Toilet Kit

I keep a toilet kit in the bottom of each of my packs. When I am actually packing I go through the kit and re-supply as needed. I also have a super trowel that I move from kit to kit.

The acceptable procedure for waste elimination is to go far from water sources (at least 200 feet), dig a cat hole (six inches deep), cover the cat hole, pack out all the paper products.

Packing Comments

Ditty Bag

A small nylon bag to keep everything together.

Toilet Paper

I generally try to remember to take a roll out of use in the house when it has a third to fourth left to end of the roll. Make sure you have enough, but not too much.

Wipes

A small travel-sized pack of wet-wipes. These help to clean up after the toilet paper. Also used to clean hands etc.

Trowel

Makes it easy to dig a cat hole and cover it. I keep mine in a separate baggy just to keep it away from the other things in the bag.

Doggy Poop Bags

Dark plastic poop bags. You wear it like a glove pick up the paper, turn it inside out, and tie it closed. Dark so you can not see what is inside.

Hand Sanitizer

If you don't use the wipes to clean your hands, carry a small bottle of sanitizer.

Feminine Hygiene

Cycles can get pretty messed up at times like these. Be sure to carry pads and a couple of tampons in your kit as well.

 

 

Post-Trip Comments

All worked well and was definitely used. The small Montbell titanium trowel was the best new gear. We even had to use it as a tent stake.
