Isn't that the truth of it? During lockdown I started noticing a heck of a lot of trash strewn all over the countryside where I walk with my two border collies. So as well as packing out the dog poo bags (army surplus 58 pattern gas mask bag, if you're wondering) I've packed out some stuff, including enough flipping empty soft drink cans to carve out a corner of the non ferrous materials reclamation market. Just my little joke there. At least I get to let off some rage at the litter bugs by stamping the cans flat so i can cram them into the load out. It's a way of paying nature back for all the good times I've had in the outdoors I guess.
Well done for caring and doing your bit. it shouldn't be down to you to do all the work. It seems that people are less educated/selfish regarding the outdoors these days. I've even seen it on tops where only hillwalkers go. They seem to think that banana peel will decompose rapidly or a bottle stuffed in a cairn is ok to leave. They carried it up there full. It is less weight carrying it down. Sorry, it really is a pet hate of mine. I grew up with a cross Collie. Born a few weeks before me and passed away 16 years later. She was a tough wee dog. Currently have a cross terrier and poop bags on subscription.
@@Thedagda801 I like it as it is an easy way to use bin liners without ripping them. It will also double as a normal dry bag. It is expensive if you look at it as a trash bag but normal for a branded dry bag with the attachment points etc. I do like sea to summit. They often think out of the box.
Some of the worst I have seen have been organised events. There was a trail of gel sachets all along the route. I picked up dozens of them .I am always carrying other people's rubbish.
@@DubberDabbles I often come across orienteering and fell running markers/ribbons. You'd think people who are regular users of the outdoors would respect it but many don't. They rely on other people, like yourself, to pick it up. Thanks for caring and picking it up.
@@lifesahobby Ongoing thanks. Doing physio for the wrist and hand. Neck still restricted and still on the stroke meds. Will have to return to work this month as 6 months are up. Hopefully will be able to go walking next year.

Well done for caring enough to go to that much effort.
That sea to summit bag looks a great idea!

@@BrokenBackMountains yeah I’m a fan of their kit!
