[pct-l] The Pleasures of Pooping in the Woods

[Hernandez]

Four things I appreciated about "passing" in the woods:

1. The fact that I wasn't spoiling 3 gallons of fresh water per "visit."
(well, 1.5, since I recently got an EPA recommended toilet.) 
2. It gave me a good reason to actually stop and take a break.
3. Mule Ear, to get the cleanup started and save on TP.
4. A poo with a view.

I am a plumber so this topic is dear to my heart.. HaHa!
Actually, I really do miss this particular "freedom" of the trail.
Much to the delight of family and friends when I relate the
simplicity,ease,and elan that comes frombowel movement in th backcountry.
Hey, It ain't just me!Other hikers noted how awkward it was, when upon
reaching town, and actually having to find a potty.
Hey, in the woods there is no cold seat.
You barely have to rouse from slumber to do a number!
As far as TP well if you do more than PP the moss that grows on rocks will
do.. Ditto sticks and smooth stones.
Yes it is true, I never carried a single sheet of TP along the PCT. Just my
way of showing my love!
Ha!
Cheers Y'all Iceaxe
