Hammie , I love the way you care about your beautifull space up in them-there-woods of yours. And you are so right about the numbers growing in your group. Seems like they all are carring folks.

I'm not much of a crowd person, so it's always a challenge to me! But you're right, good folks and I really enjoy the company.

I like my little shovel that was a german issue foldable.

I can't imagine having to pack it around in a pack but it is perfect for under the back seat.

It has weight and can be configured to dig a little hole easy like pie.

Mark gave one away at the RendezVW this year.

You may find one at a local military surplus outlet. I paid $10 for mine and recently bought one for a little more.

My fave.

Yes, Bertha's sporting that dandy new German shovel. Still pristine. I avoid such primitive business, preferring a cup of coffee, a cigarette and a crossword puzzle, but when there is no other option, it's delightful to have the appropriate tool for the job. Squatter, myself. Although I have seen "outhouse" set-ups incorporating a seat and a five gallon bucket. I guess with a well sealing lid, "no trace" would be fairly manageable. The final disposal task seems a bit daunting, though.

I guess it really wouldn't be that bad to collect one's poop in a plastic bag for later disposal. 1 a day, that's not too much. But it pleases me to know a part of me is out there decomposing.

It ain't all that bad. Ask any responsible urban dog owner. In Mexico, none of the paper went into the toilet, it all went into the trash can. Signage everywhere to thwart that US habit. And I found it wasn't as disgusting as I thought it might be. Wadded up balls of tpaper.

I had a feeling this was a shitty thread from the start.
