can you take a dump anywhere?
 
i know some that need "hometurf" to "go". :D

i work a quarter mile underground. i ate leftover pancakesfor breakfast, and had a cup of coffee (black) after laying off the stuff for a few days...oh-o. no way i make it to my truck, down the hill. the closest facility was a blue outhouse that looked like it was taken straight from a mexican bran muffin factory tour for americans. my GOD! i contemplated taking the portable eye wash station in for an improv butt wash...

this was worst than any third world toilet, that i have encountered.:eek:

sorry for the lowbrow topic, i am bored. hahhahahah

Way back in my construction days, an empty drywall compound bucket was my best friend.:D

I can go anywhere. and to quote George Carlin:" You dont take a crap you leave a crap!"

legion 07-07-2009 10:14 AM

Anywhere?

I haven't tried everywhere, so I suppose I will never know.

Public restrooms don't bother me. Porta-potties don't bother me (except when it's hot out--they are like ovens then). Hotel rooms don't bother me.

The gutter on a busy street? Probably not. I did see a guy stop and drop trow on Poidras in Nawlins once a few years ago.

Took one of these on my last camping trip out in the woods of Alabama (no Deliverance jokes). I was made fun of by just about everyone there at the beginning....by the end of the trip I was the frickin hero.

Out behind the hangar with some old shop rags without metal shavings. The sphincter just taint what it used to be. Turn 9, the dog leg at Grattan sometimes has the same effect.

Roosterrusek 07-07-2009 10:19 AM

Oh and I always travel with a roll in the truck :)

I used to just dig a trench when backpacking...

My first year of summer camp in boyscouts as a kid I refused to use the kybo (glorified deep hole in the ground) more because of all of the bugs crawling around the thing. By Thursday of my first week, nature was pressing its needs and I was faced with the decision of either getting over my fears or finding some other alternative. Well, the camp was busy so finding a quiet spot was just about impossible, so I gave in and used the kybo. At least it had walls and stalls (without doors). When I went to Philmont a few years later, the kybos were literally a box sitting out in the woods that had two toilet seats on them--back-to-back. We used to call them "copilot to bombadier" kybos. :D

I ran into a few places in China so bad, I had to hold it for a while. The one countryside outhouse I did have to break down and use at least had handlebars to hold onto while I squatted.

Jims5543 07-07-2009 10:32 AM

I am a Land Surveyor, I keep a roll in the truck, and I have placed many fertilizer treatments into the woods. I would throw a roll on my shovel handle and head into the brush.

To be honest, its probably the most relaxing place to take a nice dump.

Working on construction sites was different and those pot o potties are just nasty. I try to time my movements to happen either at home or at the office. I am pretty good at holding off a prairie dog.

Gogar 07-07-2009 10:35 AM

I'll do pretty much anything to avoid using a public toilet. If it's unavoidable i can, but I'd rather not.

When I was a little kid and went to camp in the summer for a week, I didn't take a dump till I got home. Broke the habit when I went to camp that was a month long.

Heel n Toe 07-07-2009 10:39 AM

"Copilot to Bombardier" kybos. L O L :D

I can go anywhere. And have.

give me enough hot curry chicken and i'll be happy to deposit a sloppy one on your living room rug while you and your family are watching Tv

chapo 07-07-2009 10:42 AM

On the job we call them "honey buckets". 5 gallon bucket with a plastic bag in it. Cleaner than the outhouse usually.

Hoo boy do I understand that! About my 3rd or 4th day in Beijing, some of the dog or cat we ate wasn't agreeing with my stomach too well and it was becoming urgent. I found a public toilet in a market, paid my 5 yuan or whatever it was and went inside. A room about 10x10 with a few holes in the floor and a stench like the dead. Literally, one man pissing over another man who was squatting. I turned around and left - I knew I just couldn't do it without vomiting. Walked about 2 blocks, came upon a really nice 5-star hotel, air conditioning, marble washrooms, the works. I left them a really nice present to say thanks! :D

s_morrison57 07-07-2009 11:49 AM

I work all over mostly in 3rd world countries and was in Chille (2nd world), we were living at 15K feet and working at 16000', there was port a potties everywhere, you couldn't evan take a leak anywhere but in the porta, they were really anal on that sorta stuff, also ripped a few 2200 ft. under ground , so there's the highs and lows of my experiances, any body top that, and greasing one on the plane don't count

creaturecat 07-07-2009 11:51 AM

In Boy Scouts, buddy dropped his brand new knife in the dugout latrine.
He fished it out.
That was the year we started the forest fire.

