  This is standard practice here in SE Alaska, but I'm not sure that it is
still an accepted practice along our more populated coasts.  There was a
thread here a while ago regarding the use of "groovers" and other portable,
sealable units used to pack waste.  These are required on many of our larger
western rivers and should be available from a number of outfitters.
