Proper disposal of human waste is critical to avoiding pollution of water sources, avoiding the negative implications of someone else finding it, minimizing the possibility of spreading disease and maximizing the rate of decomposition. Catholes are the most widely accepted method of waste disposal. Catholes should be at least 200 feet (about 70 adult steps) from water, trails and camps. Find an inconspicuous site where other people will not be walking or camping. With trowel, dig a hole 6-8 inches deep and 4-6 inches in diameter. When finished, cover and disguise the cathole with natural materials. When camping in an area for more than one night, or when camping with a large group, disperse catholes as widely as possible.
