Trash storage

[TeriAnn]

in this thread i mentioned burning the trash. seems everyone has their own opionion about that and no two are quite the same. in the past we have burned everything that would burn. that includes steel, glass, and aluminum. never had any sign of it left in the morning. some will argue that it releases bad gasses into the air. this may be true. some would argue there is less stuff to be burried in a landfill, this also may be true. like i said lots of opionions.

My opinion is that I have picked up way too much trash out of other people's dead campfires that they have left behind.

Sure everyone thinks their campfire will vaporize steel and ?? with glass. I often times don't use camp sites just because I hate dealing with other people's trash and I'm pathologically incapable of leaving other people's trash behind.

Please, pack out EVERYTHING you do not consume. Don't leave it in a fire pit for others to pack out.

I like to pack things in reusable containers then use as much paper as possible, plates, paper towels ect. Burn the paper and take the rest with you. I found these on sierra trading post and was thinking of getting a few. They are made for dog food but could have other uses, one being trash. Collapsible and water resistant, 20 or 40 gallon sizes.

Friend of mine uses car air bags (steering wheel/dash - not suspension) for his trash bag. Made of woven kevlar, so it takes a lot to hurt on. Don't deal with liquids very well on their own, but a normal trash bag as a liner solves that. Best of, in his line of work they're free!
