Hut Rules

	General Hut information		What to bring with you
	Bookings, payments, cancellations		Hut rules

Here is a list of simple rules we ask that you follow in order to maximize everyone’s
enjoyment of the “hut experience”.

While at the hut:

• No smoking.
• Dogs are not permitted in any ACC facility (with the exception of seeing eye dogs).
• Some Parks also outlaw dogs entirely; leashed or not. Check before you go!
• If you arrive at the hut before 2:00pm, put your belongings where they will not disturb the previous nights’ occupants.
• Please be considerate of others; the hut should be quiet by 10 pm.
• Carry out all of your garbage.
• Do not do personal washing in cooking pots or nearby streams - use wash basins and slop pits.
• Do not store food outside the hut or in the near-by stream – you will attract wildlife
• Fill stoves and lanterns outside the hut and leave extra fuel outside.
• Clean the stoves after using them.
• Clean up after yourself.
• Follow posted instructions for care and maintenance of toilet systems so that they function properly with minimum odour and environmental impact.

When leaving a hut:

• If your belongings will be in the hut after 2:00pm, and you are not staying that night, be sure to pack everything up and leave it out of the way in a corner so the new guests can move in.
• Leave all tools inside the hut when not being used.
• Empty all water containers and slop buckets before leaving the hut.
• Take out all leftover food as food left in the hut encourages rodents. (Other people generally won’t use it as they don’t know how old it is.)
• Bring out damaged axes, lanterns or stoves and discharged fire extinguishers - advise the national office.
• Close & latch the outhouse door when leaving to keep out rodents & snow.
• Close/lock hut, replace shutters (if applicable), before leaving the hut.
• A nearly full outhouse, damage to hut & similar matters should be reported to the national office (you may call collect)

Please leave the hut in better condition than you found it.
Thank you for your consideration in following these rules, and have a great time!
