Poop in the Woods Club by Vicki Somma via Flickr
Camping season is upon us. Most of the places where you can camp are properly equipped with a latrine, outhouse, biffy or some other place for you to do your business, there are times when one is in nature when nature calls and no proper facility exists. It is time to poop in the woods. Thank fully Bryan Hansel is here for us to walk us through the proper way to poop in the woods.

Should U.S. Border Patrol agents be allowed to harass campers in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness? They have.
Imagine you’re three days into that wilderness trip you’ve been dreaming about all winter. Deep solitude. Over the ridge, a low-flying helicopter appears. Its sound hits you first, engine screaming, rotors thumping the air, their whop-whop-whop reverberating off mountain walls. As the chopper draws closer and begins circling, you stare eye-to-eye with a heavily armed, goggled and ear-muffled pilot.
Carl Martin and his pals know how to have a good time in the wilderness. “This is a video of highlights from our annual trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on the border of Minnesota and Canada,” he writes. The group’s 2011 video can be seen here.
Tip of the hat to Bob Collins who posted this video on 5×8.
