      He called you a clown.


      He did acknowledge our educational prowess, though
      hang on, I gotta go look those words up.


      Translation: He collectively called us the clown college.

      another way to bury waste in the winter is to find a large rock you can pick up, do your business and replace.

      Like bear bagging PCT method, isn't this referred to as PA style.
      Depends on what part of PA...near the Phila trail heads we just throw it at passing cars...SPLAT...problem gone.



      But seriously, on a recent trip I just tucked it under a rock... now my dogs out there sniffin around

      No one washes their hands anymore. I'm guessing that only half are washing hands while in public bathrooms.



      Please.....I open public restroom doors with my feet! I can't touch a shopping cart unless the grocery store has wipes.....I rush into the bathroom to wash after I shake a customers hand! I sometimes wonder if I'm defeating my immune system being so anal.

      i like the stores that put a waste basket right by the bathroom door, that way I can wash my hands and dry them, open door with used drying towel and pitch in can upon leaving...it should be a Law.

      With all the 46.gif laws we pass in this country, that's just one I could get behind

      I also do the zig zag thing, but I follow close to someone openin the main door so I don't have to, and then throw a left foot door block stopper....don't try that at toll booths though, trust me on this....luckily those arms are made out of soft pine, and before cameras were a big thing.

      Kevin-

      In the winter around here- digging a hole makes a bigger and more unsightly mess. I usually use a snow smear- walk around the back side of a tree, do your deed right on the snow. Let it set up for a sec while you wash up with your snowball. Then scoop up your leavings by reaching a few inches under and picking up your snow cone and it's tootsie roll center.

      Smash said snow cone tootsie roll first onto the bark of the tree, use your shoe to smear it in. It'll degrade plenty fast with the UV hitting it and the brown blends in to the tree much better than scattering a bunch of dirt trying to dig frozen soil.

      Other than your tracks to the tree it's not as bad as it sounds. Your area probably has more hollows and downed trees to use, but flatlanders are hard pressed to find those sorta options.

      I LIKE your tip.

      Just don't get a lot of snow around here.

      Push out a stool and join the conversation?

      I have used a plastic bag on two occasions. Once south of Hampton, TN due to rain, and once south of Pine Grove Furnace because it was dark, hilly, rocky, and near a creek.

      I rarely go ultralight, but when I do I still carry toilet paper. On the rare occasion when I ran out, I used wet leaves. One guy I met on the AT told me he does not wipe, but was observed scratching down there.

      Has anyone read the book "How to Shit in the Woods"?

      Another interesting title: "The History of Farting".

      More thoughts that might be worth a 46.gif

      I use whatever stick I can find to dig cat holes. At least one AT shelter in Tennessee had a shovel, which is really nice to have, since I do not carry a trowel on the AT. I like to lean my back against something solid, e.g. tree or boulder. Hanging over the edge of a fallen tree is good. Wedging my butt between two such logs is even better.

      I have found softer ground at the base of a tree, but with many tangled tap roots. Make sure to look for yellow jacket activity before digging or dumping.

      Has anyone filled an opaque plastic bag and hung a note saying "trail magic" :evil: ? Ridge runners and trail maintainers need not laugh.

      The base of a blowdown is my favourite spot.
      Usually a hollow and you can get away with just scuffing some litter away and then back over it. Lots of tree roots to hang on to and rest the paper roll on.
