    do we not jettison it against a tree like other humans? this effectively marks human territory and sends a clear message to other humans that “this is my home”.

            If you get a hold of such a bag, one with a whole hole in its hold, whatever you do, don’t place a whole other bag of holing with a hole in it, inside it.

            Also we’re visitors.

            At least in major watersheds the primary reason for picking up dog poop is because of the insane nitrogen content of the insane amounts of dog poop that’s generated. The environment isn’t ready for that influx.

        Make sure to know which direction the trail is when walking 30 m away from it. People died following this rule. Well, I know of one person that died because of it.

          tbf 30m is an arbitrary distance, just go as far as you can reach without losing sight of the trail and maybe dig an extra deep hole instead.

      If your enemies happen to get their drinking water from a well, there is. Contaminate the groundwater supply and enemies will be harmed. You can also poop upstream of a river or stream if that’s where they drink from. Bonus points if you get some tapeworms first.

      Leave it less than six feet away from where they commonly walk around barefoot and they could get hookworm. If I remember the Radio Lab correctly anyway.

          Yeah, maybe…unfortunately my only advice is to walk around in or near feces until you get some hookworm, because that’s all I know about them. And I’m using the word “know” very loosely.
