Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I have a feeling the official stance is that you take a plastic container (cylander and screw top) to store any excrement and then take it with you...
This is what is advised to hikers on Dartmoor anyway!

There's no way I'm packing out my poop! It's perfectly natural, as natural as the earth I bury it in.
I dig a wee hole, bab in it, then bury it. Then I burn my loo paper, as it will not biodegrade. Then I WASH MY HANDS!
And 100 metres from away from water is overkill; the ground will neutralise and filter out all nasties within a few metres of your poo site.

The problem isn't you dude, its you times a thousand, look at the cairngorm poo project as an example, lots of chaps dropping steamer on the massif was/is causing a lot of problems for local flora and forna.
I don't know how many of your have heard of similar stories but many years ago a friend of mine had just joined the army and it was his first time in the woods with them and he needed a dump, so off he went, dropped his keks and went, turned around and there was nothing... he looked all over trying to find it, terrified as to where it had gone, but could find nothing. (Of course one of the other squaddies had crept up behind him and placed a shovel underneath and taken it away!)
He he.
I would've got some rabbit guts and put them in its place. That would freak him out.
always pack some toliet paper, if not for wiping your prosterior then, tinder, wiping up general mess, improvised bandages.
i had to do the old bear grylls in the woods for a month and a half, didnt realy put much thought into it, just bury and burn.

theres a joke about that with an old vicar and his stick
Some good reading here on the matter, Survival topics .com. Tried a link but the naughty poo word was in it.
In the tank regiments everyone wore overalls (do they still?). If it wasn't behind you check in your overalls before you pull them back up

The trouble with Biscuits Brown AB is when you do go you really do go producing something of gigantic proportions.
I was in Germany attached to a Yeomanry Troop when one by one we had to disappear on a "shovel recce" everyone came back with stories of how big it was ,how you had to walk away as you were doing it etc.
One of the last men back said "you've got to see what i've just produced" so of course we all bimbled along to have a look at his T**d , it was enormous a coil about a foot high , we marveled at it the diameter was impressive but it must have been a yard long............
Then someone noticed it varied in colour and bore along it's length..........it turned out Trooper X had found the piles of disturbed earth /unburied poo left by dug them up and moulded them into a superT*rd .........
Still it's better than the bloke next to you opening his bergan to reveal a plastic bag swollen up like a balloon holding a deposit from left in there since last month...

Many years ago when i was in the army i went for one in full NBC kit during an excercise. I removed my hood and my pants as you do. Went back to my kip without my mask and hood and about 4.30 in the AM we heard heard "Gas! Gas! Gas!). I awoke and put on my respirator - wheres my hood? i legged it out to where i had been and found i had done the deed on the hood. I did suffer when the CS gas (used as a chemical attack sim) hit us - but better that than head covered in crap!
Just churn it out, a badger will eat it when its still warm, although chilled its still perfectly acceptable
i agree...just crank it out. unless your crapping through someones letter box, there are VERY similar types of poop in the woods...be it badger, fox, bird, deer, rabbit or whatever that are likely to cause offence to someone or something. just try and b mindful not to do it on a pathway or major high street...that tends to upset people! it'll breakdown really quickly anyway. BUT do burn your loo roll...not a nice thing to leave behind...
