Playa buggers and toothpaste

Post by geospyder » Tue Aug 25, 2009 12:41 pm

Normally while camping I brush my teeth and use saline solution to clear the hiking dust from my nose - over the camp fire. Where/what do you Burners do since there are no campfires on the Playa? If I were in an RV or trailer, no problem, but I'll be in a tent. Maybe buy an old spittoon :lol:

You must save your nasal effluent until you arrive at the nearest populated city with a Snot Recycling Station.

BOOGERS. I just got it. As opposed to

Cuz I was all, I'm pretty sure buggery is OK on the playa - just not in public.

As for toothpaste....spit into a water bottle, I reckon.

toothpaste? I swallow. Don't see why not.

Nose saline? Instead of saline I put a little vinegar solution in my nose (to cut the alkali) and then some skin lotion.

Playa boogers? Are solid waste. If you do use saline you probably want to treat the result as solid waste.
