With increasing frequency we have all observed or come in contact (literally) with poop, poop paper, and pee paper at our local crags.
For all who were never educated on how to go to the bathroom outdoors this is a good place to start.
Leave NO Trace Ethic:
"Pooping in the Woods 101
1. Always use bathrooms and outhouses when available.
2a. Pee is easier to deal with. It does not matter much where you go, however it is important that you are considerate of others. Try not to go directly on plants (or at the base of a wall, in a cave, on the trail, next to streams or waterways). Cover and disguise location if appropriate and remember pack out the paper.
2b. Deposit solid human waste in catholes dug 6 to 8 inches deep at least 200 feet from water, camp, and trails. Cover and disguise the cathole when finished.
• Depart from camp armed with bathroom pack and personal trash zip-lock
• Find your spot (at least 200 feet from water, camp, and trails)
• Dig your hole (6-8 inches deep)
• Do your business, place TP in personal trash zip-lock.
• Cover and disguise location when finished.
3. Pack out toilet paper and hygiene products.
Our bathroom pack includes: trowel and toilet paper in a small ziplock bag, both are in a large zip-lock bag."
If you are traveling in a group of buddies who may not be familiar with going to the bathroom bring extra baggies and show em what to do.

I think the first step in learning how to properly poop in the outdoors is to stop calling it pooping and use a more adult description. Like "How to drop the kids off at the pool in the outdoors." Or, "How to push one out in the outdoors." Or, "How to grow a tail in the outdoors."

speaking of poison ivy, you know how some people are sensitive to it, and others are not?
Well, I had a friend whose girlfriend, on a camping trip, went to the bathroom in a patch of poison ivy, and did not feel a thing, thought nothing of it. But, that night, after a nice session of luvin', he got a SEVERE reaction on his penis! Had to go to the hospital.

Haha, I totally was that girl, minus the sex and adding in a painful and itchy rash over most of my nether-regions.
(taught me to ALWAYS take my headlamp out and check the pee tree when I have to go in the middle of the night!!)
