Look, we’re aware that when nature calls it calls… But, we can follow some simple guidelines to leave as little trace of our presence as possible:
- Pick a flat area at least 60m from the foot path and/or water
- Dig a small whole about 20cm deep and once the deed is done, fill up the whole and plant a stick or place a rock over the area to make others aware
- Keep a sealable bag for used toilet paper. Avoid burning toilet paper (due to fire hazard) or burying it (ecological impact).
- If the terrain doesn’t allow for a hole to be dug, use the “smear technique” – find a rock to smear the poop over a greater area, which allows for the sun and other elements to break down the bacteria quicker.
