Pekka, so you don't wash your ass?

[VetLegion]

I am talking about appartments, do you have this little shower near the water tank?

ofcourse not. You just use paper. And PH, I don't think they have these high tech things in Turkey, but I am sure they have them in Japan. It washes your ass automagicaly.

Oerdin, that is why muslims take it as offense if you use your left hand to greet them, or hand something to them... it is the ass wiping hand

[Pekka]

PH, hey we're kind of the same then. When I go to number two I always get number one too! I feel like we're really bonding..

I have mastered different styles of pooping in the woods when I was in the army. They're great fun . My favourite style is the 'bear hug' as I don't like squatting.
If we haven't had the time to fix a place for pooping in the woods, then you just have to wing it. I always carried my extra belt (as I had my officers belt [sgt.s had them woohoo] and my normal belt), so I'd make one big belt out of these two smaller belts. Then I'd rap it around a tree, and just loosen my knees a bit and bend back.. just lay back, the belt will keep you from not falling on your back. Now you are chilling, pooping and looking cool at the same time.

Or you can do the 'simple bear style', lean in to the tree with your back facing the tree, jsut like the bears rub their backs on trees to mark the spots. Get yourself to sitting position, but it's not that hard because you're leaning on the tree so you're legs won't have to work so hard.

I'm a proud master of many different pooping styles and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Azazel, HELL NO! What's that? I thought the french do it? I like to wipe my butt with toilet paper thank you very much.

.. in the woods though if you are stupid and not carrying extra teepee.. it's cool to use leaves and stuff like that, but it's horrible if you have the runs and there are not so much leaves around you

I think we established in another thread that Finns wipe their asses more then anybody else in Europe. Or at least they use more toilet paper then anyone else.

And I want to contribute some important info that could make the day for you. Don't eat yellow snow AND don't ever.. I mean EVER if you have to go pooping in the woods.. don't ever EVER poop on hill, or if you have to, make sure you're facing the uphill.. not downhill.

Leaves suck. It's like trying to wipe your ass with a plastic bag.

( don't ask )

The water isn't always used. but sometimes, it's VERY helpful. as someone said here: "It helps to get rid of Klingons. Think of it as an ass-phaser".

Vet: Yeah, but I still find it to be a disgusting and substandard way to live.

BTW Japan didn't have to many ass washers when I was there. Most of the newer places had western style sit down toilets but a few of the older places had the older Asian style toilet where you stand on top of it.

" don't eat yellow snow" I don't think you have to be a great outdoorsman to understand this.

You could always do the tried and true method of hugging a tree.

I live in California so I don't have to worry to much about snow, yellow or other wise.

About pooping in the wilderness, don't you just feel blessed when you have one of those arhm, hard and dry ones. No paper needed!

[Pekka]

Azazel, true.. leaves are not the best. The best is 'sammal', but I don't know what that is in english, or how to describe it. It's actually pretty good and comfortable feeling. But that's not a problem as I always carry extra teepee with me, because someone might need it and you can always use teepee from wiping your butt to doing emergency fix if you get wounded, temporarily. And in the winter times, you can use it to wipe sweat if you sweat because it's not good to sweat in cold, because later you will get super cold and freeze and DIE! So.. I like to carry extra teepee.

[Pekka]

Oerdin, yes, that is very simular to the 'bear hug', but instead of using your hands, you fix your belts so that you can relax and not use your hands. You see Oerdin, this is why I can call myself master of pooping because I already know the more advanced methods.

VetLegion, yep! It's a bless!
