Rant... The people who wander 100 yards off trail, dig a hole, and leave their TP in there, I get it, that's not exactly Leave-No-Trace but I'm never going to get angry with you for not blue bagging your TP, more just a little frown. You did the main thing, which was to get it far away from other humans. But the people who leave rocks on top of sh## and TP literally 2 paces from a camp site...or in one case I saw, ON A CAMP SITE...and don't even bother to dig a hole or even use your boot heel to scratch a few inches in... You all are disgusting and I'm ashamed I share a pastime with you. Sorry, just revolted after stumbling into a site at dusk, getting all ready to pitch up, and finding the poop and TP under a rock, right where my head was going to be.

The good news was you found the poop pile before it was too late. I once found a GIANT turd right next to a latrine above Snow Lake. I imagined the poop perpetrator considered themselves too fastidious to SIT on the latrine so made their deposit next to it.

Climate is everything. In the lower, temperate rain forest toilet paper decomposes swiftly. I was surprised at the speed. The turds? Not so fast and having a dog eat that and then come over and ..... I'm starting to not feel so good...icky.

This is my favorite....pitched my tent near Leprechaun Lake and noticed this the next day. Huge frozen turd

The only place I've seen human poop (not just a pile of old toilet paper) is inside Ape Cave Dog chit on the other hand, is EVERYWHERE nowadays. Especially on trails that allow horses. The horse riders aren't dismounting and picking up after their loose, wild dogs every time they take a chit.

In the pasayden, at a nice campsite along the Chewuch River literally about 30 ft out of camp was circled with turds laid out as if the pooper was squatting facing camp. They were close together, too, as if it was a large group that used the spot regularly and that was their regular and accepted pop method. No tp, but also no signs of any attempt to cover or even conceal the poop.

Not to diminish the poopetrator's dirty deeds, but eventually it will break down. What I can't stand, and think is completely wrong, are those "soft fiber" toilet wipes...they are not even paper. They are like a thick dryer sheet for D-bags' dainty butts, and will probably not biodegrade in a lifetime! Why are some people so self centered that they think it is OK to leave that sh1+ behind! Oh...I could rant on, and on, but rant over now.

Yes! More unburied poop, tp & *plastic* tampon applicators along the trails & campsites than ever. LNFT, Ok?!?? *Rant Off*

The number of hikers have exploded in the last several years (blame the internet) and it seems that most are pigs, full of crap, get lost a lot, and drive like maniacs to and from the TH.

It takes time for wilderness etiquette to soak in, and the increasing proportion of kids (i.e. those under 25) on trails these days - ultimately a good thing - means increased TP blooms, unburied poo, noise pollution, etc. in the short term. I've certainly done dumb things in the past, before I had the capacity to reason about what the world would be like if everyone did the same. The best thing you can do is go hiking/camping with a young person and hope some of your sense rubs off, or at least buy them a copy of this book for their birthday.

Took a turn down a little way marked by the toilet sign cause i had to go! Stumbled into a campsite! People camped right by the poop hole!!
