Trail sanitation is a big issue on the Rubicon Trail right now. We just lost Spider Lake area for four months, basically because of it, health hazards and people tearing up the area (driving everywhere).
But for trail sanitation, there is one answer: PACK IT OUT!
What FOTR recommends is a portable toilet (your choice), used with Poo Powder, the special enzyme dry powder that comes from ThePett toilet folks. I like my Pett toilet and privacy tent and take it every where. But the Outback Pack (cardboard) is a cheaper (shorter life span) option. A plastic bucket will work (Rubi-can) as along as you use the Poo Powder to make sure the mess is LANDFILL SAFE. That's the key. Poo Powder makes the waste landfill and dumpster safe. Nothing else does that we know of. So use the Poo Powder (also sold as Wag Bags).
