5.0 out of 5 stars Lost art? Hardly., 30 April 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Shit in the Woods: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art (Paperback)

Kathleen Meyer would be the one lady I would not want to go in the woods without! Her insight to the obvious will keep you rolling until your sides ache! As for cetain kinds of devilish little buggers getting loose into the water supply, Kathleen takes a no-nonsence approach as to how to poop and not pollute! She has a chapter for women only and solutions to the "flat rock problems" most women have to deal with in the woods as well. I strongly recommend this book, especially for scouting mom's!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, well-researched, useful, great glossary, 16 Mar 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Shit in the Woods: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art (Paperback)

I bought two copies of this book in December, 1996. The first was purchased as a gift and the second one was for me. My copy has since disappeared. As an avid cross-country skier (and when necessary, outdoor pooper), I found many of the suggestions quite useful. The book also became a great conversation piece with friends on our ski weekends. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written and entertaining., 20 Feb 2008

Edward Jackson "Tundra Boy" (Lancs England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: How to Shit in the Woods: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art (Paperback)

Whilst I don't get caught short too often, I now feel equiped to go about it in a environmentally sound way. The author is based in America so some of the information about eqiupment and local plants is not useful. Other than that its a good read witty and informative.
