Learn how to use the Crap Carrier and Sh*t Kit for hands-free poop bag carrying on off-leash walks. Step-by-step setup, refill, and trail tips.
Quick answer
To use the Crap Carrier and Sh*t Kit on off-leash walks, attach the carrier to your leash handle, load it with up to four knotted bags, and refill the dispenser from the kit before you head out. The carrier keeps full bags on your gear, not in your hand, so you can manage the leash and your dog.
Why off-leash walks need a different poop bag setup
When your dog is off-leash, your hands are busy with recall, treats, and managing the leash for safety. A standard dispenser holds empty bags, but full bags become a problem—you either carry them or leave them behind, which defeats the purpose of cleaning up. The Crap Carrier solves that by giving full bags a dedicated spot on your leash handle. The Sh*t Kit is the supply side: a year’s worth of bags plus the holder and carrier, so you are not restocking every week.
Crap Carrier vs Sh*t Kit: which one do you need?
The Crap Carrier is a small silicone accessory that wraps around your leash handle and holds up to four knotted poop bags. It is for anyone who already has bags and a dispenser but needs a hands-free way to pack out full bags. The Sh*t Kit is a bundled supply: 10 regular boxes of bags, 2 Santa Paws boxes, a poop bag holder, and a Crap Carrier. Choose the kit if you want a full year of bags and the carrier in one purchase; choose the carrier alone if you already have a bag supply and just need the carrying solution.
Step-by-step: setting up and using your carrier and kit
- Attach the Crap Carrier to your leash handle: Wrap the silicone carrier lengthwise around your leash handle, as recommended, so it sits flat and does not twist. Common mistake: attaching it to the clip end instead of the handle, which puts the carrier in your dog’s way and makes it harder to reach. Check that the carrier is secure and does not slide when you tug gently.
- Load the carrier with knotted bags as you walk: After you pick up, knot the bag and tuck it into the carrier. It fits up to four knotted bags. Common mistake: stuffing unknotted or overly full bags, which can slip out or make the carrier bulky. Knot first, then load. Keep the carrier to four bags max and empty it at the next trash can.
- Refill your poop bag dispenser from the Sh*t Kit: Open one of the regular boxes from the kit and load a roll into your poop bag holder. Keep spare rolls in your pack or car so you are never caught without. Common mistake: waiting until the dispenser is empty to refill—check it before every off-leash walk. Store spare rolls where you will see them when grabbing your leash.
- Pack out full bags on the trail: When hiking, keep full bags in the Crap Carrier until you reach a trash can. Do not leave bags on the trail to grab later—the carrier exists so you can pack them out easily. Common mistake: assuming a trailhead will have a bin; carry bags until you find one. Plan your route with a trash can in mind, or be prepared to carry bags the whole way.
