Moonshine?

[Tijeras_Slim]

In rural places where wildfire isn’t a real danger, locals burn trash. My family used a burn barrel though.

[maddog55]

Trash....happens all the time.

[BradyLS]

My guess: raking yards and burning leaves.

[cyclotic]

Just burning trash or yard waste. Or making moonshine for medicinal purposes.

When you move to an area it’s a good idea to learn about the area before you love it

I live near an Army test facility. We knew moving in that the sound of freedom includes lots of large and small house rattling explosions.

I know of some Karen’s who complain about that.

[j.havenfarm]

I don’t know what’s going on there, but believe it or not here in the foothills of the Sierra when i owned a home on acreage, burn season, from about October to April depending on the weather was a special time. Big burn piles are fun, simple as that

[Red Badger]

It’s a Southern thang, you wouldn’t understand.............

[Alberta's Child]

I live in the shadow of the Appalachians. They burn trash in many of these rural areas that have no municipal garbage collection.

And many farmers around here burn brush after clearing it from their land.

[Jonty30]

There is some spiritualism in the Appalachians.
But it’s at least as much do to that people still roast their foods on spits in this part of the country.

[MomwithHope]

You build a backyard campfire so you can sit around it and enjoy it.

[bigbob]

Because it’s there.

[who knows what evil?]

They have been burning Helene debris for months. In fact, they found another dead Helene victim in a debris pile two days ago,

[elihuspeaks]

You’re right It’s so unnatural. We are all brewing moonshine or looking for oil so we can move to Beverly Hills. You should probably return home before we decide you have a purty mouth. We southerners are so wild.

[jcwky]

I am from SE KY (Appalachian Mountain area) and yea, it’s either burning trash or this time of year, we’d always burn off all the brush from the garden from the previous year to get ready for planting. Or .. cooking Meth

[libertylover]

They burn trash rather than pay for a garbage pickup service.

[reasonisfaith]

They don’t burn fires as much as you make it seem.

[PAR35]

Food scraps go into compost. Trash goes into a trash burner. Or dumped in a ditch. No municipal garbage service in the hollers. Some counties will station dumpsters at locations where folks can haul their trash. That brings other problems.

Maybe you should consider moving some place like Baltimore or New York City or Chicago.

Folks in rural areas don’t take kindly to city folk who move in and want to raise taxes to support city services.

[McGavin999]

Ask one of your neighbors.

[Repeal The 17th]

Yes, I have a fire pit.
Neighbors and friends gather around the fire
and drink various adult beverages
and discuss nuclear physics and solve world problems.

[LambSlave]

Burning trash. No trash service in some areas, no $$ for it where there is.
