This is a good question...
Rangers will more likely check your permit tag than your WAG bag. If they catch you in the act, then you have some explaining to "doo." No pun intended.
In all of my times on the MWT, I have never, repeat, never used a WAG bag when they were first issued.
All of my hikes have been dayers, and my #2 system goes into shutdown mode during my 22. #1 is copious/clear, #2 never happened. Must be the altitude burn or the pucker factor.
For one, I don't eat much on the way up. I nibble on the way down. That is just me.
...forensic scientists on special assignment from the National Park Service go out onto the trail and check samples of poop left on the trail or in wag bags discarded by the side of the trail...
Foresnic fecal anal-ysts? Oh, pooh...no such thing. Now, where is my TP?
