Today I Learned

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. :face_vomiting:

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.

I missed this line of discussion at the time because I was busy :poop: 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 :poop: boat.
