Leave your pack on the ground, unravel the line (attached to your finger with zing it) and walk out to where you do business. Once done, spool it back up as you walk back to your pack.
    This way Theseus found his way back out of the infamous Labyrinth, by using the red wool thread Ariadne had handed him before.
    So now I don't know if doing your dump falls in a similar category of tasks than killing the Minotaurus?
