Do all rivers allow fire building w/firewood even if I have a firepan?
NO! Firewood gathering and burning is okay in Idaho. Green and Yampa rivers, yes, but only if you bring your own firewood, gathering firewood is prohibited at all times. Firewood (driftwood) gathering and burning is only allowed in the Grand Canyon Oct 1 through April 30 for warmth only. Charcoal firepan use is okay on all rivers. What do I need to make a 3-bucket dishwashing system? Any dishwashing soap (all biodegradable now), bleach, rubber gloves, sponge and scrubber, strainer, two metal buckets and one plastic bail bucket. Fill all buckets approximately two thirds full with river water. Heat the two metal buckets on the stove to a rolling boil. Add dishsoap to one metal bucket. Second metal bucket is hot rinse bucket (no soap). Add 1 capful of bleach to all buckets. Place buckets below or above the high water line depending on river environment. Place the buckets in order of use with the soap bucket upstream (consistency). Allow the soap washed and hot water rinsed dishes to soak
