Packing out poo
On multiday climbing or river trips when you have to pack out your poo, carry snap-lock bags and 1.25 litre PET bottles. Pack your food into the snap-lock bags and carry water in the PET bottles. As you eat the food, put your poo and paper in the empty snap-lock bags. When you finish a water bottle, cut the top one-third off the PET bottle and put your poo-filled snap-lock bags inside, then tape the top back on. This gives a well-sealed canister for your packed out poo. Use really good duct tape!
