I agree with the difficulties of squatting... do you pull a leg out of your pants? Or how else do you avoid dropping a log in them? Or, even worse, when it's liquid...
 
I go very easily. Since the girls have been potty trained there has been a stepping stool that was the base of their training toilet at the front just like the squatty thing. Out of habit when I got my pants on, I started putting my feet on it because it annoys the shit outta me trying to place my feet on either side while sitting.
 
This nation of fatties will never go for toiletto Turcos. It's one thing to be Gandhi and squat, another to be pre-diabetes RV guy. I used those toilets in India. Hated 'em. Plus, you are so much closer to the cockaroaches that are everywhere. Not to mention whatever else might climb out of the sewer and attack yer naughty bits.

When I was hunting last fall I had the same dilemma. I found that digging a little hole to squat over and pulling the bunched up pants forward like a slingshot between the ankles worked just fine.
 
clearly some of you have not shit in the woods very often and have lived sheltered lives. Those problems just don't occur. never shit on my shoes or my pants ever.

Right. More likely to hit something wi' liquid coming out the front whilst assuming the position. If you know what I mean and I know you do.:laughing:laughing

Nasty story. Working at the House of Machining in Watsonville about 20 years ago, maggot wagon guy asks to use the restroom. He is probably 500 lbs, maybe more. He goes in there, leaves, then someone else goes in there, ""Hey, look at this!" There were foot prints all over one side of the toilet seat. We figured that he had to put one foot up there, because he had so much meat hanging down, not dick meat, but flab/leg/gut apron meat, that he had to shit like that.
 
Wow. that's a lot to digest. First off, what is the maggot wagon?:rofl:rofl

Even tho its 20 years ago, I am praying its not another term for roach coach....

Never came close..it was more for peace of mind.

They have those ground level shitters at mission college. I used one in a pinch and it wasn't bad

Good lord, my first job out of college was at Eaton in Mtn. View. We had Ron who worked in the machine shop and was 350+. He always left a left hand grease mark on the wall in front of the toilet. He couldn't support himself to pee by just standing. Gross.
I've had to give toilet training lessons to many of my employees from way south of the border. Many would put their feet on the toilet and squat so they wouldn't touch the seat - they were afraid they were going to get aids....I was still glad they were using the toilet and not doing their business out in the orchard - takes at least an hour for it to wear off the tractor tire.

That post was not post-worthy...:laughing

59 years old & I still enjoy bathroom humor. :teeth
 
If I have the option, I prefer to sit

if out in the woods, there isn't really an option

fortunately I haven't shat on myself in the woods. after b-packing all day, it seems to firm up my poop so I fortunately haven't experienced mud butt on the trail either. although as my body is clearing out years of unhealthy eating, the poops tend to have colors that I didn't know possible to be created by metabolism. I'm talking bright blue-jade colors, many green shades, and the like. It's bizarre but so far I have held back the urge to photographically document them.
 
We tend to stand around or sit when we hang out in this country. In a country where people squat in the bathroom, you see people squatting outside when they are hanging.

I have been mostly squatting for the last year and a half, as many homeless people do in this country.
