A light application of petroleum jelly prior to the act and you'll need surprisingly little loo roll.
If soiling your footwear or clothing concerns you at all, simply remove them before the stage above!
How do you number 2?

Dig, squat and burn in situ.
If there is high fire risk, then I'll either carry the paper to a communal fire (rather than starting a new one), or bag it and carry it out.
Bagging is not a nice option, but if you bury it, animals often dig it up and before you know it you have a ticker-tape parade happening !

As has been said, dig-do-bury, but with regards to how far away from water source, up until a few months ago i was very of the mindset of 100 yards away from watersource. That was until i was staying on the side of the dee and we came accross a sewage plant 20 yards from the edge that was pouring its waste straight into the Dee....
russian toilet - one stick (thrust it to the ground, hold on and take a dump)
russian toilet "de luxe" - two sticks (thrust first one to the ground, hold on, take a dump. Second stick is for beating the wolfes)

Waddle, give birth, admire, wipe, burst finger through paper, get wicked thigh burn, wipe again, bury.
First stay well away from camp, you water supply and paths.
I usually find a largish rock, roll it over, squat, do the deed and then roll the rock back.
Quick, simple, no mess on cloths and no need for support.
Arab or squat toilets are easy to use and I read somewhere that they are better for you than sit toilets, something to do with angles and less straining.
They are not all that alien here in Europe, the last one I saw was in a bar near the Louvre not that many years ago.
Happy trails...torc.

Can i just ask why do you burn the paper surely it biodegrades i have always burnt it but never really understood why.
At work i spend quite alot of time down drains the paper doesn't hang around much unlike the other stuff.

I can't think of a good reason to burn it other than it takes up lots of room in the dump hole and is pretty conspicuous in white if it gets dug up by animals.
I read with horror the abundant use of tissue paper! Why use such stuff? Such a useless way to clean up too.
Left hand method is best and 1/8th of a litre of water is the most one needs to use by this method. Right hand for eating. With practice you can get your water use to less but cleaning the hand is still important. Try and you will be pleasantly surprised. It is in the mindset!

Hey Shewie. Funny thing though, you don't! Its a poo and go situation! One less thing to carry too. The use of tissue paper is a very Western culture thing and as I said, a mindset. Once you have passed through the poo on hand block you will be surprised!
There is another train of thought here too is not to poo in a hole.....Leave it for the wildlife (foxes) or if you are with your dog offer the pile to him/her, they often like a snack. This then re-enforces the non use of horrible tissue!
No I'm not advocating this habit at the Moot or in company but just as an alternative thought process. Millions of the worlds inhabitants do not reach for *ndrex softie tissue when they 'go', it's just a relic from the Victorian age and now so psycologically ingrained in people that the habit is hard to see around!
