Backcountry Poo-Poo Clinic

[SuperScratchBros]

don't know if somebody already said that: if you're going to go on a long trekk and you know that you gonna have to clean your butt like this: shave your intimate area before you go on the trail. if you are a girl or somebody without much butthair - ignore this :)

[XcNLDefQon]

remind me not to shake hands with you XD

[wewillnevermeet]

what I learned on an expedition in Namibia is basically the same (allthough we did use toiletpaper and then burned it) and then after covering everything up, we were told to stick a stick in, so that people would know and not walk right into it  or dig it up again...

[CapitanoGUC]

i was always wondering how the red indians did there shit .... - no i got an idea ...:-D

[ExploreMan2010]

Ohh thats funny things. :-)

But if this will help so why not? Hehe

[aseglkj]

I use the 3 seashells method. It's the cleanest and fastest. I'm amazed it's not more common.

[wuestinger]

Washing your butt with your hand is pretty normal in many other countries. In fact those (turkish, arabian) cultures considered the european christians pretty dirty and disgusting because of their rather uncleanliness in this regard.

Also the LEFT hand is the one everyone there uses - that's why we all learned to use only our right one for shaking hands. The left one is the unclean hand.

[habbobaby1]

@wuestinger no, i learned that in india they use the right hand. that's why the left hand is reserved for eating. you won't see indians eating with their right hand.

[frakemus]

@habbobaby1 : i've read just the opposite ! In Asia, the right hand would be the clean one

[habbobaby1]

@frakemus you're right. i double checked it, too. the right hand is for eating. sorry!

[asciibaron]

love the BPL hat!

[kendallhclement]

Mike and Scott, you guys are hysterical!

[zacksentry]

Mike seems pretty anal about the technique.

[MyJohnsonable]

I went on a several week-long back packing expedition during my youth and we learned some of these techniques. However, one thing that is not covered that I feel that many could benefit from is this: After you go poo poo, find a large rock. Drop the rock over your poo poo to further cover it. MAKE SURE THAT THE ROCK IS LARGER THAN YOUR POO POO OR ELSE THE POO POO WILL SPILL OUT OF THE SIDES, resulting in a fecal Hurricane Katrina.

Way to recycle Tucker!

[EconoChallenge]

I was loving this video right up until the end. That is just off side dude!

You can put the baby wipes on super low in the over and dehydrate them, just add water to them on the trail, save s weight.

[jsmallwood2007]

this video is proof city folk are retarded ...just drop your pants to above your knees and shit already .common sense should tell you not to do it in a walking or water area...and people PAPER IS BIO DEGRADABLE it came from the woods in the first place lmfao ...video should be called tips for getting a chaffed sore asshole and sick while hikeing..heres some useful tips..look for a fallen log to sit on and shit facing the wind ,good as at home.. ..pack out that bear shit you find too lmfao

[danstheman3]

Depending on the circumstances, TP can actually take a year or more to biodegrade- just because something is produced from natural materials doesn't mean it breaks down instantly.

Stirring the TP i with the poop and dirt helps it break down much faster.

Also there are way more people than bears and other large animals, plus we tend to each highly processed foods, so our impact is not really comparable to that of other animals

[hoz49]

Eggzactly.The nylon nerds need help shitting in the woods.

[ref103]

my springer ate my poop once. I was walking in the woods w her and I had to go. I went and turned to call her to keep following me and she had half a log down. grossest thing i ever saw

[trailrunner733t]

The second guy is begging for e. coli or giardia using his water bottle like that. My wife's a doctor and she was appalled. You do NOT want to get either in the wilderness. It's called alcohol and TP.

Why do pugs like to eat their own poo? My mother's does the same thing.

[ihoppy]

Just how are you going to bring so much TP for a thru-hike?

[trailrunner733t]

In maildrops and town stops. I did it w/o ever having to use my water bottle or fingers.

[ihoppy]

And how much did your pack weigh w/o food + water?

[AmericanApe]

I, too, am a through hiker. And I take TP. A 4 day supply weighs just 2.5oz. You hit a town every 3-4 days on the AT, so it's not any problem at all. I would never use my hand for it, even if washing after.

[trailrunner733t]

About 9 lbs.

[jsmallwood2007]

trailrunner cant belive you got a thumbs down .... some other retard like the ones made this vid i guess lol.....better than alcohol(lighter) fold 8 or 10 babywipes the ones with lanolin or aloe to finish the jobs with nice clean NON CHAFED cheaks to hike with..and you morons that want to stir it and play with it ...shit by a rock and lay the rock on top of it already ..or lift a flap of moss and drop the flap back over it paper and all...come on use the brain god gave you...shitty conversation

[trailrunner733t]

Yeah, I don't know why the thumbs down, I was just stating a fact. Most illnesses are spread not by water, but by eating with dirty hands. Your feces is everything your body doesn't want. I don't want my water bottle anywhere near that, and I'll clean my hands after they come near it.

Yes the baby wipes are fantastic. A little heavy for my taste compared to regular TP, but if I'm going out for a short trip of 2-3 days I bring them. They're like the cadillac of TP.

[jsmallwood2007]

I still carry the tp just a couple wipes to avoid the chafing...nothing worse to screw up a hike then a sore arse lol...I take them on any long adventure,boating with no shower available or to remote hunting camps...feals like a shower after 3 days out lol...and duct tape always duct tape ...will stop any chaff or blister dead in its tracks..feal the area start to burn the tapes wearing thru just apply another piece...not a roll just wrap a couple feet around itself weighs nothing fits anywhere

[jduckett1985]

Thanks for sharing. One of the most interesting videos I've watched. Was Mike making fun of Ryan Jordan there?
