Poll question: Do you know how to shit in the woods?
LynneSin is proposing a camping trip. Sounds good, but do you know how to shit in the woods? It's an important skill.

1. Sorry, I have to hold it in
Till the trip's over...I'm angry and miserable by the last day, but it beats pooping in a hole.

3. You see that shovel in that picture?
Well, where the blade part of it meets the wooden handle you can just make out that there is a twisty thing there. That twisty thing lets you change the angle of the blade. Rotate the blade to a 45 degree angle and tighten it back up. Now you have a seat for one of your butt cheeks to rest on while you do your poo.

:)

Now you know.

8. They DO have camping toilets, people!
Someone just brings and extra tent and it becomes a bathroom. And we leave plenty of TP...God, you don't have to be so primitive people. We've been camping. I've made a fine art out of civilizing it. We have a Swiss air mattress, from the people who made the Swiss army knife, and all the comforts of home. I don't know what kind of camping you like to do, but my idea of roughing it is more staying in a bad motel. Not sleeping out in the wilderness. THAT we've made more comfortable than a Motel 6.

13. when we'd do white water rafting in wilderness areas "you pack it in, you
pack it out" and that includes EVERYTHING. No shovels allowed. we used .50 caliber ammo cans with plastic liners and a toilet seat. worked great, every nite you'd tie off the plastic bag and close the ammo box til you got back to civilization. Whoever lost the last nights' drinking contest had to empty them all hehehe

14. When I was a kid
my friends and I would spend weeks at a time out in the wilderness. Not campgrounds, mind you, but trackless wilderness back in the 50's when wilderness was still wilderness and you could hike for days and not see a clue that Earth had a human population.

I live out in the country. This is a small house with one bathroom. Add one father who thought he was Cary Grant and liked to take at least an hour primping before the mirror... every morning.

Yes, I can shit in the woods.

23. I shat in the woods just last Sunday
I hate it, but it's better than those poor idiots who slowly turn green over three days because they're too uptight to let it all hang out.

26. I know how.
When I go deer hunting I have a 10 gallon bucket with a toilet seat on it. I put a plastic garbage bag in it and when I'm done I tie up the bag and throw it away. Easy as shit.

27. I've been a woods-shitter since I was a young child.
This thread is too funny.

Although my camping trips are growing less frequent as the joints are less tolerant,...I still hand-pick the best quality (large) leaves for the steamy trip. :)
