Always keep spare water/food, avoid gold & big amount cash.

Dont's

Don't disturb animals or their homes. Be a quiet observer and take pics if you want.
Don't litter. Pack a small garbage bag so you can keep track of your trash.
Don't stay on a trail that is too difficult for you. It's more than OK to turn around.
Don't Carry Alcohol or cigarettes on the Trek.
