[edit] NPOV

This article has nothing against the LNT movement. It reads like an advertisement for LNT. It should definitely have a criticisms section. Jesuschex 22:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I cannot find any negative comments about Leave No Trace through Google. If you can add criticism that is verifiable and not original research, feel free. I would like to point out that the article does not support LNT, but simply describes it. hike395 23:32, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
John M. Turner critcized the movement in "From Woodcraft to Leave No Trace ...", in the journal Environmental History. Here's a link: [1] (PDF). I'll put up some of his arguments soon. Jesuschex 15:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Fascinating. I think this would be great to incorporate into the article: right now, the article has no historical/political background. After a very quick read, I don't see Turner as against LNT, but pointing out the 180 degree turn that the philosophy of wilderness use took over the last 70 years. That can easily be made NPOV and incorporated into the article. Thanks for pointing this out, it's really interesting. hike395 18:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
