even bushwhacking way back off of trails and roads, son of a bee otch if I don't find beer cans! It's like they're being sprinkled around the woods by aircraft, cripes. How hard is it to bring your trash with you, I mean, it's significantly lighter than when you brought it!

One day I will catch someone redhanded dumping trash in the forest, it will be a bad day for them.

There's a guy down the road from us that had people dumping their trash in his back 40 which butted up to the road and a nice convenient pull out, he put up a sign (that's still there after 2 years now!)

says "Dump trash here, and you will meet God!"

I ran into a guy just like you many, many years ago, when I was young, dumb, and in manure! Caught me throwing a coke can out the window, while driving up a mountain, on an old dirt road. When he finished with me I felt about 2" high! I picked up my trash, and learned a real life lesson. I will pass it on if I catch someone trashing the woods, or other public wilderness areas.
