B.Y.O.B. - A Restop Affair

(With special thanks to guest blogger - Lara Usinowicz)
Attend a National Park, Forest Service, or BLM meeting and the topic that seems to garner the most attention is…yep, you guessed it…poop in the woods. These agencies have plenty of other issues to worry about other than how to manage YOUR poop! Some areas have implemented “pack it out” programs where land managers provide a “poop bag” with your backcountry permit but this puts the cost of implementation and management of a backcountry waste management program on the land managers. You wouldn’t expect a Forest Service or National Park Ranger to pack out your trash and human waste should be treated as just that…part of the trash you are responsible for taking with you.

You can easily and effectively take on that responsibility and BYOB (bring your own bag)…a Restop 2 bag, that is!
The Restop 2 solid waste bag provides a safe, sanitary and inexpensive means to transport solid human waste from sensitive wilderness areas. The outer bag is gas-impervious, thereby containing the odor, a significant issue if one is expected to “pack it out.” Inside the bag is a powder, a polymer/enzyme blend, that processes the waste so it is approved for trash disposal. The Restop 2 bag is designed to be used with a Restop Commode in a base camp situation or, in the backcountry, can be used directly on the ground. For a more discreet experience, it can also be used with the Restop Privacy Shelter.
Be a part of a good “movement” and pack out your poop. The Restop 2 bag is being used from Grand Teton to Mount Everest as an effective backcountry waste management solution and should be a part of your packing list when you head into the backcountry.

We can all take responsibility for ourselves in the backcountry or we can let it go to…
