  1. I am an Outdoor Recreation Planner with the Bureau of Land Management, which manages more public land in the US than any other agency. I work at a very popular recreational destination in Utah. I gotta say that improper human poo techniques are one of the biggest concerns as far as recreational human impacts to the public lands go. The pathogens (germs) in human poop are more hazardous to humans than most animal poop pathogens because they are already adapted to living in us. Hepatitis comes to mind. So we really need to keep it from being "discovered" by fellow cachers, and from getting into contact with water (which is so important for all us living things). There are a couple of very good bag systems that are made for safe and sanitary human waste disposal. They are small, light, cheap (~$2 each) and really work great. Each bag-within-a-bag package has a liquid-absorbing powder in it to "gell" both poop and pee (no spills!). Each package also comes with a generous amount of toilet paper and an antiseptic hand wipe. My wife, two young daughters and I use these regularly when we are away from facilities. The two systems I've used and recommend are: Wag Bag Restop Check 'em out!
