Dont forget to dig a hole under the seat and supply adequate sand/sawdust to quench any smellage......

While you are at it maybe you could install some kind of lighting system. One likes to see what one is doing.

A washbasin would not go amiss either

A bucket of water and a sponge would also come in "handy"

just pinging a comment

"how to shit in the forest" is a guide to "natural methods for nature's neccesities" for all those who go on holidays far from the loo, and has been published in french for a french audience by author Kathleen Meyer with Edimontage.

And you can see a little photo montage thing from a past Le Monde. worth a look.

A little tune for when you are whistling in the dark.
From "AN EVENING (WASTED) WITH TOM LEHRER" Probably one of the best anti-war songs ever

"And we will all go together when we go.
Every Hottentot and every Eskimo.
When the air becomes uranious,
We will all go simultaneous.
Yes, we all will go together
When we all go together,
Yes we all will go together when we go."


and if you click on the link you get to hear the music too.

Human beings are mammals;

for mammals, to love is to lick;
to lick is to love;

It is totally inappropriate to talk about licking when we are discussing toilets and such matters.

author by disgracefulpublication date Sun Aug 21, 2005 16:42author address author phone

If that assertion is indicative of the factual quality of your book, then stop plugging it. The obvious exceptions to the "very freudian excretion = love rule" are the monotremes, and marsupials, both mammalian species do not stimulate excretion or urination "by licking" the newborn. And their newborn are not expressing "love" by licking the lactile area (as neither monotromes or marsupials have teats/nipples) they are merely ensuring thier survival.
