Never boring

Sorry, it's the UCO Flatpack Portable Stainless Steel Grill and Fire Pit. Amazon. $40.

This one Jim:

Yeah, I agree.. dragging a 15mpg 4Runner out into the wild isn't being a conservationist. Not sure who said it, but the quote is "we are a destructive species, and if you love nature, stay away from it". It might have been Henry David Thoreau.. after he accidentally burned 300 acres of...

My daughter lives in Ohio. Kinda over the state bashing. This isn't about what is allowed or disallowed. It's about how you treat the wild places that we all treasure.

That is an excellent point.

I had that same conversation with a buddy.. he goes out more than anyone in my circle of friends. He said that he never has one anymore. The wood and other gear takes up too much in his rig. Now he looks at the stars.

The one I posted folds down to about the size of a laptop computer... and it burns the ashes down to almost nothing. I just up-end it into my trash bag and done. I pack my trash out in the same canvas bag I use for firewood, strapped into my roof basket.

This is the one I use. It's small, and it also burns the wood down to almost nothing. I find that I only need to pack in about 1/3 of the wood I used to pack.. so that's a win, too. On the trip in the photo, there was an established fire ring already there - in an area where on the ground fires...

Probably at the Rockies, but same, I don't know.

This isn't a thread about what is allowed or what is not allowed. If everyone did what they were "allowed" to do to the fullest extent, there would be no wild areas left. This is about respecting the places we value. About 80% of the time I'm out there, I build a fire.. in a metal container...

Here in Southern California, many of the places I go adventuring require metal fire pits. It's really gotten me thinking. In the spirit of Tread Lightly, I'm finding myself more and more against building fires on the ground... even in an established, old fire ring. I also pack out my ashes. I...

Bath day..

The weather in SoCal is perfect today.

I miss it

Panorama taken here: 38°27'03.0"N 109°49'11.0"W This was the first time I traveled that road.. the second was in the snow and rain. Both times - really damned fun.

Second on Shafer Trail. You can go from Canyonlands all the way back to town via the Potash road. Really fun, and for part of the time you are following the river.

I can imagine you sitting on that box in the roof rack, fishing.

Score!
