Digging Camp Cat Holes

Video Transcript

"Alright now if you're not at a trail shelter that has a privy, you're going to need to find your own bathroom. And basically you want to stay two hundred feet away from any water source or camp site. Basically go out where it?s nice and private, and you're going to dig yourself a little cat hole. Here's a little flag that tells everybody what you're going to go do so you grab your trowel and you walk out into the woods to find a place. You find a nice place in the dirt?s kind of soft, and you dig yourself a hole about six or eight inches deep, and you do what you need to do. Ideally, you want to have a little Ziploc bag with you because it?s if you're in the leave no trace mindset, you want to pack out your toilet paper. Biodegradable toilet paper is probably the best thing you could definitely bring. There are some places where you have to actually pack out more than just your toilet paper. Places like the Grand Canyon, if you're going to backpack there. There's rules in place where you actually have to pack out feces so in places like that you want to check on the rules and if you have any questions ask your local outfitter."
