Most outdoor books available in English fall prey to Victorian sensibilities and fail to mention one to the most serious issues encountered in trekking around the countryside. Kathleen eyer, river-runner and longtime outdoorswoman, corrects this oversight in How to Shit in the Woods.

Kathleen eyer, river-runner and longtime outdoorswoman, corrects this oversight in How to Shit in the Woods. What was once instinct now needs to be learned. 'Until roughly ten years ago, no one ever considered it unsafe to drink directly from mountain streams. You could stretch out on the bank of a high mountain meadow creek and just push your face into the water to drink. No longer can we drink even a drop before purifying it without running the risk of getting sick.'
With more people in the outdoors than ever, it is important that each of us knows how to take care of our own waste. First thing - you can't be put off by the title. This is another book that I picked up at a gun show and, honestly, I don't think I would have bought it in a 'normal' bookstore. The author isn't going for 'shock value' - she has a very humorous preface detailing the anguish she went through in trying to pick a title that conveyed her subject and the seriousness with which she treats her subject.

Meyer states that she felt that all euphemisms for 'doing your business' were distracting and honestly unnecessary. I disagree with most of what I hear from the 'greens' but this book is actually useful and practical. Meyer wrote it because in her own camping experiences she quickly saw that she (and her city friends) were pretty clueless when it came to taking care of one of the most basic human needs - how to take a dump outdoors without getting a turd in your boot. One lesson that all of us could take from this is 'If you pack it in, then pack it out' (or if you're too sqeamish to do that) know what to do with your waste so the area will be unspoiled for the next person that comes along. This book can be summarized thusly: Dig a hole for your shit, away from water or your camp.
If you can't dig a hole, put it in a baggie and pack it out. Wash your hands. She doesn't talk about the decomposition process, or give any supporting evidence for her methods, or even any handy tips for dealing with carrying around baggies of poo for a week. She advocates peeing by sitting on a rock and then propping your feet up on another rock - not a bad method, if you want to spend 20 minute This book can be summarized thusly: Dig a hole for your shit, away from water or your camp.

She advocates peeing by sitting on a rock and then propping your feet up on another rock - not a bad method, if you want to spend 20 minutes looking for appropriate rocks rather than just copping a squat!
All of this would be fine, I guess, except that then she gets into all this fear mongering bs about how women shouldn't sit on public toilets. Dude, unless you are in the habit of licking the seats, you'll be fine.
Standing or squatting just leaves the seat splattered with pee for the next person to encounter - at least she could have advised standing pissers to lift the seat! I have known of this book for 20 years and always been curious. Of course, it is a rather limited audience, but for those of you who backpack, canoe camp, or otherwise hit the wilderness outside of pit-toiletville, the topic of this book is really very serious and important. Written in a friendly straightforward manner (as evidenced by the author's carefully described argument as to why it was important to say 'shit' instead of beating around the bush with a more polite turn of phrase), this boo I have known of this book for 20 years and always been curious.

Of course, the book usually shows up in jokey novelty shops - but it actually tain't no joke.
If you spend any time at all in the great out of doors, you'll need to know how to properly use the bathroom. The author has researched all of the various methods - packing it out, burying it, etc. And has presented the results of her research in a clear, concise, and occasionally amusing book.

I didn't see anywhere listed that this was an audio book.
I would have never gotten an audio book. I detest audio books.
So bear that in mind when reading this review. The author begins the book with the history of how the 3rd edition came to be (a bit boring) and why she thought this was the best title (okay?!). She then sets out to give her reasoning for writing the book with several amusing stories of people and their 'accidents.' She then proceeds to explain how and where to properly use the bathroom in the wild. I had hoped for way more funny than I actually received. The reader's voice was amusing, but the content was just way to wordy. If I'd been reading a paper book I think I could have skimmed and would have been a lot less glassy eyed when I finished.
In summery, I wouldn't recommend the audio book. But the paper book might be worth a skim for the avid outdoors men who wants to hear the pros and cons of poop in the woods. I received this book free of charge from Goodreads in exchange for my honest review. Required reading if you have to 'go' outdoors! To the uninitiated, the art of having a dump in the woods probably seems no more complicated than 'squat, squint, squeeze and squeegee'!

