The items listed weren't necessarily waste, pans and tires and part bikes and barrels and recyclables he may have collected to turn in for coin... He may have cleaned up other areas in order to collect some of the stuff he had at his site, we don't know.

The people who clear campsites just estimate weight of all they remove and label it all 'trash that they cleared'... But it's never is.

That's like calling all the plants in my yard weeds, just cause you don't like them.

My SO and I fill a 30L trash bag every two weeks, and our recycling is usually filled faster as there's so much paper/cardboard packaging on everything, plus we favor food stuff sold in recycable containers.

Our recycling basically goes out every week, as the two bins are smaller than our trash can, but our trash can usually goes out less and with one or two bags in it... We'd wait, but it's hot outside and we don't want to leave it there boiling and rotting for weeks.

Actually, a lot of that sounds pretty practical.

The barrels would work as slow burn barrels for long term heat on cold nights, the bike parts could be a source of income (part bikes > full bikes to sell), more than 2 pans seems too many, but he may go through them fast if used over an open fire (depending on the type of pan), for millennia campers kept fires buring over night or for days to make cooking later easier (yes it's risky in some situations, but practical in general), and covering his car would ensure it looked cleaner and required lower maintenance (both have a lot of perks for a homeless person trying to live cheaply and fly under the radar). I'm not sure about the tires, but keeping cans and some other materials can def provide a source of income.

Nothing is ever really disposable, except the abusive people in your life. We could all benefit from less of those. Everything else is reusable or recyclable. Just listing this guys possessions without explanations for them makes them easy to dismiss as trash, but that isn't necessarily even close to honest. He likely had some actual waste on site from food prep or completed projects, but by no means was all his stuff trash.

Just give them sensibly labels and tags when making them so they are findable and usable. Don't fret over organization beyond that, it won't improve your quality of life, go for a walk or something instead.

Well, I grew up with knowledge of cable pirating in apartment complexes, VHS recording of retals to share or rewatch or watch later, and tape and CD sharing and mixing...

So as far as Im aware pirating was always a easy, viable, and economically savvy choice.

I did explore Netflix for a brief time 15 years ago, but the quality of their service degraded heavily, and I still pirated alongside my Netflix membership, as their content was always limited. And I shared my member ship with others, then later occasionally used a membership that was shared with me, until Netflix broke that system.

If I get attacked by mosquitoes, even just a few bites, I spray down the whole yard and house siding, and then put out traps.

Figure I kill many for each bite I receive.

That reminds me, I have a zapper and a bat house to install.

Mosquitos messes with the wrong ombre.
