KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Friends, We have all heard the expression "my shit don't stink". While mine does, so badly, in fact, that no matter how I wrap my brown payload into a series of nested, plastic sarcophaguses, the odors penetrate them and befoul the air, making a long haul down from a summit an unpleasant experience for all. I have tried Rainier blue-bags, WAG bags, ziplocs, freezer ziplocs, kitchen garbage bags, etc - all in layers and various permutations (usually nested three deep). Does anyone have a fool-proof, lightweight blue-bag system which can protect the world from toxic radioactive crap whose odor has the powers of gamma rays to penetrate substances short of lead? Quote

denalidave Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Just sneak it into your partner's pack like I do. Then, make sure you stay ahead of them on the trail down. Quote

LOL! 3 k's, how bout a little Kitty Litter in there? Tried that. It worked OK. The Mt. Shasta "blue bags" actually have some kitty litter which gave me that idea. Quote
justinp Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Make a poop tube out of thin walled PVC. I find this helps control the dank Quote
DPS Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 What about a dry bag, the kind used by kayakers? Quote
kroc Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Fed-x style mailing envelopes can provide an extra barrier to place a poop bag into. They are quite puncture resistant. There is only so much you can do about the smell. If you will only use them a couple times a year, pvc tube seems like a reasonable expense, just toss it in a dumpster after a climb. Quote

rocketparrotlet Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 This thread cracks me up. Certain kinds of kitty litter, like silica gel, are strong dessicants. That might help. -Mark Quote
Dan_Miller Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I can hardly beleive I'm posting in "this" paticular thread. The Opsak may be your answer. Best of luck! http://www.loksak.com/products/opsak Quote
RokIzGud Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Use old Nalgene bottles and place a little kitty litter inside. Quote
Pilchuck71 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 A friend in Oregon that was in the Medical Marijuana business packaged her good in plastic "turkey bags". Kept the smell well contained. I have no experience with such things but she swore by them. Might work? Quote
medicsandy Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 would you consider sending your next dump to my ex??? Quote
ketch Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I like the idea of sending it to my ex. Here is a little chemistry experiment you may want to try. The blue chemical that is used in porta-potties is the same as what is used in RV systems. It is at some locations available in a dry chemical form for them to add to their own systems. It is primarily a deodurant for obvious reasons. You may find this to help. However the other part of the chemicals used is a gelifying agent so that it is easier to deal with. Whatever you are packaging in should be able to hold goodies of a more liguid nature I would experiment at home with a couple practice bags and varying amounts of chemical. Quote
zeroforhire Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 ^ practice at home... love that mental picture. I can only imagine what my wife would say. Quote

banos Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) What Dan Miller said... OP/UR Sak OP Sak That way.. when you slip it in your buddy's pack.. he won't even know he's carrying your massive fecal wt... Edited January 16, 2010 by banos Quote
ScottP Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Perhaps a revision of your diet? Wash your hands after dookie/before picking your nose? Extra bog roll to wipe more thoroughly? Make sure that where it drops isn't on you? BTW...thanks for sharing. Quote
Off_White Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 go see a doctor I think this is a serious suggestion, you might consider it. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 go see a doctor I think this is a serious suggestion, you might consider it. Umm, yeah. I could have made the post really boring: "I find my system of plastic bags / blue bags to sometimes inadequately contain the smell, especially on long deproaches on hot days." Quote
