Even shitting in the woods isn't great, it's just that most people won't use the better but grosser alternative (shitting in a sealable bag).

In parks where restrooms are provided, like the Grand Canyon, shitting outside of restrooms isn't allowed. Anywhere the foot traffic gets high enough, the park service will put in restrooms and require people to use them to defecate, because the alternative is pretty bad. Even in the wilderness.
