How do you handle pooping in the field?

Wasn't it Santana who famously sang "I can't find nobody that I can DEPEND on"?

Get yourself a cheap, (used if possible) small tent that breaks down small. No car huh? Do you take the bus? Either way, look up the lightest one you can since you'll be carrying it like maybe in a backpack. Set it up at home and cut a huge section of the floor out. Get to a park, dig your hole, set up your tent (centering it on the hole you just dug) and do your business. You can bury it or do your business in a large garbage bag to take to a trash can. Take your tent down. With some practice at home you'll be able to get your tent up FAST and down FAST. No one will see what your doing...they'll just wonder if your camping and then changed your mind. Chances are you'll be "in and out" before anyone decides to come over and ask questions. Second, consider a used van...much easier to use than a car.

No, as I thought I'd explicitly said in my original post

Yes you sure did. I guess I didnt read past the word pooping... Not having a car creates a lot of other problems.

Try drinking coffee or eating breakfast before going out it works for me.

Actually it may even be a problem urinating in some areas. Wow I never thought of carrying a metal detector on a bus or on foot. That could be very dangerous.

Some thoughts on the idea about carrying a bucket. It better have a tight fitting lid when you carry it on the bus. Myself I would prefer to leave it behind. Look for a heavily wooded area at least where you can hide. In town you will be better suited to look for gas station or any restaurant or McDonalds should work.

Nothing worse than scattered piles of brown stained paper. I always burn mine but make sure you wait until the last ember is out. My friend caught the forest on fire.
