Myself and friends use dog poo bags, I'm unsure of their techniques but I tear one open and place on ground to give a decent target, pop used paper on my feces then pickup by the corners to drop it all in another bag. Tie it up then drop it inside a empty large foil crisp packet to help avoid piercing. It can then easily be carried out with any other rubbish

I have a hard time believing wrapping up your poop in 2 factory produced dog bags and then a non biodegradable chip bag that will end up in a landfill is better for the environment than just digging a hole.

Best thing I can imagine, especially if you’re car camping and have the room is to have a post hole digger and then dig a hole 2 foot down in less than a minute, poop in it and then cover it up.

The idea is to sacrifice one part of the environment (municipal landfill and surrounding land) in order to have everything else reasonably clean and beautiful.

(Alternative being a thin layer of waste and garbage spread all over the planet. First World did that until 1970s; many poor countries still do it. Looks shabby and ugly.)

How does buried poop not keep things beautiful?
