TMI ALERT! Unless you've camped like I have you have no idea what its like to relieve yourself in the backcountry. Most places require you to dig yourself a "cathole" at least six inches down, some places require you to bag it out, and all places ask you to carry out your toilet paper. Our last backcountry campsite in Rocky Mountain National Park spoiled us: we had our very own privy! Backcountry toilets are rare, mostly because they're difficult to maintain, but Torrey and I got lucky on what was supposed to be our final night in the backcountry with one of those all to ourselves. It even had a seat and a lid! We hadn't been at the site very long before the bear came along and forced us to leave, and I can't help but feel like we missed out on a golden opportunity. Its the little things guys, it truly is.
Leave me a comment and tell me if you've had backcountry bathroom woes, or have you ever seen a backcountry privy? Fun times...
