5.0 out of 5 stars Tears of laughter and sensible advice in one book!, 13 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Myself and another scout leader were told by the scouts to 'Shut Up! We're trying to sleep!' as we howled with laughter reading excerpts from this worthy tome.

More seriously we have some very good reasons to encourage hand washing among the lads when on camp.

5.0 out of 5 stars a serious book in a funny tone, 25 Feb 2001
By A Customer
A rather strange book telling you stories of how people had a numer 2 in the wild. The stories will have you gripped and peaing your pants in no time. The most funny of allstories is th person who had one in his hood and forgot until he put it on! I would recomend you buy this book unless you are easily offended it is also a presents vivide pictures for the mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost art? Hardly., 30 April 1998
By A Customer
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!
