I was chatting to a mate who said they hate going to the toilet outdoors and that they avoid it. That made me really sad, as I love hiking and I’d hate it if the fear of going to the loo prevented anyone form going hiking. I love going to the toilet outdoors – to be honest I actually prefer it to a normal toilet.

I hope this video helps people and I encourage people to comment below on what they do – as I think its a learning curve working out what works for your situation.

I also chat about going for a wee as a woman and tips to not have to use toilet paper. Having your period can stop women going outdoors and that once again upsets me as I think it shouldn’t stop you. I simply wrap used tampons or pads in toilet paper and then put them in a ziplock bag and then in a second ziplock rubbish bag. I like to use old ziplocks that are rubbish (for example ones I’ve had food in and finish using).

The main rules are
– use toilets where provided
– Pack out waste if you can for minimum impact
– Dig a hole about 15-20cm deep
– 100m from water and the trail
– Cover the hole when finished
– Its best if you pack out toilet paper but a small amount of biodegradable paper in the hole is ok
– Alway pack out sanitary pads, tampons and condoms – they will not breakdown

Be sure to leave no trace and leave the environment in better condition than you found it.
