bring a small shovel/trowel for digging a little hole to poop in

if you arent pooping in a hole you arent camping why not just hit up a motel if you want an adventure

you can poop in a hole any drat time you like

the true spirit of camping is holding it in for five days so as to avoid doing so

I normally just poop in the creek. It's basically just nature's toilet. The fish enjoy the tasty poop morsels that come their way.

Just for a day, I've never camped by myself and I'm scared a bear will eat me. I have a tent, a sleeping bag/pad, food/water, a little camping stove I'm going to borrow from my father. matches, knives, a folding saw a map and compass. Also a headlamp and lantern and that kind of stuff.

You best tied your food up in a tree, bears are hungry right now. Don't leave poo poo in your car, or bears will break in and go drive the fucker into town. That includes any food wrappers.

Good chance for both really. Well, used as a chew toy anyway.

It's not back country, but it's a fairly remote location. I won't have to backpack in or anything. I've been there with my father a few times. There's a little creek with some native brook trout.

Where?

Also be ready for shifts in the weather. Depending on area you might get random snowfall.

While the thought to bring toilet paper on camping trips is natural to most people, it is usually not necessary as nature offers numerous alternatives that do not require valuable space in your bags.



Hedera Triveras is the most common natural alternative to toilet paper and is quite abundant in much of the continental United States.
Thought to be a distant relative of the Aloe plant, it is also quite helpful in treating minor cuts, scratches and bug bites.

I’ve seen bears plenty of times while camping or just near the road and went “meh” and they just wander off.

Once we were on a trail and just heard a mountain lion’s low growl and I poo poo my pants in utter terror; backed away as subtly fast as possible and ran like a motherfucker once we were sure we were clear.