craigster59 07-07-2009 12:30 PM

As long as there's something to sit on or lean against, no problem. But those "solar" toilets on Mt Whitney, the smell is still in my nostrils.

fingpilot 07-07-2009 12:31 PM

Ah, had no idea where this thread would turn down the cr*pper, but a poop at 51000 feet and a pee at 62000 feet counts, right?

porsche4life 07-07-2009 12:40 PM

Hey legion when I get home I'll post up a picture of a pilot to bombadier in about 3ft of snow. Yes we had to use it and yes it was so cold

Heel n Toe 07-07-2009 12:51 PM

How many of you have done this one for an outdoor BM; I forget when or where I learned it... probably on some impromptu campout in junior high.

It's a very valuable technique to know.

1. With TP in hand, walk into the woods looking for a sapling just the right size/diameter.
2. The right size is one that, when held with one hand about chest level allows you to lean back to where your BM will not land in your pants... which are to be around your ankles.
3. Make a couple of TP handfulls.
4. Drop trou... deposit your load... when you're done, squat a bit more while holding on so you can wipe.
5. Cover with leaves from the forest floor.

Optional (and preferred): dig a hole first.

rammstein 07-07-2009 01:11 PM

Do any of you have trouble NOT peeing while pooping? I can pee without pooping, but not vice versa. Its made for some difficulty with the occasional outdoor emergency poo attacks.

Why you simply let it hang a little further......Oh wait. That might not work for some of you....

"The sapling method" takes care of that because it leaves one hand free for aiming the monster downward.

No shy sphincter here. I have left many a craps around the world. Probably the worst were the ones on the way into Iraq. At least I did not have clean up duty for those.

Yep, anywhere. When nature calls I answer the phone.

I was on a flight in the Ukraine a few years ago, and the toilet was separated from the main cabin by a curtain.

Damn. That rug really tied the room together.

mattdavis11 07-07-2009 03:03 PM

Anywhere. When wade fishing (don't usually wear waders) I just drop the draws and release a brown trout if need be.

David 07-07-2009 03:32 PM

I've heard it's legal to poop almost anywhere when you have too, i.e. the side of the road, while taking a wizz is indecent exposure. Anyone know if there's truth to that?

The way I heard it a friend was on the side of the road with his buddy taking a crap shielded by the car. A cop pulled up and asked if they were peeing. When he told him what his buddy was doing the cop went to his trunk and got them a roll of TP.

Oh Haha 07-07-2009 04:05 PM

Best friend got a ticket for urinating in public. He thought the officer was going to shoot his pecker. Apparently, you CAN'T stop peeing even if a gun is drawn on you.:D

mattdavis11 07-07-2009 04:13 PM

True, pretty sure the same goes for pissing. Unless there is a witness other than your friend or the officer(s), at least in Texas, you are free and clear.

On several occasions the DPS, County Mounties, Border Patrol have asked what we were doing on the side of the road looking relaxed. I've always answered watering the grass, sir. Never had a problem. Pretty sure the witness is anyone other than those who are party to the incident, a.k.a., a stranger. If someone drives by and you are shielded by the vehicle, nothing can be seen. As kids, we used to let it go through the rear window on the station wagon while cruising down the interstate. No big deal.

wcc 07-07-2009 05:04 PM

Yup! Anywhere. I mean anywhere! I won't go into details but yes, no problem... LOL! Well one time I hung onto the front tire and popped a squat to unleash the evil brewin'! That was one of the ultimate BUTTERBLASTS! hahahahahaha...

Well when you take the truck out to the woods to go bear hunting, you don't want the bumper dumper sticking out like a sore thumb.
