Book: Kathleen MEYER - How to Shit in the Woods

My note: 4,5/5

How to Shit in the Woods, Environmentally Approach is first of all a funny book. Kathleen MEYER did her best to get the book written in an enjoyable fashion. The 132 pages book is easy and fast to read.

This is a book where the author really get involved, and practiced everything that she's writing. I especially like the last chapter, for girls only, giving us tip on what position adopt to pee in the woods without wetting our pants or flooding our boots :)

I started the training young enough, when I was a scout girl, to be able to pee without having to really sit down. But I understand that women without the thigh strengh are kind of in trouble if they must pee in the woods :) Girls, I bet you'll love this chapter !!

I learned a lot of things too, in particular the one that it takes more than one year for our poo to biodegrade, and it degrades faster if buried. So get your shovel and dig a small hole before you get into action ! And don't rinse your hands directly in the river as I was doing, it's contaminating the water with fecal viruses, which can end up in your glass of water without filtering and get you sick !

And don't leave the paper away ! Pack it out or burn it :)

A book full of advice, talking of our disgusting needs with a frivolous tone :)
