| Quote |
Everyone needs a quiet, private place to shit right? That may be hard to find after things collapse. Nevermind the problems in finding something to clean yourself afterwards. You can laugh all you want at this post but I am dead serious. Everytime I take a shit I worry what it will be like when I don't have the privacy of my bathroom to do it. Im one of those people that takes 15 or 20 minutes to do my job. Am I alone or do you guys worry about this to? |

use a rag on a stick to wipe, like the Romans did
just rinse it in vinegar
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is MOD when I lay my vengeance upon thee. |

and while you're at it salt up the rag, and add a bit of chilli powder for that extra zing around the ring  |

You could always shit in a creek. |

Finally a thread that really matters and addresses the important issues.
If you're in the woods, there is no problem of course.
In the city you can always build yourself a little place out of cardboard boxes underneath a highway bridge. Should be fairly private.
After 3 days or so you'll get over it. You'll look back and laugh at yourself for believing you really needed all those things. Pure illusion. |

I'm more concerned about other people taking a shit (well leaving a shit). It will be quite a dirty place!
Add plastic baggies to your bugout bag - if you are hunkered down somewhere, you won't want to be smelling your poo the whole time. |

And a little garden shovel. Yeah, if you don't bury the stuff and don't keep your hands clean, a lot of people can get sick. |

I think you're in the minority OP.
My shits don't take longer than 90 seconds
And I have wiped with my finger or with leaves on numerous occassions without any issue |

Start rigging up some kind of solar powered septic tank. Or build an outhouse with a bottomless hole. |

LOL, you'd hate war in the desert then. I had to take my daily dumps out in the flat desert with absolutely NO privacy at all. It was just a hole in the ground, & miles & miles of flat dunes in hostile territory, lol.
I once got buzzed by a bored Apache pilot while doing my business. How rude! Having a hovering 20mm chain gun pointed at you while you're trying to pinch one off is one definition of a bad day. Thank God he was on my side, lol.
Trick: Wait until dark to do your business. It won't help against Apaches, but at least you can tell yourself that no one can see you.
For your own sake, stock up on a year's supply of toilet paper. It's cheap now, not so after a future collapse. I wouldn't trade mine off for anything less than antibiotics or firearms, lol.
And a small shovel would help too... |

Those Apaches are clever too. They only make small fires at Dusk right when the sky turn color, making it harder to see.
I suggest not doing your business in a ravine because that's where Apaches tend to hide, especially if you are riding Horseback but it is quite difficult to defecate while riding a horse. |

Stock up on personal wipes. You can buy them in drugstores. You can also buy "organic" personal hygiene wipes in Whole Foods. |

They will eventually dry out. But, you can pour a little water on them to rehydrate them. So, all is good. |
