I have water purification equipment. Pumps, UV pens, oxide tablets, etc. and again(again, again, again) I can only promise to leave the areas I enter in as good a state or better. I promise to do everything I can to not cause any damage, and to research the rare plants of the area to concern myself with. I understand all the concern about my environmental impact, as we should all be, but equally and independently. I will continue to promise I will be as environmentally aware as possible in my trip, and more importantly, continuing to so in every aspect of island living. I'm a forest dweller when all said and done. My power solar, my construction "green". My water from catch, my carbon foot print low, and my consumption minimal to non existent. And, id also like to add, ive cleared my land 100% by hand, rather hiring the traditional dozer. (saving countless ohia, hapu'u, and varied orchids.) So next time one of you reads all this and thinks, "Oh he's just gonna make a mess of some nice woods, hope he doesn't step on the wrong fern." Take that concern, and focus it at your own SUV driving, fast food eating, cable watching, power eating, McMansion building, land dozing, problems. I'm sure you could actually save some native ferns that way. -and possibly even the world.- if you can still think of a good reason to gripe at me, GET OFF YOUR COMPUTER. -it's filled with nasty elements almost always traceable back to substances that are mined by starving kids in Africa!
