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

    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.

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

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

    A 15cm (6 inch) deep hole 30m (100 feet) from the trail or water.

      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.

    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.

    Wait what?

  I poop in the middle of the trail I am hiking to assert dominance over the other hikers

    I poop on top of other poops in the middle of the trail. This is my forest, and I got a lot of poop to prove it.

      I like to poop upstream of water collection points.

    I like to swallow those dinosaur sponges that come in a pill shape, having full on dinosaurs in your scat asserts dominance.

    Personally I do it around the outskirts of my camp to mark my territory.

  Is there a way to poop outdoors in a way that will harm my enemies?

  source

  • hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    If your enemies happen to get their drinking water from a well, there is. Contaminate the groundwater supply and enemies will be harmed. Bonus points if you get some tapeworms first.

    Leave it less than six get away from where they commonly walk around barefoot and they could get hookworm. If I remember the Radio Lab correctly anyway.

      don’t i have to have hookworm to give it to someone?

  If you come to Colorado DO NOT dig cat holes. Our environment will not decompose your waste before someone else needs to dig one.

  WAG bag, every time. They are not expensive.

  leave. no. trace.

  • survirtual@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I shit just fine in CO with holes. Year after year I even watched some of my shit spots grow beautiful flowers.

    You don’t own Colorado and it was there long before you. It will be there long after you. Remote forests handle our shit just fine. Dig deep enough and away from the trail or water, near some plants, and they will gobble it up no problem. The number of human hikers in remote places is minuscule.

    A bit wild to demand people shit in synthetic plastic bags they have to purchase and dump them in a landfill. “Leave no trace – except the giant plastic waste sites scarring the landscape everywhere”

    Now if you’re talking park trails and other heavily populated places? That’s different. It also isn’t “Colorado” it is a specific sub-specification.

    I call them poop bags

    • rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I used to use a bread bag but I’m not supposed to put those in the vault toilets. The WAG bag is supposedly compostable and has a gel in it so your waste doesn’t get in your pack. They are definitely cool.

    Have the animals been informed of this ?

      Are you having a stroke?

    • rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Well since you don’t seem to understand, I would challenge you to take a healthy human shit in one hand and a healthy carnivore shit in the other hand. I guess you’re going to need to use your mouth for a herbivore shit but just compare the three.

    I appreciate the suggestion. I’m not in Colorado but the heat waves we’ve been getting in Washington have the made the normally soft soil into something that cannot be dug into without some serious tools. My ultralight trowel cannot do a thing to this stuff.

    Keeping a couple of these bags in my kit is a great idea.

  • crank0271@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Is that because of the high altitude?

    source

    • rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s very dry in most of the state so getting composting moving along can take some effort

  The answer is a kilt. Prove me wrong.

  Edit to add: the fact I have to choose ‘English’ and cannot choose ‘Scottish’ makes me want to stab some fucker in the face with a tattie scone.

  I sent it to several friends and asked them “Have you had ‘The Conversation’ with your loved ones?”

  Stop mixing it with broken glass and tossing it at other people’s eyes. That’s step one.

  do we not jettison it against a tree like other humans? this effectively marks human territory and sends a clear message to other humans that “this is my home”.
