Trail habits off the trail

Just curious, but do THRU-HIKER’S continue to squat to sh*t once out of the woods?

It is my understanding the two thirds of the world’s population squats to sht! I squat all the time to sht! Hell, when I’m at work and I feel nature calling, I get my small trowell, my bag of T.P., and make for the pine beds in the front of my office…

I sqaut to pee, too! - somethin’ I read about enlarged prostrates…

Any other trail habits off the trail…?

Mildly humorous, but mostly just gross. Do we really have a driving need to discuss bathroom habits away from the trail on this forum?

that due to my hikings, I squat all the time! I scurry around like some kinda crab - or maybe a drunken beetle.
I sold my car a while back and hike to work on the side of the local highway. I found out after a while that the locals were calling me “Crab Thing” on acconts of my walkin mannerisms.

I was gonna go on fer a while about my fecal habits, but Jonnas post got me feelin all awkword. Alls good with the plummin though.

I didn’t realize there was an alternative to crouching. Silly me. So, what do other guys do off-trail? Do the 2 standing up??

Sounds messy.

:eek:

Dawg is not the only person interested in this topic. There is a good book called How to S**t in the Woods. You can pick up a copy on amazon. It even has a chapter for women called How not to Pee in Your Boots.

Squat?!?! you animals.
I find it’s worth the time constructing a toilet out of rocks, sticks, logs…whatever I can find. Just cause I’m out in the woods doesn’t mean I still can’t enjoy that “special” time of the day.

I really do think that we’ve beaten the bathroom habit discussion to death.

I’m sure there are other habits that people have taken off the trail with them.

I still get the urge to camel up when I am getting a glass of water.

Ever since I completed my hike, I find myself constantly rummaging around the house looking for unnecessary junk to toss away. It’s like looking through my backpack and getting rid of extra items that I don’t need to lighten the load.

i, too, stand in front of the sink for a while drinking a glasses of water. the concept of “water on tap” is still a thing i appreciate since being back. also, i still find it extremly satisfying to roll my own cigarettes. that was one of my favorite things to do at shelters in the evening. very relaxing. *is anyone more comfy sleeping in their backyard than in their bed? or is that just weird?:smiley: p.s. i read that book, carmax, at Four Pines in Catawba last summer. hilarious!:lol cheers everyone
