AVOIDING TOILET TROUBLE

Hygiene is very important in the wilderness to avoid disease and insect infestation. Flies are annoying and can carry diseases. You should therefore designate a latrine space well away from your shelter, where the prevailing wind will blow the smell away. If possible, dig a hole to use as a latrine. You should poke around for biting insects with a stick before you sit over it. In rocky areas you may just need to cover your waste with stones.
