Not looking for dirty details, just curious as to the different camp etiquette, hygiene and safety with regards to pooping in the woods while on a hunting trip. :D

I assume the basic needs are:
A shovel.
TP.
Maybe wet one wipes.
And Hand sanitizer.
 
Good post! I usually have to find a tree.

Deer hunting its different though.. hunt hard, cheap lunch (but it consists of eggs and bacon and toast) and a trip to the john.
 
Fallen tree, with the smoothest bark available. Also, I don't carry TP - I just wear an old T-shirt as an undershirt and carry a knife.
 
A latrine is one of the first things that anyone with half a brain sets up when they make camp.

I flew into a village of 2000 people in the highlands of Papua New Guinea and could not see a single outhouse beccause there were none! They just defecated in the little creeks behind their huts and let the rain wash it away or the pigs would eat it. They had no no toilet paper and when you walked through the village you had to shake hands with all of the elders. I just left my gloves on for the handshakes and nobody seemed to get offended.

So living without a latrine is possible but you have to be a real moron.
 
Last year we set up a john, I think I used it twice in 8 days.:rolleyes: I'm never at camp when I have to go, so TP in a ziploc works for me!:D
 
A staple in my hunting pack is a ziploc bag with No scent babywipes in it!
laugh all you want but there is nothing worse then having a S$%t in the bush ! I'm talkin the wiskey Sh#ts from the night before.
Sometimes the regular old T.P doesn't cut it and you need to wipe your A$$ again 1/2 mile into the bush.
I hate that feeling!
 
Baby wipes are critical to those of us with middleage whitemans disease. otherwise that's what the daily trip out to the gas station are for.
 
I like very spicy food, read ... the sort that burns at both ends. I don't eat that in the bush or away from home w/o proper remedies.

TP and proper sanitation is essential.

Along with toilet paper, I always carry disposable vinyl or rubber gloves, which cost about $ 10.- for 100. That way your hands are as clean as they were before and after.
 
Snowhunter that's a good idea because you can use them when cleaning the animal as well! (obviously not the same ones)LOL
 
if you're paying 10/100 for laytex gloes, it's drugstore pricing or something- 3.49/100 at wally- i got one of those fancy legged donut holes at wally years ago- plastic bags for the centre, and tp for a wipe- if you want to get really fancy, a cheap tent gives privacy- no 1, however is just a big bush or tree
 
A tree behind camp about 50-60 metres, has a wooden frame nailed in with plywood surface and sides with hole cut out. We use a square cut piece of 1.5" styrofoam for the seat (good for on cold morings, especially at camp in the winter inthe mountains for sledding). The styrofoam piece stays out at the facility unless its raining, then we bring it back and hang on a tree nesar camp so the guys can take it.

Use a large concrete cylinder mold with plastic lid to keep the TP sealed and dry.
 
At group camps we have a shovel and everybody digs their own "cat hole" and buries their individual dumps.

Have lots of TP on hand and bury it.

One guy that came with us one time on a ranch we had permission on just shat all over the woods and left huge wads of TP all over the place.

The three of us all went in different directions for that so once when I wandered over to his "territory" I noticed it. Repulsive.

And this was on a site where the rancher took his fmaily for picnics inthe summer.

He wasn't my friend, but I told the guy who brought him to talk to him about it.

Can't believe he invited the guy on another hunt.

I quit going with either of them.