But, alas, as the world shrinks and the use of the world's limited wilderness terrain by outdoor adventurers increases to the limit of the land's ability to withstand the stress of that use, it's just not that simple. When considerations such as ecology, weather, temperature, privacy, courtesy, hygiene, biodegradation, density of camping use in an area, terrain and so on are factored into the decision as to where and how to complete the necessary feat, all is not as simple as it would seem. The methods one should choose are as varied as the terrains one might choose to visit and the times of year in which those choices are made.
How to Shit in the Woods is a book that should be read by EVERY person who would choose to venture into the out of doors - whether you want to spend a weekend at the local campground or you're a hardcore toughened backwoodsman heading out into the bush for a week long solo canoe trip in Canada's northern boreal forest! Be prepared for lots of silly toilet humour, hilarious anecdotes concerning toilet misadventures, lots of tongue-in-cheek jokes, a good number of belly laughs and a very earthy delivery to be sure - but the message ultimately is entirely serious and well worth the read! There is very little humorous when it concerns encountering the leavings of someone who trod the trail in front of you. Highly recommended for campers of all stripes, sexes, ages and experience levels. This book is entirely shit. In fact, it's practically an encyclopedia of shit.
Having received it in audiobook format, I can certainly recommend to forego this work over your lunch hour.

However, at any other time this is a hilarious, entertaining, and instructive narrative of a serious issue faced by the outdoor enthusiast.
The book starts with instructions from the Lord himself who seemingly has an opinion on every human endeavor: 'Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad: And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.' Deuteronomy 23:12-14 While I disagree with most of the shit that the Lord says, probably not a bad idea. Aside from the immature comedy the work also contains contemporary issues for waste disposal and etiquette in the wilderness which can be a problem in highly trafficked areas. It's funny, it's important, and it's worth reading if you're a naturalist, an environmentalist, or a sportsman.

My husband and I listened to it in the ride up to the Adirondacks to go do just what the title suggests-well, backpacking. I listened to the rest on the way back and forth from work.
I got this audiobook mainly for work to help to leave no trace and outdoor ethics. It is extremely humorous and you must be comfortable with the word shit. The author actually does a lot to explain exactly why she has chosen this word instead of other to convey her purpose. Anyway, This book is exactly what it says.

Anyway, this book contains a wealth of information for anyone who might find themselves having to go without a conventional toilet-hikers, backpackers, white-water rafters, kayakers, canoers, horseback riders and military personnel. Shared through personal anecdotes and other's stories about mishaps in the field, you will not feel alone in your trials.
The best information is about different ways to actually go about your business, methods for being environmentally responsible and packing out. There is also quite a bit of information about treating water and giardia. The women's only sections is particularly useful, though I already use a Go Girl. There is a ton a product information in here and on the audiobook, that got a little boring to listen to, but is important if you are still trying to find the best way to shit in the woods.

It's very informative, and vastly amusing. I recommend it highly to anyone who intends to spend any time in the woods at all.
Her explanation of how to shit in the woods was not as interesting as the WHY we need to think, plan for our next shit in the woods.

I've never done a rafting trip, but if ever I do, I will pack one of those little foldable toilets which come with a set of bags, and the inner one is pulled out and tied off when you prepare to leave. You carry it to the next site, of course. Might even let others use it.
Locally, I've never carried a digging tool - only TP, so must change my ways. Too much information??? I received this book as a gift in a 'secret sister' exchange. After plotzing over the title, I opened it up while spending a week at the cottage (seem appropriate). Much of the content is written with an eye towards the more ecologically sensitive portions of the western part of this continent, but having spent a camping weekend in central Ontario in July rife with it own hygenic challenges due to recent heavy rainfall I found the book rather insightful.

It opened my eyes to some issues involving human waste in the wild which I honestly in all my years of camping never thought about and it provided clear, helpful suggestions for addressing them. Also for what to do when that campground's outhouse is just too awful to contemplate. This is an easy book to read, but there's not a great deal of useful information: it all comes down to 'bag it up', i.e.
Bring your mess home with you rather than leaving it on/in the ground. There is a list of suitable containers, but most of the companies are based in the USA so it's not very helpful to a UK reader. The author spends a lot of time explaining why it's a bad idea to contaminate your surroundings, but I'm happy to accept that premise and move on.

I love the sense of humor the author brings to the subject matter. Unfortunately I think she may be preaching to the choir because anyone who goes out of her way to read this book is not likely to leave a wad of brown-streaked paper at the base of a tree. Also it would be nice if the author put out another edition to cover some of the newer methods enacted in places like Zion and other major national parks.

I was telling him that my husband was making fun of me for not wanting to go 'balls-out' camping because I hate not having a bathroom (we only go to campgrounds). He thought this would help, which it did in that it made me laugh hysterically and if I do indeed get stuck in the middle of the woods or desert in the near future, I will know what to do. Also, the best part of this book, is the glossary of words at the back. I w This was a recommendation from my coworker, who is an avid outdoors-man.

I was giggling so hard I snorted and teared up. It's a good read ladies!
