In my experience, hiking with a big heavy pack on works better at helping your body process dinner.

I second the suggestion for a portaloo - that would at least reduce the percentage and it would make more sense than a permanent instalment as it would only have to be there on weekends.

I think there are some people out there who are truly horrified at having to poo outdoors and run away leaving streamers of toilet paper in their wake.

It is actually true that poo left in the open will get washed away and rot faster - HOWEVER the disease spread that that would create far outweighs this.
Bury your poo AND toilet paper, do it well away from tracks and waterways, cover it with some sticks and stones so that others don't step into your squelchy pothole.
