What to do with handgun when nature calls?

I had a group of Mulies run up on me (coming from the other side of a large boulder) in the Wind Rivers near the Cirque of the Towers. I don't know which of us was more taken aback.

Part of your Go-bag/tricky bag loadout in Border Patrol was baby wipes.

I was referring to mule deer if that wasn't clear.
(As opposed to the types of mules I worked with on the job. )

I keep a pack in my go bag and I'm not even a cop

Like all other things, our things are bigger in Texas.
And... Boxers (cause it's hot here) with button flys are a PITA. Easier to unbelt.

Button Flys and Boxers - I suppose the former goes with Black Powder EDC.

About pulling pants up to your knees - how does the interact with your Idaho/ Craig Wide Stance technique. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Button fly jeans are the same, easier to start at one end and button all than start in the middle. I own one pair, bought by mistake and won’t carry while wearing then for this reason.

Lot's of good advice:

--Use the largest, most private stall or private facility available--typically a handicapped one.
--Pants generally do not go down to the ankles, since the belt can be refastened to keep them around the knees.
--If the pants do have to go all they way down, then the holstered handgun is placed in the pants crotch.
--Handgun definitely remains holstered at all times.

Can't emphasize the last part enough....handguns ALWAYS stay holstered 24/7/365 unless they are going to get used or have maintenance. Don't be taking the handgun out of the holster to utilize the head/latrine or at the end of the day--keep it in the holster and take the holster-gun combination off.

Just perused some of this thread and was surprised to see no mention of number one. YVK has a method for this that is unique.

My method is universal, numbers don't matter.

Use a stall, preferably handicapped.
Pants do not go down to the ankles, always stay around the knees.
Gun remains holstered all throughout.

This is my method with off duty carry. Glock sport/combat polymer belt slide holster with good belt stays put when legs are spread keeping everything at knee level out of sight from the adjoining stall.

I just drop trou then buckle my belt at my knee. No need to unholster.

I concur.
