You drop it? You pick it up. You spill it? You clean it up. Someone else drops it? You pick it up. Someone else spills it? You clean it up. Yes, its a pain being a lazy duner's "Mommy" cleaning up their litter but you have to take it personally. Every water bottle, pop can, broken quad fender, oil-saturated rag, broken sunglasses, sandwich bag, rusted muffler, broken u-joint, and gear-oil container neglectfully left on the sand sabotages future generations ever experiencing the dunes in off-road vehicles. Join all the off-road rights protection groups but remember the single best protection is pickup your junk and the junk of others. Ride by the rules. Be a dune custodian and bring a trash bag or trash bucket with you on every trip. Make it fun for the kids to help spot debris and drag it off the dunes. Get the debris into proper waste containers or cart it home with you for proper disposal...just get it off the dunes and know you're taking personal, direct responsibility that cost you only your time. Dune guardianship gifts future generations with their own chance to be Dune Ready®.
