Let's talk about poo (not shampoo)

[Alyssa DeRonne]

I just read that sitting on a toilet screws things up and that you should squat!   Holy!  I never thought about that.... I mean, mother nature intended for you to squat, right?  The chinese, japanese... they squat right?  

hmmm interesting........

funny. i learned that after i had aesop and my internal hemm issues...... 

[Torrie Trautman]

err, read that. once i was researching BUTTS! and everything about them, lol

While I don't backpack much anymore I have shat in the woods hundreds of not thousands of times, I've noticed that a woods squaring poo is quick and easy all the time, a lighter constancy and usually more clearing.

TMI, I have been squatting for years.  It seems to offer a more complete elimination.  I prefer to lift the seat btw.....much easier.

help me with logistics here pls...I would like to squat more, but i'm
having trouble imagining how to do this. so...Katt--you lift the toilet
seat and squat over it in a partial squat, or do you have a special
place you can fully squat over and then dump the contents into the
toilet? i've seen those toilet add-ons that give you a place to put
your feet and then you can fully squat over the toilet. how do you do
it, Katt?

[Alyssa DeRonne]

you can just use a stepping stool (haha) under your feet....

I just life the seat and squat on it barefoot.  You can practice this on the floor first.  The position is most comprable to a squat position in kundalini yoga- ie squat down so you have a deep bend in your knees and your but is about 6" off the floor.  Your feet will be a little more than shoulder width apart.  Clasp your hands together and pull your arms through your legs.  Push your lower triceps against your knee, your hands and arms should form a triangle.

thanks, Katt.  now I've got a visual!  I will definitely have to practice this first...and clean the toilet when I do this, since there's boys in my house who for some reason, can't keep the toilet clean...lol.

[Torrie Trautman]
