Hygiene in the Woods and Fields

Last Spring while walking a woods trail trying to roost some Turkeys I came upon a large pile of human feces and toilet paper in the middle of the trail. Not a very pleasant sight. All soldiers learn that in the field you dig a small hole and cover your waste. No shovel, use a boot to scrape a shallow depression and cover with leaves and dirt.
About toilet paper. The regular household stuff doesn't hold up too good to being carried in a pocket. I carry a couple paper towels folded in a ziplock sandwich bag. Cottonelle and others now make moist disposable wipes. Those will stay moist in a sandwich bag and you will feel a whole lot cleaner and maybe smell less for the deer. Got this tip from my Doctor. Everybody should leave the woods better than you found them. I covered the mess up that day.
