Obviously this can't be done in dry/fire conditions, but then you shouldn't have a campfire then either.

I don't know how much TP others use, but unless there is a fire ban in effect or your cat hole of choice is in a dry spot, I can't see how ANY fire risk can come from burning a few pieces of facial tissue ( my TP of choice, stronger and you use less) in a cat hole?

I've never dug a hole in a spot that wasn't damp/moist and after burning I replace soil, tamp down with foot and mark to warn others.

Takes 3 things for fire, fuel/air/heat. My method eliminates 2 of them.

I have no issue with people putting TP in a designated fire pit if that makes them feel safer doing it, but from the amount of TP that sometimes is left unburned in fire pits, I can only assume they think it will just burn when the next poor SOB uses the camp spot.

Not a fan of finding a dirty fire pit but unburned aluminum foil/ food wrappers are one thing, poo paper is another.

I can speak for others but since that fire pit is also used as a cook spot by many and that may include grilling fish or reflecting oven baking, the idea of using the same spot as a incinerator for bodily waste doesn't hold much appeal too me, no matter how remote the chances of unburned fecal matter being left to contaminate your campsite meal. :P

Don't nock something unless you tried and mastered it.
