We all poop! I hate scrounging for blue bags now that I’ve found myself frequenting places to pick up the free ones far less. The Rangers at the REI station won’t give me 30 at a time anymore, apparently they’ve set “a hard cap at 2 per visitor”. Lame.

Any folks buying these in bulk online?

What is "the REI station"?

Frank- The REI in Seattle has a ranger station inside of it.

Tucker- Are you actually using those?  They mostly look like they are for dogs, which seem unlikely to be suitable for 2-3 day storage on a pack.

Na, I shit in the woods the way God intended. Search for Wag Bag. They have the same ones that are out in the boxes at Red Rocks in Vegas.

Wag bags? I bought something like a 50 pack a couple years ago at Campsaver.

Can’t wait to see the poop bag sampler at the local Costco 

Didnt realize that wagbags were so popular. That’s like pooping at the Ritz compared to my free blue bags...

Chris, check out “Restop” brand bags.  They’re a little nicer than the USFS blue bags.  Available on Amazon and probably other places.

How do those compare to Biffy Bags? The Biffy Bag has a "ties" on the inner bag that you tie around your waist to keep it oriented when you're doing the deed. They work well when you don't have bucket commode to use them in.

I've never used a bag with mounting straps.  I just do the deed and then pick it up, I think that's the common practice?

Thanks for the rec, Kyle. After this weekend I’m down to my last few lol

As for use, I usually go right into the bag. Rolling up the sides a few times makes a nicer landing zone.
