How to Poop in the Woods (or Desert)
OK .. For those of you like DaRuDe and Rizks who love going exploring and rambling .. There's now a book to teach you how to properly "poop" in the wilderness..
"How To Shit In The Woods" by Kathleen Meyer is a popular guide that gives the rundown on how to relieve yourself in the great outdoors. Oh, and ladies, there's a way to go without getting it all over your shoes.
"In a lot of ways, I think sh--ting in the woods is a lost art," Meyer told AOL News. "We've lost a lot of those squatting muscles that humans used to have when we were hunters and gatherers. It's a skill that takes some time to master."
Another practical and popular method is "packing-it-out," the eco-friendly practice of capturing and transporting your fecal matter so it's not left behind in the woods.
Read the full article - Its interesting ...

Ewww! Not good after supper topic ...
Soooo... we need to be well-versed in botany so that we know which leaves and plants we can use in lieu of tissue. A poison ivy would be a very bad idea... :P
I think Darude piss on the poop, to cover up the smell.. LOL
so polka, since you have seen those people relieving themselves in public, I can safely assume they do not mind an audience?
Ahoy there!....clear the decks for action!....Man the poop!....stand by to haul the wind!
I would say tissue/bottled water are luxury if you go trekking in mountains and mind you - freezing temperature.
The Tissue I will bury in the hole with the poop and the bottle can be disposed off in a trash bag or container.
Bottle of water and tissues are not eco-friendly or bio degradable. how would you dispose of them ?
I have done this atleast 10 times in India. And I found this more satisfactory than having to use these dirty squatting toilets in Qatar...which I never used during my stay. Thank God Qatar is small...one can always come back to home or office if nature calls!
If you are digging a cat hole and pooping outdoors then why not take some tissue and a bottle of water. Once you wipe it off then use the water too. And Always have soap strips in your wallet.
Congrats Tinkie, Even my three year old girl has noticed your new pic!"Tinker bell has a new small pic" she pointed!
On the topic, The said text might reach kindergarten level with Indians who have developed s***ing in public to an economically viable art. Ref any snap from Mumbai, on it's electric train routes, early in the morning and it will put self proclaimed s**t gurus like Kathleen Meyer to shame!
... and to those who want to clean themselves after a public appearance, all it takes is "lotta"[a very small round pot]of water, even a 1/2 liter bottle of mineral water would suffice.[deducted by observing the 'Railway Liners']
She says nothing about frozen lakes though.
What a nice topic!
Poop for charity!
A montesouri poop school wouldnt be a bad idea with a poopmaster teaching ancient poop history :)
I try to educate and bring the community together and FOR WHAT :o(
Thats it!...Dis is the last i am calling me parents POPsie and Momsie ... :(
Besides, there are enough toilets around to practice squatting and aiming....those which are holes in the ground.
Euwwwwww.
and agree with Khattak.
Sticks and stones may scratch your c.o.jones, but the woods, they just turneth you on...
i know britey is hungry now, here britey a Poop-Nobs digestive biscuits for you buddy ! :)

I was walking through the graveyard this morning when I saw Rizks crouching behind a gravestone.
"Morning!" I said.
Rizks replied, "No, just having a poop."
at least you are not hurting any sentiments with this talk isnt it?
britey, hav u heard the saying : A Poop in times saves nine.....:)
LOL .. Can't believe that you guys are discussing this

They should visit our villages, it is definitely not a lost art
britey i have a trip planned to the Woods i mean to Amazon Jungle to strecth my muscles....:)
Are you busy this weekend..
Perhaps a trip to the desert to work on those "squatting muscles" is in order.. Bring along Mangal Pandey if you wish ..
Reduce using Toilet papers and Save the Trees/ Plants...:(
Yes, brit. And trees have to be cut for the paper!
Oh for goodness sake...
The toilet paper will have to be left behind. this causes not only waste, but a hazard to the plant and animal life whilst increasing the carbon footprint :O(
what a natural way of doing things. Enjoy the surroundings when you take a break :)
Look.. Please lets not go into the direction of a lady walking out of the river in a wet saari clinging tightly to her shapely body ...
Is it getting hot in here ?? :O(
This is a serious subject taking into account environmental issues... But some on QL have debased it..
By the way, ladies can practice in the shower before venturing out into the real world...
thread ;)
Good Morning!!
Khattak..spot on.
Rizks, if you buy an "original" dish dash (thobe) you will notice that the left pocket is open and not closed. Why? You can't keep anything in it, but you can grab 'through'. Think about it.
Just use a slightly raised up ground and then do, slide, get up and go...:)
How about bum to bum rub with you Da ? :)
Of course, brit. I lived a couple of years in the great desert with Bedous.
why all this headache just sit tight on the ground and rub hard.
LP i will use my left hand to wipe ur tongue so tat u stop talking about Religion in every topic.....:)
There are people who need to learn doing it in the Toilet, first.
You are obviously familiar with the lifestyle of the Toureg :o)
Rizks, use your LEFT hand. (Do you understand now why the left hand is considered 'unclean' in Islam?) It's a desert religion.
RofL on cars hot radiator water.....:)
ahh i can use my body fit T-shirt if required !
and walk around in the woods showin my 6 packs Abs...:)
use your cold water cooler
or your car's hot radiator water
She tells you to use leaves (but not poisonous ones), pine cones or stomnes ..
DaRuDe wot happened to you today ?
You sound so illogical...:)
wat if no beaches,sea or Waterfall around ?
wot to do then yani ? :(
then just go down to the beach get in the water deep and do all you want there and then there is plenty of water.
Poopin in woods is fine but what about if no water available around to wash ? :(
Wot to use ?
Now dont tell me to use dry scattered leaves fallen on the ground? :(
every one will have a good morning today after reading this topic how to pack and how to squat
You sad, naive city dweller you..
The secret is to use Jamal as cover and squat behind him :o)
I saw her day before yesterday.Somebody opened his/her's car front door and back door and sitting in between doing it...
after seeing Kethleen Meyer one will surely poop in their pants.....:(
oh and by the way britey, make sure when u poop in desert Mr. Jamal is not around....:)
topic
thank you for dedicating it to us.
now you better learn the manners of pooping in desert and dont get caught again on road like last time when you were sitting by road side and the police thought you were sick and came to help you but found something else.
