What do you all think? >> >>Brian. on our over nighters, we usually use a "burn can" for the tp. nothing more than a coffee can with a lot of holes punched in it to let in lots of air, so you can burn it in a contained area. and as a side note, you have to be careful, as you ppoint out, the fire danger. i'm on the local fire dept, and we had to respond to a tree fire recently... it was [assumed] to be the result of a spark, lofting up to a knothole in the tree, and smoldering. we pumped 2,000 gallons into the tree [2 fire trucks worth], and thought it was out. the owner hooked up 2 garden hoses and ran them into two different holes, to ensure it wouldn't re-light. these folks are not clueless either, as one of them is also on the fire dept. the tree re-lit two days later... you can't be careful enough. mark #------canoeist[at]netbox[dot]com----http://www.diac.com/~zen/mark----- # mark zen o, o__ o_/| o_. po box 474 </ [\/ [\_| [\_\ ft. lupton, co 80621-0474 (`-/-------/----') (`----|-------\-') #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~ http://www.diac.com/~zen/paddler [index to club websites i administer] Rocky Mtn Sea Kayak Club, Colorado River Flows, Poudre Paddlers The Colorado Paddlers' Resource, Rocky Mtn Canoe Club Trip Page -- Know what I hate most?
