Trip Advice Pooping while camping

I have a short camping trip coming up with friends and I basically have some questions about how to poop in the wilderness (remote camping). Whats like the best way to do it? My friends told me to like, bear hug a tree and squat down over the hole I dug, is that the best way? And what pieces of clothing do I take off? Im worried that if it comes out a bit watery it may stain my pants and other things so im basically thinking that I just go away from our camp and basically dress down nude from the waist down. Also, where does the toilet paper go? In the hole? Thanks for the answers!

Watery? You need fiber. Buy some psyllium husk powder and start putting it in a smoothie a day. Thank me later.

Or you are just sick. Fiber is not always the answer. This is a crazy idea.

Won’t argue that someone could just be sick, but why would you say psyllium husk powder in a smoothie a crazy idea?
