Title: Re: Fireplace TP? Post by db on Sep 8th, 2014 at 6:02am
That cork idea (is room for a logo?) sounds pretty good on a rainy morning. Some rocks are not to be disturbed.
What would used TP dug out of the ground with claws look like? I'm guessing not like PJ's pic and quite frankly, I've seen that same configuration on a tent pad so be careful what you wish for. I'd prefer not to see someone else's TP anywhere but I'd much rather see it in the woods like that where all I had to do is take a stick and poke it in the duff. I don't want it in my freaken fireplace. It's not welcome tinder! Looks a lot like char cloth if undisturbed. I take pride in leaving a nice campsite for the next traveler but I've now totally stopped dealing with any TP that I don't have to. I don't know if this is a rule as of yet but it sure is dumb IMO. The only way I can justify it is the hope was people would rather poke it in the duff than share it with the group at breakfast. I was on a solo. I'd have a much harder time coming back and handing my TP to the chef saying here you go, I don't want to mess up your fire up. Burn it with the bacon grease or sumpting. I don't ever recall finding a recently used hole by accident. Personally, I'd rather disturb a little TP in the duff as a warning to look elsewhere if that area that looked promising and undesturbed - wasn't. I knew a girl, experienced in dryer locations… asked me if they should bring their TP back to burn at night since there was a fire ban … eeew. I told her to poke it. I know people do things I wouldn't and I trust her and ST to do it safely and to be able to discern the difference. I just couldn't see recommending it to others who think leaving it in the fireplace for others to burn is what the rules suggest. And yes I blamed women. Now, I take that back. I blame the group that left it and especially the name on the permit. I carry bacon grease to the next campsite even if fish isn't on the menu knowing I'll be drinking instant coffee.. On the plus side, I didn't mind picking/packing out other people's foil bits or chunks this year. ;) |
