I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

"However, recent studies indicate that a greater depth, between 48 and 72 inches (1219 to 1829 millimeters), is more effective."

:rock:
"For example, in locations where geysers or other sub-strata eruptions are common, the increased cathole depth results in greater soil stability, making it far less likely that deposits will be dislodged, or even sent airborne."
