Hey folks,

Don't want to belabor this point but thought I'd chip in again. Living in the northeast for a stint and backpacking the Appalachians, the common practice and understanding was that one dug the hole, did their business, and then pulled out a lighter to burn off the TP. Cover with moss or douse first with water from an H20 bottle then cover, tamp down and forget about it. Maybe that's not the expectation or practice here, but I still do this...maybe more out of habit. Just thought I'd add 2 cents.


For as many people who pack that route, if that method was causing fires or not easily done, I doubt it would be the "common practice/understanding".
