Leave it to the socially deviously responsible folks of the OutdoorFest to figure out how to get people to go pick up their stuff in a timely manner.
Over on Patreon, I told a couple of anecdotes about how my friends (and I- I’m not blameless) have made wildly stupid attempts to burn up unwanted camping gear. In the campfire. Which doesn’t really get hot enough to burn up an old broken styrofoam cooler and an old sleeping bag.
Here, I’ll just point out that Dusty and Durnell’s TV production companies did NOT want to pony up the bucks it’d cost for cleanup, and did what any responsible company would do. Got local government to pony up. Not to worry. Probably came out of the ‘Tourism and Travel” and “Media Encouragement” budgets.
Rule 1 of rich people: “Never use your own money.”
Rule 2: “Make the dupes do the work for you, and be happy about it.”
Rule 3: “Never compete in Games when you can own the game.”
You speak with what sounds like knowledge, Curtis. hehe
I study from a far. That is, I am far from being rich. [Sob]
We’re rich in friendship. I just I was rich like Greg.
Goes back to the old joke.
How do you get fifty Germans out of a pool in five minutes?
Tell them the pool is closing in ten minutes.
They should pick up without being asked or bribed.
Leave only footprints. Take only pictures.
The motto of a true outdoors person.
Unlike this guy, then…

“This mess is a place!” … LOL. Good one.
That is the golden rule of camping, pick up and cart your own mess.
Dang, still want the water and soda bottle floating event… one good last chance to get everybody involved…
