How do you go to the bath room
in the woods?
I don't know how many times we have been asked during school visits, "How
do you go to the bathroom?". Well in this excerpt Calvin Rustrum
explains to his two travel companions from Chicago how they should go
to the bathroom. Let us know if you think we should try his method!
"I hustled them out of bed, sleepy-eyed and apprehensive,
two hours before daylight on a not too cold, clear, star-studded morning.
Days are short and nights long in the Northern winter. Breakfast was eaten
leisurely with many cups of coffee, while I laid down a brief for the
day's activities ahead, even explaining how they might go about most comfortably
performing their urgent body functions in subzero temperatures and sown
that could be waist-deep. A square of turned-up birch bark is used as
receptacle, the function performed in it inside the warm tent, and immediate
disposition made in the wood stove. The bark creates a quick hot flame,
and with ventilation no factor in the tent, all is sans gene."
