Day 18

Well it finally happened. I broke down and used a plastic bag. To be fair, it was a ziploc bag that I have been using for well over a year now. And I rinsed it out, so it can be reused.

It was when I went out cross-country skiing in Kananaskis the other day (which I am battered and bruised all over from). I sat down and ate my fruit cup out on the trail and then I reached for my baggie to seal it up in.....but wait a minute.... I chose to use the baggie since my other options were to leave it on the trail or get sticky fruit juice all over my backpack. Neither seemed like viable options to me.

At any rate I guess I need to go buy a small dry-sac for my garbage. I can forsee that camping in the summer will be even more problematic for plastic baggage.

I finally went grocery shopping yesterday so my cupboards aren't so barren. We actually had a real dinner tonight! My old yogurt tubs worked pretty well for my bulk goods. Unfortunately, on the way home my peanuts exploded all over the inside of my grocery bag. Oh well, not the end of the world, just collected them up and put them back in the tub.
