Once you’re full, there are high chances that you’ll want to pee or answer to the long call of nature. There’s no problem with peeing, given that can move like 50 metres away from the trail to ease this urge. This is totally different when it comes to defecaeting. You may be ashamed of your trail partner or the strangers that pass by your side or think you’re not being eco-friendly. But who’s ever dodged the bullet forever?

- Fill up the hole with soil, and continue hiking
