Traces left behind by temporary shelters:

— campfire ashes from cooking, creating warmth and light
— hooks (when climbing) or holes (when spiking down a tent)
— tracks from walking through terrain

Traces recognised in shelter turned into dwelling:

— travel back and forth creating roads
— cutting trees to create a clearing for permanent structures
— redirection of waterways through building dams

Process is more important than outcome. When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we’ve already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going, but we will know we want to be there.
