tl;dr: dig a hole or carry it around in a bag. Saved you a lot of words.

    I've tried carrying a hole around in a bag but the darn thing always seems to get lost when it comes time to use it.

    You should get a bag of holding

    DO NOT use a bag of holding for this, you will regret it.

    Rookie mistake. You have to be sure to use the whole bag. Anything less won't work.

    A 15cm (6 inch) deep hole 30m (100 feet) from the trail or water.

    There's a lot of bad shit in our poop that isn't in most wild animal shit.

    Particularly transmissible diseases for other humans.

    Also we’re visitors.

    At least in major watersheds the primary reason for picking up dog poop is because of the insane nitrogen content of the insane amounts of dog poop that’s generated. The environment isn’t ready for that influx.

    Potential disease vector is 2, then it’s icky gross is 3

    Make sure to know which direction the trail is when walking 30 m away from it. People died following this rule. Well, I know of one person that died because of it.

    Is there a way to poop outdoors in a way that will harm my enemies?

    If your enemies happen to get their drinking water from a well, there is. Contaminate the groundwater supply and enemies will be harmed. You can also poop upstream of a river or stream if that's where they drink from. Bonus points if you get some tapeworms first.

    Leave it less than six feet away from where they commonly walk around barefoot and they could get hookworm. If I remember the Radio Lab correctly anyway.

    A literal shitpost. Splendid.

    The answer is a kilt. Prove me wrong.

    Edit to add: the fact I have to choose 'English' and cannot choose 'Scottish' makes me want to stab some cunt in the face with a tattie scone.

    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.

    Have the animals been informed of this ?

    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.

    I love the combo of this blog’s subject with its domain name.

    I sent it to several friends and asked them “Have you had ‘The Conversation’ with your loved ones?”
