I like the scrounge and bring to the backyard idea. I have my eye on some birch trees down in the neighborhood ....
But what I am trying to think through is best practices in the preverved wilds of our park systems. I suppose you should:
use dead material
scatter the stuff after you use it
dirty up cut marks before scattering to avoid attention
keep to undeveloped, low traffic areas where camping is permitted
What other guidelines suggest themselves to you?
Thanks.
