Brief Answer:
Could be due to changes in diet

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The color of your stool can vary with your diet. Since you are on camping, I assume that there is a deviation from your regular dietary habits and that could possibly explain the change. Unless the stool is pitch black tarry and sticks to the pan, you need not worry about it.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
