AY Honors/Camping/Sanitation

If camping at a facility that has toilets, use them. If camping in the wilderness, you will have to either build a latrine or use cat holes. Do "your business" at least 200 feet away from any source of water (such as a spring, river, or lake), and at least 100 feet away from your camp. Dig a shallow hole three to four inches deep (7-10 cm) and go there. Then bury it (and any toilet paper). At this depth, there are a lo of bacterias in the soil to quickly compost your waste. Digging deeper will make it take longer.

Just because you are camping does not mean you are at liberty to skip personal hygiene. Wash your hands before you eat and after you answer "nature's call." Brush your teeth before you go to bed and after breakfast. Wash your face and clean your fingernails.

Keep your kitchen clean too, and wash your dishes as soon as you finish eating. Dishes should be washed with potable water.
