Andere Länder, andere Sitten. But packing out the "Scheiße" in a bag Danke! Where do you put this bag in a Disco, or Range Rover. A 110 has a locker so it could go there. Anyways too many rules here for me. Like no dog, Wolfgang the Rottweiler would not like this. Even in the 'Schwarzwald' we don't have rules like this. So where would you put the waste ?f. Purchase WagBag portable toilets, or equivalent… (REI stocks the WagBag). Our permit requires that all human waste be packed out.

Dieter, you're being kind of anal about where to put your waste! What is all this about? Since when does one have to pack their sh*t out again. I thought that always just referred to "stuff" but human waste? Give me a break!

What no "Gun"?
Wow what a list, it tired me out reading it. I say for an American group practising survival I was surprised not to see a "GUN" in the list!
Cheers for now
Have a great weekend

Just curious as this is new to us is do you hold the bag like a feed bag and dump right in it it pick it up like I do with my dog poop and turn the bag inside out as you pick it up.
I guess putting it under the hood for transport would not be good incase the sh*t hits the fan? :bootyshake: :pottytrain4:

I have to say, that after today's drive in the bush, the Washington state rules may not be so bad... Several times we came across piles of human poo right on the edge of the trail. Man, these people had no manners whatsoever, not only tearing up the trails, but leaving stuff behind you just don't want to find anywhere near the trail.

Back when I was just a kid, grade 9 to be specific, there was a course being taught that was in rather high demand with most boys that year. It was called Hunter Training and Survival, and the culmination of the classroom teaching was a 3 day survival camping trip in the Rockies, west of Calgary. I have to say, this course did more than anything else to give me an appetite for the great outdoors, and thanks to Mr. Denault for bringing it to us.
But to get back to the subject at hand... Mr. Denault spent a fair bit of classroom time on the delicate topic of how to shit in the woods. When the actual book of this title came out in the early 80s I wondered if there was a connection. Anyway, there's little one can do to be delicate when teaching grade 9 students, so full points to him for getting some of it through to us in the classroom. We had all the theory behind all accepted methods down to a science.
The test came when we went on our survival campout. One of the pooping methods involved finding a young sapling, and bending it over and tying the top of it to the ground with a piece of string. Then you were to poop on the low-hanging branches and leaves, use a leaf for toilet paper, and when done stand back and cut the string. The resultant fling would disperse the poop quite nicely, and have little environmental impact. How was any of us to know that we had all cottoned on to the same method described by Mr. Denault — over 50 kids from two classes all flinging poop into the air in every direction. The smells and sights will forever be embedded in my memory!

Shit may happen, but fecal matter occurs.

Hah! :D We had a similar round of jokes in our group. My favorite product is the "bumper dumper" (which I've never used, it just makes me laugh).
Chris explained that the requirement came from the US Forest Service Naches Ranger District as a condition of the permit they granted to ARB. It is unfortunately becoming more and more common in the states, especially in arid regions like Moab. Normally Chris, myself, and the rest of our group just use the shovel to make a nice 8" hole.
Length of Chris' outline and potti humor aside, the class turned out to be quite good both for novices like myself and for the experienced drivers. The Yakima County Sherriff talked for a bit, and he did reccomend a gun. The Forest Service attended too, and explained how the trails were originally marked with blazes in the 20s. If you look closely at the trees you can still see the scarring today.
I've heard similar reviews from other clubs that Chris has worked with. Obviously you guys are quite experienced but if you are ever looking to help some of your younger members get a little training Chris is a really great guy and does a very good job with the class.
