How to Sh*t in the Woods

How to Sh*t in the Woods: An Environmental Sound Approach to a Lost Art by Kathleen Meyer

The definitive guide to eco-friendly outdoor defecation–fully revised with a new introduction by renowned author and environmental activist Bill McKibben. Makes an excellent gag gift for an outdoor enthusiast.

More than thirty years since its first publication, Kathleen Meyer delivers an update to the beloved guide to relieving yourself responsibly. Meyer’s delightfully shameless discussion of a once-secretive activity examines the environmental impact of too much crap (organic and otherwise) on our ever-shrinking wild outdoors.

With the rising popularity of hiking and off-the-grid backpacking as well as the current climate crisis, How to Shit in the Woods provides timely techniques for keeping trails, bushes, and wild waters clean and protected when indoor plumbing is not an option. Meyer shares proper procedures in a way that is approachable and comprehensible for all audiences, from beginner to expert.
