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

Will someone tell the animals ?

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

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.

I’ve tried carrying a hole around in a bag but the darn thing always seems to get lost when it comes time to use it.

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.

DO NOT use a bag of holding for this, you will regret it.

Yeah, you gotta get the bag of holeding instead

The thought of turning a bag of holding inside out to dump out its contents when it was used exclusively as a toilet is horrifying

You need a bag of whole dung, not a bag of holding!

You obviously have to plant it in the ground first, silly!

Be careful which hole you do this with. Some are invasive and it can wreak havoc on your environment.
nathanjent@programming.dev 1 day ago
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!

Wait … we’re not carrying around our bag in our hole now? Am I doing this wrong?
