Yeah, relatively clean. Not much mud and crap where I live now. Mostly just dust

HA!!
Z beat me to it. My boots are dirtier than that after a couple nights in the field with him several weeks ago.

Thats my boots about 10 minutes into my work day on a typical job. Working in the rain/snow does keep them clean, but I have to oil them more.

There are some areas that are designated ranges around here. Then there are tons of places where you can just get out of the car and shoot, as long as you can get to them. This one is not very far off the highway and any car can reach it, therefore the mini garbage dump.

Others are miles away into the desert via 4WD and they are pretty pristine so for those I have a big tarp I lay down to collect the brass and I leave them cleaner than I found them

This particular pair of boots are pretty new. I have some older ones that have a lot more mileage and are nicely broken in.

It really is nice out there. A bit dry, but nice

Shooting out in BFE is something I've always had conflicted feelings about, specifically because leaving the place a mess doesn't represent our sport well to outsiders. Good on you for being a good steward of public land!

…

Even .22 cases get picked up since we’re playing with the idea of experimenting with making them into .223 bullets.

Nice!!!!! Good read

Sounds like a great time.

Thanks! It’s a family thing… when I go hiking with my granddaughter I usually come back with a backpack full of other people’s trash. That freaking kid can smell an empty can 20 feet inside a hole

This particular place is a mini “dump” anlready and even here I try to collect not just my empties but a relatively large amount of other folks cases and empty hulls. Some for reloading, most to just trash…
