[pct-l] Problems on the PCT

[Sir Mixalot]

I don't believe it's against regulations to relieve yourself on the trail.
 Many hikers urinate on the trail.  It wouldn't surprise me if it was legal
to defecate on the trail so long as you didn't leave behind TP and didn't
have a witness. (would that be public nudity)  Fwiw, some LNT practitioners
smear their feces on boulders.

It's a germy trail.  That's why many of us recommend treating water and
never putting your hands in your food or mouth unless they're cleaned first.
