    I always hike mine out, after all, I had the room to bring it in. I often find myself carrying other people's trash they leave to the closest trash can. I haven't burried anyone elses poop yet.

    I only pick up stray wrappers, etc. on the trail itself. I don't pick up after slobs at shelters. Shelters are dumps.

    I always pack out my trash. And try to lug out the trash of those too stupid to do it themselves! I have limited space, but carry what I can.

    Default packin' da trash..

    i pack out ALL my own trash & pick up papers, wrappers, etc.,etc along the trail as i hike.

    i try to tidy shelters too if there are recepticles &/or if i have enuff room in my trash bag....(i carry 2 small trash bags)

    i think we should all make more of a conscience effort to keep the trail clean!





    see ya'll UP the trail in 2004!
