squat like this

“This is how I do it.

”

“The feet are slightly more than shoulder width apart. Hamstrings are resting against the calves.

No balancing, no teetering. Just relax and let your feet support your weight.”

“Where is the poop?”

“yep that is what my knee does not like when it is swollen and it usually is when backpacking.. but I'll "hang" in there till I've invented the perfect poop swing!”

“dude, I never get in a hurry when I poop. I just relax and let nature take it's course.”

“Is that all ya got? a pebble?”

“My Ass is Killing me.

”

“Arg!”

“Damn! ROTFLMAO”

“bacbac, I think I love you. well, at least your art!”

“Cindy,

Love me when you are examining your square foot of earth during your daily ablutions.

I aim to please. You aim too, please.”

“The question is, How do you get your knees to re-flex to a standing position, without damage, after contemplation is complete?”

“LOL!!! maybe you aren't suppose to ever get up agin... think of the looks you'ld get going down a trail in that position! LOL!!!”

“Make sure your facing uphill”

“Dude;
If I squatted like that my knees would be forever locked in that position.
ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.”

“Hmm. Tried, but I keep having to stay on the balls (of my feet) else I fall backwards.

Into poop, this is no good.”

“i did it like that last week. my first poop(s) in the woods. My feet were gettin numb though and its hard to get up. But its the only way i could think of.”

“My, ain't this interesting! How we squat in the woods. An important issue that often has comical overtones.

I often squat against a tree and dig a hole between the roots. I like the backrest. Helps save the knees.”

“The trick is to find a good tree to hold onto, and then pull yourself up when complete.I think this discussion is the "art" of bping mentioned in another thread.”

“A mossy tree log is good to hang the backside over. Nature's padded toilet seat.”

“That is the silliest thing I?ve ever seen?and unnecessary.”

“poopypants...hmmm well it's all in the name I guess...
Birch, that hold onto the branch idea is a good one... I will try it next time... my knees might like the help... I'll be sure to post my potty report!”

“what's the problem here folks??? it's just sh!tting on the ground!! this ain't no damned rocket science!!”

“You guys crack me up.”

“Unless you are tryin' to sh!t out a rocket...~~~~~~~~><======>

I reckon we're all squatters-at least for the time we are occupying the woods.

Seriously, one would have to remove their trousers in order to affect a squat like that.

One musn't land that load in their pants, which would be around their ankles, hence, the "lean-back-tree".”

“Maybe that shoulda been "effect"...........”

“Squat Like An Egyptian.”

“aye carumba!!”

“You haven't lived till you've tried this on snowshoes in 6 feet of snow at 18 degrees below zero.”

“Maybe snowshoes would actually allow you to squat somewhat flat footed. I have to agree with Tommy on this one. It only works balanced on the balls of your feet. But then maybe I'm not as limber as some. Or perhaps I'm like bubble-butt TT, with my CG too far aft!! LOL”

“Ya don't balance on the balls of your feet. If your feet aren't flat on the ground you are doing it wrong. Spread your feet more.

I don't have to remove my trousers when I squat. I have used this method with insulated coveralls.

My knees are 44 years old and they work just fine in this position.”

“Yo bacpac, have you considered entering the Tough Sh!t competition?

Yeah, I can squat flat-footed, I just have to watch out for the drawers around my ankles.”

“YOU SH!T IN YOUR COVERALLS!”

“How to sit and shIt with ease, place your elbows on your knees, place your hands upon your chin, squeze your asshOle out and in.”

“Yikes!”

“Three "poop" threads in three days! I think you all have too much time on your hands and not enough to do.”

“Just don't get any on your hands.

WaftRat's doin' the hokey-pokey.....dat's what it's all about!”

“my gift to you...

there is a poop story here.”

“ROTFLMAO. Bacpac that is first laugh I have had in over a week. :) You need a newspaper however.”

“thanks radagast, the poop story was a good test to my vocab memory.. that guy can really bs about his s...”

“This should get you to a pic of me in Utah last April. I realized that it unintentionally related to this topic (no cathole under me bum, of course):

“hey let me know if it works; I don't know how to create a hyperlink. I'm on Mac with Netscape.”

“Good form, Bonzai. Next time you might want to drop trou though! Less laundry that way! LOL

Hey, how was Crater Lake? I bet it was a bit chilly up there at night. Hope you had a good time.”

“Nice squat, Bonzai!”

“Thanks alpine. Crater Lake was beeyootiful - first time for me. Amazing. Great hikes, lots of fresh air, hackey sack, a live 'band' (two guys with a banjo and a geetar and a gal with a fiddle), food...five days of no alarm clocks; babbling brook...lots of skeeters...goood times. Not too bad at night, either. My air mattress had a leak and I was too lazy to find the pinhole so I slept on the ground but it was all right (specially after imbibing home made brews and mead and...)!”

“Coool! Thanks ski!”

“Now we know what you look like. It's nice to put a face with the name. You look like a Bonzai (that's meant as a compliment).”

“Now there is a woman who knows how to drop a load.

Cute too!”
