From time to time, I correspond and chat with the author of the burn barrel country blog, which celebrates the rural freedom and often stinky practice of burning your household trash in a burn barrel. He says he doesn’t update his blog much anymore, because any time he posts something, one of the greenies is out there flaming him and threatening to report him as a polluter on his Oklahoma acreage.
We got chatting over the topic of freedom to do what you want on your own land, kind of came to a consensus that if you not harming your neighbors then so be it. Nobody is going to care if you burn things, if your not smoking out your neighbors, leaving them in a toxic haze, or starting wildfires. It’s like having a plinking in your backyard, riding four wheelers, raising smelly pigs or having horny buck goatsΒ — doesn’t really matter if you have enough land. Nobody is going to report you or even care, if you aren’t causing a nuisance on what you do in your back 40.
The Humboldt County Prescribed Burn Association is comprised of landowners, nonprofits, volunteer firefighters and other community members who work together to carry out prescribed burns on private land.
