2 Things

-Having to take One, at O Dark Thirty, in the cold windy rain is the worst. That cold rain hitting my back and butt that early in the morning is the worst.

-I've told my wife that I want to leave $$ to the bathroom at the Sol Duc Hatchery, County Park off Richwine and the National Park for the Out House at the end of Oil City. They've all made my life a lot more comfortable for a lot of years.

Ah, what the hell, I'll throw in my 2 cents.

Tip #1....Always carry a roll of butt rigging behind the seat of the truck. Case in point, I was towing the driftboat northward up the coast early in the AM for some hot coho fishing a few Falls ago. The coffee squirts came-a-call'n and it was 3-alarm $hit time....not later.....NOW! I couldn't pull over fast enough. That handy roll of TP saved me from a horrid mess and some carefully crafted explaining to the fish'n buds what the hell that smell was??

Tip #2 Never carry your fishing pliers in the back pocket of your jeans when nature calls. Came across a fishing partner taking care of business only to watch the pliers in his pocket center-punch his deposit as they fell out of the pocket. Don't think they got used for awhile thereafter.

I keep a small pack of "Wet-ones" in my front wader pocket exactly for this purpose.

If ur anchored in a tidal area make sure the tide is moving when u lay that floater next to the boat. Saves from moving off your spot.

Nope, no logs.
You wanna pick a good spot and then squat like a Viet Neese to get the full Wilderness Deuce Drop effect.

Pro Tip:
During the event, I like to decorate nearby branches with whatever wiping materials I have.
Then when the time comes, they are readily accessible.


Sitting on a log is so Victorian.

On another note, Mother Nature's taking a royal DUMP on Grays Harbor. Man it's been raining hard tonight!

The Hoquiam gage has had measurable precip EVERY day this month. It's been 3 straight weeks if you count the last 5 days of Feb.

You guys are absolutely disgusting! There should be a law about leaving feces in the woods. You have to pick up after your dog in a county park, so why in the hell is it okay to leave schit in the woods for somebody to step in or to contaminate the same environment that we come out to enjoy.

Pack it in.......pack it out

Lol, had me in tears!

Same thing happened to me at about 20 years old,within minutes it was non stop rectum rockets. I have not been back to TB since.

Doc, we have surpassed the annual rain fall in the last 5 months...sick of this.

Proper sphincter tone, a balanced diet and precision timing = no wiping required.

Make like a bear and just push, pinch and walk away.

Since there appears to be a great deal of interest in this subject, where's the strangest or most awkward place you've needed to let one drop.

over the years of fishing I have learned stay away from the coffee at the chevron in arcata ca. and The all u can eat chinese buffet if it is still there. If you squat between the trailer and the truck on the side of the freeway it is actually quite comfortable even in the middle of a snow storm. My buddy and I did this 3 times from Arcata to the trinity in one morning after the chinese buffet. 20 years ago I learned the wader straps have to be rolled up into the waders and pull waders toward front of body, while squatting, just to be safe. Really sucks to have straps that smell like underware. Dont over eat on thanksgiving and drive all night to fish when your brother wont pull over for you to relieve yourself. Had to cut away the underware on that one. Works quite nicely if you if you have a sharp pair of scissors nearby. I prefer paper towels. Makes for quick work. Bonus The paper towels are biodigradeable.

I am little sad that eyeFish hasn't provided insight on the best way to take a dump while fishing, hunting, or just outside. That guy seems to have an ideal technique for all the situations an outdoorsman will face.

Proper release technique outlined in great detail with a picture of a really nice one still half in the water.

A few years back I felt the need to cut one loose while fishing my local crik in January. Pulled the DB over and walked into the woods looking for that prime spot at which I thought I found. There was a nice log spanning a pit a couple feet deep that was just calling for my @ss to sit on. After the blowout I started to gather my thoughts when the log gave way.

I stood up to asses the situation and instantly realized I was in trouble as I could feel the steam coming off my backside. I looked on the ground and saw nothing due to the fact it was pancaked to my lower back.

Had to strip down and wash myself off in the river, in fricken January.

I've squatted ever since!!!

Did you get any fish after that?

Within 5 minutes of going vertical in the morning it is time for business. The guys at elk camp can vouch for me on that. Seldom do I have a two poop day, even less is the magical 3 poop day. That solves most issues, just training your body to get it done first thing. Then shower and you are ready for your day. That helps avoid the 45 minute post poop re-wipe. You non-hairy, Brazilian waxing mofos have no idea.

I do always carry wipe in the truck, and baby wipes in the hunting pack or waders, and yes, I ALWAYS know where my wader straps are, ALWAYS.
