Since my knees don't let me squat that low, there are special logistics required, if a privy isn't available I need a log, I'm building my triceps taking dumps, it's going to be really schmitty if my hands ever slip and I land in...you know what.I may grow old but I'll never grow up.

It's harder to fall into a cat hole and the bears can't hide in a cat hole and scare the crap out of you 1st thing in the morning.
Spoken from experience (the bear info that is). -

Definitely the cat hole. My preferred method is to find a tree that has a nice thick vine that can support my weight about 5-10 feet away from the tree, dig cat hole directly underneath vine, then swing back and forth trying to land one in the hole...I call this "The Tarzan"
got caught doing this once...never saw a hiker run so fast down the trail, perhaps the Tarzan yell was a bit over the top.

I've yet to score a direct hit, mostly strafing rim shots...its harder than it looks.The post was edited 3 times, last by Socks ().

I'm a fan of the cat hole but sometimes it's nice to sit in a privy. It's hard to dig cat holes at the base of trees but that's my favorite spot. I thought I found a good spot once but afterwards realized I was on a switchback.Lost in the right direction.

This is the kind of privy I like. Used it this week at Pictured Rocks. Nice view, no smell (if the wind is blowing). Funny thing is that not all campgrounds have one and the park doesn't tell you if your campground has one or where it is. They are tucked away in the woods near the camp site. Either another camper tells you about it or you find it by chance while poking around. I found this one while picking thimbleberries.

Is this a religious argument with the cat-hol-ics on one side and the privitans on the other?I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here.

Ever sit in a nice new fully enclosed privy doing your business only to look up and realize that there is an active paperwasp nest on the ceiling between you and the door? I have...Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

I dunno but he was huge and jumped off the privy wall and came after me when my camera flashed. I broke the privy's broom on him killing him. I felt bad about that- breaking the broom that is. I forget which shelter has the Taj Mahl privy I think it is in Massachusetts?
Jeesh! Has me reconsidering CCW on the trail. Used to seem unnecessary, but if Jurassic Park is still letting creatures like that escape... I just dunno.
You're a good man! When I'm hiking, camping, whatever, I try not to kill too much stuff unless it's absolutely necessary. But if that giant came after me I might've leveled the whole damn privy trying to kill his ass.*

we all know what happens when you use the privy at Jurassic Park. I don't think CCW will help.
I can't tell if that scene was in Southern Maine or actually still in New Hampshire.*

I took a spare tire from the bed of my truck once to find one of these ladies with hundreds of babies on the tire when I laid it down.

In the old days hikers would carve a butt plug out of hickory. They did not go until they got off the trail. That is why the old pictures of hikers they always look so stoic. I learned this from Tipi Walter.
I believe a lot of what Tipi says but I don't believe that.Lost in the right direction. -
