As we find ourselves taking longer and longer boondocking trips, where to "put the garbage" until we return to civilization is becoming a bit of an issue. After a few days in the forests near the Grand Canyon, we had to air out the truck cab before we could get in, as we put our bagged (and tied, but not tagged) garbage up there to keep it out of the way.
Where does everybody put their trash until they can stash it in the roadside barrel? |

The rest I wait till the hours of darkness then stuff cans etc etc into my buds garbage can as he always has enough room to carry out both of our garbage.  But seriously, we always limit out cans to plastic (Reusable w/lids) or Styrofoam. It may-not be in accordance with the EPA, but then They ain't around when empties get tossed into the fire. Aluminum cans can be stuffed in an old cotton or potato sack and tied to the ladder. |

Put it on the roof. Tie it down when you put it up there so you don't forget when you break camp. Garbage is light, and it is about the only thing I have found works well to carry on the roof.

QUOTE(redrocker @ Oct 7 2010, 12:56 PM) Put in in the bathroom till you see a trash can that way you can wash the room next time you take a shower I just use a strong glad EXL bag for each type of trash ie tin in one, paper in the other et cetera. The bags sit on the ground just outside the door. In my camp on as long a leash as possible is my King Charles Spaniel. We have been in bear country in northern Saskatchewan and I have never had a problem. In my lifetime i've only had one situation with a bear while camping. The King Charles chased it away. Bears and other wildlife don't want to mess with this bred of dog. It isn't that this bred is fierce but it will chase anything that moves and annoy the he'll out of it. |
