Shittin’ in the rain! ♪
    #21159649 - 01/21/15 08:11 PM (9 years, 11 months ago)

When a turd drops in the forest and no-one is around to smell it, does it still stink? :strokebeard:

Despite the seemingly juvenile nature of this post, I have a serious inquiry.

How do you all go about your dirty business in the woods? Have you found a failsafe way to go about it?

Methods of squatting, leaning, Macgyver’d shitting rigs, sanitation, cleanliness essentials and wiping materials, things of that nature.
Settings as well: rain, snow, sun, forest, desert, etc.

How have you learned to improve the quality of experience and ease the excretion of bodily waste in the great outdoors?

i've heard of people at festivals bringing a bucket and just putting a bag in it to use as a shitter. twist the bag, tie it up, throw it away and put a fresh bag in

OP, I love the pic in your signature.  I have a tattoo very similar to it in the Pac. Northwest style of a salmon.  Dude, shitting in the woods is the best kind of shits!!  Some of my favorite times have been deep in the mountains in the morning after coffee and a cigarette, heading to a nice vantage point, looking at the scenery, squatting and doing the deed.  In the cold it steams, and it's awesome.  For good LNT practice, go at least 100 feet away from any trail, and at least 200 feet from any water source.  Bury it 6 inches, anymore and it won't decompose, any less and an animal will dig it up and nobody likes going for a peaceful hike and stepping on person shit.  Also, pack your TP out, burn it, or (my personal favorite, I find it more effective than TP even) use rocks!  I hang out in the desert where there's no leaves to use, and they suck anyway, too smooth.  Unless you use mullien, but that shit makes me itchy. With practice you'll find the right shape of rock that gets you cleaner than any TP could.  And when I squat, I usually put my hands behind me like I'm crab walking.  But honestly, shitting in the rain SUCKS!

Rocks!  What a great idea...kind of like an ice scraper, but for your ass :rockon: 

Catholes are my preferred method, like Ravedance said.  I just pack out my toilet paper but I may try the rock idea next time I go on a hike.  When I was at Philmont in my teens, they always instructed us to bury the TP.  I'm not sure how kosher this was, but considering it was a fairly LNT reservation I always assumed it was a correct thing to do.

I'm sure if you were somewhere with a more damp climate you could probably bury TP just fine, but in the desert it will not decompose anytime soon. And just remember, HAND SANITIZER IS NOT EQUAL TO SOAP!!  I use Dr. Bronners because it's biodegradable, but there's something about the friction of the suds that is why soap cleans better (that's what the doctor told us when 9 of us really smelly, dirty, sick people came in to the doctor in Tucson).  I took a wilderness survival type course, and we just brought hand sanitizer, by the end of the 3 months in the wilderness, almost everyone (except for one lucky bastard, but he ate all kinds of rotten food and never washed himself, his immunity must've been through the roof) got REALLY sick, puking and shitting our brains out, and getting pink eye and stuff. It was nasty. Not to mention that when poop is the cause of you being sick, having explosive liquid poop that you can't hold in doesn't make the situation any better.

Nice, yeah the spine of the salmon is supposed to be Wy'east (Mt. Hood) and the blue the Sandy River running down from its heights. Its the logo of some fishing group off that river.

I'm very familiar with LNT practices and usually burn my TP immediately.
Basically just looking for some veteran shitting ideas, lol. Refined technique.

I think my best nature turd was a warm summer evening on a massive river bank, squatting there listening to crickets and staring at the night sky, a warm breeze moving through the cottonwoods, pulling the stink of shit away from me and filling my nostrils with the scent of the lush vegetation. It was around maybe a week before the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, so the night sky was aglow with burning meteors.
Best shit of my life actually now that I think about it.

What I like to do if possible is dig my hole against a not too large fallen log when I can, enough to have a seat, but not so large I cant hang my ass and junk over the back. Stop the knees of my long ass legs from locking.

I've gotten into the habit of carrying baby wipes for me when its raining.
I had a particularly bad experience where it was the classic PNW almost freezing temps with rain, just fucking miserable. And I luckily found a tipped tree to put my back against, but my shit was sloppy and the rain was disintegrating my toilet paper, no moss about.
It was an enraging mess. :facepalm:

i live on the edge of a HUGE forest thousands of square miles and over the years i've learned to find a tree on a slope if possible, stand on the uphill side and put ur back against it, slide down so ur sitting propped against it and shit away, gravity will allow piss or diarhea to flow back away from ur ankled pants. burn tp or bury it as long as its a forest. if no soap scrub ur hands with dirt, gravel, sand, whatever and try to grind off anything u can.

My ex girlfriend had a farm but the porta-loo was blocked, so she told me to just go into the woods with a shovel. I'm not exactly alien to having a shit outdoors, but it was to be my very first shit in the woods, so I determined to find the 'perfect spot' and have the 'perfect shit'.

I found a tree which had fallen over, and was raised out the ground at the exact perfect height/angle/width for having a shit. I dug a hole in the ground, perched my arse off the edge of the tree, and shit perfectly into the hole. Then I simply filled the hole with 'soil' (from the ground), covered it with leaves, and left the forest feeling confident that this was certainly not only the 'perfect spot' but also the 'perfect shit'.

I can only hope that my enthusiasm was shared by the man working for the Forestry Commission who I encountered as I was leaving the forest.

It's hard to explain, but the only reason I can imagine him being in the position he was, and walking in the direction he was, at the time that he was, is because he'd been walking through the woods, probably his usual patch, only to encounter me hanging over the edged of a fallen tree having a shit into a hole in the ground, and had made a b-line out of his intended direction so that he didn't have to encounter me. It turns out I'd wandered into Forestry Commission land in order to find the 'perfect spot'.

I simply gave him a courteous 'alright mate' and was on my way.
