<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nUsing a cathole to ppoo while camping can be a simple and environmentally-friendly method of urination. It is not necessary to find an area with 200 feet of forest. A cathole in a well-drained site will do. The soil should be dark and rich with bacteria that decomposes feces more quickly. A cathole in an open area can be a better choice than a septic system, but you should avoid places where water runs off from your campsite. You will likely fail to follow “Leave No Trace” practices if you use a cathole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re going on a camping trip with your family, it’s a good idea to set up a designated cathole area so that everyone doesn’t dig up each other’s catholes. Besides, avoiding touching your poop is crucial for health. You can also use a soft reusable pee cloth and avoid using toilet paper. If you do need to use toilet paper, don’t put it in the hole. Rather, place a rock over the cathole to discourage animals from digging it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dig a cathole at least six to eight inches deep. A deeper hole will prevent bacteria from growing in shallow areas. A deeper hole will also mask smells from nearby wildlife. Digging a cathole is simple, but it compromises Leave No Trace principles. If you’re planning a camping trip with children, don’t use catholes in areas where water may be abundant. If you’re camping with a large group, you may want to spread out the sites so that everyone can use a different cathole for each poop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to camping, a cathole can be a useful tool. Cathole-digging tools are useful for this purpose. Toilet paper should be biodegradable and non-scented, as this won’t attract animals. It is also useful to pack out used wet wipes, so you can use them as your final wipe. The location of your cathole is also a consideration. It should be at least 200 feet away from water sources and trails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
