Have you ever had to heed nature's call in the woods?

[Dreambiscuit 11,128]

Like Rarity, I loathe camping. But when I was young I was obliged to accompany my family on the occasional camping excursion. I didn't enjoy it very much and the worst part was having to use the facilities where there weren't any facilities. It's awkward, nasty business, doing one's business, and there always seems to be a bee, anthill, unsettling sound or troupe of other hikers that inevitably materialize the moment the pants come down.

And would it be asking too much for someone to install a bidet out there in the wilds? I mean really, let's get civilized!

I have gotten to nature before, however, I've limited myself on peeing so far. I rarely have pooping emergencies, to the point of pooping in public restrooms onle three times in my whole life

Thankfully, no. I mean, it's not like I'm in the woods on a daily basis, come to think of it, not even this year, but if I am, I usually go before heading out on a trip.

Not in the woods, but it did happen in the middle of the ocean once. I jumped out of the boat and did my business in the water. The details of the story may be a bit too graphic to post here.

Always pack a trowel and toilet paper when you go camping

I've done it a few times. I often find when hiking that my body burns fuel better and leaves less waste to dispose of. I usually have a small shovel about me (mostly for fires, partly for heeding nature's call), so it's never been a problem. It's actually nice to enjoy some scenery when doing the doo.

Only problem is when there's skeeters...

I would only heed nature's call when nopony/ human is around. I like to do things very privately.

[EpicEnergy 23,244]

I've never done it before, but I would do it somewhere private if I really needed to.

[Clawdeen 20,138]

No I’ve never been in the situation where I would have to do that.

[TheRockAReader 53,897]

Number one...... Yes.

Number two...... NO!

There's too many logs in the wild and I'm not adding any more.

[Clawdeen 20,138]

No. Besides never being in that situation where I would need to, I’m not looking to have like a poisonous spider bite my rear end

[ExplosionMare 21,200]

No, but I was close to when I was sitting with my dad in his truck waiting for a concert that never happened. He offered to leave one of the truck doors open as a privacy shield but I was too worried other people would see me, so I just (painfully) waited until we could find an actual bathroom.

[Do svidaniya 2,014]

I tend to spend a lot of time in nature so yes. 

[Snoopy Fan 7,760]

No, but then again, I’ve never been out in nature for that long before.

[Tao 8,833]

Yes.  Given I do a LOT of rustic camping  and even when the birds are watching.....

[Longhaul 8,007]

Yes, but only because it was a dire emergency.

[Fluttershutter 2,857]

Not actually in the woods. Once at a boy scout camp I went into an outhouse at night. I sat down and then shining the flashlight around I saw a wasp nest and a huge spider in a web!  What could I do??? I had to finish!

Luckily I got out safely but that really sucked!!!
