Dude I think we are experiencing the revival of this forum in real time! This is such a dope way to share trash pickups. I think this might be considered fine art

Are these all single trips? Do you bring a separate backpack just for the trash?

Each photo was a separate day hike with just my trusty Osprey Manta 36 stuffing the non-zip pouches with trash throughout the hike. If I forget my bear spray, that frees up an additional mesh side pocket. The only one I had trouble with was Waterman with the tent poles as they weighed 9lbs alone. I ended up carrying the poles and the white lid in my hands about a mile back to my car. Luckily most large or heavy trash is usually in close proximity to trailheads so not toting too much extra weight throughout the day except glass bottles.

These are just the big hauls and only in the past year. I started hiking over a decade ago and would always pick up some water bottles, chip bags, and balloons. I once returned with a trash bag to the off-trail canyons around Devils Punchbowl (see below) because there was so much crap in them.

This was from PCT and Three Points TH area. It took me a couple trips back to the car.
