PS: That geeble attempt at humour was really Sassafrass' fault.

Has something to do with her inability to edit was she thinking.

Results from my experiment
This subject came up last winter at some point and I thought I would go back to "my spots" along the Cooke City-East Rosebud Trail and note the amount of decompostion from the previous year. So, I checked under a few rocks on the Montanapalooza trip to see how my experimental plots weathered the year.

Of the samples taken, referred to herein as "Dumps", 100% showed nearly total decompostion. I even found my lost contact lens.

Too funny Aero. I'm sure it does have a pretty rapid break-down time. I mean, it's only organic matter after all..

Blinkey - Just thnk of it as throwing yer food in the compactor! Great way to loose weight on the trail. With all that food eaten, WOW! After a trip, you must be crapping fer days! :) You could build a log cabin!

TP ideas: Place tp in brown paper bag to be packed out. Place said paper bag in double zip lock for transport. In the evening, place paper bag in the fire just before everyone goes to bed. Fire should take care of it. Or, just dispose of paper bag at the next avalible trash can. No tp should be put in cathole, if at all possible.

I think that composter can double as a dehydrator, no?

'conundrum.' <>b ahave you been reading the dictionary in the bathroom, again? LOL

bacpac - You're really piling it on in this string. (Actually, bacpac, you're OK. Most of your posts have earned you my respect.)

'So what does everyone else do?'
bbinkley

I seldom do it in the woods. I've even gone for 12 days without a problem. On 700 calories per day, it's like: nothing in, nothing out. But I usually drink some prune juice as soon as I exit from a backpacking adventure.

This is a difficult issue when backpacking with your kids. It was treated kind of like a right of passage - "no long trips till you are willing to crap in the woods". My kid has been doing it since he was 9. Get a grip bbinkley. Or maybe I should say loosen up them bowels boy!

I'm afraid someone will look over my shoulder at work and see what you guys are talking about ...
I'm afraid what is concidered "normal bodily functions" by us would really upset some uptight people around here. I guess I was alittle freaked out by it the first time I took one in the woods.

Garfum, Didn't seem to be an issue w/my son (now 7). In fact, even if close to the trailhead, he can't seem to wait 'till we get to a real bathroom! Two winters ago, while XC skiing he had to go (at the furthest point from the ski lodge, of course). Well, I supported him as best I could while staying on my skis, and it worked. Of course, he pooped on my skis, which has been the subject of endless family jokes since.

Martyb your kid must be natural born woods crapper, and has a good aim too.

This comming summer we'll start my 5 yr old BPing. Bet he holds it like bbinkley.

I don't have trouble taking care of business in the woods. In fact, I rather enjoyo the view. It's much better than staring at the bathroom wall.

You need to make a game out of it. I like to rate my "movements". 10 being spectacular and 1 being really bad. I believe I've discussed my rating system w/ a couple TTers at our last weekend trip...

Most of the crap occurs around the campfire. Some of it should really be buried.

LMAO at tarabull - this rating system you speak of - what factors are involved in a high score? Location? Distance? Length(or height)? Degree of relief?
