OA trip discrepancies

[iCalculus]

<p>Some stuff Princeton didn’t care to share:
[Outdoor</a> Action Frosh Trip Personal Hygiene Information](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/~oa/ft/health/hygiene.shtml]Outdoor”>Personal Hygiene | Outdoor Action)</p>

<p>Mind your periods, ladies.</p>

<p>Here is some more info about leave no traces (this applies to Pton’s outdoor action winter camping, but should be the same during any season)</p>

<p>•Sanitation - Lack of sunlight and cold temperatures ■■■■■■ the decomposition of fecal material.
•Maximizing sunlight will help but will leave a visual impact if others are in the area. The best solution is to dig a cathole in just below the surface of the snow. Keep in mind that after the thaw, the feces will be resting on the ground. So pick a cathole site far from any water, summer trails, or summer camping areas. Locate a site with as much ground cover (grass or forest downfall), and as little slope as possible to minimize washing into surface water, and maximize feces-soil contact.
•For maximum fecal dispersion, persons should make personal holes as needed. There is no reason for a group’s waste to be deposited in one place. Head away from camp. Snow should be kicked over urine stains to prevent the “yellow snow” effect. Toilet paper can be a problem in the winter. Burning it once it has hit the snow is very difficult. You can burn it in a tin can or pack it out. A better idea may be to use snow or ice (although powder snow is difficult to use).

<p>So, conclusion: You don’t have to take your **** with you. But you’ll probably either have to burn or pack out your used toilet paper.</p>
