Peeing in the Woods?!
Question:
Peeing in the Woods?
Why do some people never, even on camping trips, pee behind a tree, but insist on going back to the cabin where they can get nice clean soap? Are the genitalia really more "dirty" than other parts of the body/skin?
Answers:
Does a bear poop in the woods? Of course he does. Relieving oneself in the woods is something animals do. One doesn't have to comforts of civilization when one does so, so it isn't as convenient. People like to think they are better than animals. Not having to poop in the woods is proof this is so.
There is also a sanitation issue involved here. If there are lots of people in the woods doing natures call it becomes very unsanitary and can spread disease.
What it comes down to is if you are way out in the boonies and you do it properly, ie dig a hole to do it in and bury it afterwards, you are okay. But if you are in an area that many people frequent wait until you get to a public restroom or back to the cabin.
