Hi Rick, I'm a kayaker and also a caver. In caving we carry both solids and liquids out. I use soda bottles for liquid. For solid waste this works. You need some news paper. Lay one news paper page on the ground. Do your thing. Wrap your solids in the news paper page and put that in a ziplock. The news paper makes it easy to pick up the solids. It contains the solids. It keeps the solids out of sight which is nice. The ziplock contains the smell. I actually use two ziplocks for added protection. This may sound gross to some but if you have a hot camp fire you can throw the solids in. This does give off an odor but it does get rid of the waste. The odor lasts for half and hour or so. Burning kills any pathogens so it is environmental. If you can't burn it because of restrictions pack it out.
