Where do you draw the line.

[MARCUSO]

For littering in the back country??

I would hate to see Beer, pop cans, candy wrappers, oil cans...hoods, sled parts in general... How about apple cores?

I know some can not be avoided, because of deep snow,say a rollover... but some can!

"those cigarette butts float well down the creeks"..


Not a good thing to see...


Short note.

Take it all with you. Pack it in, Pack it out.

thats why every group should have a sled with a trunk aka the garbage truck

 

[Aldrich]

ahh man, so does this mean i have to pack out my dirty toilet paper ?

 

[MJay]

Ive told a friend about throwing his cigarette pack wrapper on the ground. He shrugs it off but I keep at him. Now he stuffs it in his pocket just so he doesnt have to listen to me.

I never leave anything behind, with the only exception being toilet paper.

 

[SAWYER]

apple cores? Those are natural, and propably make some animal happy that you left it

 

[Ollie]

We ride with a guy that smokes.
He carries a little container that he puts all his cigarette butts in.
We leave nothing behind (except toilet paper, but hey, it biodegrades).

I found a hood a couple years ago. Got left at the bottom of a hill. Wasn't hard to find, shoot, it was just sitting there.
We took it out.
The fun part was, the hood still had the wyoming sticker on it. So I gave it to the ranger. Hope he wrote the moron a nice big ticket for littering.
There is no excuse for not taking it out with you.

lmao. just like the morons who dump along our dirt roads. a lot of the time if you look you can find something with their address on it.

hope he did get a ticket.

 

[Yamamauler]

I am relentles if I see anyone littering, no call for that crap at all.
I carry a couple of smll garbage bags in my backpack for picking up garbage on the hill and trail, it sucks to have to pick up someone elses trash but I would rather do that than have to see it again.

Wife and I clean up every spring almost half a pickup load of trash from the forest roads. What a load of sh!t. And people wonder why so many areas are being closed every year. Duh. Also these idiots give ALL snowmobilers a bad name. If you have room to haul it in, chances are you DO have the room to haul it out.

 

[alrevedup]

These are the right attitudes. We all must do our part.
For the animals, our children and ourselves.
We need not give the tree huggers VALID reasons to say. "look what they are doing" There is room for all of us if we do our part.

Well done

While riding in alpine in the grays river area we ran into some guys we knew and ended up riding with them. When we were going to head back to the truck, they said they were going to stay and light a fire to cook some food they brought. The next morning we left without them and found their fire pit. They had lit an entire tree on fire and left at least a dozen beer cans and empty water and gatorade bottles. We cleaned up the area and continued to ride. Had we ran into them they would have gotten an ear full for sure. Sad thing is one was a fireman. For some reason I hold firemen and cops to a higher standard. Nedless to say we won't be riding with those azzholes again

If you brought it in, you can sure bring it out.

I have always wondered why people do it. Seems pretty stupid in this day and age and plus how hard is it to throw away in it's proper place when time permits?

I have busted a windshield of an edge chassis sled before and those you can simply roll up, tie down or tuck it in somewhere and throw it away when there is a proper spot. How many of us have seen the occasional windshield or belt stuck in a tree or on a post somewhere?

 

[Rob1334]

Agreed man, I too hold firemen and police to a higher standard for their ethics, mostly cause I am a rangeland firefighter. I take a lot of pride in my forests in trying to protect them from damage, and the litter thing is an easy one we can control. I think it is crap some of the people who come a long ways to litter in someone elses backyard, one can't be appreciative of these areas for the beauty they hold until we lose them.

mcgriddles?

why would you want to give the birds high cholesteral and diarrhea?

 

[SnowBigDeal]

Pack it in, Pack it out.

I still don't understand how some people can pack in a full can of beer/soda and can't pack it out empty

used toilet paper, apple cores, banana peels. I don't have a problem with people leaving those in the hills, but also understand those who want to pack it out.

Well heck, you're part of the problem. If you'd just let those fires burn, the trash would get burned up.

Litterbug, litterbug shame on you! Wasn't that a PSA about 30 years ago?

I'm right with ya on this. if it gets eaten or biodegrades, it's fine to leave. What I don't get is on our bike trails I go out and do work while Horse folks are out riding(we get 2 weekends a year for bikes) I will see those horse riders pull a can of Bud outta the saddle back. then 10 yards down the trail is a fresh empty Bud can. Makes no damned sense to me.
