Hiking rules, but sometimes there are rules you are supposed to follow. Like, no fires here (see the "campfires" thread, boy are there a lot of rules in there!). Sometimes there are even rules about how many people are even allowed hike here in one day. Do you have any good or bad rules where you hike?

I don't follow any rules besides not leaving trash like a jackass. Don't usually hike on maintained trails though.

Take out what you take in, and make sure your fire's out.

Do people really carry bags of their own poo poo when they go on overnight camping trips? Maybe I'm just not used to sleeping in true wilderness, as opposed to a national park, and admittedly most of my overnight outdoors experiences were canoe trips rather than hiking trips, but I have never carried a bag of poo poo around with me when camping. Typically there were wooden boxes you could poo poo in or else you'd bury your poo poo in a shallow grave like a mafia informant.

Many places allow you to bury it but it is getting to the point where human poop is causing damage to the environment because so many people are out there. There are special bags made to poop in that are easy to use. There is a push for more people to pack out their poop and it is what we do now when back packing, climbing, or skiing.

Rally popular areas like around mt Whitney require wag bags for pooping in otherwise the area turns into a sewer and smells like poo poo all the time Other than that, 6 inches down and pack out your TP or use leaves or something. TP doesn't biodegrade for poo poo and animals dig it up and strew it around. Also don't poo poo next to the trail or campsites that's just loving weird It ain't all pretty but I'd rather not always be stepping on people's toilet paper and poo poo I get enough of that living in a city

No one should know you were there. Please don't litter or burn down the forrest. I guess thats about it? Pick up your dog's poo poo. I see a lot of little sacks of poo poo on trails. People will bring sacks in which to place their dogs poo poo, and then just leave the bag. I don't get it! Do they think someone comes along and picks it up for them? (do they?).

IMO it is acceptable to poop in a hole so long as the hole is far enough away from water sources etc. Bring a tiny shovel for this purpose, or dig the hole by scrabbling at the ground with your paws like a drat animal. Tip: Find a young but firm sapling. Drop trough, grab the tree, and lean back. This will help prevent you poopin in your own back pocket.

Crap in the woods if there are woods. Otherwise (above timberline?), carry that poo poo. If conditions are dry enough you can store your crap at your campsite in the open for all to see so that it can dry out while you're climbing or whatever, then you'll have less to carry on your way back. Ultralight crap etiquette!

The concept of "above timberline" is totally foreign to me. Mid Atlantic its trees as far up as you can get. I also have no interest in climbing up poo poo, gently caress mountains, I wanna spend my time in river valleys and such. Wanna get as low as possible. Which is unfortunate as it seems like everyone one else loves them so it is very hard to find trails that follow rivers and poo poo.

Most back country places I've been have just said bury it six inches deep at least and pack out your toilet paper, even above the timberline. The Whitney Zone is the only place I've been that required using wag bags, but I can imagine some other really busy areas might do the same. Even camping near the Whitney Zone is kind of sketchy because of the number of people passing through all of the trails in that area and there's always some poorly dug pooping holes near the camp areas

I like the parks here because they decided "We don't want anyone loving up nature so we're going to build campgrounds every 5-15km and they'll all have outhouses that are designed to maximize decomposition"

It is also weird to me that parks can be popular enough for it to be an issue. Even on a Saturday in the summer our little local parks are rarely crowded and most trails more then two miles from parking are totally empty. I began to suspect that I was like the only person using one of the trials at a local park. To test this I once left a $5 bill in the middle of the trail weighed down with a rock. It remained there for easily three weeks.

An interesting person I used to know had a really cool life rule: you haven't actually been someplace until you've peed on the ground. Keep that in mind next time you say "I went hiking".
