My requirement for long kayak trips is campsite, specifically for the outhouses. The rest of it I don’t mind, that part is non-negotiable.
I have done this for high altitude or glaciated climbs, and honestly, it’s not that bad. For the most part, you’ve been eating a hiker’s/climber’s/kayaker’s diet, and you’re just grateful that your plumbing is still working.
It can be bad though …
gross
… if you don’t take care to protect the bag from critters when you’re in camp. They love that … er, stuff … and will happily rip the bag open and spread it around camp. ![]()
But… wouldn’t you sleep on land?
This particular trip route they camped on island that allowed camping but didn’t have camp sites, and were designated as carry out
One of the island next door to one of the carry out islands is a park with a toilet but no amount allowed, so I joked about just kayaking over there to poop.
What!!!
OMG wooooah
gif, no flashing

I missed this line of discussion at the time because I was busy
in a bucket. I was on a 16-day river trip with a strict carry-out policy. The joke was that all the boats got lighter over the course of the trip (as we ate down the food stores) except one - the
boat.
Some snails give birth!?
INSIDE the shell? I imagine this is cozy.
Aw - that’s so sweet. Mom did excellent work!
Just double checked- yep still open!
I drive for a non-emergency medical transport company and I learn tidbits about the area from my riders who have lived in the area most of their lives. This week I learned that Needles, CA, which is on the border of CA and AZ on interstate 40, has 5 pot dispensaries and no grocery stores. It may explain why I smell pot when I get off the exit there more often than not.
