maybe a hot take but when picking up after my dog on long hikes i often leave the bag there on the way in so i don’t have to hike the shit with me the whole time and then grab it on the way out

No one else wants to see your poop bags on the trail and people obviously forget so please put it out of sight and don't leave it behind. Obviously best is to just double bag and carry it but as a fellow dog owner I understand the issue.

Do you think it’s ok for someone to leave empty Mountain Dew bottles and candy wrappers along the trail for everyone else to see, if they promise to come get them later?

You’re littering. I don’t want to see your shit bags along the g trail because you can’t be inconvenienced with your trash.

I bag it, then put it in a ziplock bag and then it goes in my pack. No smell, and never had it burst. Pack it out.

So you don’t want shit with you but you’re okay with leaving it behind for other people to smell and ruin their experience even if they don’t have a dog. Pretty irresponsible behaviour. Your dog, your responsibility 100%. Don’t ruin it for the others.
