Trash in camp sights!!!!!

[Montana Mike]

This is one of my hot buttons. Why do folks trash camp sites, what they think they'll never come back to it??  Do they really want to arrive looking at garbage themselves?  I just don't get it, particularly the ones that cr*p right in the middle of their own campsite, I mean really...

And yep, have also packed our share of garbage out.

Yeah, burns me up too. So much so, in fact, that I devoted a whole chapter to it in a book I wrote titled Flyfisher's Guide to Northwest Montana's Mountain Lakes which will be released next month by Wilderness Adventures Press. The title of the chapter is "Backcountry Behavior." One of the things that particularly bothers me is when someone discards an empty plastic water bottle. The thing can't weigh more than an ounce. They packed it in full; why can't they pack it out empty? A quote from the chapter: "Our true character is demonstrated by what we do when no one is looking. If I waste game, keep over my limit, or leave trash in my wake, I show that I’m not a saint, but a slob."
