What is the best way to dispose of burning matches and tobacco in the forest?

Break your match in two and hold it in your hand until you are sure it is out. Put the burned end back in the box or in your pocket. Cigarettes and cigars should be put out by wetting the end with saliva, throwing them in water, or clearing a spot of inflammable material down to mineral soil, and grinding the fire out with the foot. Pipe heels, which are a particularly dangerous source of forest fire, should be ground out in mineral soil. Mechanical lighters for the pocket and ash containers for automobiles are recommended for all persons who travel in forests. It is well to refrain from smoking when the woods are dry.
