Peeing, pooping, and periods! 👇

This is how we deal with everyday bodily functions on trail. Always remember to LEAVE NO TRACE! We don’t carry toilet paper. Instead we bring the following… 

Shared:
Hand sanitizer 
Ultralight shovel

Renee:
Anti microbial pee cloth
Menstrual cup
Water filter

We’ll post more details for each of these bodily functions in videos over the next few days!

These are the details of how we use sticks or rocks, plus water, to achieve total cleanliness after pooping while backpacking. This is part 3 of a series we’re doing on “The Three P’s” - peeing, pooping, and periods on the trail.

A few caveats:
- Use toilets/out-houses whenever available to minimize your impact on the wilderness.
- Check the regulations where you’ll be. In some places it’s required to pack out your poop.
-Make your hole is big enough for all of your poop and cover it well (at least 6-8”/ 15-20 cm).
