I had originally bought this book for my uncle Dan, who, when we went camping, would leave our cabin, strip down to his birthday suit, take a nature walk and end it by "communing with nature", " visit ing Mrs. Murphy", "seeing a man about a horse" or my personal favorite, "using Nature's outhouse". I paged through it initially expecting little in the way of a captivating read but I loved the hilarious personal experiences of trial and error and how passionate the author seemed to be about the prospect of other folks re-discovering this lost "art". I've never attempted this feat myself but I feel confident that if I ever found myself feeling a bit braver on one of our family camping trips or in a situation where there were no bathroom facilities, I would have all of the tools and techniques required to handle "the call of nature"....in nature. Pick this book up if only to keep on your bookshelf and amaze your friends with your prowess of outdoor survival skills (even if it's not technically a survival skill it'll make the prospect of having to survive on grubs and rainwater more appealing without dookie on your pants.)Read full review
This is a good read. And frankly a must read for anyone who has the need to crap in the woods. Even if you think you already know how, I promise you'll learn things you didn't know in this book. This is a delicate subject, but rest assured the author handles it in a mature straight forward approach with just enough humor to keep you from fidgeting in your seat. The author covers every aspect, from leaving it in the woods, to packing it out, doing with TP, and the enviromental implications of doing your duty.
Dig a hole. Take a dump. Wipe with whatever is nearby. Cover with dirt. in 500 words. I didn't sign up for hours of dump history. To be fair, it is a well-written book if you are really into the subject.

It addresses a very delicate issue that we all find we're in while hiking on trails, rough camping, etc.in a very humorous way. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!!!

I have given away dozens of the paperback to people that camp and those that don't. The best part for me are the definitions at the end.

This book politely covers all you need to know. I am a ex-wilderness guide and purchased this one for my girlfriend/favourite camping buddy. A trusted resource for many years.
