ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

WAG bag

Okay, kiddo, have you ever gone camping or hiking? When you're out in the wilderness, there are no bathrooms like we have at home. That means when nature calls, you have to go outside and find a spot to do your business. But we don't want to leave a mess out there, do we? That's where the wag bag comes in.

A wag bag is a special bag that you can use to, um, go number two. It's like a portable toilet that you can take with you! When you're done, you put your business into the bag, along with some special powder that makes everything solid and stops it from smelling bad.

Then, you tie up the bag really tightly so that nothing can leak out, and you pack it out with you. That means you carry it in your backpack until you can find a trash can or other designated disposal area.

It might sound kind of icky, but it's really important to take care of our earth and keep it clean. Using a wag bag is one way to do that when we're out in the wilderness.
