How do you dig a 'cat hole' in frozen ground?
Really, what do you do when the ground is frozen and you can't dig a hole, and you really have to go? And everything is snow covered too?
Poop and cover it with snow.
Good time to burn tp with no fire danger also so less meww when it thaes out.
rocks can be handy
Turn over a rock if ya can, hence the turn "flop a rock"
This is an excellent question - usually, when the ground is frozen (no snow), I try to find a big downed log (preferably one that has started to rot into the ground) typically, I'll lift this from it's spot a bit and reveal softer areas beneath - make my deposit with a tiny bit of TP and replace the log to continue composting.
S#$^ n your britches. come on, if you can't figure that out, well...........
Don't Die Before You've Had A Chance To Live!
The U.S. Marines who advanced out of the Chosin Reservoir (North Korea, Korean Conflict, 1950-1953) in November-December 1950 had to withstand sub-zero temperatures, often less than -20F. The solution to pooping was to poop in your pants - it would freeze before it stuck and you could shake it out of your pants leg.Originally Posted by HiKen2011

Yep. My dad was a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman 1/C attached to 7th Regiment, 1st MARDIV, stuck in Hagaru-Ri. He said it sucked.
If your on a section hold till you get home .If your on a thru,then hold it till you get to town.
I don't know about you, but I get fiercely regular after only a few days out on a section.
I don't mean to change the subject, but redirecting it might be a good idea.
Here's a thought - find a privy, maybe? They don't lock them for the winter.
Of course, I realize that there are shelter areas without privies, mainly down south, but I can't remember any place north of the DWG that you couldn't get to a privy within half a day or less, counting road crossings where there were public facilities within a mile of the AT crossing.
Georgia had a couple of shelters/tentsites without privies, and I haven't done many miles between there and Pa. yet.
I like the idea of moving a log to deposit your own. I hadn't thought of that.

why do you think he goes by rocket socks?
actually I'm not that fast anymore,my good friends call me ..........stinkywhy do you think he goes by rocket socks?
If it's in thru hiking season, I doubt you'll have problems digging a hole, even if there is snow all over the place. Remember that the snow is melting, and is doing it from the bottom up, so the ground is above freezing...at least during the day.
As far as truly frozen ground...
You could do one LNT practice and smear it on a rock and pack out the tp.
Flipping over rocks works. In very rocky areas I've resigned myself to flipping over a rock that wasn't really big or deep enough, and then making a rock mound over it when I was done.

but I found your tribute to the move a log to drop a log movement to be very moving.
