CHOOSING A PLACE to SHIT:
- Hike out, a minimum of 200 feet, well away from any water sources, low lying stream beds, trails, or camp areas.
- Select an untraveled area. Under a tree, near downed timber, or on a slight sloped hillsides.
- Chhose a spot for maximum sunlight - for more rapid decomposing.
CRAPPING BASICS:
- Dig your cat hole. Meow! Bring a shovel out & dig a hole 6-8 inches deep.
In the desert, the cat hole should be only 4-6 inches deep. This will allow the heat and sun to hasten the decay process.
- Only bury your crap; Do not bury the toilet paper.
Animals can dig up paper or it can appear as litter down stream after a heavy storm. Burning toilet paper is not a good idea (fire safety)
- Use disposable wet wipes / baby wipes for proper hygiene. No butt itch!
- Bring a small brown paper bag to carry back toilet soiled papers.
- Dispose of remains in garbage bag or in campfire (after everyone has gone to bed)
REMINDERS: Solid human waste should be packed out from places, such as narrow river canyons & pristine(?) alpine lakes.
