"There aren’t bathrooms— and yes, pooping in the desert is a misdemeanor."
No, it is not, as long as you follow specific BLM rules and regulations. At least 100 feet from any watershed location, buried a minimum of 18 inches, etc...
So much for the tour guide having any real knowledge. I actually get paid for doing licensed trips into the desert for collecting rocks.

The "tour guide" and you are likely equally knowledgeable. If you applied any common sense you would realize the "tour guide" is almost certainly not referring to people digging catholes or carrying out. Just what do you think all those tourist coming by car, bus, etc are likely to do when nature calls? Do you really have any doubt he is referring to the abundant visible sh*t and toilet paper (or whatever was used to wipe)?
As a steward of the land, it is not only my responsibility to know the regulations, but to speak ABSOLUTELY HONESTLY about them. This guide did no such thing and thus demonstrates his lacking knowledge. He also took something without verifiable proof that it didn't have permission to be there. None was ever shown in the video.
Tour guide is just a pompous ass, like me, just more than I am.
Speaking honestly would include noting that Tour Guide is likely only referring to the visible sh*t and is therefore absolutely accurate about misdemeanors.
What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expect generally happens.
