Visibility is a safety system
Survival orange gives six bunks a clear edge against cloud, snow, and wet bush.
A shelter is a signal
Read the weather, not the map
The route is part of the room
Hours, distance, and shelter stay legible before the tin roof comes into view.
Wear is evidence, not failure
Chalked paint, rusted fixings, and damp timber record the seasons.
Leave the book better than you found it
One honest note and a dry stack of kindling carry the next party through.
