On short trips with just one or two people, it works OK to bring a few 
kitchen-sized plastic bags, defecate into them, seal the results in the bag 
(you can make 2 or 3 folds of the bag by twisting it and turning it 
ins-de-out after each twisted "seal") and carrying it out. The major downside 
to this is, of course, that the bag and its contents will eventually wind up 
in somebody's landfill. 

But - be aware that no matter how thick you bag is, how many thicknesses of 
that thick bag, it WILL stink. Sad but true - but also better than leaving 
anything behind.
