You forgot to mention to be at least 200 ft away from water sources....

Be careful going 200 feet off the trail when you’re distracted by nature’s call. It can be hard to find your way back. A lady hiker did that on the Appalachian, got lost, and never found the trail again. RIP Geraldine. Mark your path well or even tie a 200 ft length of string to a branch by the trail or camp, so you can follow it back.

Oh man, "the starfish"! That deserves at least a link to send us in the right direction for more research. What might I have been missing out on all these years??

When are you doing the sequel? Part deuce.

Smooth rocks, sticks and leaves are just as effective.....MY ASS

Oh my gosh thank you!!! This is so hilarious and helpful for one of our friends who doesn't know how to do this!!!!!!!😄😄

Never have time to dig a hole. By then it would be too late.

When I saw those 2 dudes with linked arms, I let out a huge loud "what?!!" Thank God it wasn't recommended!!

Make sure the log doesn't have ants on it.

Freakin' awesome! Excellent work!

I prefer to dig the hole and then lay totally horizontal over it to "do my business". This is easy on the thighs and establishes that you are definitely not amphibious.

Also find your area and dig your holes when you set up camp so you aren't digging when the need arises, also eat a lot of protein so there will be less situations of splatter if you get me.

Funniest video of "how to",I've ever seen.😂

A much better idea than toilet paper, is to use Wet Wipes. Especially the flushable kind. They take up far less room in your pack than toilet paper, and are really easy to use, and clean you up faster. Carrying big rolls of TP around is a pain.

Thanks for this Video mate ! NOW i might have to cancel our camping Trip :)

I'm going camping tomorrow & I'm going to try this. I hate dumping in an outhouse or a portable crapper.

Good Job!

Changed my life

Remember to set up on the up hill side if the terrain is hilly.

Enjoy you channel. Can you do a video for someone who is visually impaired, and for their hiking friends.

this vid moved me LOL

What is the tool you are using?

Baby ( wet ) wipes or Tucks are a lot nicer then the TP and fits in a pack a lot better. Down south do not use or squat in Poison Ivy , Poison Oak , Blackberry vines or any Spanish ( Old Mans Gray Beard ) Moss ( It has Red Bugs ) that's on the ground. .

Would really like to know what the 'digging' tool is and where to get one.

Does anyone see the eye in the trees on the right of the the shirt guy talking?

We need an in-depth video on "the starfish"!

0:50 i died xddddd

Should have mentioned putting baking soda in the baggie or wrapping it in duct tape for durability/aesthetics.

Fun video! Just one important correction. You said to poop "200 feet" away from camp but it's supposed to be 200 meters/yards. That's about 600 feet, not 200.

Hold a small tree and squat! Works like a charm

Damn i start working in nature i need this ...

as a a girl I find it easier to dig the cat hole in a depression and use the edges to put my feet on. Less chance of getting..splashed. One must also be very careful how low to the ground one squats in damp bushland. Leeches...

Bring folded paper napkins as double-purpose butt wipes. Saves space, lays absolutely flat. Eat and slurp a sloppy meal, wipe your face, shirt, and hands, turn napkin inside out and store in ziplock. When needed, take out and take care of your business. DO NOT reverse this procedure! If you must take out your used TP, I say let the campfire have the chore, and stay upwind until processed ... or drop into the nearby obnoxious camper's/hiker's campfire when leaving, giving them a very interesting hot burnt food and foo smell. Hey! This is a mosquito-proofing measure. They don't want to smell it either. Keeps all wildlife away, and upwind also!

A stick !!!???... WTF.. I guess, no pain no gain ! LOL

LMAO "STAAAAARFIIIIIIISSSHHHHH!"

AND I WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR POOPING IN THE WOODS VID

What does poison ivy look like again?

hahahaahahahhahahahaha omg I can't believe you actually did a video of how to poop.. hahahha this is so helpfull and funny at the same time ... anyway, where is that place??

I normally just poop on the trail.

sticks???

oh do thats how you do it

Uhhh...wouldn't a quick primer on poison ivy be kinda important!!!!

lmao at your terminology

this is why people step on alot of human poop instead of bear poop

Busting dodo stones in the woods is hard hahah

Never thought anyone would have to make a video about this. I just grab a tree and do my thing. No big deal.

am I special enough to poop in the woods? I really wish I am

shot out to my brothers and sisters who have mastered the legendary Asian Squat

I’m doin this while I’m watching

I lean on the rocks

As long as we are 100 feet (30m) from water I think even without any sense of creativity can be done...:P If not then probably should not have left home in the first place :D

Wish id known sooner..3 days without poopN is no joke

Before squat make sure there are no ants, rattlesnakes and other vermin nearby

id be pissed if shit on my pants on accident

I give my poop a funeral

I have filthy spokes

That's why I never travel far away from the civilization

That was the shit. 👍

Also, you can also take a lighter with you and burn the toilet paper in the hole since it's not so biodegradable.

I love to leave my early morning steamy shits of hotdogs chilie beans and 20 budlights the night before for all the flies and human public to witness lol, looks like it also snowed with the 1/2 roll of toliet paper that liters around the redish/brown steam pile mountain, hope ur lucky one of these days to witness my creation lol

Now if we can just teach this to the bears, deer, and other wild animals. They just don't understand the importance of burying it.

Best way is to interlock your fingers around a tree and squat

I know how to poop in the woods, boo, boo the bear was my instructor.

why I'm watching this.

in all seriousness... funny video but not very helpful. I do not have that kind of balance or center of gravity especially with my pants at my knees. I'm likely to destroy my pant zipper. Even on a toilet with my pants at my knees it's hard to reach.

i never that id be watching how to poop videos

Conventional toilets have really screwed up the flexibility of the modern person's legs/Achilles tendon. It seems that most people quit squatting all the way to the ground when they're young children. But that's a movement humans have frequently made to defecate for hundreds of thousands of years, regardless of age. Whoever made the typical toilet design mainstream really did humans a disservice in my opinion.

nggolet kali, ngising nang kana

I just learn how to poop in wilder..yeah..

poop in a bread bag and fling it up into the tree branches. It's poop, do deer worry about it? so why should you.

I don't know how many times I've s*** out in the woods..... Ever since being a kid in the seventies and eighties. When you got a crap who carries around toilet paper with them...... Big green leaves are the best. Get a couple of them so you don't have a poke through. Or you can always take off one of your socks and wipe with that. Leave it in the woods it's biodegradable.....lol

When buffalo roamed the earth this is what they did.

oh and don't forget to wash your hands

I pee a little when I poop so I jus take my pants off

💖💕💞💓💗😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

I usually just kick it like a dog.

I'm a backpacker as well. I'm deaf and I would love to have your channel be accessible to myself and other fellow deaf/hard of hearing backpackers. Please check out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8iFltlkp8maYZs.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7GahpB9nNGXY30.html. I look forward to watching more of your future videos, as long as they're captioned! Thanks!

always pack out your top as your not smart enough to bury it.

i am on my home why im watching dis

I'm no conspiracy theorist but there are hieroglyphics near your poopie tree so I gotta ask....what's the scoop? Just a crappy joke for treasure hunters maybe?

there are no techniques, u simple don't go camping :D I never did! :D

👿

что это за хрень ?!😂😂😂

Not enough detail. Seriously. Need better explanations.
