If you come to Colorado DO NOT dig cat holes. Our environment will not decompose your waste before someone else needs to dig one.

WAG bag, every time. They are not expensive.

leave. no. trace.

edit: #2, I don't think #1 is going to do much to the environment, just don't pee in the creek. Unless you're upstream from Coors it'll make the beer taste better.

    I used to use a bread bag but I'm not supposed to put those in the vault toilets. The WAG bag is supposedly compostable and has a gel in it so your waste doesn't get in your pack. They are definitely cool.

    I shit just fine in CO with holes. Year after year I even watched some of my shit spots grow beautiful flowers.

    You don't own Colorado and it was there long before you. It will be there long after you. Remote forests handle our shit just fine. Dig deep enough and away from the trail or water, near some plants, and they will gobble it up no problem. The number of human hikers in remote places is minuscule.

    A bit wild to demand people shit in synthetic plastic bags they have to purchase and dump them in a landfill. "Leave no trace -- except the giant plastic waste sites scarring the landscape everywhere"

    Now if you're talking park trails and other heavily populated places? That's different. It also isn't "Colorado" it is a specific sub-specification.

    Well since you don't seem to understand, I would challenge you to hold a healthy human shit in one hand and a healthy carnivore shit in the other hand. I guess you're going to need to use your mouth for a herbivore shit but just compare the three.
