An interesting debate (as are most debates where each side thinks they are right).

I am very much inclined to burn any trash and/or leftovers in a nice hot fire. The thought never occurred to me that I might be wrong. (It's still not occurring to me  ;D ). But I might be! I mean, who really knows.

The thing I do know is that a bears nose is a true marvel. Burn your leftovers and that nose will likely tell him it's not food any longer. Try and bury it.....well, that's REALLY asking for trouble. You can carry it with you, chuck it in the lake, or just leave it after you break camp.

The last three options are not really options at all, are they? That pretty much leaves burning. UNLESS, of course, there is a fire ban.......now things get interesting don't they? Did you think ahead?
