Course ya cant ‘do one’ in the woods, you must scrap out a little indentation hold onto a tree as a ‘straining pole’ and once done, cover over and dont forget to leave a X with 2 sticks on top so that others know thats place has been used :)
Thats what we teach the kids on bivi camp..

Well I have to say I don’t have that problem in the woods. But then again when we go it’s for a week and there are alot of us that go. But we dig a nice hole and build us a nice potty surrounded by a tarp, so it makes it easy!

Thank heaven for public restrooms. They’ve saved my life many a time.

Marmite: I agree, but please don’t use the two sticks I sent you. Maybe some flowers or other natural things. If you have to go, then go. But please, make things right afterwards.
