Dig hole, take off pants/undies, squat, poop (if you can find a downed tree to sit on above the hole then even better).
Put a dab of camp suds on your finger and then pour a liter of water down over your asshole and groin area, while washing with your bare hand.
It's gross the first few times you do it but you get over it really quickly. It leaves your asshole extremely clean (which is a huge deal when hiking long days), but will probably leave your fingers stinking. Wash hands w/ suds and water or grab a handful of pine to rub your hands in. This will make your hand smell like pine, I promise.
More importantly, it doesn't put toilet paper into the hole or privy. The toilet paper takes longer to decompose than shit. When it rains heavily, catholes will wash out and often times toilet paper will end up littering the area.
This makes me so fucking mad. Nothing is more disgusting than seeing other people's used toilet paper littering the side of the trail or the grounds around a shelter/designated camping area.
