Most people want to properly dispose of their waste, but they’re typically not prepared. Land managers can help users meet the moment.

    tl;dr: dig a hole or carry it around in a bag. Saved you a lot of words.

            If you get a hold of such a bag, one with a whole hole in its hold, whatever you do, don’t place a whole other bag of holing with a hole in it, inside it.

          Be careful which hole you do this with. Some are invasive and it can wreak havoc on your environment.

        Rookie mistake. You have to be sure to use the whole bag. Anything less won’t work.

          I pack gallon bags in my back-country camping kit so logistics may be a challenge. Could leave the tent and sleeping bag behind in order to fit a sufficient volume of fiber and make it work though. Thanks for the tip!

          There’s a lot of bad shit in our poop that isn’t in most wild animal shit.

          Particularly transmissible diseases for other humans.

            Also we’re visitors.

            At least in major watersheds the primary reason for picking up dog poop is because of the insane nitrogen content of the insane amounts of dog poop that’s generated. The environment isn’t ready for that influx.

            Potential disease vector is 2, then it’s icky gross is 3

              is there a general term for this? it’s something that applies basically whenever we humans do anything these days and yet barely anyone thinks about it, it’d be good to have a word to throw at people when telling them about it

          You are supposed to cover the hole with a relatively heavy rock to deter animals from digging it back up.

            He meant to tell animals not to shit less then 30m from the trail.

        Make sure to know which direction the trail is when walking 30 m away from it. People died following this rule. Well, I know of one person that died because of it.

          tbf 30m is an arbitrary distance, just go as far as you can reach without losing sight of the trail and maybe dig an extra deep hole instead.

      A folding shovel is a must have in a car! I have dug my car out of so much snow and mud! Also good for burring your poo or a dead hooker.
