Prune away! Braided/duplicated tracks cause much greater problems than pruning ever will. Not to mention it sucks to get lost.

Anything that lasts more than a few weeks will have some form of plastic blended in; which makes it NON Biodegradeable.
Degradable plastic exists, but this just becomes smaller plastic particles - which is what all the fuss is about with regard to ocean pollution.

IMO tape contravenes the "leave only footprints" rule of thumb. But then so does bolts & chalk.

Orange garbage bags cut into strips make good long lasting flagging tape. Ultimately its UV not biology that decomposes plastic.

It'll degrade but will not compost (bio) - the flecks of plastic will remain for a few centuries, no one really knows how long they will last.

Marky, he's being totally upfront with you. He honestly does like being a total dick.

It's compensation for looking like Leon Trotsky's stunt double. Minus the ice axe.
