:: how to toilet responsibly in the outdoors ::
13th December 2021
In this episode of Modern Outdoor Survival Richard Prideaux talks open and honestly about poo. Take this as your warning if you share this podcast with family or friends, we don’t use adult language but we are open, frank and a little graphic in this episode.
Everybody has to go at some point in the day, and if you plan on being outside for extended periods of time, then you need to also plan for the inevitable moment when you need to poop. It is worth noting that there isn’t just one method for going when outdoors, it can actually be influenced by the location you are in, your physical condition and fitness, and camp codes of conduct. There are several key things to think about and plan ahead for before drinking that extra strong coffee.
What particular guidance is given about pooping in the area you are in? Does it have to be packed out, can you bury it, or is it a smearing on the rock location?
Where exactly are you going to go? Not right next to a water source or footpath, but possibly close to a tree if you are in need of support.
How are you going to effectively clean up to limit potential hygiene issues?
