Packing Out Your Poo
    #10538430 - 06/19/09 05:24 PM (14 years, 7 months ago)

Who does it?    I just cant get myself to do it.

Ill often try to make up for it by packing out trash that I find along the way.  But no way am I putting poo in my pack.

Its called leave no trace. I hate hiking along and then running into someones poo. If taking your poo with you bothers you then camp next to an outhouse. Leave the wilderness for people who take care of it.

Why pack out poo when you can dig a loo?

Ooooh I dig, nobody ever sees my poo but some places say no digging, you got to pack it out.  That's just gross.

If an animal can do it, so can i - thats my perspective.

I do not thinking shitting a hundred or so feet off trail is bad etiquette or "not taking care of nature."

I don't see te point in packing out your own poo as both the tissue and your shit are biodegradable and after breakdown end up as fertilizer just like animal dung, in addition to that, bury your poop at least 12", it's not that hard to bring a hand held backpacking shovel with you.

My own property borders national forest, so I spend a LOT of time in the wilderness.  I'd never poop on, or next to the trail.  However, packing your poop out is best saved for the high elevation climbs on glaciers where you can't really dig a hole and your mess will be there forever.  If you're at low elevation, dig a hole and bury it.  We're animals and no different from all the rest who crap on the open ground and move on. 

I can see it becoming a real problem in highly populated parks, so if you're in Shasta, Yellowstone, or similar, it's probably a good idea to carry some ziplock bags and pack it out.  If you're in the middle of BFE, don't worry about it.

A worse problem is your dogs, if they have worms.  The eggs will be in their piles and the wild animals will catch and spread them.  Make sure your dogs are healthy before taking them hiking.

I've never packed out poo before.  Just don't poop right on the trail and bury it if you have the time.  Fecal matter decomposes pretty quickly in most temperate environments, so I don't really think it's a big deal at all.

Vise Versa on that one. 80% or raccoons have a certain type of worm/parasite that if a human catches it you will most likely die. But not before they eat the muscles attached to your eye causing you to go blind.

Digging a hole, and filling the hole in afterwards will help the manure decompose at a faster rate, and keep people from stepping on it or smelling it, which is never fun at all. :projectile:

Shitting in the forest improves the forest.

Duh.

If you pack out your own shit you hate nature, it's that simple.

Not in certain areas, in the Virgin River Narrows
and Paria River Narrows there are so many people
that visit these areas and so little proper places to
dig a cat hole that the National Park Service and
Buearau of Land Management give you shit kits to
use while in the canyon.

This kit is called Restop 2 and is basically two ziplock
bags some TP and a baby wipe. Link found here

another question for ya folks is who all has had to throw
out a groover bag?  I've seen it take two people to
get one in the dumpster before.

It helps dry it out, kill the smell, and I believe it aids in decomposition.

Haven't you guys ever read How to Shit in the woods?

I poop a lot, and use the "Frosting a Rock" method.

Shit on a large exposed rock. Spread your poo around on top of the rock with a stick, like a stanky birthday cake.

Poo dries fast, and flakes away into the breeze.

I believe "Leave no trace" guidelines say don't poo or pee within 100 yards of water, dig at least a 6" hole for your poo, and pack out your TP.

The reason for packing out the TP is that lots of critters like to dig up your poo and eat it, and the TP will get scattered around and make a mess that stands out in the woods. The poo that gets dug up stands out less.

So poo all you want, just in a hole and away from the water. And pack out your TP.

I believe shitting next to the camp fire is the worst possible thing you can do while camping.
