Thanks for focusing on the trash problem. We live in the eastern Sierra and had a big cleanup event at the end of the summer. Several of us together picked up over 100 lbs of trash just around one of the lakes that was super popular this year for dispersed camping. If it weren't for all the volunteers, both individual and organized efforts, I can't imagine what our lands would look like.
LOVE the "pick up as you go" theme. I do the same. My trash haul out from others, is twice as much as my own. Benefits as you noted.....seeing a little more of an area, making cool finds, and as I like to call them "road scores" ! You'd be surprised how often the litter bugs can't keep track of their own stuff...... and they leave you a little "keeper" now and then. And litter horror stories from the "monolith" are surfacing....ugh. With my Ram & pop-up I can usually take out a big haul, my Jeep gets tight with others trash, and as you mention, amazing how much people do litter in the back country. Sad sad sad. My trash-a-roo is about wore out. One day hoping for that new Project M, but my old "other brand" is still hanging in there. Really want that light weight as I get pretty far out there quite a bit. Hey Hey to Tom H. & Chris J. from Jim M. (from Colorado.... got whiskey? ) Did some TCM stuff with them at OX a couple times. I'll certainly share this on my outdoor fb page to carry this message along.....again. Happy Holidays and a great 21 to you all. Jim

You guys are living my dream. I wish I could get sponsors to help my dream come true for me ;)
I guess I am pretty off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online?
