Don't Burn Your Toilet Paper

[TaperPin]

That’s schitty

You all and this generation is so weak...carrying TP in the backcountry you are surrounded by sticks and leaves....i thought this was rokslide and every ounce counted...

More rules is always the answer.


How about use some common frigging sense.

If that worked we wouldn’t need many laws on the books at all eh? Wouldn’t that be great?

I don't find it terribly difficult to dig a 6-8" hole with the heel of your boot...

 

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

Why are folks burning TP vs putting it in the hole? Or are these folks surface shitters?

You’re absolutely correct.

In 2022, a homeless guy from Louisiana started a fire here up on the San Francisco Peaks because he thought it was a good idea to burn his TP…..during a Red Flag day with 65mph gusts!

They could not have been too granola. I spent a summer in college doing back country fisheries work in Yosemite… my partner never carried tp. SHE just used rocks. That is the true granola way!

Id rather see it on the ground than see a fire. Maybe we should tell people to use the 3S rule.

Shit shovel shutup

No, we don’t need further rules and restrictions. This would be a great opportunity to run an ad campaign or social media campaign about how hunters conserve, while in the mean time you have non-hunter hikers starting fires because they can’t wipe their own butts without burning the place down. Would be a hilarious - and pointed - ad campaign.

It was common practice in the 80s-90s among the LNT/equivalent followers.
Seems to have died out as a practice judging by the shit covered toilet paoer you find just sitting around on the ground every half mile on poopular trails.
