The Frontier Code
Each person who becomes a Frontiersman takes upon himself this code when he becomes
a pioneer and is expected to live by it. The three things that one can always count on a Frontiersman for are:
Respect the out-of-doors. A Frontiersman recognizes the balance of nature and respects it. He is at home in the out-of-doors. He realizes that not all people share his feelings for it and he, therefore, must often compensate for them.
Be self-reliant. A Frontiersman can always depend on himself not only in the out-of-doors, but in all he does. He recognizes that others have things to offer that are of value to him, but he does not depend completely on anyone other than himself. He is ready in every way: physically, mentally, and emotionally to operate completely on his own should the need arise. He is even prepared to take a stand against that which he knows to be wrong, after considering all sides: often meeting social opposition.
Keep your word. A Frontiersman realizes that his word is more valuable than any tangible possession. He is conscious that no matter what else he loses, he has lost nothing if he still has his honor. He is aware that a simple “I will do this” is as binding to him as a formal oath or promise or a written contract.
