Apparently climbing the 14,192-foot peak of Mt. Shasta isn’t hard enough so rangers are making the trek that much harder by forcing everybody to shit in bags and pack their waste out.
This wouldn’t be so bad, but the wag bags (aka shit bags) they supply you with are no better than shitting in a rubber glove then tossing your crap off of the mountain. In the wag bag, you get a target – yes, you can score points while taking a shit. You shit on the target, fold it up, then put it in a paper bag with cat litter, which then goes into a 99-cent store-type zip lock.
I had to wag bag it once on a recent trip. Thankfully I had a leftover bag from Mt. Whitney. The wags you get on Whitney can handle toxic waste. My friend, Wes, held his shit ‘til after the three-day trip. I’m surprised he didn’t clog the hotel toilet.
