yeah, the country life, it's just like that.......
maybe a bit
We got everything from 1 lane minimum maintenance roads through 2 lane class5 gravel & of course our undivided 2 lane highways with speed limits of up to 65mph; and that's F'd up because the only thing between you and oncoming traffic are some yellow lines, and then hopefully those 'rumble strips' that they cut into the shoulders & center lines to wake anyone who's drifting lanes.......what's your point or issues Absolem?

what's your point or issues Absolem?
I mentioned to a friend one time at college about going 2 tracking where I live and they had no clue what I was talking about.
Smoke one and relax.
ohhhh...
so that's what you were talking 'bout
driving, hiking, running or maybe hunting?
we hunt grouse along old forestry or logging roads, sometimes we do a little bird hunting along those class 5 gravel roads.
of course we prefer not to mix firearms & weed, but occasionally we're forced to 'smoke 'em out' while in the field.......

I got about 20 burn piles set up & ready to go. Not perfectly dry but with tarps to keep them drier.
I like to burn when it's WET - raining or snow on the ground.
In the fire-place, today I got a fire burning with a wet log for the biggest log. That is a first. I was sort of doing it as an experiment.

Excellent protocol!
I don't burn outside in the larger slash and trash wood pit unless the ground's saturated beyond the surface, or with snow and frozen.
When it's been dry into the summer for a while, and there's a couple hour down-pour, you can turn up the leaves or grass, and find DRY material just a 1/4" underneath; not wet at all, even after a couple hours. So it takes a while to get damp enough to feel confident about summer burns.
I've often burned my waste from the indoor garden efforts, as well as trash wood, in the larger burn pit, and try to do it only when the fire is hot enough, and wind still enough, for the plume to rise straight up, thus carrying no sparks toward the surrounding spruce, and no scent in any direction but up.
I can think of few more humbling experiences than having to apologize to people I don't talk to, many of whom I don't care for, for burning down their homes, let alone my own...
This area burned up pretty badly about 35-36 years ago from someone burning wood chips and not watching their efforts, doing it while dry out. numerous cabins or homesteads were lost in that one.
It was THAT fire that led the Alaska legislature way back then to make it a felony to start a fire (even accidentally) for which the cost of containment or losses combined surpassed value 'X'.
meanwhile, somewhere in the back country.......
