I'm a little late to the party here but interest in convo. My lady and I just realized TrashARoo's aren't just jeep backpacks so I thought I'd research them more which brought me here. We disperse camp/overland in our beloved Tiger RV. We currently use a Camco wall mounted RV trash can inside. It works perfect with free grocery store bags ya get. The lid can be annoying but can be propped open, the unit is wall mounted and lifts off from the bottom for easy bag changes. We have a crew cab so accumulated bags usually go on the floor there. Typically we are touching civilization or dump station every 7-8 days so the trash is usually ripe then.
The idea of trasharoo and outdoor trash storage is appealing, no one wants to be in confined space with aging trash but at the same time I'm not sure how wildlife safe these options are? I like the idea but is the general idea of storing trash outdoor when it can be stored indoors a bad idea? I know it's feet away indoors but seems like a bigger chance for encounters stored outdoors.
RE: Trash burning and breaking fire ban to do it.
I believe one of the largest Colorado historical wildfires (before 2020) was started by ranger burning a old love letter in a firepit, the Hayman fire I believe. So burning just a little trash can be a risk I believe burn bans should never be broken unless the fire is matter of your life like hypothermia, signal fire, etc. Campers breaking burn bans leads to camping being banned. In our area of Colorado much of the hoohah complaints of dispersed camping have to do with fires during bans and campsites turned into homeless encampments. Act in the best interest of your hobby overall to protect it.
