The parks are open, but the washrooms are closed. What now? 💩
So, you need to drop a deuce. Location is always key. Avoid rocky areas as you’ll need to dig. And never squat near poison ivy. That’d be a bum deal for sure.who’ve mastered the art of squatting on command have an advantage. Maybe start training now? Once you’re in the heat of the moment, out in the forest, select your private eco-friendly spot, dig a trench or hole that’s 6 to 8” inches deep , then squat and drop, as they say.
Place used biodegradable paper into the hole and cover it up. Or, better yet, place your soiled toilet tissue into a resealable bag and, in hiking parlance, “pack it out with you.”Mind the mini-poopers. Explain to children — before arriving in the park — that everyone will need to poo and pee in the outdoors. Be prepared to address the shy factor, especially with young girls.
Dig holes wider for youngsters who’ve not honed their aiming skills. Ask your child to help dig the hole, so they’ll understand what you’re doing and why. Squatting requires balance, which your youngsters may not have developed yet. Offer to hold younger ones up—or find a tree stump or fallen log for support. Try to make it fun: “Come on kids, let’s go potty in the pinery!”or wipes to wash your hands and, if necessary, private parts—along with aforementioned plastic bag to pack out your used toilet tissue. As they say, leave nothing behind but footprints.
