When you set up camp, you always have the latrine to consider. If you don't do it right, you end up with a foul smelling camp, or worse, unsanitary conditions. Fecal borne illness can be disastrous in the wilderness.
If you spend several days in the same spot, you should consider Eric's technique.
First, find a suitable location, pretty far from camp, and down wind of course.
Here is a great seat... It makes your cheeks giggle...
To keep it pristine, use a "shingle" made of a plank from the side of a dead tree, or a big slab of bark.
Use the shingle to catch the crap,
then take it away and bury it elsewhere. The "seat" stays clean for the next visit.
Always remember the motto of the Hoodlums Adventure Team...
"Boldly Going Where No Man Has Gone Before!"
