Avoiding Impact on Environment

 Since the chosen area is very wet

during this period it will be very
difficult to start forest fires
either way contests are asked to
never leave their fires
unattended
 For making shelters contestants
are only allowed to cut branches
of fully grown trees, and collect
dead branches
 The fishing restraints are limited
to ten fish a day and the rare
artic grayling is off limits
