I'm not your mother....

[ferniesnow]

From the staging area up the main trail for 2 km's I collected this today. The staging area was clean as someone else had been "the mother". So for 2 km's along the trail this was collected....I know it isn't all from sledders but the majority has to be. If it was the tree huggers that cleaned this up you can imagine the bad press we as sledders would be subject too!

We gotta start cleaning up our image guys and gals; quite simply, pack out what you pack in!!! The back-country shouldn't be anyone's garbage pit....

what I don't understand is. room enough to bring it in but once it's empty no room to haul it back. WTF???

No wonder these people are brain dead..look at what they're drinkin' :d
Good on you ferniesnow.

 

[ttpowersports]

pack it int pack it out....not a tough concept guys....this could be the straw that breaks the camels backs with our back country access or closing good sledding areas....... Think of the others.........

what i want to know doug is how many of those were full when you found em

I know this isnt any excuse but a lot of it comes from open seat trunks and unzipped backpacks.

Now when you hit the bottle depot you will get a quarter tank of fuel for the sled.I know i picked up a few myself when i was on my 4 day ride last week.People just don't give a crap...... It Fry's my brain when people do crap like that.

Thanks for picking up after the losers.

good to see that someone still cleans up after the pigs of the world.

Good on you ferniesnow, I want to extend a vitual handshake and thank you and to anybody else who does the same.

Good on you for bringing this up Doug. Not to start a $hit storm, but what is equally as disturbing are those who feel they must drink while riding. To me there is no place for this in our sport. Leave it for the trailer if you're not driving, or for when you get home.

Now why would you ask that? None of them were full so.....

[DaveB]

Looking at the cans....I mostly see a lot of Yank beer there....hmmmm? Visitors to our land disrespectin'? Anyways...good on ya dude. I picked up a bunch of cans on the quad trails last weekend too....left over the winter likely.

I don't know if you've tried drinking and driving ...... its really tough! Helmets in the way, balaclava, not to mention I have a hard time seeing where I'm going with my head tilted up like that! lol

That said there is nothing wrong with a couple of refreshments while enjoying a nice ride as long as you are within your limits. And absolutely pack out what you pack in!! Thanks for cleaning up guys! :d

As papa and mother bear would say....definitely visitors!!!!

 

[Stg2Suby]

Unfortunately it's just how 'yer brought up... That being said it still sets a good example to take the time and pick up stuff left behind, as most on this site probably do. And a lot of trail litter is unintentional as stated above, flying of of open pouches or bags. Kinda like when I littered my GPS out my unzipped handlebar bag recently

 

[sledderdoc]

Yup now that I picked up the Rhino I have more room than just the quad. I'll be carrying a garbage bag around now. :d

Different conversation beat to death in multiple other threads..... Just sayin

You worry about your pop cans...I'll worry about my beer cans & cigarette butts......
