I stopped a long time ago. Just too much waste thrown out. Too much plastic is created to wrap food products, etc with. Needs to be stopped now. Find alternative ways .

I have a number of cases in my "survival" stash . . .

Ben Hargis

Using a hydro flask or sports bottle over and over again is like wearing a mask, they're full of bacteria.

Gabe West

That's why you put it in the dishwasher

Rick Allen

No I have not but I do not litter and deplore those who do liter!

Kimmy Wasatch

We use them, clean them and take to recycle, never put in trash.

How is this a Yes or No question? Does Yes mean more likely, and No less likely? Or does Yes simply mean, yes it affects me somehow?

Your question really needs to address wilderness camping as that activity impacts greatly the wilderness landscape. Day, permits, visits are far less destructive to the Three Sisters Wilderness and easier to obtain.

Your already paying for high gas prices to get there

Steven Daniels

"Your" already paying? Did you think the price of gas included admission to wherever "you're" going? How about Disneyland? "Your" already paying for the gas to go there so it should be free, right? Maybe if you fly they should pay you?

Just one more thing you have to pay for

Duane Wyman

It is enforced to preserve the overall wilderness experience to benefit all who recreate and obtain a wild connection to Nature.

Dude, try to hike the Wonderland Trail at MRNP. It is a lottery for dates - good luck.

The bums are camping in or near the canal by Brookswood. COID is good about expelling them quickly but the trash blows all over the place. People used to walk this trail all the time. Now I see the vagrants smoking crack/meth. My neighborhood that borders this is full of families.
